We’ve got a bunch of new people now so let’s bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I’ll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being “creepy” through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

The version I hear the most is “everyone does it” as if that makes it somehow acceptable, and its associated cliche “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” from so-called “hackers” that get their takes from so called “Hacker News.”

I had “nothing to hide” back when cancel culture wasn’t a thing and the “rules” weren’t in constant flux

From another recent comment of yours, for context.

(When really Milo was just outed as a pedo, which is how most people get canceled these days)

HMMM.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Sure is a bad thing that “canceling” happens that way to you, huh?

Your shirt about missing a time when you could get away with sex pestery/bigotry is getting so many questions asked about the shirt you’re wearing that implies that you used to get away with sex pestery/bigotry.
