Not random questions but I thought I'd write a list of questions to help me talk with conspiracy theory people. This is coming up more and more. I want to be fair and admit that I don't know everything about every situation but I'm not going jump onto any crazy stuff because I don't know all the details. Can you think of any more?
1 What is the event and what are the various explanations? 2 Does someone have to be unreasonably competent to successfully fulfil the claim? 3 Is the proposal complicated and dependent on lots of things happening? 4 How many people need to keep a secret for the plan to work? 5 What is the scale of the ambition of the person or group behind the plan? 6 Do events follow logically from each other? 7 Are events given "sinister" significance? 8 Which parts are facts and which parts are speculation? 9 Who is telling this portrayal of events and what else would they like me to believe? 10 Can we outright reject an explanation? 11 Is evidence being chosen to selectively support an idea? 12 How long ago did these events take place?
Is there any reason to play the first Witcher game? I have it, and the second, but it's so mind-numbingly boring and Not Fun to play that I want to skip it. For the record, I'm in Vizima and am in the middle of the autopsy quest.
It turns out they're all the same interaction. It's like watching the same bad movie over and over again. You can see exactly where it's going.
It's a great example of self delusion. If you're life is all cocked up, you're unhappy, things suck... can't be your fault, it must be an over arching conspiracy against you.
I find some entertaining. I especially like the Reptilians. The regular Illuminati conspiracy just annoys me because for some reason its always linked to Satanism and because its like they're almost there. Its not some singular group out to get everyone. Corrupt people with money and power use corruption to keep their money and power.
Here's something interesting for you - that whole reptillians/reptoids thing can be traced back to ONE SPECIFIC GUY. We actually know who the originator for that conspiracy theory is. And since you're wondering now, it's David Icke.
My parents are visiting in the US and asked if I wanted anything. What is a really authentic American bourbon? I know a fair bit about various whiskeys but nothing about bourbon.
My news app for Android just died (circa news) anyone know of a good news app for Android? Something that grabs headline type stuff across a broad spectrum of topics and is reliable.
Have your folks get Kentucky Bourbon from what I remember it's the only state that can claim on the bottle that it's Kentucky Bourbon. Bourbon is an actual place in Kentucky if I'm not mistaken.

Not in fact true. Any Bourbon can claim to be Kentucky Bourbon - not putting that on the bottle is a gentleman's agreement at best. There might be an obscure US law regarding it, but frankly, I've not heard of it.
The place you're thinking of is Bourbon County. There's some debate as to which is named after the other, as unfortunately, there's practically zero documentation regarding the early history of Bourbon.

I think the law is regarding "Tennessee Whiskey" which somehow Jack Daniels got the lock on it.

I wonder how many politicians have said that on camera and should be shamed as being un-American.
Speech should always be defeated with more speech, no?
