  • Why aren't more people re-examining past conspiracies as trust in mainstream media declines over Gaza coverage?

    Jump

  • Starting around 38:30 in the podcast

    Dan Friesen: So the argument is that the CIA was trying to recruit these hijackers and make them into informants. And that is a theory. It is not established. It is not proven. But they start to just treat it as if they have proven it.

    Mark Rossini: You have the CIA then following one man and then two men all over the planet and then eventually even to America, right? Landing in Los Angeles, California, and you don't tell the FBI.

    Tucker Carlson: But why would the CIA want to hide the highly relevant and potentially dangerous fact that two known al-Qaeda terrorists had just landed in California? According to a recently released court filing, former White House counterterrorism star Richard Clark told government investigators that the quote: "CIA was running a false flag operation to recruit the hijackers."

    Richard Clark: When Cofer Black became the head of the counterterrorism center at CIA, he was aghast that they had no sources in Al-Qaeda. So he told me, I'm going to try to get sources in Al-Qaeda. I can understand them possibly saying we need to develop sources inside Al-Qaeda. When we do that, we can't tell anybody about it.

    Dan Friesen: So it's important to pay attention to the way that information is used by people like Tucker and notice the little tweaks that they make in order to push their narratives. In this case, Tucker is setting up his clip of Richard Clark, and he says that Clark revealed that the CIA was engaged in a false flag to recruit these hijackers.

    Then he plays the clip of Clark that does not say that. But instead is Clark saying that he could understand the intelligence folks trying to secretly turn the future hijackers into informants. He wasn't saying that the CIA was doing this, but he understood how it was possible.

    Yeah, one of the conspiracy theorists' main tricks is equating proving that something is possible with proving that it's true. Richard Clark saying that it's possible that the CIA was trying to recruit the hijackers as informants is not the same thing as him saying that is what happened. But Tucker knows that to his audience, it is the same.

    I don't know man, maybe you need to work on your media literacy a little more. Or maybe just as a rule, you shouldn't be taking anything Tucker Carlson says seriously.

  • Alright, cool. So what did Tucker Carlson say that you thought was so interesting?

    And I guess follow up question: was it all just government propaganda? Because I doubt he ever debunked any propaganda about Palestine.

    Jump

  • What are you talking about? Why would something be government propaganda just because you can't find mentions of Gaza or Palestine? It's a podcast mostly about Alex Jones, not a news agency. Are you always like this?

  • 1092: Tucker, The Man And His 9/11 Documentary

    The guys at Knowledge Fight went over the first part of the documentary, and my takeaway was there's nothing new, the primary person being interviewed is a well known liar, and there's a lot dishonest claims being made and not a lot of evidence being given.

    So what exactly do you think is so interesting about Tucker Carlson's series? What new things did you learn about 9/11?

  • When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No?

  • How does it work with someone like Taylor Swift, who According to Forbes, Swift is the first musician to reach 10-figure status solely based on songwriting and performances rather than brand deals, makeup lines, or business ventures?

    You can argue they should be more charitable, but that really can't be required. You could also say taxes should be higher past a certain point, but they currently aren't and that's not any individual's fault.

    Also, I'm using Taylor swift as an example, but I mean more generally a person that captures worldwide attention for their art.

  • Poor job fit

  • I'm pretty sure the message behind All in all, it's just another brick in the wall isn't that every individual brick is incredibly special and important to the entire structure and that even one missing brick would jeopardize the whole thing.

  • Poor job fit

    Jump

  • Is one brick not only as strong as the one next to it?

    Obviously not, you can break one brick in a wall without taking the whole wall down.

  • Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groups

    Jump

  • Looking at healthline.com (I don't know if they're actually reputable, but we're just looking at servings and prices, so why not) we see the pea protein powders cost between $0.47-$2.84 per 28 grams (which is about one serving for the 3 powders I looked at) and whey protein powders cost between $0.78-$7.27 per serving.

    One of the websites they link sells both a protein and whey option, both at the same price. I'm not sure that cost is really a factor for deciding between the two.

    To add to the second part, it's in one of the first settlements you visit after the tutorial and has a short quest where you rescue the kidnapped sheriff and potentially find a new one to help keep the town safe. It's probably pretty memorable because a lot of people would have gotten to it, and there's a giant roller coaster in the background that you can climb up and walk along.

  • US downtowns are covered with car parking

    Jump

  • Mandatory parking minimums will just incentivize driving and make biking even worse, even if you also install some bike parking near the streets. It'll make all buildings more expensive because they'll need double the land so they can have the off-street parking you want, everything will be spaced further apart because half the land is dedicated to parking, and inevitably the streets will become more car friendly because everyone is driving anyway, might as well try to get the drivers where they want quickly and efficiently.

  • How To Join ICE

    Jump

  • The ads open with video of each metro’s familiar skyline and the narrator’s voice announcing, for example, “Attention, Miami law enforcement.” Beyond that, the spots are identical, inviting officers to “join ICE and help us catch the worst of the worst. Drug traffickers. Gang members. Predators,” according to a review of the ads on the ad-tracking service AdImpact.

    The 30-second spots began running in mid-September in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Boston; Chicago; Denver; New York; Philadelphia; Sacramento, California; Seattle; and Washington, D.C. Adding to the list a week ago: Atlanta; Dallas; El Paso, Texas; Houston; Miami; Salt Lake City; and San Antonio.

    As of Monday, total spending on the ads had topped $6.5 million, with the most spent since mid-September being $853,745 in the Seattle area. However, Atlanta saw the most in the past week, more than $947,000, according to AdImpact.

  • Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

  • Cool, good to know there are states where you're at least partly right.

    even on þe freeway where you’re not crossing into oncoming lanes

    Doesn't really work with

    Subd. 2a.Increased speed limit when passing.

    Notwithstanding subdivision 2, the speed limit is increased by ten miles per hour over the posted speed limit when the driver:

    (1) is on a two-lane highway having one lane for each direction of travel;

    (2) is on a highway with a posted speed limit that is equal to or higher than 55 miles per hour;

    (3) is overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction of travel; and

    (4) meets the requirements in section 169.18.

    where you're allowed to speed only when crossing into oncoming traffic.

  • Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

    Jump

  • Then name one of them. If you're too lazy to go and look at the laws for that state, I can do it for you if you want, but you need to give even a single state of where you think you're allowed to ignore the speed limit while passing someone. Here, I'll give you an example:

    Alabama on page 64: On two-lane roads with traffic moving in both directions, you may pass traffic on the left if the pass can be completed safely without exceeding the speed limit.

    Most states won't explicitly state that you aren't allowed to speed while passing, but they definitely won't tell you that speeding is fine.
