lol Kraken you right. I was going to chime in with the same thing but
I realize it's pointless.
But I question whether Demon lied. Lie does imply intention and while he does show he would lie, like discounting your 1st person account as lies to fit his false narrativbe (which pretty much makes him an asshole), I think something like the FDA approval may just had been ignorance.
Many posters haves shown to be broadly uneducated when it comes to COVID, treatments, cases, vaccines, I could keep going, so it wouldn't be a stretch to figure he just didn't know. Not at all.
When it threatens the political narrative, then ignorance is bliss for many. Demon is just too hung up politically. I once corrected him on a simple virus fact and his response was that I was liberal and he called me some name.
Rational discussion is not in the cards for some of these posters. This topic sometimes involves interpreting statistics, and you can see that is lost on nearly everyone as so many just get it wrong. Because of that they are so easily fooled by the propaganda they watch and read.
SBR is becoming a haven for the spread of mis and dis infromation. It's everywhere, some of it so simple, yet still being spread. Seems pointless to combat it, and truthfully it reflects why some of us take money out of their pockets each year betting sports, they can't discern.
It's so bad that some posters will somehow get a political or vaccine stance from me out of this post, when I offered not even a hint of how I lean on those issues. If a fact doesn't line up with their baseless political narrative, they resort to the childish tactics.
Let them revel in ignorance Kraken, the kinds of things they are posting when they can't stand the heat is deplorable... name calling, constantly on the defensive, acting suprised or empowered when someone gets sick, as if it wasn't expected.
They want absolutes when it fits their cause, and grey areas when it doesn't. It used to be that things like news organizations would get some facts wrong in order to get the story out first, to be first on the scene. Now the people are fooled and what they think is news is actually propaganda that is in such a hurry to get propagandize that they dont' just get the story wrong, they completely miss the facts of the original story, they fill in their own facts to fit their discussion.
That's bled down into people and how they operate, especially here at SBR. There is no thinking for themselves, they are dominated by the beliefs of others.
One problem is these posters have been corrected yet show up spouting the same incorrect nonsense in different threads.
Again, we can see why some of us take money straight out of their pockets while betting sports, they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.
Exploit it while you can Krackles, take their money, I have already this football season. I hope all is well with you.
