@Tfmonkey Also, I had to look up the year over year data, because the article states that it was still "more than last year."

This does not look like it will be breaking any records this year.

You are such a conspiracy theorist @Tfmonkey because you doubt the reports that we are having a bumper crop this fall. Why would anyone trust a talking monkey online over the word of the experts who know better?

Oh. Oh wait. It looks like we are not having a bumper crop this year. Oh. It is smaller than expected. NO ONE COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING!

@furgar Yes, the telephone game is a great way to keep track of historical accounts. There is no way any details could be incorrect over the years.

Though I am betting this historical "fact" was concocted rather recently instead of being 100s of years old.

@spectre I cannot sign off on this, since they will probably enjoy it. After all, they are Germans.

@LouisConde Or maybe oral history is one of the least reliable forms of recording history, given how unreliable the human memory is even if there is no intent to slant the information. But no, playing the telephone game over 100s of years is just as valid and reliable as written records that are able to remain unchanged and allows historians to make evaluations with the exact same set of data.

And this does not account for Twitter faggotry where people just make up "facts."

If Germans start having to ration power and heating, we should all agree these faggots should be the first on the list to have no electricity and heat in their homes. Don't worry, their chuckles and smugness will keep them nice and warm.

@dave "Other people should live the exact same way I live! I like living in a large city, so it must be the ideal way for everyone else to live!"

People live in remote areas for a variety of reasons, whether it be for making the food this bugman eats, procures the resources this bugman directly or indirectly uses. Or in some cases, they live there because they want to avoid people exactly like Adam.

Perfect example of how "living paycheck to paycheck" can be the result of idiotic decisions. I am sure that they "needed" to have a new car. In this case 2 of them that were electric. While I am sure they thought that their purchase of a vehicle that requires strip mining for rare earth metals was "good for the environment," I bet they also thought they would save money by not having to buy gas.

I do not have sympathy for those who make such poor decisions.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Weird speculation on my part, but it works as a sort of "revenge" fantasy, only instead of besting some guys in sports after years of toil and perseverance, you get a girl (or girls) who you can easily domineer due to the natural physical advantage men get after puberty.

I have no idea what this source material is, but my guess is all the former bullies are into this guy now, so he gets a harem. That also works for a triumphant comeback story, perhaps.

@WashedOutGundamPilot "I don't need your child support" is not something any man should ever trust. You are hoping that she is either not lying or not going to change her mind. She has every incentive to sue for child support, as she has the US government behind her in fleecing you. I am sure the judge would not admit a Tinder profile as evidence for why you are not going to be in baby jail for 18 years.

Reddit sucks and will continue to suck. Believe nothing that has 10K or more upvotes to be organic. It is absolutely astroturfed and manipulated to the core.

I saw r/politics go from pro-Bernie and anti-Hillary to full on Hilldawg lovers the moment she got the nomination. I recall that ShareBlue literally bought out that sub, so it should be no surprise that we saw the ultimate results.

In short, Reddit sucks ass and is full of fraudulence and homosexuality.

I bring up John Thompson because he checks all the boxes for the shills to circle the wagons. He is a black Democrat, which is one of the sacred cows in more than one way for their side. Keep in mind that George Floyd was in the same area and had glowing praise in spite of the fact that he was also no one worthy of praise. What a difference it makes to have shills working behind the scenes to keep the narrative in check!

Covering for him does not need to be denial or "fact checking," but also in the form of memory-holing and silencing any discussion. I would not be surprised if that did happen with him already on the more mainline subreddits. But even so, he is certainly not a politician who is on the national radar at this time. Probably won't ever be either, because he is so bad that his own party disowned him.

What I have concluded is that the full scale shilling only takes place on the most prominent parts of the website. The politics, science, and other normie subreddits that have millions (or allegedly millions) of subscribers get the full court press of shilling and mod abuse. So a politician like John Thompson will be absolutely berated when there is organic discussion taking place, but if he ever had national prominence, there would be all the stops pulled to cover for him.

They actually called him out for being a piece of shit. And this was not some bastion of right wing politics, it was a local subreddit for a city in Minnesota. Almost all of them have left wingers, no matter the state or region.

This got me thinking. Yes, I am well aware of the shilling and fakery on the site, but it was quite a stark difference to see these opinions be on display, as anything that goes against the Democrat party gets snuffed out with downvotes and mod fuckery.
