  • Research and fact checking is what separates journalists from hacks.
    “Journalist” implies factual information, not science fiction. If someone writes a “news” story about the magic land of Xanth because they can’t tell the difference between a Piers Anthony novel and a scientific study it’s not Piers Anthony’s fault for being too “tricky”.




  • I am sure that they have, but there’s a lot more to it than just that. They have to consider long term maintenance, safety, and availability of parts.

    Water is known and well established, you can buy a lot of stuff right off the shelf and we know it’s short and long term dangers. Everything else gets expensive and unknown very quickly.



  • They are a bunch of bullies who bully other people. Bullying is nothing new, if anything it’s a mark of pride. No, what they can’t deal with is not fitting in, somehow being different. This is why they are antivax. They would rather have dead kids than some neurodiverse weirdos. Also dead children give you a huge sympathy bonus, whereas a weird kid gets you uninvited from get togethers.

    So, if you really want to upset them you have to point out just how weird their weird shit is.









  • Oh sweet baby Jesus… 🤦…
    Uhm thanks for pointing that out…

    The word was supposed to be “weird” and there’s no sane way, no matter how badly I smashed my big fat appendages across the screen, that spell correct could have thought I meant to type “wet”, but yet somehow that’s what it chose.

    My phone finally forced me to let it update to the newer os stuffed full of ai, and now does some insanely weird spell corrections. It will even sometimes change words that I have spelled correctly to things that mean something completely different. But this one is a real beauty. Honestly, it’s so fucked up that I am just going to leave it.
