BILLY: You have proven to be incapable of discerning the accuracy and credibility of stories. Things you find 'interesting' tend to be wrong, out of date, or deliberate bullshit. Please work harder before posting crap no matter how 'interesting' you find it.Thanks for that! I did not author the poll, but found it interesting, so shared it.
Here are some tips for how to discern the quality and accuracy of information before spreading it like diseased diarrhea:
1) Check relevant dates of data. Is it older than a couple months? If so, it's probably useless in a fast-moving conflict. Is there anything more recent? If not, consider NOT SHARING OLD SHIT.
2) Google author or entity responsible for data for their credibility and track record; look up funding sources if an org, review social media posts if a person. If they like conspiracy theories, or are funded by the Kochs and Larry Ellison, consider NOT SHARING BULLSHIT
3) Google previous data from the source and check them for accuracy; see who amplified it. If russian bots, RWNJs, or the new york post shares it, consider NOT SHARING AGITPROP SHIT
