What a strange and leading question.

Imagine being able to buy a brand new 90s Corolla for 10k. That'd be nice

I don't know shit about this band/this type of music... is it actually the kind of music that only Nazis would listen to?

Like, if someone leaked a Pantera fan list, I guess I wouldn't be on the wagon to ruin all their lives, even though Pantera is pretty well known for racism, shouting White Power and Nazi sautes n shit.

if you didn't know about Pantera

But, plenty of chain grocery stores do have their bread baked off-site and delivered.

Seems like anything could be a slur if used in an offensive context then, right?

Like, if I said "okay tomato", you could take it as offensive it in turns tomato into a slur.

I guess I'm just thinking while typing here, but if that's what a slur is, maybe we need a new term for contextless offensive words?

Just curious. Would saying something like "youngin" be considered a slur as well then?

Death, taxes and this post on Lemmy

True.

But this is also another volunteer, likely anonymous, YouGov internet poll that people are taking as fact again. Lemmy is flooded with them and they have no value

Here's another YouGov poll post from a few days ago if you want to read discussion why they are/these posts are clickbait trash

I'm sure it's true, but do we poll over everything now? I feel like there are better, more scientific sources to use than a CBS poll.

I just saw a poll about Bluetooth headphones being unhealthy for you earlier so I just feel like this in general and am using this as a place to put my thoughts tbh.

I just feel like we are putting to much faith into opinions of the "masses", and believing what we read online.

A lot of things can be actually proven in other ways.

I'd imagine the idea of being the "good guy" is to represent what to populus wants.

What's the point of taking down Putin for another Putin?
