What Else Did You Expect @bananas-andstuff - Tumblr Blog

An NYPD officer filmed using a banned chokehold to subdue a suspect will not face a disciplinary trial and will instead retire and lose his accrued overtime and vacation days.

A detective with the NYPD who was caught by a security camera violently using what’s being widely called a “banned” chokehold and a Taser to subdue a suspect while responding to a noise complaint will not face a departmental disciplinary trial and will instead enter retirement, albeit with a slimmer wallet, the New York Daily News reported Friday evening.

According to the report, Det. Fabio Nunez chose to retire and forfeit his accrued overtime and vacation hours at the “insistence” of Police Commissioner Dermot Shea — all because of the encounter.

By “this guy” they mean Randall Park who has since had guest spots in a bunch of sitcoms, starred in Fresh Off the Boat and was in Ant Man and the Wasp.

please please please teach your children to cook while they still live under your roof. even the most elementary things can’t be overlooked. because i just had to show my 24 year old boyfriend how to use a potato peeler and now i need to lay down for an hour

i hate this post because it just proves that like.. no simple statement can just be absorbed and the general population of tumblr go ‘yeah that sounds about right.’ i’ve had nazis say it’s a woman’s job to cook, terfs say that it’s only ‘males’ who don’t know how to cook, people have accused me of being classist because some people don’t own potatio peelers, called a bitch for airing out my boyfriend’s dirty laundry (which if the most embarrassing thing i can procure about the guy is that he’s not great in the kitchen i’d say he’s okay lmao)

just shut up and teach your fucking children to cook holy shit dude

Nearly 40% of United States Marines who have been offered the COVID-19 vaccine have declined it, according to the Pentagon.

Of the 123,500 Marines that have had access to the vaccine, 75,500 Marines are either fully vaccinated or have only received one dose while about 48,000 have declined it, Communication Strategy and Operations Officer Capt. Andrew Woods told USA TODAY.

“We fully understand that widespread acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine provides us with the best means to defeat this pandemic. The key to addressing this pandemic is building vaccine confidence,” he said, confirming a statistic first reported by CNN.

Woods said the Navy and Marine Corp were working to ensure that soldiers have accurate information about the safety of the vaccine and want to encourage people to get it.

And you certainly can’t research anything on the Internet if you don’t go to credible and authoritative sources. Unfortunately, conspiracy theorists like those devoted to QAnon, tell their followers, “Do your research,” but they also tell them that they cannot trust the most credible sources; consequently, their followers do their “research” on the least credible sites on the Internet.

Furthermore, even if they find information, most people don’t know how to analyze it critically. They often confuse correlation with causation and get bogged down in confirmation bias.

Ron Watkins (the guy the filmmaker Cullen Hoback thinks is “Q”) said in his recent famous “slipup” in Q: Into the Storm:

“It was basically three years of intelligence training, teaching normies how to do intelligence work.”

Unfortunately, Watkins wasn’t “teaching” anyone how to do real “intelligence work” or good research. He was teaching them to do bad research and to think about the “evidence” they found in a convoluted manner–like conspiracy theorists do. 🤦‍♀️

As a trained library technician, I can tell you right now that a lot of people do not know how to distinguish a reliable, credible source from a BS one. Add to that search algorithms from Google (and Facebook) that will bring back the same type of articles that you clicked on and you have a *massive* case of confirmation bias. Plus, loads of people don’t bother to read the article, just the headline. Telling people to do their research is useless unless they are thaught the critical thinking skills necessary to do so. Something that is lacking in about every school curriculum around the world.

The need to teach critical thinking skills, Internet literacy skills, and basic research skills in high schools. Many colleges do teach these skills but not everyone goes to college.
