yes! this type of headline is essentially misinformation???? this is twitter-level mincing of words and an embarrassment to real reporters everywhere.
this type of post should not be allowed, not as real news, and not as c/nottheonion content either. clown behavior.
horrific to see the fear of losing literally everything derided as “fee fees getting hurt.”
anyone who actually thinks florida sinking memes are funny is clearly coming from a place of notable privilege or affluence. i’d expect this kind of behavior from r/conservative, but i guess some of the neoliberal community are showing their true colors right here on c/climate.
“fuck the poor lmao i only care about the aesthetics of climate activism; the actual harm of climate change on the ground is irrelevant to me.”
my heart goes out to all the families and responders who will be impacted by this ♥️
hoping governments can act on this data and shore up funds in preparation to minimize the inevitable damage and to provide aid afterwards
idk what the deleted comment said but yeah praying on “this being the year florida sinks” is not it, come on.
do we actually think the rich landowners are going to feel any regret when they lose their property? hell naw dude they are gonna move and probably get sick insurance payouts as well. and the places they move to? they’re gonna slide in with higher purchasing power and outbid local low income families from their own homes.
when in the history of capital has natural calamity hurt the wealthy more than the working class poor? with peace and love, get absolutely so fkn real lmao. human beings have a right to homes, and not to be uprooted from those homes because of the whims of an oppressive and immoral upper class.
this “florida bad” dialogue is sickening to me. places like florida don’t come about without consistent and potent oppression. playing into this meme that entire populations are better off participating in forced migration is scarily victim blame-y and disconnected as hell from peoples’ lived reality.
i can’t and nor do i want to because my instance admin did me the blessed service of defederating threads ❤️
lowkey tired of being able to guess the exact snarky deadpan top comment before opening the post
no hate to you commenter. :) its a funny comment and the world is fucked i just wish we could for once be genuinely happy and celebrate that engineers are helping us do better
fair, but wasn’t obvious to me so i figured i’d share my findings for others who didn’t get the joke.
This is satirizing the view of people who feel observational studies - studies in which everyone is treated with the experimental medicine and the response of the entire group is evaluated - aren't clear enough or rigorous enough to prove that a drug works. True, these studies sometimes lack the clarity of a perfect randomized double-blind study, but as we see with the parachute, sometimes the results are pretty clear anyway. And in a life-or-death situation, no one wants to take the chance on a placebo. In other words, the "advocates of evidence based medicine" are being "challenged" with a little sarcasm.

this is satire/trolling, not an answer.
okay gotcha thanks for the clarification! love me an internet discussion that ends with me being smarter
wait can you clarify? this comment made me more confused /gen if you are willing
misleading headline, and it’s not even close.
“residents beg mayor”
no they didn’t. the article doesn’t cite one singular instance of a resident asking the mayor to stop the eclipse. what it does cite is an off hand, likely facetious/joke comment by said mayor in relation to a bridge that is under construction.
of course, this fact didn’t stop the author from running with this absolute lie, the media entity from publishing the deception, and most of the comments here are falling for the perversion of truth and are clowning on and smearing an entire township.
pardon me if this comment is overly serious. i get this is a satire-of-satire community but holy smokes we need to have better standards for our media. if they can get away with this white lie, imagine what they do every other day when lives are on the line.
