This post is about pervasive bunk that exists (with a small bit of slant) across the political spectrum in the USA. Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession, and the majority blame the Biden administration, according to a Harris poll conducted...

You do not remember the phrases that you forget. Therefore, to your memory, it's like you remember all of them (even though you don't). It's a type of self-selection bias.

Thank you for reposting my quote from post #14. There are no intelligence estimates in post #1.

"A is B" does not imply that A and B are synonyms. They are not when A is a specific term and B is a more general term encompassing it.

Sure. But at that angle, shouldn't there be more glare visible near the ends of the gap?

Media that generally rate low in factuality did e.g. spread news of Putin's "heart attack". We have not found quality media that did. About 2 years ago, the CIA was reported to estimate that Putin was quite healthy. Any statement about "the media" is likely an overgeneralisation.

@jimmyslippin @john.phil I take your examples to show the rolling shutter effect explained above. It's clear that this can explain the "break" in the laser at SWR, but so far we have not identified a camera where this could happen as it does here on portrait image (and a vertical beam). Your...

I looked up title 52, and https://www.justice.gov/crt/title-52-voting-and-elections-subtitle-i-and-ii always associates the word "fraud" with something like "knowingly or willfully" or similar, signaling intent. I hate arguing with people who can't be bothered to do the source work.

I know the definition of "synonym". What I would like you to establish is that these terms are synonyms.

Google recently bought the right to use reddit posts to train its AI. It's not going well...

You mean, The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, "Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election."? It does not mention electoral fraud. Instead, it states, "The VRA does not require intent to discriminate." Compare: Intent is a crucial factor in fraud cases. The...

I do not see that quoted in this thread. What "contents" did you quote it from? Here's a citation I found: Plaintiffs challenge the state's certification and approval, and the local Defendants' selection and use of: (1) punch card voting systems, (2) voting systems that lack effective error...

There is no evidence for interference at all, and it should be very visible—if it is even possible with this setup, which I doubt.

the proper consequence is to change the voting system, to one where your vote is not "lost" if your first preference is an also-ran.

Because it was available, I expect. Remember, these kinds of rumors work better if they come with a sense of danger.

are not what I'd call thank you for clarifying

I know nothing about that issue, and I'm not particularly interested in it.

Now that is a claim I'd like to see evidence for (in another thread).

Yes, but if the topic of your thread is "early polls are not meaningful", you named it wrong and placed it in the wrong section. Our Flat Earth threads do start with a claim of evidence. I don't think it's meaningful to "debunk" a straw man.

Well, if I had context, I could examine what meaning the guy on TV ascribes to the poll, and what they think it could be used for. I'm still in the dark about that.
