        What I’ll never fully understand are the ostensibly capable knowledge workers that believe the shit Trump says. Our web admin hurts my heart. “Dude, I know you know how to fact check.” In their case, it’s just Christianity.

            Lol I made a comment to another engineer at work that was something like “idk how an engineer could ever be religious due to the fact many think logically”

            Turns out he was very Christian oops

          Intelligent people can also be indoctrinated into a cult. Probably only takes a bit longer.

        Holy balls. I used to be an instructor in the career retraining field, so I believed your numbers. Trust, but verify: https://www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literacy-statistics-2024-2025-where-we-are-now

        Hmmm I wonder how accurate this is. It’s very hard to believe that 75% of Americans read below a 6th grade level. Not sure if that’s a testament to how good 6th graders read or not. Or is that 54% inclusive of those that are also illiterate?

          It’s almost certainly inclusive.

  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
