guys, please don't be like this retard. it discredits everything else you say that is actually real.
@beardalaxy i mean, isn't well known that chuck berry just ripped off calvin klein (marty mcfly) and then built a career of just milking the same riff for decades
@beardalaxy Q: which retard? The one emphasizing this woman that nobody has ever heard of and probably particularly matter even if completely real, or the one mocking it in a trivially discredited way and to no other effect?
A: both
This happened in 2016 with Q.
ridiculous claim: this guy exists with a "Q-class" security clearance
ridicule: lmao, no such thing exists
trivial discredit: wikipedia DOE link that demonstrates a Q-class clearance that never mattered and doesn't matter and doesn't remotely support Q's ridiculous story
And it happens every day with politicians and even lolcows. The error is to ridicule the claim in such a way that requires you to have expertise and knowledge that you don't actually have. You are presented with a very low bar and asked to step over it, and instead of stepping over it you try to leap backwards over it and break your neck. There is rarely actually a need to dispute a claim on its own terms.

@beardalaxy and here there is no need to say anything but "good for her". It also doesn't matter that Egypt had a black Pharoah, or even if black people "taught whites to bathe". Good for those black people that taught whites to bathe! Nothing actually follows from any of these claims.
Any time you are reflexively disputing a factoid, you could instead grant it and get back to talking about your own facts, or about any actual point. You can skip "that never happened" and get right to "if it happened, they deserved it"

Calling people dumb niggers is always the most succinct and effective form of dismissal.
