I didn't watch the episode because their 9/11 episodes led me not to trust them on conspiracy stuff. It looks like I made the right call. Did they really buy the Warren Commission? Lol. Lmao.

      I think part of an ongoing psy op is to lump flat earthers with 9/11 truthers and "the CIA was behind the coup/assassination" plots. Conspiracies do actually exist like the Manhattan project, MK ultra, Tuskegee, Iran Contra, etc. Like the mainstream audiences for news has been fooled into thinking all conspiracies are of the same essence and that they're all fringe without basis in fact.

        Do people really not know that the CIA no shit invented the term conspiracy theory to discredit people putting the pieces together?

      Then someone pops in and is like “yeah the planes were CGI! Also the moon landings were fake! And Regan tricked everyone into thinking the earth is flat!” And then you have to go about debunking that shit so people don’t think us commies are crazy.

      Actually, you've got it backwards -- Reagan was flat and the moon is CGI. The moon used to be real (and therefore the moon landing wasn't faked), but Michael Bay blew up the moon back in the 90's because he was so committed to practical effects for the movie Armageddon.

          Funny thing is that that would be ridiculously easy to do.

          The iPhone keyboard actually expands the touch radius of "likely" keys as you're typing. They could just program it to do less of that based on purchase date.

          But what's actually happening is that nobody bothered to make that feature work with swipe-to-type. If you turn off swipe-to-type your typing accuracy will go up 2x.

          Also they transitioned the spellchecker from a fixed dictionary to a stupid AI thing at some point.
