That, and the MRFF site uses AI generated photographs, which always makes me question the veracity of everything associated with it. It’s not an unbelievable claim for me, I’ve been hearing people call for holy war since 9/11, but the way it’s being presented is setting off all kinds of red flags.
It just feels like I’m eating the onion here.
True, assuming this is rational behavior. People can do some pretty crazy things out of hubris or pressure though.
I’m not going to definitively state that Jeffery isn’t dead. It really is most plausible that he died that night. I just, wouldn’t be surprised if he showed up alive.
Yeah, I agree that the attempt to engage is the most important aspect. What actually constitutes “engagement” is up to semantic debate.
I do think that new arguments should be evaluated, even if it’s presented in bad faith. I feel that the bad faith nature of the argument is a factor that counts poorly in my evaluation, but it’s good to have a solid understanding of the nuance in your stance, even when it comes to the ridiculous.
But by your own admittance, you did think about it once the question was posed, so no, you’re not an intellectual nepobaby.
We have all had past experiences with how hard brick-adjacent substances affect teeth, so it’s not discarding it as a knee-jerk reaction. If you went to a dental college, and the professor made the claim before you knew better, I’d assume you’d be interested in finding out how he came to that conclusion, correct?
For example, should I engage in the “challenging idea” that the world is run by lizard people?
As a counterpoint, you likely have. You’re aware of the position, aware of the proposed evidence, and determined the evidence falls short of proof, which means you’ve engaged with their thinking before rejecting it.
I don’t get it either. I’m 5’4", my first boyfriend was 5’1", and it was fine? It lasted less than a year in highschool, but I remember it fondly.
I’m not sure what incentive he’d have to both lie about identifying his brother’s body and making so much noise about it being a murder…
Remember that he was deeply involved in Epstein’s businesses, including holding the position of president over the J Epstein & Co investment firm.
Schrodinger says “maybe”
Nah, this is depicting animal abuse. Packing peanuts are typically contained in boxes, so this cat was evidently in a box at one point before being evicted into the cruel cold world by uncaring humans. Those mean, nasty humans even took a picture of this poor cat’s suffering to point at and laugh with their friends. They probably even tried to claim the cat was in the wrong, because of some nonsense about the box containing fragile items to be shipped, typical.
I strongly suspect that this sort of thing is done as a gradual rollout to gauge response. You may have just been lucky enough to avoid being sorted into a test group.
I’m not going to show you my ID, but I can hold an extensive conversation with you about Gaia Online, which should prove my age quite well.
Huh, I could have sworn it said MrNiceGuy a minute ago
I dunno, sometimes I want to see discussion about something I’ve already seen, but don’t want to see again. I watched the video the day of, and will gladly talk or joke about it, I just want to choose when and where I refresh my memory of it.
Tangentially, I wish the devs would let me turn off autoplaying gifs, for similar reasons lol.
Unfortunately, I can’t collapse individual comments, it collapses the whole thread.
It’s Crysis at max for the newer generations
My lemmy client doesn’t automatically truncate posts like some other social media platforms do. For sensitive stuff like this, just use the spoiler so people don’t have to scroll past a bunch of useless dots.
I bet we could convince the lemon stealing whores to join the lemon party.
Yeah, it can turn into a full miniPC. I assume the tech has gotten even better since 2017.
My 9 year old phone can be connected to a display with a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
Red Dead Redemption 2. I played partway through, then ran into that quest where Arthur was supposed to meet one of his party members in Blackwater, but it just kept spawning bounty hunters and I gave up after dying like ten times and not finding this guy.
