G If there are banks and pension funds with the ability to create water spouts/ tornadoes in the Med to get revenge on people that cost them billions of pounds, Liz Truss really needs to up her personal security.
Velociraptor Aug 2024 9:10am, 25 Aug 2024 70,594 posts	0 Velociraptor My mother had a random conspiracy theorist on tap for many years. I think she may have attracted him when she was campaigning against a disposal facility for potential BSE infected animal carcasses being established close to her home (she won). This chap, "Ed", had her terrified of all the social media platforms, which was probably a good thing because she'd have been a menace as a keyboard warrior. It never seemed to occur to her to question why a retired engineer and recreational IT buff in Yorkshire was being given confidential government information on multiple areas of interest or why he was passing it on to a retired nurse and recreational busybody in Scotland. She got really huffy if we questioned any of it.

Going back to the fetch conspiracy theorists, there are two others on my watchlist. It is possible they may just hold views I don’t agree with though. Which I guess might make me a potential conspiracy’s theorist in their eyes.
SailorSteve Aug 2024 12:52pm, 25 Aug 2024 2,700 posts	0 SailorSteve wrt to the “Bayesian” I believe that the ‘answer’ to the tragedy will be one of simple instability resulting from the disproportionately tall (= heavy) mast overpowering the disproportionately short (= high centre of gravity) raised keel, in exceptional (but obviously not unique wind conditions) leading to catastrophic downflooding, leading to negative buoyancy and therefore rapid sinking.

Bobs has an auntie who is just the same (possibly worse) and fervently believes the moon landings were faked and that government is actively trying to gain control of us by injecting mind-bending drugs into the water supply. Unfortunately she lives not far away and therefore I'm forced to endure her madness more regularly than I'd like.
