Yup, people are underestimating the threat of these kinds of conspiracies thinking only dumb people fall for them. I’m sure if challenged, that engineer would think you’re too dumb to understand his new views.

No, that’s something you learn at school. It’s not something you’re born with.

That’s a really simplistic take. He’s an intelligent man but he’s fallen into an echo chamber of nonsense, it’s easy to say that only dumb as shit people are radicalised but just look around, that’s bullshit.

I don’t understand how so many people would VOTE for someone who reliable falls for and promotes so very many obvious conspiracies.

They don’t think it’s conspiracies though, my brother has recently fallen down this hole and he’s fully convinced that all the papers are complete lies, TV news is just fiction, and he knows what’s really going on. In this world millions of kids are being sold to hollywood sex rings and Biden is covering it up, and they’re terrified that their kids will be next. They believe everything he says.

While this is an interesting article, I feel like in the current state of twitter Alt right accounts are promoted whatever you like. When I was on it I followed feminist type pages, local news, some left wing comedians, I was still frequently offered Andrew Tate and the like.

Awful woman

My local nextdoor has an issue with non white people in vans. Like normal builders eating their lunch and Sharon down the road is posting “Anyone know why this man is here? Stayed there for 45 minutes, very suspicious, might be stealing dogs”.

Why are you doing 7 hours of homework as an adult?

While I see the good bits of Proportional Representation, it does give extremism a foot in the door. Remember this is the voting pattern in a FPTP system, one of the tabloids even encouraged reform voters to switch to the Tories because of tactical voting. Changing the voting system gives these far right anti human rights parties a much better chance.

I’ve mentioned this before but I worked at a zoo and we provided all kinds of plants to primates that were medicinal for just this reason, they’re very clever and often treat their illnesses before the keepers even know they’re sick. Not just great apes either, capuchins and lemurs that aren’t nearly as bright do it too.

Factor? It’s fresh made ready meals, basically like meal prep but someone else does the prepping. Then you just heat it up. You could each choose your own meals.

Or tbf, you could do meal prep on the weekends. One person takes the kid for a walk and the other just cooks for an hour or two and puts everything in the freezer.

I’m always surprised by governments who keep the same leader for a long time. In the UK we got 3 in a year once, none of them do a full term, or not for a long while.

Zoos have known this for a long while, this study from London zoo went into it in 2006, and look at the sources going back into the 90’s.

It’s cool that this new study has come out, but this isn’t news really.

She tried calling the dog, then used an electric collar, and NOTHING worked?? Those are two things that are known not to work, she hasnt even made a tiny attempt to train the dog, then got annoyed when a hunting dog, specifically a bird dog, wasn’t safe around birds.

So what you’re telling me is she’s incredibly stupid as well as evil?

I used to work with a blind guy, when everyone else did sex ed at school they used to put him in a seperate room to do worksheets as they assumed he wouldn’t need it.

His two kids kinda disproved that one!

My house only has a bath, no shower, not had one for 15 years outside of hotels (and even then I request a bath if possible).

Cost of living varies too though, in many countries that amount would let you live well.

The school suspended a dying kid?? Like wtf? I hope someone/everyone working at that school is going to prison.

You definitely could. Theres also these hammocky type beds. They look too small for my cats but don’t stick out from the wall very far and if you’re DIYing it then you could make them bigger.

You can get some premade pieces to add to this, I have one of these which they use to climb up and as a scratching post, and this bed which acts as a resting point along with my standard shelves. Neither were very expensive.
