Based on what data?

We had an ad that actually said “piracy funds terrorism” here in the UK. Made me laugh my arse off.

I read that as a line from “Down with the Sickness.”

Also, I had the same problem. Solved by good ol’ 1ft.io

Yea, but why wouldn’t they say how much they were charged rather than the range that the photographer can charge?

Do Americans really spell it “check” rather than “cheque”?

Same here

Oh lovely. So it turns out we in the UK are just as dumb as the Americans on this one.

People have always believed in outlandish conspiracies. For example The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was debunked over 100 years ago but still went on to influence the Nazis after that as well as countless other antisemitic groups and conspiracy theories to this day.

Convincing people of something they don’t believe with evidence is almost impossible, as anyone who’s spent time on the internet knows.

So how are these conspiracy groups convincing people without evidence? Simple, they’re not. They’re providing validation for the ideas and general misgivings that certain people already had, as fringe groups have done for generations. It’s just that in the past it happened privately, now it’s taking place in public forums.

Maybe the internet allows dumb ideas to spread faster. But it also lets criticism of those ideas and evidence against them spread at the same speed. The problem is the people who need to hear it will never listen.

TL:DR - Some people have always been stupid and looked for validation of their beliefs, now they do it online instead of IRL as with everything else in life.

Doom really can run on anything.

Maybe not, but I’d wager it’s the most fun

The notification light would also let you know what type of notification it was by colour on my old Samsung Note.

Fairly certain no country is “100% white”.

Lol “Sorry, I can’t come in today, I’m boiling into vapour.”

Pretty much any smartphone can easily crop images. This is very likely fake.

Excellent…

This is quite close to where I live. Fun times.

They use standard 20mm straps, pretty cheap on ebay. I wear my Pinetime every day, great device.
