It's gotten to a point where I just go ahead append a warning that I have no source and am just making casual conversation.

Source: my previous comment on Lemmy.

Family Member: Russia needs to invade Ukraine because they need a shield against NATO.

Me: But NATO wasn't going to attack them. It's a defensive organization.

That's what THEY want you to believe. (Was not able to clarify who "they" were during conversation, but got the impression it wasn't nato)

I rather have a source to support a claim instead of "but it's how I feel so it's real! Scientists don't know anything, stop debunk my feelings with facts because I know I'm right! I read it on Facebook!"

We need more reliable and supported sources and less fake news.

You get people who believe jet contrails only started appearing in the 90s even though that they didn’t is literally within living memory.

Isn’t 2034 when we start 1970 again? Except without water.

Don't worry. It won't happen like this. There will be no one left.

F'real I think my kids have had maybe one snow day so far, and my oldest is in second grade. We live in southeast Mass.

I thought about buying a new snowblower, but the fact is that I think we had maybe one storm in the past 5 or 6 years where I actually would've used my old one. The little dustings we had were easily cared for by a shovel.

I also have a part of my driveway that has a lot of tree overhang and never really gets much snow on it. It also happens that the winter morning sun has a direct path to this patch of asphalt, so if we get only an inch or two, it'll all melt away as soon as the sun comes up. Assuming it's not too overcast.
