"Upon information and belief, Joe Herrington is a person with special needs," the lawsuit said. "Despite such knowledge, Defendant failed to properly train Joe Herrington before, and while, Joe Herrington performed his duties as Defendant's employee."

But you assume they are an "illegal alien border crosser" who doesn't speak english, not because you are racist of course just an honest mistake any non-racist could make.

To send the mesage "We are so confident that in our intelligence that we know all the tech on it and don't need to take a look and see at it".

Which tends to cause bouts of paranoia in counter intelligence services and that causes purges which do more harm to your opposition than the benefit from downing it.

I don't think the technical details matter, you can just ignore the tech babble you don't care about.

There was a bug of some sort in X.Org Server, to make that still work the kernel (the operating system level code) disabled whatever it was that the buggy code misused. But it did that by just doing that for every single program whose name starts with "X" .

X.Org Server code has since been changed to not do that, but the kernel still has that work around, so any other programs that happen to start with the letter X trigger the silly kernel code.

"I took X and I got better" is anecdotal evidence. There are plenty of people who took Ivermectin and got better - so there is certainly anecdotal evidence.

Most people who get covid get better with or without taking Ivermectin, so it's completely useless, but it is by definition anecdotal evidence.

> It's also "blind belief" - people seem to think that if they see it on the news, it MUST be true. After all, it's the news!

That doesn't seem to be the case at all, for example: https://news.gallup.com/poll/3... and https://news.gallup.com/poll/3...

Of course there's a chunk of people who declare that the "mainstream news is fake" while believing anything a giant news company tells them to.
