I’ll grant America’s been taken over by the Idiocracy, but that level of stupidity is almost as frequently found pretty much anywhere.

Agreed. I don’t know why you’re saying that in response to a conversation regarding the article’s veracity, however.

Outside the “snitch” headline, nowhere do I see that stated - or even implied. I hate right-wing spin as much as any sane person, but I also try to be fair. The article proper didn’t contain a single thing that screamed “bullshit” to me. Maybe the choice of Xitter user quote they inserted, but that’s all.

Oh, I got one, too?!? Yep, that’s definitely Mom!

Okay - that’s obviously bad, but even the Fox News website tells the facts much of the time - they just bury the hell out of them in spin. Outside the obvious “snitch on your neighbors” - which is really pretty mild in terms of spin - what specifically is inaccurate here?

A downvote? Hi, Mom - I didn’t know you were on Lemmy!

Unless I’m expecting to talk to someone, into DND mode it goes straight away. I’ll check on it when I’m in the mood.

But it’s sooo satisfying when your shiny new “slimmer than any other phone before” breaks your prior record for number of skips.

Read the pic before the post title & thought this had something to do with Pennsylvania.

Then you never thought about it - at least not in relation to who was responsible for it. I mean… because who would think that but Microsoft?

GOAT goat.

Sounds like the kind of study a grifter like Trump would approve of.

“The only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked.”

Trump’s tariffs likely contribute significantly to that added cost.
