Wait, you mean the last 2 are, in all fact, the same, exact, thing?

None of these are genx specific.

GPS only became standard in the last 10 years, and millennial are in their 40s.

Encyclopedias have informational blurbs, but often lack nuance and aren't how you get subject matter expertise and real-life arguments happen every holiday.

These arguments are about as sensical as saying kids NEED to learn cursive more than they need to learn home key.

The chances of the internet going away are actually pretty slim. Being able to navigate the internet is more important than any of those things.

This is so childish. "If you don't self-sacrifice when no one else is, then you, you're the one I'm going to call out."

Shaming someone for not being the one to make a change you want to see happen on a systemic level while doing nothing to fix the system is such a child's take.

The problem is that the GOP forgot to keep it a boogeyman. Hypocritical conservatives could continue the culture war against abortion as long as the independent, Democrat, and liberal woman believed SCOTUS wouldn't rip apart half a century of precedent. As soon as the monster came out from under the bed and became real woman began arming themselves to fight it.

This is such a bad take.

You're not the arbitor of news. Being able to discredit her is important to a lot of people who have lost friends and family to get quackery.

To some of us, any argument you can use to bring those you love, people who are once upon a time intelligent, rational creatures, back into reality is important.

Her being disgraced may give her another 15 seconds of happiness, but it's another point of argument. It won't be a winning point for everyone, but it can be a tipping point for some.

You much think it's bad journalism, but you're not the arbiter for everyone. So, since you like to put your head on the sand and be ignorant about the people who spread dangerous medical misinformation, the kind that lead to mobs in Spain trying to pull down cellular towers, scroll past and keep doing that while the rest of us talk about seagulls

She did world wide tours peddling her 5g magnetic crap. She's literally the source of that rumor and it is world wide.

Is she as notorious as Wakefield? No, but he's got 10 years on her in the bullshit arena.

Is it the most notable world event at the moment? Also no, but she is a global figure.

I disagree, Sheri Tenpenny has been among the most damaging voices in the antivax arena since it began. This is a relevant as Andrew Wakefield losing his license. Her claims are used worldwide by the anti Vax, covid denying nut jobs.

Just because it happened in Ohio doesn't mean it is limited to Ohio.

This is where justice would come in. Fixing the system so that resources are distributed automatically to provide everyone with equitable access to the tools

That's actually where justice comes in.

Fixing the system so all people have equal access automatically under the system
