Where is your source of objective truth?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (13 children)

The original source. Be it scientific white papers, court filings, executive orders, the actual text of bills submitted in the house and senate. Etc, etc.

You just have to put in the effort.

I'm still waiting for the bill that states what happened in Nice last week. /j

This makes me feel like I'm being left out of an inside joke. I don't like it lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The joke is that not everything (or almost nothing) that gets reported can be viewed from a lens of "objective truth". Your examples wouldn't be able to give me information of a statement that someone did, or if something happened... anywhere.

Those were just examples, I wasn't trying to limit the scope, hence the "etc. etc." bit at the end. My point was to verify for yourself. Statements and events can be verified in their own ways. Such as video footage or the minutes recorded during government hearings.

That still only covers a tiny fraction of what is reported. Objectivity in the real world is an illusion.

you objectively die from lava

Yeah, but the real world usually revolves around more complicated questions than "do you die from lava?"
