You can read further on the idea here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie-to-children and the reason I ring the issue up is A) TikTok is inherently a bad platform for spreading information that all of us will need to accurately apply to our own survival and B) Climate change is affecting all of us (I'm working on solutions for my own immediate family and friends for example) and thus we NEED to be correct in our understanding of solutions to deal with it.

You're misunderstanding me. The issue is the tiktoker has reduced the dozens of methods Singapore is implementing just to get to a 2C temp reduction to "special paint." Low Emissivity Coatings are indeed effective but they're A) not as effective as the tiktoker presents (about 25% less effective in fact) and B) not the only thing Singapore is doing and thus C) not the "sole" solution as this tiktoker presents to reducing climate change impacts

And here we see YOU suggesting that "you can survive in space by putting a round fishbowl on your head" is not objectively wrong lol. What I'm talking about here is a notion that Terry Pratchet valled "Lies to Children," where attempts to simplify complex topics result in them becoming objectively wrong.

Remember, anything good or bad you hear coming out of China is generally SO MUCH WORSE than reported because China's government is like Putin's or Kim's (and what Trump aspires to have) and thus ALWAYS seeks to ignore or downplay problems

To illustrate the flaw here, the tiktoker is essentially saying "you can survive in space by putting a spherical fishbowl on your head!" It's a reduction of the topic to the point that it becomes objectively wrong.

The bullshit is that the tiktoker is reducing a complex system of efforts designed to produce the gains they talk about to "special paint." Low Emissivity Coatings might be colloquially referred to as "special paint," but are just one of several tactics Singapore is employing to reduce the immediate consequences of climate change.

Notice how your study says 1.5 degrees and the Tiktoker says 2? Low emissivity coatings are one of dozens of tactics that are being applied by Singapore and other countries in attempts to counteract the immediate impacts of climate change.

The bullshit is that this tiktoker is reducing an extremely complex topic to "special paint," because tiktok doesn't allow effective explanation of complex topics and instead encourages quick soundbites that are patently wrong.

Yes I hear it all the damn time from liberals who insist I must be a Russia loving Trump supporter because I dared criticize the Democrats from the left.

Today in "unsourced tiktok nonsense that is patently bullshit" we see OP's claims that "special" paint is what's "cooling" singapore.

I mean, rich people raping people at Trump Tower is more the rule than the exception, so that's not exactly implausible

#2 semi popular opinion, the black stripe sucks, the black chevron and the addition of chevrons to the rainbow flag look far, far better because they immediately make the flag recognizeably different.

weird it's almost like OP is actually advertising their shitty book rather than actually interested in any moral message

No one who thinks Trump has any faculties left is going to watch this video, meaning it's just a circlejerk for the choir.

And all the states without early voting are states where Trump is working hardest to win. Your proposals fail at every hurdle, because they're fundamentally based on the idea that a guy who has openly said he plans to manipulate and rig and election won't rig it in one way, only in another.

Reminds me of my friend Perfectlyred who at one point went to a con wearing the "Mega Milk" meme t-shirt

No, you literally don't have to do it, and telling people that they shouldn't vote by mail is just making Trump's plans to sabotage mail-in voting easier.

You don't even realize that everyone disabled and on deployment HAS to vote by mail, for example. With your post you're telling them they shouldn't even bother voting.

The source is government annual releases. 10% of reported crimes lead to an arrest, and 90% of arrests are convicted based on plea deals rather than beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of peers. For examples of why plea deals are not at all factual see the balloon boy "hoax," where cops used threats of deportation to force an innocent man to accept a plea deal where he pled guilty. 10% of 10% is 1% of crimes leading to a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of peers.

The 51% statistic for murders is specific to the NYPD iirc, the 90% figure is for ALL crimes reported

a tik tokker saying unsourced shit to camera claiming it's gonna break the internet. Sounds fake to me.

Cops successfully convict just 1% of people who actually commit the crime. 9% of reported crimes aren't convicted beyond a reasonable doubt by a jury of peers and 90% of reported crimes never see any arrests at all. No wonder this dumbass thought he could admit the crime and cops would do nothing

all categories used to divide people are artificial and largely based on european colonialism.

Notice how all the Canadian nationalists are far more active and nobody is talking about all of the innocent people Trump is currently throwing in concentration camps? That's why

Sure and unless you get someone to replace him who intends to turn the "Get fucked" faucet off this won't magically stop just by removing him.

Yup, that's literally the foundation of capitalism. As long as we have a capitalist world the "get fucked" tap will always be on

Your post was so good that Kill James Bond has actually come to a similar conclusion about EVERY heist movie. Namely they've been developing the theory that every heist movie needs to have a Waingro

That is one of the reasons, yes. There are many. Now do not misunderstand me, Trump's policies have not helped at all, but the US economy is literally built to jack up your cost of living over time in an effort to funnel money into the rich. The "Get fucked" tap is effectively always on, what Trump has done is merely turn it up
