Yeah the correct tack here is just to say "someone told me that was a myth - let's look it up together."

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

It’s also good to remember, and I’ll absolutely yield to someone with more knowledge on this than I, that these statues and use of the battle flag aren’t that historical and were specifically brought into play to fight against a growing civil rights movement in the 20th century.

Yeah, that flag isn’t even THE confederate flag (I think it’s based on the Battle Flag they designed because soldiers were getting confused between the Stars and Stripes and the Stars and Bars)

This could happen if December of 2020 got a leap second. The official announcement from IERS will come in July, but it’s unlikely they’ll call for it.

DUT1 is presently −0.256146 s and predictions are that it will remain well under −0.4 s (a soft threshold for when the addition would be appropriate) through the end of the year.

It’s usually said to be the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, but that flag was square.

It’s actually a bastard child of that flag and the second Confederate naval jack.

To be clear: the Confederates never flew the iconic “Confederate flag” during the U.S. Civil War. This would seem to be a major oversight for people supposedly proud of their heritage. :thunk:

They love correcting people on a technicality as if it morally absolves their ghoulish opinions. See also what the AR in AR-15 stands for

My 8-year-old has a slightly older (10) friend, Ricky, that repeats basically everything his conspiracy theorist mom tells him, verbatim, nonstop, and this is exactly my tactic with him. "Hm, I'm not sure that's true; I've got the internet right here though, let's find out!"

the problem is much like Ricky, people with Extremely Wrong beliefs will always have another one waiting in the wings so it never ends. at least you can put the seed of doubt in them and see if you can't get them to some tiny degree of critical thought
