They’re just out here with scholarly citations for every single thing they’ve ever said and didn’t reply because they couldn’t immediately cite a paper with a counter argument.

there is big difference between not having scientific citation and not being able to say why you say things.

“i am just saying words man, why do they have to mean anything…?”

The reductio ad absurdum fallacy occurs when someone tries to prove an argument false by misapplying the premises or making false and absurd conclusions from the argument. It is similar to other fallacies, such as the appeal to ridicule, the straw-man, and the slippery-slope fallacy.

“my words don’t mean anything” is most bizarre argument i have ever seen.

you should preface anything you say publicly with that, to save people some time. in the interest of saving time, you are now on my block list. bye

you could.

so how did you form your opinion? what privileged knowledge do you have on the topic?

I don’t think this rumor is true

and you don’t think that based on… absolutely no knowledge whatsoever?

So what was the pretended point of the story? They were transporting the skinned gorilla body to be used in the hot dog factory and it fell of the truck or what?

these three. are you really not familiar with any of the three media mentioned there? or are you pretending to be dumb in order to troll?

also, there is still whole rest of the article for you to read.

if only there would be some way to find out, like reading the article…

U.S. technology giant Apple has reportedly removed or hidden several Russian-language podcasts produced by independent journalists.

The news outlet Mediazona reported on November 14 that new episodes from the online radio station Ekho Moskvy and investigative outlet The Insider were no longer accessible inside Russia. A BBC Russian Service podcast also appeared to be affected.

Yeah, they should lock them both, just to be on the safe side.

same with harris congratulating him. they just can’t get over that “we have to be better than them”.

but likely just a useful idiot for the people in charge

that’s little bit too harsh. the authors of the article write general news, they do not specialize in technology, and it is pretty clear none of them is gamer (i suspect that telegraph correspondent to united states doesn’t have much free time to waste on gaming 😂).

so while that paragraph is stupid to the degree where it is bordering on funny, i am not looking for malicious intent behind it.

This is how modern propaganda works.

maybe it is modern propaganda, maybe the author is just incompetent moron trying to get as much clicks as possible 😔

Discord servers are restricted ring-fenced sections of the internet. They are often used by gaming groups and communities as secure chat rooms but are also used by fringe organisations to push their ideologies and discuss wild conspiracy theories and plots.

first of all, admin of some random discord server is something else than discord admin, but that wouldn’t give such nice tabloid headline…

try to bury it in some rice first

At this point, even if there were photos of him fucking 10 yo kids, he would just say it is ai and his voter base would not give a fuck.

An official act of executing vice president elect, obviously

it is also possible they have some photos from lolita express or something like that. although at this point i am not sure his voters would give a fuck…

Also they probably lack the leverage putin has, whatever it is.

yeah, i don’t think that trying to out-idiot an idiot is valid strategy, especially if you don’t aim at stupid voters.

because they experienced inflation under Biden that think it was his fault.

yeah, that’s problem all around the world, people are too dumb to understand how two years of covid and ongoing war in europe affects our lives and demand that someone just takes care of it.

so in a year we will get populist pro-russian billionaire prime minister who will just start dropping more inflation money around and tells people “see? i will take care of you!” (while stealing some of these money for himself, of course)

yeah, they are just being hysterical, it is not as if he publicly encouraged and condoned terrorism, right, comrade?
