#redherring — Public Fediverse posts

Clearly someone is getting seriously high on his own supply! What heck is a “production-intent prototype”.... Yowzers!!

My Prediction: "Huminoid" robots will ultimately be a giant Red Herring. Robots will be purpose built. Huminoid versions will nichey at best. https://www.brentdoncaster.com/post/technologies-greatest-red-herrings

Musk's view = Tesla will deliver 1 million Optimus robots. Tesla’s robots will “actually create a world where there is no poverty, where everyone has access to the finest medical care". Optimus “will be an incredible surgeon". Ok. Sure. Ya. Got it. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-wants-strong-influence-over-the-robot-army-hes-building/

The flagpole is a red herring. The user is the gnomon, stand on the month in the central strip, and remember it is GMT.

Occam's Knife Game:

People who are in deep denial about what they nonetheless know to be the truth will offer up every explanation they can imagine except the correct one in an effort to sustain their denial. You can tell they understand the truth of the matter, because of how carefully and completely they avoid it.

#Ramaswamy is a piece of shit. Full stop. #Clergy members are not forced to #officiate #weddings they oppose. That's just a flat-out #lie. And someone's #sexualOrientation, or #genderIdentity isn't an "#ideology". It's a biological fact. #Children cannot be #indoctrinated into being #gay, or #trans. All his so-called complaints amount to a #redHerring based on intentional #falsehoods. Nobody this #dishonest should ever be elected #president.

I title my journals based on changing themes. They provide the cornerstone for the mise en scène of my writing. A month into a new book and I’ve got nothing. So, I’m trying to define the device. Is it a #fetish, a #muse, a #MacGuffin, a #redHerring, a #philosophersStone, a #huntingBlind, an #f(x)? What device do you use to better observe the ineffable? As a quasi “throw away,” what duty have we to identify with it, serve it, thank it, or let it go? #writersBlock #themeBlock #commodification

Rule #1 of counterdisinfo: DON'T PICK UP THE IDIOT BALL.

That means, when the #GQP is rolling out one of their endless disgusting psyop nothingburgers, don't amplify it in the process of critiquing it.

Don't fall for the false equivalency. If you hear yourself saying: "Well, yeah we really should find out why Biden had those classified documents." Or "You know we really should, at long last, get control of our borders, this can't continue."

What you're doing is validating shit that has nothing to do with reality. It's ALL red herrings.

Not even the most batshit republicans are remotely concerned about the contents of their #idiotballs.

(Because they're all pure power plays.)

They're designed to confuse and deflect.

The #tabs change in #Firefox though clumsily wide, especially on a #laptop can be mitigated with this fancy footwork, for now at least.

We think #CompactMode ought be the default – not deprecated.

It's all a bit of a #redHerring, though.

We examined whether #WorkOffline mode is added to about:config — it hasn't. Thus it seems #Mozilla have completely decimated the #OfflineMode asfaras we can see.

'Work Offline' mode saves #batteryDrain, and limits #surveillance…

IT'S GONE.

The #wealthy in London have been working overtime to redefine #WhatBrexitActuallyMeans. The whole #chlorinatedChicken, #US food debacle, and #NHS #fearMongering are a #redHerring and #falseChoice.

Farage wasn't supposed to win. He stepped down to allow the #BBC to ask on a daily basis, "but what does Brexit actually mean?" Its not about chicken. It was about lowering immigration to sensible numbers. #Britons are being misdirected.

#UKIP or #BrexitParty may be more genuine but unsure.
