Sideshow Bob is actually an eloquent speaker, and is more the psychopathic kinda crazy, not the “Right now, Obama is spying on me through the microwave!”

I dunno man, Burns isn’t a fucking dumbass or a useful idiot.

This policy is literally against the law in the EU… Wait… double checks notes In the… US? huh… normally it’s the European Union protecting us from big tech bullshit

Wait, I found the 50’s music with “Fuck” in it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuK85ssX67Y

Kinda surprising considering Nintendo has more hatred for the concept of Fair Use than a member of the Klan has for a Spike Lee movie.

That’s… not a good sign

Wait what’s Gnome?

Based Frank Zappa

Wait… the 1950’s had music with the word fuck in it?

I thought you were joking till I clicked the link.

God that’s a pet peeve of mine, people who think they’re the sole component about why something works, when what’s working works IN SPITE of them.

Shareholders definitely qualify.

Real Science attracts smart people who want to learn a thing or two about the world, Fake Science attracts the kind of gullible kooks you can sell snake oil and orgonite devices to… and I say this as someone who “wants to believe”

Same reason why scam e-mails and telemarketers intentionally leave big gaping holes in their stories while using dozens of spelling errors. If you’re the kind of person who can notice things like that, you’re too smart to buy what they’re selling.

Oh god, I forgot, it was during the “REALITY TV!” boom where marketing and hype had more substance than the shows themselves, and if the show had substance… edit it like it is Reality TV…

I do not miss that.

It’s amazing how intelligent and emotionally mature elephants are. It’s not wonder why people were willing to believe that “Elephants have a moon religion!” line for so long, it seems believable with how often elephants seem to act like chonky humans with a trunk instead of arms.

Yeah… There are many pitfalls to doing a Skepticism based program, sadly one of the few Mythbusters DIDN’T avoid was “Well I can’t personally do it, so it’s impossible for everyone!”

This is why most skepticism based programs don’t work, and Mythbusters did.

They didn’t try to be smug about it, they didn’t belittle people who believed in the myths, they never brought religion and politics into it, and the biggest pitfall they avoided: They never pretended that the “science was settled” and that they “already knew everything”, they simply did the research and went where the data took them.

Too many skepticism based programs seem to think the scientific method is running into a church, yelling “FAKE!”, and then running outside to hurl insults at passersby.

Mythbusters didn’t do that, they skipped the dogma and went straight to the science.

Yesss Berstrips!

I’m in North Carolina, since Obama’s second term we’ve been getting redder and redder, and it’s kinda bumming me out.

The second parliament wants themselves to be the sole exception from a law they wanna pass, that law should be scrapped.

Especially since Reddit passes out bans like candy, it’s the biggest forum on the internet and I can’t use it because of a site wide ban that I didn’t deserve.
