If you could define what that actually means, that would be great.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I think it’s as good a litmus test as any. Theyre unhinged
This is the question isn’t it, I’ve asked this before and I’ve never gotten an answer
You probably thought you were so cool when you finished writing that.

When I read posts like this, I always think that someone has tried to explain critical thinking to them but they’re not quite capable of grasping it and this is their take.
I think what they are trying to say is 'research everything but believe nothing' or something like that.
I love a conspiracy theory, but only if it's based around a resemblance of truth, like 9/11, these Qanon folk seem to just believe any conspiracy that demonizes the left and/or the Clinton's/democrats and calls anyone Paedophiles/Satanists
So basically you shouldn't believe anything you read or hear, but you need to research it, but don't believe the research you read or hear as that could be biased too.
This sentence can have two wildly different meanings, depending on which part of it "like 9/11" belongs to.
I get that they’re trying to say that, but then I would ask them, or in this case here, you, to define research.
My favourite one is the Paul McCartney one. They somehow managed to find an exact lookalike who happened to have the same musical talent and style of songwriting. The Beatles were the luckiest band ever.
White text?
You Tube videos are not research.
That’s the thing, isn’t it? Research is hard. Proper research involves a a formal literature search and critical appraisal of dozens and dozens of complex and densely written publications. This is a time consuming and highly skilled task.
One of the most annoying things about conspiracy goons is when they assume that they can do “research” by getting stoned and watching youtube videos.
The Qcumbers are out in force today.
They've loads to defend. Namely, King Qcumber in Washington.

Often it simply means finding someone else saying the same things you believe, regardless of whether the evidence is stacked against it or not.
To be fair, it explains Wings.
How are we ever going to reach herd immunity if the herd is going to be decimated?
....sorry, wrong thread.
....sorry, wrong thread.
Ah the classic escape hatch technique, an attempt to win an argument without bearing the burden of proof.
Spot on and could not agree more. What I’ve seen throughout this is that their bar for “research” is confirmation bias fueled Youtube queries while they disparage the scientists who are doing the real thing. It is absolutely infuriating.
I remember having that conversation with my uncle about the first and main skill that I have been taught at the Uni. How to be an efficient librarian.

Anyone read Julia Ebner's Going Darker? Some interesting insight into these communities
It’s such a fecking grind too. I’m more than happy to leave it to legitimate experts in their field to do the hard work, then dumb it down for me.
Which makes it even more annoying to hear idiots claiming they know better than these experts after a few hours on youtube.
There's a billion and one weird things about 9/11, doesn't deserve the same kook-standing as Q garbage
It’s all part of the same narrative though. Everything happens for a reason. Powerful people carefully controlling events from behind the scenes. That’s why this shit is so popular. It’s comforting. Conspiracy theorists can’t cope with the version of reality where life is chaotic and random and nobody has a fecking clue how things will pan out.
This thread is full of sheep. Wake up, think for yourself, drink the coffee until you don't. Everyone is out to get themselves until they're in it. The show must go on, whether we let it or not. Testicles.
Or something.
The irony of conspiracy loons telling other people they should open their eyes is an endless source of joy for me.

I'm sure that was just a WUM, right guys? 
I think you're spot on there. It's comforting to believe these things as opposed to the reality.

The ending is a solid 8/10
The power of punctuation.So this shadowy elite controls everything or is it just a paedo ring, as these Qanon types believe?

Good to see Moses is doing well.
Excellent use of pronouns there Pex.
I swear this whole place is resembling James Acaster's Netflix shows at the moment.
Hope they all kissed each other on the cheek while inhaling deeply...

Absolute cretin that one is. Deep red district though so she’s a shoe in unfortunately. She’s going to be another Gym Jordan type.
