Nancy Mace in March of 2021: Nancy Mace in June of 2021: A flip flopper in Washington? I'm stunned.

Do you have a link I can take a look at?

Discussion of Concerns for Trump Presidency
Sean Mooney replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
He doesn't know who he is. -
Genuinely curious- how many cases are there of a transwoman sexually attacking a female in a bathroom?

They do thorough long-term tests on every vaccine. They absolutely do test how vaccines interact with each other. Are you being serious? You can literally walk into any vaccine clinic and get like 5 at once. They know how these interact with one another. This is why the stupid idea of can't trust anyone will undo you.
-
And then they go back to their same tired insults about being a teacher and other nonsense. You think at some point they'd realize I just breeze past what they say.
-
Again- why do you have to label right away? I've said numerous times here that Kamala ran a crummy campaign and blew it. And I wouldn't have said the same thing because I said in 2020 the only reason Trump lost was COVID happened.
-
It's fair to point out that in most cases incumbents around the world lost elections. It's also fair a lot of that is due to blame of COVID fallout. Did that affect the US election? Maybe, maybe not.

They are safe.... Just stop

2 ways to view this: 1.) Either way Trump won so it doesn't necessarily matter the margin of victory. 2.) The fact that it is not as overwhelming as it first appeared might make some Senators and House members who are in no danger of losing a little less willing to go along with the whole "mandate" or crazy train aspects.

Before I just started skipping over his stuff I developed the HT posting cycle. The HT posting cycle: 1.) Get called on something he said 2.) Deny it 3.) Get shown evidence of what he said 4.) Accuse person of being triggered and insult them and/or their manhood 5.) Post some other nonsense trying to pretend like he is a better person than another poster 6.) Return to step 1 It's more fun to just skip past his posts though now and watch how much he brings me up.

Trump picks Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his Department of Health and Human Services secretary
Sean Mooney replied to peenie's topic in The Geek Club
I mean- I'd watch that -
HT is lying in that he thinks I was making fun of him when I asked him if he was autistic. I asked because I was curious based on his posting style. Lying- It's what he does. It's because he desperately wants me to fook him and I won't. He makes up stories then on top of it. Give him another post or two and the story about the DMs will keep changing. What he won't tell you is- it was a conversation between the two of us in private messages. He said something, I said something back. It isn't as if I sent 17 DMs in a row without being prompted. Now he changed it to 17 times in an hour- which isn't true. Give him another post or two and it will be 25 posts in an hour or some other nonsense. I have receipts on the DMs He is a guy who cries about me "following him around on here" when I post about him on the board and yet even though I haven't really talked or engaged with him for like 2 months or so he still has to bring me up. And just to show- I'm done mentioning him here in this thread. He won't be able to stop himself.

I'm kind of honored that all these people I don't talk to on here want to ride my d!ck so much.....I'm not interested, but I'm flattered.

Boy you can't just keep my name out of your mouth can you. Again dude- I won't ##### you no matter how hard you try. And I don't make fun of people who are autistic. I make fun of you because you are autistic AND an azzhole. How long can you go now without bringing me up again? Can you make it to tomorrow?

Vaccines do not cause autism. It is most likely a rise because mediciene has a better handle on what autism is and thus it is diagnosed more often- perhaps too much. Here is an article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5789217/ None of the studies done have shown any link between vaccines and autism. But I guess it shows that man or woman- if a beautiful blonde chick with huge tells you something- people will believe anything

Pew Research Center came out with the results of a poll today about where 18-29 year olds get their news. The results are probably not surprising. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/18/media/news-influencers-social-media-conservative-study/index.html *EDIT* Here is the actual study where they define "news influencers" and everything Highlights: - 40% of that age group get their news from "news influencers" - Of that 40%, 65% said getting their news this way helped shape their understanding of current events and civic issues - News influencers are more conservative with 27% to left leaning 21%. On Facebook it is 39%-13% in favor of right wing news influencers. On Instagram it is 30-25%. - 77% of social media news influencers have no past or present affiliation with a news organization. Ones that did were found less likely to have a political lean but when they linked news stories they were likely to post from right wing news sources. - 63% of news influencers were men. 30% identify as women. (I guess the last 7% are unicorns or something). - Tik Tok is the only social media site where they found liberals outnumbers conservatives. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Make of this what you will but for me there are some issues with this all. Firstly, news organizations have editorial and standards policies. They work to get news stories correct (regardless of what side of the political aisle you are on) and will issue retractions and mea culpas when it turns out they reported something incorrectly. For news influencers they don't have that. They are less likely to backtrack on something and instead will double down onto it or just outright ignore it. However, at that point the story is the story and people won't second see the reality. Additionally- the news influencers blend fact with opinion. Too often when people discuss media bias they focus on left vs right and ignore that a place can be left or right yet be factually accurate. But for influencers they take small snippets of things and craft together carefully edited think pieces that spin lies and then make them easily consumable to people on the go. 30 seconds doesn't allow you to go in depth on something. So what we get are not just people potentially getting incorrect news, they may also be shaping opinions of their own based off the manipulation of someone putting out that incorrect news. And from there it becomes more and more pronounced. And the real problem here is- since so much of this seems to be coming from the right- the way to fight back against it will be more and more people on the left elevating their own edited commentaries as fact into the political spectrum. And then the pushback will be more people from the right doing it. And so on and so forth. So we will have people all across the country pulling their political ideologies from other people's ideologies more and more in a vacuum from the rest of the world AND not necessarily rooted in the reality of the situation. Essentially we will have matching echo chambers over running political discourse even more than we already have. You think it's crazy now- give it 10-15 more years like this.

Man you could not have missed the point anymore even if you tried to. Also, what critical thinking skills go into "Hey I like this person on X. I'm going to like their posts and click play." Lastly, your second sentence proves my point. People aren't going to using multiple sources or critical thinking skills. They are finding things that reinforce what they want to believe already. Social media creates algorithms for what we should watch based on our own curation. You aren't getting the opposing point of view. This isn't like days of old where you grabbed a local newspaper, or a national newspaper like The Los Angeles Times or New York Times, or hell the USA Today and read all the stories over a cup of coffee or while taking a dump. Social media news is like if I got the paper one day and only read the sports section. The next day the paper came and it was all sports. In that paper I just read NFL news and the next day the paper was just NFL sports news. Like this should worry people. Home schooling and school choice isn't going to stem that. In fact, it has little to nothing to do with it. And the other reason it should worry people is what I said- if one side does it, the other side will as well. And then it will be a battle to flood the market with as much one-sided content as possible.

Mother arrested for letting child walk to the store
Sean Mooney replied to Strike's topic in The Geek Club
What a weird story. It doesn't go into it but is there some law on the books in Georgia that would indicate about leaving a kid home alone below a certain age? There are a lot of things that places like CYS and that can get involved, but man this feels like a big overreach by the police barring anything on the books law wise. -
But they are here now and people are still complaining. Perhaps some people are never happy?
-
A paper is supposed to present things from all sides. Are we arguing now they are not? I hope more people can come in to scold.

It's not "them." It's a guest essay from a person who writes for another website. The NYT- hell every paper in America- will feature syndicated columns or independent writers on a per diem type base.
