When confronted with any questions that make people evaluate their dissonance people will often fall back on "I don't know" and refuse to engage information that contradicts their beliefs. If they do engage at all it may come in the form of circular logic, "Things are this way because they just are".

It can basically become a parent getting exasperated trying to explain why the sky is blue to a kid when they don't really know themselves.

The disconnect is often that their worldview is they are "right" and they just know that they are, and trying to prove otherwise kinda circles back on the sky argument. Saying that they are wrong is like telling them the sky is neon yellow, they know you're wrong in their mind.

So yeah I'm not sure how to get through to that other than people being social and usually abandoning ideas if they conflict with everyone around them and offer no options for people to engage with them, but that can be undone fast with an echo chamber of false information or really anything that reinforces their beliefs.

Go to your attorney general's website and fill out a form for a complaint. Check the box says you don't mind getting the news involved and detail everything you've done so far that hasn't worked.

The one in Panama actually makes sense because it is near the rainforest and acting as a buffer against them. These facilities only work if they are near the flies, you can't use sterilized flies unless there is a population of flies to use them on.

When you put that together this almost looks like they are signaling plans to abandon support for the Panama facility and allow them to spread through all of South America up into Mexico.

Public transportation is non existent in a lot of the US and the cost of taking a cab is higher than a car payment. We have sprawling cities where if you don't want to work a commute that would be 3+ hours each way you are precluded from most jobs and you better have 3-6 months of money saved to job search in your area at that point.

Millions of people are stuck in places where if you don't have a car you're going not going to finding much work or working a living wage.

So when they turn to the camera guy at the end they repeatedly keep saying you're not allowed to record due to FBI rights. That is something I've never heard before.

Unless they are trying to refer to something from the Patriot act the FBI has the same rights as everyone else.

I got a few.

N64 command and conquer I can still hear the commando blowing up logo and saying that was left handed.

Ocarina of Time

Skies of Arcadia

And kotor, but for some reason I remember the pazak mini game more than anything else.

It's a 7. 7 and a half.

The backend on YouTube is pretty much designed to encourage skub (ragebait/"engagement"). Having comments that are incendiary is good for the video's performance.

Does that make it the perfect breeding ground for astroturfing and pushing misinformation? Probably. Bad actors can basically use it as a cheap form of advertising and pushing ideas that benefit them. Even the creator of the video if it was a video that has a completely opposite viewpoint of those comments still stands to benefit from having them because that increases engagement and their revenue.

So I guess my point is is that YouTube has a lot of problems and there is a multitude of reasons why comments like that have a home there and motives for them.

Marmot

By getting his nails done in the context they were referring to the crucifixion.

Them:" I saw someone once who spoke a different language than me once. What is that if not GLOBALISM?"

Depends on which pope you are talking about. One of them got allied planes in his sights to get shot down.

I have selected premium several times and then the tank stopped filling 30¢ early and my receipt said regular despite selecting premium when filling up my moped. I think the machines try to account for the gas type difference sometimes or maybe the pumps I was using were a bit dodgy.

If the US gets poor enough can a fast food combo cost less than an hour of working an assembly line?

Or if China sells a product at half the cost or less of getting it elsewhere

So many gun laws exist today because Black Panthers doing cop watch. Basically they were across the street from police watching them during traffic stops with their guns out and it lead to a lot less people getting killed or mistreated during traffic stops. That's kind of a simplified history of it.

In my area police made some policies that lasted for more than a decade about not patrolling a certain area and then needing to respond with a shitton of officers if there's more than 2 people involved in a "potentially volatile situation" due to a bunch of people shaking a cop car and telling them to f off 20 years ago.

So blasting all quasi legal unmarked cops/ice isn't realistic or necessarily what most 2A people advocate there's plenty of history and merit in letting them know that people can potentially fight back, probably easier than you think to scare them considering a lot of the modern training is fear based

I think that should count the same

I always thought it was a major fuck you to veterans that the big state funded fireworks display where I live is launched like 10 feet from the veterans hospital where they have people living there and being treated for PTSD.

Also I worked second shift so driving home through low visibility "fog" a few hours after everyone stops shooting them off feels eerie when you live in a city that doesn't get fog. That's probably not good for breathing, but I don't really know about just kind of being anecdotal

It's still deflective. Saying someone else called these events a war crime is distancing their news agency from calling it that even as they spell out details of an event that's a war crime
