And now he’s whining about being criticized for being inaccurate (and, amusingly, being inaccurate about how many errors he made)!
What a pathetic, whiny little snowflake.
Pretty much made up shit about Neil Young retracting his Spotify demand.
I wouldn’t chalk that up to dishonesty in that case, but it’s definitely lazy and self-serving.
I think laziness is probably the best explanation for this serial inaccuracy. He has terrible sources (on anything at all related to politics, anyway) and just can’t be bothered to go verify what he assumes is true.
Sam - yes, it’s fun to go through your posts and find all the mistakes you make. But why are you making it so incredibly easy for me? I mean, I could do this in my sleep, considering how obvious so many of your inaccuracies are.
I’m currently trying to figure out where is source was for the terribly inaccurate figures he posted about the 7 day average covid case numbers in Alberta.
And I just told you, and the error wasn’t mine. But thanks for running to the pit and crying about it like the whiny baby I am supposed to be.
But hey, on the bright side you did manage to reinforce your inclusion signal to your in-group, so there’s that, I guess.
You have an interesting take. He wasn’t crying about it, he was mocking you.
But what do you mean that the error wasn’t yours? Do you take no responsibility for the information that you repeat to others?
Ah yes, the typical hive mind accusation. It’s odd that it’s so prevalent among right wing propogandists like yourself, almost as if you all think alike.
Sure, feel free to blame google or whatever, instead of your shitty, shitty research skills.
This is a consistent pattern with you… Post whatever crap you quickly turn up, and then blame others and get butt-hurt when you are corrected.
But do keep on being a whiney titty baby about the whole thing. Or maybe do better research in the first place - whatever is easier for you.
It’s a common tactic amongst the less reasonable conservatives here and elsewhere to simply claim that any opposition is entirely partisan and not because one is wrong and/or outright lying. That way they can avoid ever taking responsibility for what they say, and can freely repeat the false information over and over again.
So if I applied the same scrutiny to your posts - say calling you out as a liar even when you are generally correct but missed some small detail or didn’t get a Trump quote exactly right or something, how do you think you’d fare? How about anyone else here? I suspect your existence here in a bubble of fellow travelers gives you a false sense of just how accurate you are.
I see errors like this in many posts, and don’t call them out if the general point is correct because I give the benefit of the doubt, and because I’m not an asshole looking to defeat my ‘enemies’ with trivial ‘gotchas’. And I’ll bet you do the same when the posts are on your side. But when it comes to me, I had better not drop so much as a preposition or I’ll be bombarded with claims of lies and demands for cites for what should be common knowledge.
Is that what you think you have done here?
You are maliciously slandering people, and the things that you are slandering them with simply isn’t true.
It’s not trivial to point out that the entire premise that you are promoting, and everything that it is based on, is lies and hyperbole.
Oh wahh, cry a bit more.
You have to be kidding. I went to the covid tracker home page, read the current number for the 7-day average, and posted it, The same site I have been using for two years. It turns out the number was wrong because they hadn’t posted yesterday’s numbers like they should have, so the moving average was lower than it should be.
And that’s my fault? And evidence of shitty research skills? Jesus.
I didn’t call you out as a liar. I think it’s more likely that you’re just often wrong and too lazy to check.
But feel free to go through my posts. I pride myself on being careful with the claims I make. And if you find I made some errors - great! I’d love to see them. I want to improve myself and correct my own flaws. Feel free to assist me with this endeavor.
I can start with one.
I think it’s more that he wants what he says to be true.
What “The covid tracker webpage?” I posted THREE different cites (CTV News, the Alberta Government and John’s Hopkins)
You looked at “The covid tracker webpage” what ever the hell this means, and it apparently mysteriously gave you the wrong information.
Just own up to making a mistake for once.
And quick to blame others.
If you type ‘covid tracker’ into Google, you get Google’s summary pages for Covid stats in your area. There is no URL, so I can’t link to it, but it is sourced from here:
I can’t use the ArcGIS dashboard which uses the same data, because it won’t open on my iPad. If you dig into the data for Alberta you will see the zero-number entries for Monday and Tuesday. I wasn’t making it up.
You know, I post a lot in science and engineering threads. Just out of curiosity, do you see my posts as being inaccurate there? I don’t recall ever being criticized by you for inaccuracy in the many threads we have both participated in.Or is it only when I disagree with you about politics that suddenly I’m a fountain of errors?
Or maybe it’s only when you are talking about politics that you are talking out your ass.
I don’t like obvious errors in Covid threads. And sad excuses of how google was wrong don’t cut it. Man up.
LLLOOOOOOOOOLLL
The two main things you do here is try to own the libs with gotchas and whine about being oppressed.
Yet another conservative who has, over the course of the last few decades, come to think that spouting counterfactual information is the same as “having an opinion”.
Somehow, those on that side of the political line have collectively come to the agreement that “as long as it can be considered political, then I can say WHATEVER I want, reality be damned, because that’s just, like, my opinion, man.”
