The reason is simple. Misinformation sticks with conservatives more than liberals. With liberals, someone posts evidence that the story isn’t true and the whole thing fizzles out. If someone tries posting counter evidence in a conservative forum, they get banned.

That’s such a lazy meme. The original image had everything you needed to change the text and keep it the original font.


Watch the Pangburn videos of Jordan Peterson debating Sam Harris. It’s easy to see what a word-salad regurgitating sophist blowhard Peterson is.


I use “guys” even when address a group of women. I feel it’s basically become a gender neutral term.


Yeah, I’m not doing anything wrong. Thing is, I’m not the one who would be deciding if the things I’m doing are wrong. The people who would be deciding are determined to find fault with everyone.


I’ve been using Firefox for years.


I yanked the room door open from the inside, forgetting that the latch was still on.
The door frame moulding pulled right off of the wall. The latch was only attached to the moulding and not the wall behind it.


But you interact with other people pretty much the same way? Text/voice/video chat?
