Put Down and Walk Away From the Grok, Althouse!

 Call this a distraction from the nazification of the American Federal Government, by orange hitler.  I have updated my coinage of orangenazi to orange hitler.  And proud of it, but sad because of the reasons I feel it is warranted.  But I am supposed to be avoiding that.  So come on trivial shit!  

Ann Althouse has long had a very annoying and childish habit of posting trashy and or trendy articles, and acting as if that stupid shit was really real.  For example, she got on a tangent today, based on the specifically Italian variant of an old wives' tale.  Ya know the one about catching cold?  That shit.  Asking rhetorical questions as if?  As if that is biologically or medically true?

Hey lady!  You are connected to the WWW!  A simple search query,  and reading what some reputable medical entity or MD says, can answer that.  And in my words.  Fuck no!  Fuck no!  You don't catch cold, or the Italian version of the fuck no not real wives' tale, "colpo d’aria,"  and get sick that way.  

"Colds" are caused by germs.   I learned that actually before I was 16 and took that class in Bacteriology.  But that class really hammered in the truth of it.  The kids in the class were given petri dishes.  That we planted in various places, just to see what germs would grow over a week or two.

But let me be clear.  She is free to do and repeat whatever ignorant nonsense she likes.  And I am free to call her out on it.  Ignorant!  I  believe in her right to be wrong.  And I believe in my right to mock her for it.

Speaking of earned mockery.  She still is pumping shit into Grok, and publishing the returns as if it is anything a reasonable, rational person should follow.  Like I said.   I  believe in her right to be wrong.  But seriously, lady.  Grok?  The AI owned by muskrat?  Seriously?

In the interest of full disclosure.  I went on a tear lately.  I was trying to change my google to properly function without abusing me by throwing some shitty AI response at the top of my return search list.  In short.  I ended up changing the default search engine it uses to duckduckgo.  So I am spared the mind killing shit that is what ever AI that google uses.  However, I still get suggested top returns from the duck.   They have an AI there too, but it is optional.  Less of an Orwellian horror than other  search AI.  And not really a chatbot.  So yeah.  Less of a mind killer.  

Why keep your own critical thinking skills sharp, when you can let some billionaire bozo or the weird little shits who work for them spoon feed you what they want you to believe?  I will tell you bitches why!  Because Descartes was correct.  "Cogito ergo sum!"

Here is a screenshot from some article that matches my opinion.  So it must be the correct answer.

(I know it doesn't really work that way.  I trust that the study was legit, I do say.)
