Hard to believe how many of us there actually are, yet social media has conditioned us into believing a website is dead unless it has 50 million daily visitors.

We certainly aren't hurting for content (well, yes, we are, but the archive is being built as we speak.)

I assume they are on Lemmy.

Good job, guys.

I once had a Republican tell me he was, "black woke, not trans woke."

I told him I didn't know what that meant, and he said, "I don't hate people for who they are, but people can't just be whatever they want to be."

Cue the Nathan Fielder meme of him just saying, "oh... Okay."

People always told me that Grimes was super smart, but every time she opens her mouth, it's some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard. She is the guy we all knew in high school, the one who takes mushrooms and stares at Tool album covers, and expects the rest of us to pretend they are brilliant.

This chick literally wrote an open letter to communists, saying that if they support Elon Musk, he will use AI to bring a communist system.

If she were to ever shut up, it may dawn on her that she is actually a fucking idiot, and we can't have that, so she never shuts the fuck up.

My boss throws a tantrum if anybody is late to his weekly hour long meetings. He spends the first 30 minutes talking about football and asking us what our favorite dishes are.

People acting more terrified at the loss of tik tok from their lives than they did during covid, while losing people from their lives.

Tik tok might as well just change their name to empathy box, because they have convinced their users that the act of watching content on empathy box makes them more moral and politically aware than the rest of us.

At the end of the day, we have to be nervous when a foreign nation has content reach to 80℅ of Americans. This foreign nation is banning Americans from accusing it of genocide while allowing an economic incentive for Americans to accuse themselves and everybody else of doing it.

Deep down, every one of us knows tik tok is a power nobody can or should be trusted with.

We should give a famous painter a show where we don't allow them to paint, just ask for their unqualified opinions on literally anything.

When you threw Mankind off the top of the cage at Hell in the Cell?

Good.

Let's go further. Any company using an algorithm to profit off people's engagement has to publish the code.

So the homeless should be exploited for illegally low wages (a form of slavery) just like we treat certain immigrants?

If your advice to people to help them get out of homelessness is to allow themselves to enter a slave market, you are part of the problem.

The way this is worded...

I dont think this is to go after minorities. It will have that effect, at least for minorities who received a promotion or position change within the last 4 months, but that isn't the goal here.

This is to lay the groundwork to fire a very specific person. Somebody the president likely doesn't have the ability to unilaterally fire himself, but somebody he can throw under the bus and perhaps have a show trial thrown their way, which would begin the process to remove that person.

Question: who has the ability to block necessary parts of the administration's coming goals, can't directly be fired by the president, and has oversight over the employment contracts of federal employees?

No, Coldplay was incredibly well liked for close to a decade. The backlash against them really didn't develop until 2007/2008 when it was discovered they straight up stole a song.

Viva LA Vida was already sort of their abandonment of adult contemporary for a top 40 sound, and of course, it was released when I heart (then clear channel) was shutting down all the adult contemporary stations, so the pivot was going to happen regardless of whether they got caught or not, but it is interesting to note that their top hits since that happened have largely been written by others.

Nowadays, maroon 5 and coldplay are essentially the same band, its just a matter of who pays Max Martin more for the better song at album roll out time.

This explains some things about Joe Rogan.

...English is only 30% or so French, and essentially just adjectives. Take out adjectives and we are German babies.

Oh man, you got in the van with them and were taken to a second location?

You are lucky you actually got speakers

Tofu is 15% more expensive than it was a month ago.

We need answers now.

I mean... If your goal is to end a genocide and you help get a guy who said "finish the job" elected, yeah, it is your fault.

Let us not pretend otherwise.

I have noticed this as well. Back during the early facebook years, a "news" outlet would just generate content by posting stories like "Greenville ranked as the city with highest crime rate" every week or so.

Everybody on my facebook feed would go crazy saying things like "I always knew that town was dangerous, but to hear it outranks New York? TERRIFYING!"

Only issue is that this outlet would have 50 different URLs for the article, all giving a city in a different state (always an immigrant heavy suburb) and those articles would be appear around facebook and nobody would know the wiser.

It costs almost nothing for them to rewrite the world and your perspective about it. The granularity they are now capable of should give us pause.

I tried it once. The interview ended about 2 minutes later and I did not get the job. The rejection email said it was because I wasn't forthcoming.

Something about me everybody should know, I like big women, whether that be height or width.
