Don't even bother, I've tried.

They misunderstand that science is always striving for evidence and if something isn't 100% irrefutably proven it doesn't mean that alternative hypotheses should be considered equally viable.

They don't understand that a line is drawn in the scientific community based on current evidence and there is no secret cabal preventing research into plant consciousness. They ignore scientists who study plant electrical signaling who explicitly distinguish between complex biochemical response mechanisms and centralised subjective experience.

They don't even acknowledge that even if plants could be considered conscious they would have levels of it below that of your average mammal.

I've tagged them as "Plants are conscious advocate" so I can take any opinion they push with a handful of salt.

Personally would have gone with:

We live so subserviently,

Accepting all normality.

Drenched in routine,

Doused in the forseen.

And yes granted we prosper,

But the fact that we prosper

Is even taken for grante-DAH!

Yes Trump literally said in his speech that's what it's about, they're not even trying to hide it anymore.

We know Google Translate gets things wrong sometimes so I was just wondering if Russia means "Special" Military Operation in the same way the Americans mean "Special" Olympics?

Isn't that the joke?

I would if there weren't 100 better places to start first.

Also, it's probably too late to make enough difference short of rewriting how modern civilization works.

Seems pretty realistic to me if Covid is anything to go by...

Don't forget the arse-linking, couch fucking lackey.

I have somewhat of a pet extension to projection theory... Many people who are anti-gay think that it is a choice as they themselves have made that choice. ie. They are repressed bisexual/gay.

Completely unsubstantiated with no evidence but I find it fun to think about as it would explain their complete misunderstanding of it not being a choice. "I made the tough choice and am living with it, why can't they?!"

AI is clearly no match for little Bobby Tables.

Nah it's just SFA with extra steps.

"Bored of peace" coalition

I see the ongoing slide into labelling anything mildy analytical as autistic is in full swing.

Right on cue, the descent into fascism begins ahead of the impending climate disasters.

It's so depressing to see France like this, I always held it up as a prominent antifa nation.

So if all world leaders collectively agreed to put aside their differences, ditch capitalism and mobilise their entire populations to actively work to reduce emissions tomorrow we might stand a slim chance of preventing the worst case scenario...

It's a made up definition which varies depending on whose fairytales you believe.

Me: Here's the URL for the web service I've just deployed. I've set up users and permissions so just copy it into your browser and you should see a very similar system to what you've been trained on with all your data in there.

Customer: All I'm getting is a blank screen.

Much panicking and headscratching later...

Me: Waaaiiiiittt, did you press Return/Go after copying the URL?

Customer: That was not in the instructions.
