The event attracted a ludicrous number of boats, to the point where the wake was not controllable.
the rich folk with the bigger boats ignored the poor folk with the smaller boats and just made waves anyway.
Nearly all flat earthers agree the earth is not a globe.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
If we are not speculating then we must assume
Quote from: Tumeni on September 08, 2020, 10:43:37 AMThe two are not mutually exclusive.Indeed. It just so happens that one of them happened, and the other one you made up on the spot.
The causes I have seen cited are choppy conditions and large wakes. A large wake is what would happen if a large was proceeding without adequate care for the environment around it.
Authorities say the choppy water was likely caused by the large number of vessels moving closely together on Lake Travis, near the state capital, Austin.[...]"We responded to multiple calls of boats in distress, several of them sank," she [Travis County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kristen Dark] said. "We had an exceptional number of boats on the lake today... When they all started moving at the same time, it generated significant waves."

A large wake is what would happen if a large was proceeding without adequate care for the environment around it. If large boats proceeding without sufficient care was the root of the problem, then why do authorities say that it was something else (large numbers of boats suddenly moving in unison)?
it's perfectly possible for both to apply, and for authorities or press to only quote one, for reasons of brevity, time constraints in broadcasts, or word limits in print articles.

Do you think their understanding of the situation is worse than that of Tumeni, a bloke living 5000 miles away who routinely peppers his stories with "Trump bad" propaganda while omitting crucial facts? Per the BBC article I've linked:Quote from: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54045115Authorities say the choppy water was likely caused by the large number of vessels moving closely together on Lake Travis, near the state capital, Austin.[...]"We responded to multiple calls of boats in distress, several of them sank," she [Travis County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kristen Dark] said.

Quote from: honk on September 05, 2020, 05:27:33 PMIt's not really racism so much as it is deliberate anti-progressivism for the benefit of his base. Trump almost certainly knows nothing about the training beyond what he's heard in the right-wing media that first reported on this, and I have no doubt that said reporting quote-mined and twisted the contents of the training to make it sound as awful as possible. It's an ugly gesture, but in the long run it won't mean much. This kind of training is more about protecting employers in case of a lawsuit than it is about actually educating employees. People who already agree with it don't need it, and the people who don't agree with it are just going to mock it.Describe to me what the training contains.

That's what cults or the brainwashed do. Chant stock phrases to show they're part of the cult, or as a result of being brainwashed.Or from fear of reprisal from the Dear Leader and his henchmen.

In other news, DJT is fighting to prevent the courts receiving a DNA sample from him. A sample which would certainly exonerate him in the rape case under consideration, were he to be innocent of the charge levied.Let that sink in for a moment. Why would a truly innocent person not want to do this?
