Quote from: neurosis on February 28, 2024, 05:32 AMAnd by the way, the "dam haters", at least in Washington State, ARE the natives.

FYI, race, crede, gender, nationality, color, etc don't matter in the real world. It's Democrats that need to bring all of the above into every conversation. Most normal thinking people don't care what color you are. We are AMERICANS, PERIOD. Nobody alive today was around when the atrocities that happened to their ancestors were going on. Nobody should get preferential treatment based on the above.

You want to change something? Base it off merits and real world data, not off feel good warm fuzzies because something happened to someones great great grandparents.

You're in an argument with yourself here.

I just told who wants the dams torn down. The local natives want the government to honor their treaties and they want the fisheries that were affected by them (the dams) repaired. 

You sit there LOL'ing my comment then then point to the "dam haters" as though it's some group of shit birds who don't know what they're doing. Well, they are who you are referring to. Sorry for letting you know.
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

Quote from: Newbeeee™ on February 28, 2024, 05:48 AMHmmmm....you see, this works both ways.
Because on said "alternative" platforms, there's much info regarding for instance, health.
Stuff that "mainstream" laughs off.
And stuff that Joe Public also laughs off, because, well, "it's crazy talk innit".
Because Joe Public, has been "led to believe"....Joe Public, has been "convinced". With nothing more, than (MSM)News, or (Te Lie Vision) Programmes, or (filtered search) Google....etc etc.
But when you then start searching, you can find the older information. Which can be an eye opener.
Some VERY contradictory, to "modern belief", or course....


Does the info have data to support it?
I don't twitter but, from what I have seen, you can find support for most any premise or theory. I'm sure there's a flat earth twitter feed, probably one that says we're just a simulation for aliens amusement.

With a few exceptions, I'm skeptical of most every bit of info I see online, even from sources I trust.

Like Abe Lincoln said, "Everything you see on the internet is true".

Dunning-Kruger effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias[2] in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.

And even worse, people without degrees are more often than not ASSUMED to possess lower intelligence than their degreed counterparts. Love that hubris. :rofl: Some of the most "intelligent" people I know do not possess college degrees and yet posess IQ's in excess of 120. 140+ is considered genius.

I think a lot of the degree seekers are trying to compensate... add initials after their name to compensate for the lack of digits on their IQ score.
