They have a reputation for it, though I'm not sure if it's entirely deserved this article does a good job of explaining it and references the above meme

It's probably a reference to how ridiculously, disproportionately violent waffle houses are known to get, and the timing is just coincidental.

I understand the revenge fantasy, but advocating for the public torture of someone is fucked up, even if they are a monstrous piece of shit like this guy.

So to summarize, people that don't google things or educate themselves are 'stupid' and 'dunces' and your example of this, a quote from google that turns out to be wildly incorrect in this context, isn't evidence I can use, because it's just an example of how easy it is to look things up.

Nnnno, I'm sorry, you've misunderstood - I was airing my (fairly reasonable) doubt that you don't know why it shouldn't be used on those types of fires.

It is, I admit, also not my responsibility to educate those too stupid to google stuff, but just for fun: Electrocution risk, grease fires explode when doused with water, unknown chemicals may interact with water unpredictably.

Water is absolutely used to combat battery fires. It won't extinguish them, but since firefighting is more complicated than "it puts the water on the flames or else it gets the hose again", that's not really the goal. It's to keep the chassis/batteries cool, douse the surrounding area to prevent the fire from spreading and keep any toxic combustion products from spreading via smoke (yes, that means they get washed into the environment. Not ideal, but better than breathing it.)

Mmhmm mmhmm. So by any chance do you know why it shouldn't be used on those types of fires...?

Not amazed, just depressed.

Did I stutter? Protecting your family is protecting your family, now fetch the jumper cables and a lightning rod, we've got some identity theft to thwart.

I despise them as much as the next queer liberal but it isn't just the vile boomers falling for this. Keep an eye on your grandparents, maybe sit down and explain the more common scams and tell them to call you if they get something weird. No banking info over phones, etc.

Season 3 - "Gamera"

It's got everything you could want. Inexplicably awful children, space travel, a giant rocket powered turtle. My partner and I have been randomly shouting "Capsule!" at each other for many, many years because of that movie, confusing a great many family members in the process. Absolutely wonderful episode.

The whine I've been seeing the most is that the moderators shouldn't be able to "crusade" or "fact check" they should just be there to do their job, and trump shouldn't agree to another debate unless there will be no fact checking.

Yeah, and somehow they think that will reflect positively on them.
