Published in 2016, this brilliant comic by artist Joe Dator somehow feels even more timely in 2023. #art
@Sheril works on so many levels.
@Sheril Oooooo……sends shivers down my spine….
@Sheril Hahahahahaha now I'm sad
@Sheril the age of immaturity ha
@Sheril evergreen unfortunately
@Sheril @mmasnick eh, it was supposed to be in the form of a question anyway, so no biggie.
@Sheril Yup. Tedros on one side saying pandemic is still emergency, CDC on the other saying we need to protect vulnerable now more than ever, Biden in the middle yelling over them that the emergency is over without a fact to back.
@Sheril Hate to say it, but it is just possible that sometimes I have gotten the points by shouting out the incorrect answer. Sigh.
@Sheril isn’t this the basic premise of Netflix’s new game show “Bullsh*t”?
@Sheril ngl I read it as “farts don’t matter”.
@Sheril People need to learn how to use the internet and work with informations.
@Sheril
Yes we are indeedly living in shoutier times!
@Sheril … sigh is not a big enough word …
@Sheril it hurts so much that it's fun
@Sheril “The best lack all conviction while the worst are filled with a passionate intensity.”

@Sheril

I'm just going to put #ChatGPT and #ChatGPTSearches against this because this is the future of searching things on the Web with the confident BS generator machine.

@Sheril Even Kevin? Wow, it’s worse than I ever imagined.
@Sheril So much of life for women is exactly THIS.
@Sheril welcome to 21st century where facts don't matter but your feelings does.
@Sheril
This is how it has always been.
One only needs to spend a little time inside a classroom in Anywhere, USA.
America has been GROOMING WM to expect privilege over the competence and hard work of everybody else forever.
And now those same WM are so grossly INcompetent, nobody wants to hire (or fck) them, and they're pissed. So pissed they want to dominate others, by force if necessary.

@Sheril

Spot on in fact… and getting worse.

@Sheril
This IS America at it’s stupidest.
@Sheril the fast talking Gish Gallop style also works, especially when you add the button of “Facts don’t care about your feelings,” which then rhetorically seems to contextualize everything they said as a fact that is only solidified by your inability to offer a rebuttal to 10 non-sequiturs hosed at you in 20 seconds.
@Sheril Since Kevin then explained your answer to you, he gets the point.
@Sheril
"Well, as a matter of facts… ok nevermind."
