Just don't fall into the trap of thinking that power-tools are any exception to the issue. If anything, they're worse about it.

Triangulation. It arrives at different locations at different times. Enough points gives you direction and distance.

Nomenclature's Sky... well shit, you can just go around naming things if you like.

Worst part about looking for Pink, Purple or less-common-colored tools is that almost all will tout how light-weight/small they are, and the reviews will bear out that they may be slightly lighter or smaller than other tools, but also much, much weaker, because the pandering has taken precedence over the notion of a useful tool.

You showed no such thing. No such thing was remotely claimed in that interview.

Meanwhile, you're asking me to prove a negative, while offering no evidence to support your own position besides the fact that yourself and apparently one other commenter here regard The Daily Show as a credible news source, or expect me to believe such. I'm not buying it, and I'm done engaging with your non-sense.

I'm not the one spouting bunk conspiracy theories about how the wrong guest on The Daily Show will hinder society or discredit more decent guests. Calling those slightly more respectable people out on their bullshit is the point of inviting them on the show alongside the overt crackpots in the first place.

No, it was about whether they should do so and whether those idiots that do such exist in sufficient numbers to be a hindrance to society. The only evidence I've seen of those idiots numbers existing in even the low single digits are right here in this thread.

Also, Flanz inclued themselves in that reference. Are you really so bad at reading comprehension?

Fun thing about fact-checking YOUR JOKES at the guests' expense, is that they can say whatever bullshit they want, and the audience knows the guest isn't in on, doesn't get the joke. Are you trying to present yourself as clueless enough to garner a guest spot?

You're missing the point. The less serious guests like this jackass discredit those more serious guests. Without him, people are more likely to get confused and start taking the show more seriously, like you apparently have.

Your personal obliviousness is not indicative of a trend among the general public. Pull your head out of your ass. We have to shift the overton window back to where bigotted idiots look like bigotted idiots, and you don't do that by platforming them exclusively alongside respectable people, academics, scientists, whatever.

Ideally, we wouldn't be platforming bigotted idiots at all, and people like you wouldn't confuse the show making fun of conspiracy theory whackjobs for a serious news source, but here we are.

There are not enough such people getting their news from The Daily Show to matter, no way, no how, and whether I would personally engage with them on an individual level was not what I was getting at; I was referring to engagement and mitigation on a societal level, ie dumbing-down The Daily Show or turning it into a more serious show, neither of which would work anyways - the idiots would find other shows to reinforce their delusions. Pretending there are enough people to make that reasonable is an absurdly stupid proposition. Are you convinced most of the MAGA crowd get's all their news from The Daily Show or something?

Sure kid, large numbers of people worth engaging, accomodating, or mitigating are using The Daily Show as their exclusive source of news. Next you'll tell me Oprah is a good person.

EDIT: added "large numbers", for clarity.

I would call your #2 accomodating ... I think of kindness as more proactive and unsolicited.

As for #1, if I don't care enough to lie to make you happy, then I'm definitely going to come across as un-kind(which I would prefer, as people exploit kindness, but...). For an example, it costs me nothing to use someone's pro-nouns when I can remember them, no matter how batshit I may think a specific identity is(ie: "superstraights"?).

Okay, who am I kidding? "Superstraights" are right at the bottom of list, next to Nazis, when it comes to "people whose bullshit I will humor and not call out", but I can't be bothered with a better example at the moment.

They got a baby. They dumped them on others when they outgrew that stage. There's a LOT of blame to go around.
