Speaking of bad ideas. Unbelievable actually. Who knew that illegally entering a country could be so lucrative. I wonder if these payments go through how that will affect the flow of people wanting to come in illegally? That of course is a trick question for most. Espola?

"This is no Babylon Bee spoof; this is ripped from the pages of the Wall Street Journal.

Though it’s tempting to shake your head in disbelief, read on. Oh, and make sure you shut your slack jaw because things are about to get worse and we don’t want any dribbling.

The Biden Administration is “in talks” with the lawfare crowd at the ACLU to pay illegal aliens about a half a million dollars apiece — $450,000 or $1 million per family — on “behalf of parents and children who say the [U.S.] government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma” during family separation."
"You're gonna need a bigger boat"
 
I would just add that besides the BS and the misinformation, there is a whole of a lot of gaslighting going on which IMO is a significantly different animal.

I guess it depends on how much ground you want "bullshit" to cover. Here's something that i bookmarked at one point that seeks to integrate the internet-driven term gaslighting within the broader conception of bullshit set out in Frankfort's classic piece. Maybe one could say that gaslighting is bullshit taken to a certain extreme. Basically, since bullshit is so prevalent I can argue anything I want and you can argue anything you want. Especially in a digitally constructed space where there are no immediate consquences for being wrong. If there is no arbitrator of what's right or what's wrong it "logically follows" that can be no lies. They argue gaslighting is a form of anti-realism that seeks to weaponize bullshit.

Think I'll buy more Crypto.
 
Check out what's happening to the UK with their gasoline. We're really close to that happening here too because of the growing truck and truck driver shortage too.

Things are really on the knife's edge right now....one more large winter COVID wave pushes it over the top if the supply issues aren't resolved by Thanksgiving.

IKR. Just check out all this bs going around on social media (all posts from dead people by the way).

Meh the world isn't flat but there's a small but vocal segment that actually believes its flat.

Part of the issue with the Science TM is that its experts have gotten so vested in orthodoxy and their own status and they forget there is very little by way of objective truth. The article I posted about the mom and her autistic son is a good example of this. That's why I've argued it's more important for people to think critically than to just believe one side or the other blindly.

Do strawmanning next....I think we'd all appreciate that. :)

Bullshit, calling a blue car, green. Gaslighting, there is no car there.
 
I make it a point to gas up the the AZ/CA border as I head in. On the way out I put in just enough gas to get back to the border where prices are substantially lower.

Compare items you buy in a grocery store in CA vs AZ. Pick the same brands and note the difference in cost.

The DD does team travel a lot to CA. So sometimes they have the girls pick off the menu of some restaurant of what they want. Last time it was Olive Garden. Most entrees are 1-2 bucks more.

All the buck hear, buck there adds up pretty quickly and to be honest hurts those that can least afford it.

I love how facts are now "orthodoxy". I also like how you mention some nonsense story about a mom and her autistic son as evidence that scientists are wrong, and then accuse others of "strawmanning" in the very next sentence. This shows even less self-awareness than when you claimed you understand the lack of self-awareness in elites because you're one of them. Did you fall on your head one too many times while equestrian-ing?

But since you like anecdotal stories so much as scientific "evidence", lets parade through another person's story as expressed on tik tok. I wonder how many memes in her FB feed were also shared by crush? These tik toks are just so funny, but I sure hope a lot of people donated a dollar to her paypal to make up for the fact that she believed the misinformation that the strict constructionist calls "think[ing] critically". Enjoy the pearly gates Amy!

Bullshitting: Coach yells "come on ref...that's not handball...he didn't control the pass and wasn't unnaturally bigger"
Gaslighting: Coach yells "yah blind ref!....he didn't touch it!" when everyone sees he has.

Orthodoxy is the opposite of science.
