It's actually very hard to know the truth nowadays. I follow this forum because I view it as the closest thing to achieving truthfulness. Look at so many blowhards on many topics (myself included). Generally, people go by what feels right because there's so much data out there, some right, some wrong, it's hard to know the truth. We dont have time in 1 lifetime to dive down every rabbit hole on literally everything. If we did do that, there would be no time left for anything else. That's supposing you have the best digging skills and find the truth every time.
This has led to a world of "experts" because surely I don't know everything, but I can know a couple things, I can be an "expert" on those topics. Whose to say my expertise is right on the topic I do a huge dig on? Some people do the same job for a lifetime. That does not make them a skilled worker in their field. Some show up and "get it" and they figure out how to do the job better than "seasoned veterans"
I don't necessarily look down upon the methods this board uses. The best way, on this board, is to spit the truth, then back up that claim with valuable resources. Then, you have a win-win situation. No one (with good intentions) will attack you when you have proven your case as factual. The "reddit" like system will support you because this forum, people care more about the TRUTH than supporting a narrative. Plus, your own integrity will be vindicated and proved.
In this case, it's not really a matter of who to trust. You can go out and do some basic experiment to prove this for yourself.
Leftists like to say things like "the science is settled" and "it's not controversial, all scientists agree" when it comes to actually controversial things like climate change and shit. But in a case like this, it's obvious because you can literally measure it for itself. It's as settled as saying "this piece of paper is larger than this piece of paper" because you can just compare them.
I've noticed this phenomenon on Reddit and I see it here. It's a problem with the format, that's not really fixable, besides encouraging people to not assume a commenter on reddit is right just because they have upvotes.
What happens is people who aren't familiar with the topic read it and it reads like someone who knows what they're talking about. They find it interesting, so they upvote it. This props it up, so it gets more upvotes as more people see it, and it gets a bunch of replies commending it.
Then someone reads it and is like "what, this is plainly wrong" and makes a comment. That comment then gets downvoted and buried by people who were convinced by the original comment, and now feel "wronged" by the person saying that they're wrong. It's bizarre how a comment can amass near instant support out of nowhere.
I noticed my Starlink internet was great until spring. Then I cut down a tree and it was made great again. Then a component failed and I was frustrated yet again and dumped them (plus they raised the prices)
Well yeah, sattelite is problematic and not the best solution for people in modern cities who have access to dedicated fiber lines or trunks off of
What are you using instead of Starlink now?
Good to know the penguins have internet
Breezeline 🤢
DSL. I would prefer fiber optic.
At the end of the day, whether we're hard core researchers or newbies we're all speculating. No information is concrete and even if Q posts something we shouldn't take it as gospel.
Let's just say it's less culty here than most places, but still, there's some die hard Q fans who thinks Q is god here, and that's not good.
