Not to quibble, but I'd imagine that four-wheel drive is useful while driving on sand. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Gromnir Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 y'know, the thing is, unlike a few other members o' Congress, stefanik is not an idiot. with complete awareness she is misrepresenting, she says anyway, and while most o' us will channel the picard facepalm or other meme dujour in response to this bit o' utter nonsense, 1/3 o' the country is cheering her for her willingness to speak truth. mighta' ordinary put the tweet in the politics thread, but our basement for stoopid were exceeded.

teknoman2 Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 the corporate marketing machine has cultivated a population that is willfully ignorant and proud of it. studies have shown that naivete is at an all time high in USA. i think it was in a Neil Tyson's podcast (Star Talk) that they said that religiosity is at an all time low but at the same time people are eating up any pseudoscience that is thrown their way and defend these fakes with religious zeal as indicated by the rise of anitvaxxers, flat earthers and other such groups that believe any silly nonsense. to use an example of corporate induced naivete, lets use an old marketing photo of coca cola that shows a huge vault where the ''secret recipe" is held - a recipe that is by law printed on every bottle and which is written in full detail in a patent that is publicly available for anyone to read... but there are still people (adults) who think there is a vault with the secret recipe in it The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.
