> A good example is the thread on the shop teacher wearing enormous fake breasts and long flowing hair to shop class. This was a fact. They did it. There is video of the person using a chop saw in a shop class, with children milling around. There were reports from multiple news media about it. It is not reasonable to assume it was some kind of staged show or a deepfake or other fakery.

See, you are a liar Sam. That isn’t true. There were not “reports from multiple news media” about it. There were tabloid stories and social media posts. That’s it. We looked for other reports. We looked for exactly what you are talking about, and couldn’t find them. Hence the skepticism.

The media was sketchy, the pictures probably doctored, it was a setup, a conservative fakeout, this never happened. If it did, there’s something wrong about the framing of it. It simply can’t be what it plainly appears to be.

Again, you are a liar. Look at what I said.

> I expect more than tabloids and social media, yes. Not the NYT, but maybe a reputable local Ontario paper? (Not a tabloid like The Sun.) Im not saying it’s total bullshit, even tabloids sometimes have real news, but I’m skeptical.

I was pretty careful to express that I was not going to say it was false, just that I was careful to believe it. That was because I didn’t have enough to say it wasn’t true. I never said that it never happened. Nobody else in the thread said that either. You are spreading lies.

This is why you have trouble on this board Sam. It’s not because you have political beliefs that clash with others. It’s because you lie. You say things that aren’t true. You make shit up. You are on a message board for a web site based around an old newspaper column that tries to give truthful answers to questions from people, and you spend your time here doing the opposite of that.

The “woe is me” bullshit falls flat when you’re clearly just a despicable liar who is exposed time after time again. You’re pathetic.
