Twitter under Musk....

Me too

I've got this idea in my head that I'm not really very tech savvy compared with most.

Moments like this make me feel like a modern day Ada Lovelace 😁

Whereas I feel like a modern day Linda Lovelace....

I can only go by what you write.

Regarding your 98% of climate scientists claim, I recall pulling you up on a list of climate change denying 'scientists' which included amongst their number one Piers Effing Corbyn so excuse me if I dismiss that point without further investigation.

Well you recalled wrong, he was put up on some sort of list as a metreologist which is a fancy word for weatherman. But hey don't let fact get in your way right?

A meterologist is an atmospheric climate and weather scientist.

which is a other word for weatherman or more inclusive weatherperson

So you agree that you claimed Piers Corbyn was a scientist.

It's at times like this I wish the old forum was still searchable.

Can't argue with either of those tweets.

But it still won't get me to join Twitter.

Must been an other planet where you live on, because i remember countless recounts a voting company that was playing along on twitters and that kind off stuff.

You have a selective memory. In electoral college states with republican legislation there were numerous recounts because Trump and his more militant republican governors would not accept the count.

Trump was saying he won by a landslide but didn't really have the numbers to prove it, that had not so much to do with the proud boys or the other ones qanon i believe.

Yes, that's because Trump is a fantasist. Trump lost the popular vote by 2.67 million votes. In 2021 he lost by 7.5 million votes.

If his "landslide" comment is about 2016 then it is only true in the sense that he won the electoral college in a large number of states although in many of them the vote was extremely close. In 2020 neither side had an electoral college landslide but Biden had a significant win in the popular vote.

Do you remember what he said during that rally before people stormed the capital or are you just responding to what media like the independent tells you he said?

I don't need to. He documented it on twitter and on video. He refused to say anything to quell the people storming the capitol at his behest having told them to stand strong and fight for "democracy". Hopefully he will be locked up before the next US election. They are coming for him...

Nope, i didn't claim anything about Corbyn i linked to a article which listed Corbyn someone where as a metreologist that you try to get your point by stretching metreologist as scientist is on you. (just to educate there is a reason it's a different title while technically you could call it a scientist it's a certain very specific area, trying to claim it are ''just scientist'' is wrong, just as trying to twist words into believing i or said article claimed it was an scientist it's just false information.)

That's exactly what i said, yeah you add that it's in republican dominant area's but that's not true, surely it was also in reprublican area's but in more than enough democrats held area's too, and there nothing wrong with it, it shows willingness to check an re-check. The attitude of the voting systems company was much more appalling instead of proving why there system wasn't rigged they just came with a few statements claiming it wasn't rigged.

Yes, that's because Trump is a fantasist. Trump lost the popular vote by 2.67 million votes. In 2021 he lost by 7.5 million votes.

I agree that he is an fantasist alwasy making everything he does sounds so much more special than anyone else.

If his "landslide" comment is about 2016 then it is only true in the sense that he won the electoral college in a large number of states although in many of them the vote was extremely close. In 2020 neither side had an electoral college landslide but Biden had a significant win in the popular vote.

He made that landslide comment so many times i don't even remember it was indeed very close

I don't need to. He documented it on twitter and on video. He refused to say anything to quell the people storming the capitol at his behest having told them to stand strong and fight for "democracy". Hopefully he will be locked up before the next US election. They are coming for him...

Jup just as i suspected, you have an slective memory, his full speech also mentioned they should fight peacefully but that wasn't what the media and democrats warmongers wanted as it didn't fit there frame so it is left out in many video's news article etc. who then went on to be massively shared.
So far i know Trump hasn't even confirmed he is running, as for being locked up, for the capital riots he won't be because law enforcement has to look at facts shortened clips that change the context of what he actually said, the only thing he could be locked up for is bankruptcy fraud(but it's the us very small chance), something with his taxes or maybe an metoo like case that's yet to emerge but so far i know he has'nt formally announced he is running yet.

It's not a stretch, meteorology is a branch of science and a meteorologist is a type of scientist. And you were using that list to try and demonstrate climate change denial amongst scientists. If you still have a link to it why not post it?

Piers Corbyn is not a meteorologist, he's a crank grifter who's spent far too much time staring directly into the sun.

It's not a stretch, meteorology is a branch of science and a meteorologist is a type of scientist.

exactly what i explained o you above, but it still a stretch to try to say the article or i said scientist why else would there be a separate word for it? A surgeon and a doctor are both medical professionals, yet is it important the have the distinctions as a surgeon might be better at the operation threate then a doctor.

And you were using that list to try and demonstrate climate change denial amongst scientists. If you still have a link to it why not post it?

Wrong the link at the time was solely to demonstrate not all scientist agree with the IPCC direction and the 98% claim refers to climate change and not to human made climate change. it's more than an year ago i think i don't have that link anymore.

Piers Corbyn is not a meteorologist, he's a crank grifter who's spent far too much time staring directly into the sun.

i haven't observed him long enough to determine he stares into the sun to long, but each their hobby. I really don't care about that Corbyn guy that much, but if he is allowed to use that title i assume he had a degree of some sorts to allow him to use that title?

 

[winjim]

I may be wrong but I don't think that 'crank grifter' is a protected title.

 

[AndyRM]

by not responding if you have not something usefull to say?

No the usual crybabies say it's inciting violence that's something else.



It was about twitters rules and how they adjust them for persons they don't like. There are many more use presidents in the past who either lied or take a very creative take with reality. (for example saying 98% of scientist agree there is climate change, followed by and that human caused it, while the actual fact is 98% believes there is climate change, the opinions on that human solely caused it or much more divided)


it's behind a paywall i really not going to buy an independent subscription to read what kind of bit you cherry picked from an article to prove your point.

Trump was saying he won by a landslide but didn't really have the numbers to prove it, that had not so much to do with the proud boys or the other ones qanon i believe. They where the ones coming up with stories about how votes where stolen, they probably mixed rothshild/illimuniati/ whatever other conspiracy they could find in the mix. and in all fairness it was very close in the end results.. with an additional research showing nearly 20% only voted Biden because it was not Trump.


Do you remember what he said during that rally before people stormed the capital or are you just responding to what media like the independent tells you he said?
Because there is an difference, and for the record i am no fan of Trump but i'm even less of a fan of false narrative and the whole capital story is riddled with it and if you want to look for someone to blame you need to look for someone's the blame because both republicans and democrats created the circumstances for that situation and how it got out of control in the way it did.

I did. I asked if you could provide some of the misinformation that Obama had spread.

You haven't, because you can't.

The evidence of Trump's nonsense is so widespread it would border on insulting to link it for you.

i did, Obama said that 98% of the scientist agree thar there is climate change and that human caused it. While the 98% is correct, there is much less consensus about it solely being caused by humans. and then there or many more little things or half thruths etc. the prevail from both side primarly when there are new elections looming.
