  • People are being bombarded with low quality information and disinformation.

    They get their news from people like Joe Rogan, tik tok, Facebook, twitter, and their other stupid friends.

    While the “good” people are trying to share quality information (truth), which takes time and effort, the “bad” people just straight up lie. So they can flood all these channels with their lies, and people just eat it up.

    What’s astonishing is that the governments are just letting all this happen. Just letting these tech companies peddle all these lies without any pushback.

    Only Brazil seems to be actually doing something about Twitter and Musk, for example. Why haven’t other countries cracked down on Musk? It’s baffling…



  • Yes, you can actually “brainwash” yourself this way. Every time you remember something, you’re basically rewriting the memory into your brain. So every time you remember something, it becomes less reliable as it has more chances of being corrupted by new information.

    So if you remember a childhood memory, then for some reason you add a detail that wasn’t there before, that’s the new memory.

    Example: you remember going to the zoo as a kid, and you remember seeing a monkey. Then your mom shows you a photo album of your trip to the zoo, and in it, there’s a picture of you watching a lion.

    Next time you remember that trip to the zoo, you’ll probably remember seeing a lion too, even though originally you didn’t at all.

    Memory is incredibly unreliable.






  • Seriously, all this crazyness with the US election has given me newfound sympathy for the people of Russia.

    Americans literally have every respectable news source available to them, and they still get brainwashed by these buffoons because they only get their news from facebook, tiktok, fox news, and shit. They choose to be ignorant.

    The Russian people at least have the excuse that they’re literally living under a dictator and are fed bullshit everywhere they look. They have to actively and at the risk of their security seek out valid sources for what’s actually happening.

    Imagine if every news channel in the US was just Fox News. I guess we might not have to imagine it for much longer…









  • No, it’s not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

    Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

    And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

    Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

    And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

    So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn’t know much about Marvel or comics.

    I mean I don’t know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.



  • He said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.

    Wtf??

    Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.

    Wtf… why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!
