I think it'd be more appropriate for this to instead be posted to !trippinthroughtime@lemmy.ca. IIUC, this community is for old and stale memes that aren't used anymore.

Based, imo.

[…] Anyone stupid enough to believe obvious rubbish doesn’t care what your source is.

I do understand your point, I think. I've had an ongoing quandary regarding how one should effectively debate irrationality. But I still personally believe that one's allegiance to the truth is a matter of principle rather than a matter of pragmatism. I think sources should be cited not necessarily with the intent of using them as ammunition to prove an argument, but mainly for one to ground themselves in evidence based thinking.

Thank you for the source 🙂

[…] We havent (and shouldnt) dismantle it just because it can be abused.

I hesitantly agree, though I would clarify that I don't think that's an argument for not improving the justice system.

[…] the ever going „we win, you lose, and you‘ll be happy about it“ does in fact have an antidote […]

I would argue that the antidote is compassion.

[…] Which is why I’ll also assert that Literature classes as taught in later high school and into college aren’t really designed to be communication proficiency classes but art appreciation classes. […]

I think this is a fair point to make. I agree. Though, I would like to point out that that isn't me downplaying "art appreciation", but I agree that it is different than a subject targeted at improving clear communication.

I don't follow how your point(s) relate to this post's topic.

For the sake of clarity, do you think that journalist should directly cite their sources in their work? Or, perhaps, more specifically, under what circumstances do you think a journalist should directly cite their sources in their work?

As the defense industry consolidated, TI sold its defense business to the Raytheon Company in 1997 for $2.95 billion. […] ^[1]

My PC is still largely the same, in general spirit, as when I built it (c 2014-2015). But I have had to upgrade some key components over time. First was the move from a 1TB WD Blue HDD to a Samsung 860 Pro 128GB SSD (for my OS's drive), and, related to that, at some point soon after, I moved my games drive from an HDD to an SSD. Next, I upgraded my GPU from an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080. This build state lasted a decently long time until I switched from Windows to Linux, so I switched my Nvidia GPU to an AMD Radeon RX 6600 (not exactly an upgrade, but more of a side-grade) to improve the user experience. The most recent change (last year, iirc?) was upgrading my RAM from 8GB DDR3, to 16GB DDR3. My CPU (Intel Core i5-4690k) is starting to really show its age, though, so I've been wanting to upgrade that, but that will likely entail a near rebuild of my entire system, so I've been avoiding it, but, unfortunately, it's increasingly becoming more of an issue.

Ha, punishable on summary conviction (it's mentioned in the post's cited law).

Canada had anti-fraudulent witchcraft laws.

I'll update the title accordingly. I think it's important to specify what you've stated, for clarity.
