  • There absolutely was a cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo. That is the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is. It wasn't on any table or in any thanksgiving decoration in my childhood, it isn't a popular thing to exist in media, it was an obscure item that was a main part of an underwear logo.

    Anyone that says differently is objectively wrong. I don't know why the logo changed and why besides a patent entry even the company itself denies it. I don't really care if this is an alternate earth or aliens or time travellers or an entirely natural quirk of existing in a quantum universe, but I know for an absolute fact the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is is because of my underwear, and not because my dick is coincidentally called the horn of plenty.

  • Its genuinely not. Its a practice of multiple 'churches' like scientologists and some sects of Mormonism.

    Edit: For evidence see Leah remni's multiple lawsuits podcasts books, etc. its a real tactic absolutely in use right now if you manage to piss off the wrong people.

  • No, I want them to say rapists, or sexual assaulters. Not some men or most men or whatever bigoted excuse they have.

    They have a problem with the actions, not the gender of the people that specifically victimized them.

    Its not about the oppression dynamics of shit, it's about not prejudging people based on immutable characteristics. Period.

  • Again, if we're going to include any single type of incident over the life of a person, and then start to discriminate on the common perpetrator, you end up with bigotry regardless of that incident Or intent.

    Its not 'not all men' it's 'not even a third of men.' more black people as a percentage of total black people have assaulted someone than the percentage of men that have sexually assaulted someone, so we should look into profiling black people for violence and work to correct the systemic issues that causes black people to be violent, right?

    There's a right way to go about solving the problems you're discussing, and they are very real problems, but becoming a pathetic bigot is not the way to go.

    Victimization does not give you the right of discrimination based on immutable characteristics, and you are objectively a bad person if you think otherwise. There aren't any valid exceptions to this, and accepting this behavior leads to absolute pieces of shit like jk Rowling.

  • That's nice and all, but given most men don't sexually assault people it's a little like treating all women as cheaters because you got cheated on, or all black people as thieves because you had an unfortunate encounter.

    Sexism is sexism regardless of how you frame it.

  • Wildfires? Seems more like the barbarians set the fire themselves to get attention. Its God's will then if they spread and really shouldn't be fought. Heck I'm pretty sure Hamas should shoot any un backed aid destined for Israel because it's clear they brought this on themselves and are too dangerous to have aid. Really they can just get themselves out of this situation by just burning to death so why are they even complaining?

  • There's 9 billion people and 80% of them are on the internet. Anything you want to imagine is happening in large numbers on the internet, and if you search hard enough you'll find it.

    Confirmation bias is indeed a problem, but that's all this problem is. Don't go looking for rape roleplay if you don't want that.

  • No you dont understand, affecting 12% of exports representing a total of 8% of their gdp will totally bring down chayna and make them pay for illegally seducing capitalists into removing manufacturing from the US in search of destroying socialism. It'll be the end of chaaiiiina this time.

  • When did academic journals just start publishing nonsense? When did conspiracy theories like a shadow cabal of evil people that record the rich and powerful abusing children become obvious reality? When did literally hundreds of government officials state UFOs are real, they're not human, and there's a good chance they're not natural phenomena?

    Science only has trust if you can trust those with the means to verify the work, do actually verify the work. The reproducibility crisis in all scientific fields was at a peak before LLMs were on every single phone; now there no such thing as trustworthy peer reviewed research that can be reproduced, even if the money was there to test everything that was published.

    Tl;Dr the entire scientific world lost credibility and a whole lot of conspiracies were proven real as more CIA docs got declassified. Anything might be true at this point.

  • You'd need a language everyone recognizes no matter what their primary language is, and one that anyone could get a translation for should they run it through any given translation app...

    Sindarin fits all the parameters thanks to Peter Jackson's contributions to spreading the language to every single major region.

  • Most conspiracy theories have at least some truth, with the rest being assumptions based on things proven true. Is Jeffery Epstein an agent of a shadowy super organization that spent decades collecting evidence of rich and powerful men abusing children to keep them under control?

    Maybe. Parts of that are undeniably true, and the rest of that also happened separately(see finders cult). You'd be a conspiracy theorist to combine the two though, especially if you were to present this information in 2003, despite both things still being true then.

    As far as your actual point; whistle blower have "committed suicide" by shooting themselves twice in the back of the head, dislocating their joints, and shoving themselves post mortem into a duffle bag in a ny apartment. (See CIA whistle blowers, NYPD whistleblowers.) Its not crazy to assume someone that took on someone powerful was killed and was made to look suicidal, that's literally something that has happened thousands of times in the last 5 decades. As to why, it's easier. It stops official investigations. Its over with and must people will assume it is true and anyone that questions it will be a crazy conspiracy theorist.
