    Aye it’s the humanity problem.

    Surrounding yourself with people that believe nonsense only reinforces the idea; it really plays into our necessity of “group”.

    Gotta give props to the guy for getting out of the cycle.

      That FTC guy who went “ha ha! I actually hate the Telecom industry and I will restore net neutrality!”. Except he needed only 2 panels.

          Tom Wheeler. Sorry, I had to look up the name. He succeeded the professional ass clown that was Ajit Pai, seemed like another Republican Telecom shill coming from the industry to further errode the regulatory agency.

          Turns out he had made his start in Telecom and the big players are up his small company. He seemed to have joined them but he secretly had an ax to grind or at least the public’s best interest in mind.

          Top notch guy. Greatest anime betrayals right there.

      Scientist are stupid removed because they’re liars, Sometimes. Gravity is a complete scam! Ask a scientist, any scientist to explain gravity to you. They can’t. Newton thought he could, but then Einstein came and proved he was a liar and a little removed. Einstein thought he could, but then some other scientist proved he was a liar and a removed. So how do we know they’re all not lieing removed. /S

    Turning over to the round side seems to have garnered a lot more views. I wonder whether he would have stayed flat if it were otherwise. After all many more are making content online in the hopes of money and fame than in some quest for truth.

      Most of the big names in the flerf community are grifters, for sure. But many of the people who follow them are genuine believers. I have a relative who’s a die-hard flerfer.

      Sheeps and Neeps was a small time flerfer who literally died because his conspiracy theory beliefs about cancer treatment, and there was that guy who went up in a rocket and came down in pieces. So some of them really do believe it. In my relative’s case, he went through a lot of trauma, flerfers give him a sense of belonging and something to hold onto.

        I don’t believe that, even if they say they do, I don’t believe that they actually believe it
