Huh? Privacy doesn‘t seem to be one of the best selling features, is it? Well, yes, you don‘t have to use your real name, but someone posted an article today, that not even private messages here are private.

I switched to board games instead! There are so incredibly well designed and immersive board games now, that also can be played solo! Marvel Champions, Spirit Island, Arkham Horror The Card Game, just to name a few…

To the people who are wise in the way of the maths! What are we looking at here? I always wonder if there‘s a nice easter egg to find or is it just some random math stuff?

Well, it highly depends on how hard we try to stop climate change.

If you want a serious answer, read the IPCC report.

No, it’s not. You’re not an enlightened tolerant and rational human being by claiming both sides are equally at fault.

Just one example: I’d agree with you, if both sides would make equally as many false claims. But that’s not the case..

It’s not “Only your side is bad and my side is good”. There ARE liars on both sides. But that shouldn’t lead to the conclusion that both sides are telling equally as much lies.

Why is that so important? Because you would totally miss out on the rhetorical tactics they use to push their agenda. Take Trump’s caravan, Hunter’s laptop, false election claims. All of them were lies, but had a massive impact. Show me equally as bad examples the Democrats use to push their narrative.

Also, you can check, if you are open minded or not with the help of something called falsifiability. Ask yourself:

1. What kind of proof would change my mind about this?
2. Is there substantial proof?
3. (Don’t) change your mind.

Because the Republicans are aggressively pushing this tribal culture war and it never should get normalized. They deserve to get called out on it.

When I had to choose I thought .world means, it‘s the central, most important place to be. Didn‘t know what the other abbreviations meant. Didn‘t care.

And let‘s not forget that the claim, that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, was a lie.

And lets not forget that world leaders and the “free world” were emotionally manipulated by a “nurse”:

The Nayirah testimony was false testimony given before the United States Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990, by a 15-year-old girl who was publicly identified at the time by her first name, Nayirah. The testimony was widely publicized and was cited numerous times by U.S. senators and President George H. W. Bush in their rationale to support Kuwait in the Gulf War.

In 1992, it was revealed that Nayirah’s last name was Al-Ṣabaḥ (Arabic: نيرة الصباح) and that she was the daughter of Saud Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. Furthermore, it was revealed that her testimony was organized as part of the Citizens for a Free Kuwait public relations campaign, which was run by the American public relations firm Hill & Knowlton for the Kuwaiti Government. Following this, al-Sabah’s testimony has come to be regarded as a classic example of modern atrocity propaganda.

In her testimony, Nayirah claimed that after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers take babies out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital, remove the incubators and leave the babies to die. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony)
