Stop weather data collection in one part of the planet. That’ll stop the global warming believers. /s

Crops grow faster if you decree the weather is perfect. The best weather.

No longer letting my family member rants about [insert today’s Russian propaganda] go unchallenged.

• Crime is going up. Oh no, can you show me a chart with a source? Can’t be just something you find on the internet (they’re always ranting that you can’t trust the internet).
• You can’t trust the weather reports. They’re just using the internet to make all that stuff up. Explain how the internet allows for a 100 fold increase in sensors that can report back to a centralized meteorology facility for number crunching
• Ukraine shot first Explain a timeline of the Ukraine war
• Moon landing was faked. (I actually like this argument the best because it’s been so thoroughly debunked)

The religious fruitcakes will never get the hint that their god is trying to tell them something.

Maybe Europe will be able to pick up some of the slack. I’m hoping in 20 years we get to wonder why there’s a four year blip where America stopped winning awards for research that helps humanity.

Family Guy Skin Color Chart or Family Guy Race Card refers to a series of memes using an exploitable screenshot from Family Guy showing a toll booth worker holding a “skin tone chart” up to Peter Griffin, who is wearing a fez hat, to determine if he’s white enough to pass through to the United States. The episode aired in March 2013 and the scene became the subject of memes as early as 2014, typically with users photoshopping the words on the skin tone card to change the context. The meme is often used as a reaction image on sites like Twitter to criticize perceived forms of racism.

It’s not idiocy if none of their voters won’t fact check, and if the ad was against a political opponent not the athlete specifically. Bonus points if it’s a Republican judge evaluating the defamation claim.

They’re not idiots. They’re making the reasonable gamble that no matter what happens, they and their families will end up on top.
