Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

[Meadmaker]

"US Airborne Rangers parachute in to seize a Pacific airbase, preparing for war with China"

from The Telegraph.


This is the kind of headline that really pisses me off, just because it's deliberately false. For about three seconds, I was shocked. then of course common sense kicked in, and I realized that this was going to be a story about some practice maneuver. And it was.

I truly believe that having a click-oriented media is at the root of most of the modern world problems. There is no incentive for them to actually publish news that is important. What matters is getting that click so that you can charge the advertisers.

It's the natural dead end outcome of bankers and lawyers owning anything and everything. The unbridled pursuit of profit fucks everything to the point that the original object is no longer recognizable.

News is no longer news.
Music is no longer music.
Fill in the blank is no longer...

Blank?

For the last time stank: I am not responding to your horse shit.

Forget it.

[stanky]

I think you just did.

And why so pissy?
Can't you just ignore me when it's over something more serious?
Why toss the baby with the bath water?

"Blank" was a good answer.

These absurd dividing lines do us no good.
Why would you want to only hang out with people you were in full agreement with?
How is that an educational challenge?

TA's written me off because I disagree about one particular vaccine. That's a bit 'precious'. How'd we get so thin-skinned? And in such a narrow groove?

It's hard enough to digest where half of America is at with liking Trump. If we must get more detailed in our rejections, as in, no friends that believe in God; or shoot drugs, or pack a gun...it could get pretty lonely.
I don't like cats. So what? Ignore you because you do? Seem childish. Do as you must and erase any memories of reasonable interactions because someone doesn't believe in the same god as you?

I'll survive it. But it's pretty lame.

I'm 'writing you off' too because you like to play fast and loose with the rules of debate. You pull shit out of your ass and provide no citations at all. Asking us to buy into it because you "thought it fairly obvious".

Fuck off stank.

Because this thread is about the storyline being misleading I guess you guys are probably hanging out together and having a laugh at everybody else here thinking you don't get along anymore.

Bullshit.

The vaccine is just one of many, many issues I have with your views.

You're anti-science, don't understand evidence - hence never, ever present any to back up your own statements - try shit on people who have done infinitely more for the species than you (Bill Gates) and support the absolutely crazy cunt, RFK Jr. I'm not even bothered by other idiotic positions you have, like consciousness not being material - that doesn't matter, but health sure as fuck does.

Looks like you'll get your wish on Kennedy, and he even agrees with your stupid "Fluoride is bad" bullshit and will probably condemn a generation of poor kids' teeth.

Sorry Prez. But it's true: stranky and I do not get along anymore. For reasons that I've already stated.

What a crock of shit. You haven't kept up. You can't debate. You're a bully, basically and you haven't done your homework. Fucking fluoride is a good example. See what the recent science has to say. Gates? wtf. Hopeless.
