The gutting of the educational system is part of the far right extremism you’re describing: This is a systematic effort.

Being educated does not make you immune from propaganda (especially if your education was not quality in the first place) but giving everyone a quality education that teaches, among other things, critical thinking, absolutely does make people more resistant to disinformation.

Picard as Xavier? Crazy.

This is what you get when you systematically sabotage and gut the educational system: Crazy idiots.

There’s definitely regulars I recognize, but still plenty more I don’t.

…but the bag said!

Spot Shotter has repeatedly been shown to not only completely miss gunfights but also to have false positives. It’s crazy how many bullshit devices that don’t really work end up getting used by the government.

Voice Stress Analysis is another, even more eggregious example: It is 100% bullshit but police departments all over the place still buy this bullshit and act like it’s not complete quackery that has been thoroughly and completely debunked.

How the fuck is this even possible?

a legal mechanism approved in a 1996 Supreme Court ruling, which allows judges to sentence defendants based on charges for which they were acquitted.

What a shit ruling and yet another example how how incredibly broken the US “justice” system is.

That’s easily something they could do without Gemini

Nazi bar connected to Nazi shit, news at 10.

Can they manage to make Gemini not complete garbage that is wildly unreliable?

Inspect the channels for debris. Hit the RAM contacts and slot with contact cleaner (don’t get any on your skin).

To the United States?

Oh…

Using facts doesn’t seem to work, so yeah, just manipulate these dipshits into not getting themselves (and us) killed.

Big oil strikes again!

Horrific: This will get people killed.

You’re right though, the vast majority of people seem to think it’ll be easy, like going to another state.

Doesn’t matter, as long as companies like BP, Chevron, et al can keep extracting that value! They would personally strangle your grandma if they thought it would make them more money.
