Wouldn't Directed Energy Weapons make him burn and itch so bad he'd jump around?

We have those, we've used them in real combat, but they don't work like that.

Idiots can be on the left too.

Of course. GMOs and nuclear power

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Some of us aren't against GMOs for being genetically modified, we're against patents on food.

Some of us also are against massive overuse of glyphosate.

"It was his stutter."

"He had a cold."

"He overprepared and got flustered."

"A malicious actor used an Inator on him."

I wonder what the next excuse is gonna be.

"He's old."

He actually said on camera that the reason he is running this time is because Trump is running, meaning that if Trump wasn't running, Biden wouldn't be running, meaning he doesn't even really want the job.

The DNC put up a guy that doesn't even want to be president again, and now 40% of democrat voters want a new nominee because apparently they weren't paying attention for the last 4 years and only realized now, during the debate, that Joe Biden is dealing with cognitive decline.

Having a cold is perfectly normal.

Claiming to have beaten Medicare isn't a cold symptom.

Hmm not sure if that's a bad thing, don't get me wrong I'm all pro choice but those pills have a lot of cancer side effects. Frankly I think you should go to the doctor and do it there then use pills that can give you cancer or make you sterile, then again that's my opinion.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Sure, let's go with that.

This is your occasional reminder that the conspiracy nutballs can be on the left sometimes too.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They are not left or right. They are just people that strictly believe everything that has been disproven or is too stupid to bother disproving, as long as ANY thread of correlation can be made up between it and observable reality.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

To be fair that correlates with being right wing for some reason

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Watch Dan Olsen's video on flat earthers. I'm having a hard time remembering details but the conspiracy theories are more of a symptom than anything. These people are looking for a community as well as an explanation for why the world is so fucked up, and why they are miserable. Anti-semitism and conspiracy theories are more satisfying than anything the left can provide.

The disconnect from reality combined with being prone to belief without proof.

Dating has taught me this. I’m not sure I like this version of the multiverse.
