Sad. In a way, it is amazing that The Sims 3 is 15 years old now and still, no game is able to match it.

You made her title so convoluted I am now unsure if she is expert fact checker who combats disinformation or expert on spreading disinformation while pretending to be a fact checker. 🤔

Please be trolling or bot. How could a sentient being write something this nonsensical…

I agree, but on the other hand 12 years? This sounds more like a 12 days crime…

Look at the comment from ZeroGravitas. Even if you insist on asking the question which I don’t see why, just prefacing it with what he wrote would completely transform what it was. The issue may not even be the question but the lack of context/explanation before sharing it.

Thanks, fixed :)

A conversation yes, just not a productive one. It may have done more damage than good, since many people now associate this issue with the ragebait and don’t take it seriously.

Here’s my take: the bear thing is causing such a visceral reaction that it is very hard to take a step back, not take it personally and have a rational discussion about it.

Imo the bear thing was phrased in a way to cause that visceral reaction. It was intended to be antagonistic. If the same point was frazed the way you frazed it above, I want to believe we would have much more civil discussion about it. But instead, the posts put many male readers on the defensive and those that tried to explain were seen as defending this antagonistic stance.

That is no excuse for DM harassment or harassment on other posts, just my take on the reason the discussion turned so uncivil.

Oh no, a teenager faces zero consequences for vaping. We are doomed! /s

That being said, you are right that the allegations should not be taken as facts, especially considering they came from the same source as those deepfake lies.

Carbon tax is actually the best way to gradually get rid of fossil fuels without setting the whole economy on fire. That is why it is resisted and lobbied against far more than any other measure, such as electric car subsidies and why it probably will never happen.

… and you have a strange way of arguing your point.

That’s the issue, I am not arguing any point other than the main post is misleading. US gun laws are absolutely stupid. You desperately need a reform. I never disagreed with that. Sure, more people die of heart disease but that is much harder to fix than gun laws.

You are just projecting shit onto my comments that was never there and then get confused when I don’t disagree in the way you expect.

Yeah, deleted the comment immediately when I realized it was poorly written. My stupid habit of pressing send before proof reading.

That being said, you may want to read again yours as well. Since when does calling lies lies means I support anything?

Oh no, kids are dying. Quickly tell everyone nothing ever happened in Tiananmen Square because spreading misinformation will help apparently.

Surely only people who want kids dead would point out misinformation. /s

It says “a leading cause”, not “the leading cause”. Depending on how long your list of leading causes is, anything could qualify.

English is not my native language but this sounds like it should not be a thing. Sounds like it was made for con artists…

On the whole population where they belong instead of a carefully selected subset.

Link does not work

PS: Are you including suicides? If so, than maybe it is possible in the 1-19 age group you selected but incredibly misleading and still untrue in general population.

PS2: You can link to the data by clicking save in the top right.

… gun-related incidents, including accidents and mass shootings, have become a leading cause of death in the country.

What? Not even close.
