  1. Sounds like we found someone who is living off the public tit, and doesn't like the idea of actually working.

    I'm sure it does sound like that to you. It's because you're not very bright.

  2. Yeah. The US used to have a very healthy attitude towards science and engineering. Now that is all considered part of the toxic 'left' with its transgender bathrooms. Yay for your science-free future. Who needs those guys?

    Sanctioned by who? The illuminati? lol.

  4. Chas, the Bringer of Truth. Fuck you Snopes, Chas is here.

  5. Basically, as long as it moves in lock-step with what major media and a bunch of heavily biased corporations tell you, for your own good of course, it's not fake news.

    However, if it dissents in any way with the popular narrative, it's GOTTA be fake!

    See! We even have Snopes and FactCheck.org looking into it for us! Because none of their fact-checkers would EVER exhibit ANY sort of bias! And any stories to the contrary MUST be fake news right?

    Now to get real here.

    Any time you see "news" from ANY outlet whatsoever, assume that the outlet has some sort of sociopolitical axe to grind. Apply skepticism in liberal amounts. Do your OWN fact-checking.

    Well, unless you like looking like an idiot later on if you're parroting something incorrect...

    Warms my cockles to see this kid having so much fun with his strawman.

    Yes mate. Anything that contradicts your opinion is fake news. Carry on as you were, dumbass.

    Post-modern "there is no objective truth" hogwash. Real journalism exists, and wankers making up fictitious stories exists. If you can't tell the difference, it's on you.

    God damn it you rumbled me. I'm not in jail either.

  9. They know they have to do basically nothing. Preconceived biases, unwillingness to listen to contradicting evidence (cognitive dissonance), the furthering of an existing narrative - these all do their work for them. They know probably around 1% might check veracity of news. The rest go "I knew it!".

    I get how it seems like it's worth a try, to make 'voices heard' and so on, but this decision has been made and the right people have been paid. It's corruption with a seemingly effective fig leaf.

    You think it's intelligent because you agree with it. That's just confirmation bias.

    That isn't confirmation bias.

    Fears of how everything and everyone is racist and we need to ban guns and tear down our borders and flood our country with massive amounts of foreigners so we're not racist.

    You forgot the link to a notable "leftist" saying that. Go ahead and do it now.

    What was Oliver's blind spot for this net neutrality segment? He didn't even mention party affiliation.

    I suspect Rakarra doesn't like Mr Oliver or his show or his opinions, and therefore Mr Oliver is one-eyed and biased. If he agreed with Rakarra, then he would be unbiased. So it appears.

    Less than half of what you said. Is it working now, by the way? You forgot to say. You just said it 'never worked'. It's not like you're trying to put a spin on these things, is it? Someone more suspicious than me might start to get that idea.

  23. Android was already doomed when it was pushed onto tablets and smarttv's, and then abandoned on those platforms. It didn't scale, it was not appropriate for those devices.

    Oh look, I found Android tablets for sale. That's kinda weird, unless maybe you're wrong?
