Trump spent $3 million for a vote recount in Wisconsin's largest county to support his baseless claim of ballot fraud but lost by even more than initially thought

FediNetizen · 2020-11-28T22:53:03+00:00

The difference was really small, like ~120 votes.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-28T19:35:44+00:00

Some of the earlier posts, like suggesting men should be killed so the rest can have harems and this one talking about how brains run better on estrogen especially strike me as TiM lurker shit.

Looks like the OP (/u/Skapunkdh) just deleted this post. The comments are all still there, though. It's interesting to see all his responses, because it reads exactly like you would expect: attacking people that point out how their own behavior plays a part in this.

Lol, the top comment was removed and one of the replies called it before it happened.

If you guys ever want to see what deleted comments say, just replace the 'r' in 'reddit' in the URL with 'remov', so "reddit.com" becomes "removeddit.com". Here are the removed comments for this topic.

I can only wonder at what kind of incredible mental gymnastics you must perform to where you can dismiss the fields of geology, archeology, etc., and still tell yourself you actually listen to the science. Just be honest and state that you don't engage with science that doesn't affirm your worldviews, rather than make the ridiculous and trivially easy to disprove claim that it doesn't exist.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-26T21:34:38+00:00

And some of those "conspiracy theorists" will see the old folks at their gatherings die because of this.

Though I'm not surprised that a young earth creationist is trying to frame people that respect science as conspiracy theorists.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-26T21:33:16+00:00

Yes, Americans truly are subject to the worst horrors of totalitarianism, such as being told they need to wear a mask when they go out. Other examples, such as being sent to labor camps or being arrested and tortured by police, pale in comparison to what we have to endure.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-24T16:41:23+00:00

Then you were looking at the wrong sources. Kyle Kulinski called out this exact scenario when he was on the Joe Rogan Election Special

Weird, because last I heard all of Trump's lawsuits were being thrown out for lack of merit.

Dude, the election is already over. Even if they recount and find out Trump won Georgia, Biden still has 290 electoral votes, and none of those states are within the recount range.

Sporadic? The right-wing conspiracy shit is constant. I can't even recommend Saidit to my friends that don't like Reddit, because the conspiracy theorists have even more of a presence on here than the liberals do on Reddit.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-12T20:37:47+00:00

I've gotta be honest, if you think it's not a spectrum, then you really need to read up on autism some more. Asperger's as a milder and less-dysfunctional form of Autism was identified back in the 1940s. Since then the term has expanded to note people that display some mild autism symptoms that aren't quite severe enough to merit a diagnosis.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-12T18:57:57+00:00

This outcome was predicted even before the election, and it's called the Red Mirage. It would look like Trump was winning right at the start of election night, and then in states where mail-in ballots are counted last (you can find a list of those states online), things would swing towards Biden as more votes were counted.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-12T18:32:41+00:00

Saidit isn't much better in that regard. Instead of "liberal activism" in non-political subs, it's constant conspiracy theories

I think it would be helpful if there were an archive of specific comments that people have gotten warnings or bans for. I've been around long enough that I have a pretty good idea, but for new users it might be helpful.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-10T01:55:39+00:00

"Ineligible" doesn't mean fraudulent. Either the ballots arrived late, or they weren't filled out properly, etc. But as has already been stated, even without Georgia, Biden will still win the election. He's already at 290 votes from the other states with margins outside of the recount range.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-10T01:52:16+00:00

Does it make you mad to know that in a few months the democrats will have the Executive Branch? Because that's what's going to happen. Might as well just accept it.

Autism correlates with being trans at high rates, programming is a field that attracts a lot of autists (at even higher rates than STEM fields in general), and there's a big pronoun contingent in the gaming scene. It's not surprising you would end up having groups of devs networking on the basis of being trans.

Hell yeah, the first two games were great. I guess the question is if this is just a re-skin or a rebuild from the ground up.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-08T20:27:40+00:00

Half the dev team is trans, and the character designer, who is trans, said that Celeste was based on themselves. As chandra said "trans dev makes trans character". So I wouldn't even say this was for woke points.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-08T20:26:12+00:00

Yeah, that's way more reasonable. Honestly, when Rowling retconned Dumbledore to be gay that was more obnoxious because nothing in the books indicated that and it appeared to be mostly a grab for woke points. Being trans and making a character based on you also trans is fine.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-08T20:23:30+00:00

They don't get to determine the winner, but that's not what "call" actually means in this context. All they're saying is enough EC votes have been collected to determine a winner, and when that's what has actually happened, yes they absolutely can state that fact.

FediNetizen · 2020-11-07T18:01:57+00:00

Biden was 8 points ahead in the polls. As of right now he's 3 points ahead in the popular vote. "Obvious fraud" my ass; that's still a 5-point swing in Trump's favor.

Meh, as long as it comes in an update soon-ish it's not a big deal. You get 1TB out of the box. I know there are crazy bloated games like the latest CoD at over 100GB, but most games are in the few 10s of GB.

"Court Says Six-Day-Old Baby Isn’t a Person"

God I hate these shitty editorialized titles.

"In an eight-page decision issued Thursday, a five-member majority of the Court of Appeals said in a decision written by Judge Eugene Pigott that the central question in the case was whether the state Legislature intended "to hold pregnant women criminally responsible for engaging in reckless conduct against themselves and their unborn fetuses, such that they should be subject to criminal liability for prenatal conduct that results in postnatal death? Under the current statutory scheme, the answer to this question is no."

The court said that Suffolk County prosecutors "concede that, had defendant not consented to the cesarean section with the result that the child be born alive, she would not have been prosecuted for manslaughter in the second degree." Ruling against Jorgensen, then, "would create a perverse incentive for a pregnant woman to refuse a cesarean section out of fear that if her baby is born alive she would face criminal charges for her alleged reckless conduct, jeopardizing the health of the woman and the unborn fetus."

Such an imposition of criminal liability, the majority found, "should be clearly defined by the legislature, not the courts. It should also not be left to the whim of the prosecutor."

FediNetizen · 2020-10-30T19:32:30+00:00

I really don't think you do get it. Particularly when this show was written (pre-ACA), it was a common reality of American life that you could get cancer, and not have the means to pay for the treatment. The counterpoint RasputinsDong was making is that in Walter's particular case, he had rich friends willing to help, and didn't actually need to do anything desperate to pay for his treatment.

While that is true, it doesn't nullify the sad fact that this plot point only seems normal to an American audience, because in almost every other advanced country this situation isn't even possible.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-29T22:39:41+00:00

Plenty of people on this site are definitely claiming it isn't real.

nority here, but I believe the virus is real.

Anywhere but Saidit and you're definitely not in the minority. The guy that posted this is still just as much of a conspiracy theorist as ever.

At the same time: I have absolutely no idea why people wear all of this alone in their own car

The vast majority of people don't, because when you're alone in your car there's no threat. That's why when someone saw this, they decided to take a picture.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-26T17:00:59+00:00

willfully remain blind to.

No, I'm well aware that it's there. It's that just like with flat-earthers and young-earth creationists, I don't find your "alternative facts" compelling because they don't add up.

But that aside, not providing a source is in fact typical for you. If you think otherwise, either you don't understand what a source is, or you're viewing your own comment history through rose-tinted glasses. Mentioning a subreddit is not sourcing your claim; that's barely any better than "do yOUr ReSEArch". A proper source is a publication from a credible/authoritative person or organization that directly supports the specific claim you are making. So when I said that you were wrong when you claimed that deaths had mysteriously completely stopped, and provided a link to the CDC's weekly flu stats showing people were still dying from the flu, that was citing a source. Or when I said you were retarded for claiming that they were attributing flu deaths to the virus, and provided a link to a chart showing that COVID-19 deaths are both vastly higher than what you would see from the flu, and occurring at a different time of the year, that was citing a source.

If you don't like conspirophiles you are free to leave this site. What keeps you here as a naysayer?

Pull your head out of your ass. I'm not here for you or any other conspiratard, and Saidit isn't a conspiracy theory site. If y'all left for Voat I'd appreciate it, honestly. I'm here for the handful of more mindful and reasonable people that hang out on this site, with the hopes that our type eventually becomes a majority and this becomes more like the old reddit I used to love. Right now the only the gender critical subs meet that criteria, but I still check the frontpage from time to time and see shit like this.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-25T01:41:06+00:00

For the first time in history there are no more flu deaths, yes, even including off-season. Peculiar that.

As is typical, you didn't source your claim, and as is also typical, your claim was false. While flu deaths are low even for the offseason, there are still flu deaths being reported. It really bugs me how you call other people sheeple when you're just another conspiratard that falls for whatever conspiratorial bullshit they read. You're in good company on this site, I guess.

And by the way, if you have more than two brain cells to rub together you should be thoroughly unsurprised by those numbers. Of course we're going to have fewer people dying to the flu when there's a more infectious and deadlier disease going around that also kills the same kinds of people.

Edit: And to address your 2nd point, I have no delusions that there isn't corruption in government, but that doesn't in any way suggest the pandemic is fake.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-25T01:05:16+00:00

can't articulate a coherent winning argument

Honestly, I didn't think my comment was that hard to understand. Maybe for you it was, though, who knows. Really ballsy to accuse me of being the low IQ one when you can't seem to make very basic connections, like "If there are over 200,000 people dead, then this has to be more dangerous than the flu".

You can tell yourself I'm stupid for following the science all you want, I guess. This is saidit, there are tons of creationists and conspiracy theorists alt-righters and other anti-science chuds on here, so you're in good company.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-23T00:36:57+00:00

But not exclusively.

I'm impressed at your inability to process new information when it doesn't support your worldviews. You claimed that they're attributing flu deaths to COVID-19. That a handful of people die outside of winter doesn't make that claim any less retarded when those deaths had barely even started after the flu season had ended.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-22T23:54:19+00:00

How come no one dies of the flu anymore?

Seriously? How do you not know that the flu kills people predominantly in the winter? How have you never once looked at a graph of COVID-19 deaths and realized it doesn't at all match what you would see with the flu? On what planet does the flu kill 200,000+ Americans? This question is so dumb you could probably get nominated for a QQOQQ award.

I cannot predict or not what a scientist would think or not after his death.

That's nice, doesn't matter though. I'm asking you to prove you're not full of shit by naming a scientist who published works that we can use to predict the amount light curves when it passes close to the sun. You said Einstein was a plagiarist. Who did he plagiarize to come up with his formulas here?

FediNetizen · 2020-10-20T14:34:39+00:00

If you think it is retarded to call a plagiarist a plagiarist

Nope, you don't get to beg the question here, particularly after dodging the question that you should have been able to answer if your plagiarism claim were actually true. I'll repeat it in case you missed it the first time: Who could have predicted the precise curvature value of light around the sun before Einstein?

Spoiler alert: I already know you won't be able to come up with an answer to this question, because no one could before Einstein presented his theory of relativity. We did already know that light could bend in the presence of gravity, but the time dilation that comes from the presence of high gravity fields was something we didn't understand, and the answer a physicist would have given you before Einstein would have been off by a factor of 2. It's only with Einstein's relativity that you can come up with a precise value.

Jews are socialists that want equity for everyone. They want to dismantle our wonderful capitalist system.

It's also pretty retarded to call him a plagiarist. No one could have told you how much light would curve around the sun before Albert Einstein presented his theory of relativity.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-17T20:44:44+00:00

Given the lack of a "Middle Eastern" category and the fact that the majority of these countries are located in those areas, I wonder if they just fucked up the document and no one noticed.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-17T20:35:30+00:00

This is old news. They were talking about this years ago, and I think were in danger of getting shut down by regulators.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-17T19:59:14+00:00

When you're at the point where you're calling large clinical trials and the consensus of fields of hard science "lies", you're basically on the level of a creationist, and I'll repeat that as many times as you need to hear it.

Also, that's not what FediNetizen stands for, and I've said what it does stand for multiple times already. If you were smart, you could find one the relevant comment pretty quickly, so I'm guessing it will take you a while. To answer your question in short: Yes.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-17T16:40:02+00:00

Imagine being such an isolated shut in that you go through my comment history to cherry pick a statement so you can have a contrived excuse to hurl an ad hominem.

You spent more time writing this than I did looking at your comment history, so what exactly does that make you? Furthermore, this isn't cherrypicking; in the few minutes that I looked at your comment history, I saw a number of comments indicating the same position, this one just happens to be the one making a clear claim which is trivially easy to disprove. You can compare the 2018 flu season, which is considered the worst flu season we've had in the last 40 years, and which killed as many as 80,000 people, to COVID-19's impact.

Notice how one only caused a modest rise in the total death rate, and the other caused total deaths to absolutely skyrocket? Now note the date on the article, and note the date on your comment. The fact that you're still repeating a flu bro talking point in fucking August, combined with your apparent dislike of me, a guys who is obviously a lefty, is why I called you a right-wing tard.

You've affirmed multiple times that you think COVID-19 is way overblown and your claim that it's no more dangerous than the flu is consistent with that view. The example I mentioned isn't cherrypicking. Learn what words mean.

But, here you are spreading hatred, and division, not building bridges, and understanding.

Let me ask you something. Do you think you're the first right-winger I've tried debating with on here? Hell no. I've had plenty of conversations, but even when you give them direct links to the actual papers on the subject, it's like talking to a brick wall.

I tried pointing out to the racial realists that socioeconomics is an important factor, and I cited my sources with good papers like this one. The response I got that it was still all about race. I tried pointing out to the Trump-tards that HCQ wasn't working and most large studies showed it had no impact, citing my sources with the largest clinical trials of HCQ available.

At the same time, there are people on this site that I get along with even though some of their politics are different. Those chats work because neither of us are stubbornly holding some disproven falsehood as a core belief. If you think I'm "spreading hatred and division", it's probably because you spend too much time hanging out with either the racists, or the stubborn and/or ignorant users. And given that you believe that COVID-19 is no more dangerous than the flu, I'd say you're in good company.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-16T20:46:30+00:00

You squeal with delight when alternate and dissenting viewpoints get censored on establishment platforms.

I definitely don't do that. In fact if you read my comment history you can find a number of times where I complain about precisely that. You go on this entire rant, claiming to have me figured out, but completely missing the mark.

It seems like you're upset by the fact that I look down on people like you, so let me be clear. As long as you're not advocating for harm against others, I don't think you should be kicked off of a website. If you're a racist or anti-semite or something like that, I think a quarantine or "hide-by-default" option is fine.

That being said, your entire rant is based on nothing but your own delusions. Between this and your retarded-ass comments claiming that COVID-19 is about as deadly as the flu, you do seem like just another right-wing tard.

FediNetizen · 2020-10-16T18:03:04+00:00

I'm not sure what the logic is supposed to be here. The fact that I dislike racists, alt-right chuds, and conspiracy theorists, means I'm supposed to like Facebook and Twitter? Is Saidit a website meant for racists and conspiracy theorists to you?

It is now, in 2020 when it's so thoroughly proven that any church knows they will look foolish if they seriously try to argue for a young earth, or that evolution isn't real. But the actual scripture hasn't changed, and until recent history you could find plenty of religious orgs that were very seriously trying to support the creationism theory, and then when that was losing ground it was dressed up as Intelligent Design so they could try to get it taught in schools.

Hell, when I was in the military I met a guy whose schoolteacher in Florida told him that dinosaur fossils were put there by god to test our faith. He'd be about 35 now so he would have learned this in the late 90s or early 2000s. Sure, now in 2020 it's not as widely taught as it once was. But there are absolutely still Christians that are taught it, and you can find users on this site, such as u/ christnmusicreleases, that actively believe in it.

Thats. The. Joke.

Can't do that either.

It's not "sweeping generalizations" when you've got a site populated by literal Nazis, holocaust deniers, etc. You yourself post tons of fake news, so you're fitting into a different mold yourself.

You're probably mistaking my disgust at the people - for hatred of their religion.

Oh no, this is Saidit, I already assumed you didn't like Jews.

Whoops, forgot I edited my comment. Originally I used Black Lives Matter as an example of what would agitate you.

But no, both are at least in part matters of theology. If you're deep in the Jewish faith and you believe you're the chosen people, the implication that what Israel is doing is wrong will offend you on a religious level.

One is about concrete human rights, the other is a matter of theology

He says, in the context of a discussion about a video of how people are reacting to human rights views in a church, and without any apparent hint of self-awareness. They are both about human rights, you nimrod. They also both involve "group consensus". Saidit is really something else.

They're "not doing anything" because they can't. Websites can delete whatever they like and give the boot to whoever they like. The government can't force a person (or company) to host views they don't agree with; that would be a textbook violation of the 1st Amendment.

If you aren't happy with websites like Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter, the solution is to use other websites.

Half of you would get agitated if some guy stood up in your church and declared that the earth isn't 6,000 years old and evolution is real. But sure, go off.
