That handful of people also know how to make an uprising difficult, they realised tiktok was dangerous because people could (and were) using it to inform people about stuff behind the veil they’ve constructed using their media monopolisation. People were showing war zones atrocities in real time, conflicting with the handfuls narrative, so they hostile takovered it, like the do everything else they want to use to serve their narrative and further their interests. There’s power in boycotting, and block lists, but when they monopolise and cause manufactured high cost of living to force you to give them your money (serve them in slavery) it’s pretty hard to boycott. I often switch between two daydreams, one where I Thanos them out of existence, and the other where us 8 billion people combine to form “people of the earth” Chuck in a dollar each and systematically buy up all our politicians so they serve us again. Then we all collectively buy everything and share it, so everyone has the basics to be able to live comfortably. Every billionaire is unethical. They’re the ones causing destruction of our planet. We kinda need that! If it’s not prolonging fossil fuel use and mining, it’s creating “ai” that burns triple the power of the whole UK in one data centre. Like fuck!

Side note ai is tripping me out, a little. There doesn’t seem to be the costs associated with the levels of usage costs it generates, it’s also super not capable of what they’re trying to use it for, are they all just super fucking stupid, or is there some nefarious under plot going on?

That’s exactly it. He will forever have to say, it was awarded by Donald Trump, instantly loses all meaning. People will probably think he bought or bribed it from, DT.

People of science understand, without the parables, because they have the working and “book” knowledge to interpret the relative meaning of the presented data. To communicate the meaning relative data, without the background knowledge, and without taking the time to learn (or even package for small, focused learning) it is easier to understand, if put into a relative comparable, with similar, relative distance, or changes. Especially when people are already overloaded with *gestures towards everything. The way to eat an elephant, small bites. It’s an elephant to people without all that back knowledge or ability to interpret the science, so you gotta break it into small bites for them, using your understanding.

Haha lol, assuming people in cars count calories and or operate on minimal / in a deficit. Regardless of the car argument, people riding bikes are more likely to be counting calories and in a calorie deficit, as they’re more health conscious. People driving cars wouldn’t care as much, on average, and would consume more calories than necessary, probably triple the “cycling” extra calorie needs. Omfg. I could debate either side, if I had to, that’s the stupidest take I’ve ever heard. It holds absolutely no water. Where’s the data showing people in cars consume less food / calories.

How is it doxing? There’s no personal or identifying information being shared.

A lot of the comments here highlight how very little the Americans are being allowed to see of what’s happening. Ice aren’t operating under the law, they aren’t following due process. They are actively abducting everyone, legal citizens, tourists (that are white), and locking them up with no knowledge of their whereabouts for months.

Yeah! Same! I say that all the time. Although the cringe policing wasn’t as hard core before days of constant public documentation of all of the things. You kinda just drifted away from people who were cringe, and they had to figure it out without anything being spelled out for them. At least kids nowadays have a very complex and comprehensive guide to follow. Kinda. I’m still glad I’m pre, all of that.

It’s so much the emperor’s new clothes, though. It’s not real, it doesn’t work how they think or say, it’s gunna bust, big time. They’ve built thier castles on sand.

Omfg! Same!

I think the celebrities speaking out in these and other ways, won’t mind being eaten. They’ll just conceded to settle in to a fairer system, whereas those who don’t comply with our demands, nom fkn nom.

How boring would you be if you didn’t have some cringe stories! They prove you really lived life to the full. You can’t get 100% correct in a fallible meat suit and the fickle, gatekeepy, hot or not, societal mind.

You go and collect your own wood? From land you own? Is it sustainably sourced? I don’t know where you live but it’s a few hundred a ton, here, now and has been for about 10 years.

If he’s responsible for the thanks, he’s responsible for the criticism, too. If he wants thanks for them being fed, he deserves a serve for every baby that’s died. Scum.

Yeah he did that on purpose.

Ellipsis

It’s not make up that causes long lines. Please tell me you’re being sarcastic and I’ve missed it.

I have one daughter

Oh, it’s a post on lemmy shower thoughts, lamenting that if women were believed, we wouldn’t even need the Epstein files. The comments are vile. It’s making me solidify on never dating men. I wish I were gay. Sorry I’m not sure how to post links, if this doesn’t work. https://sh.itjust.works/post/42742787

This post is salve for my eyes after seeing the post on shower thoughts, about Epstein. It made me want to leave lemmy.

I don’t even understand people being angry at her, it might be cutting some funding, but it’s literally still sending funds to Israel for use in continuing genocide. Any money sent is too much. Why do people think she should have voted to send money to them for continuing the slaughter. I do not understand.

That’s not the only blockage to noticing sarcasm, there are so many people who say these / the things and actually MEAN them. We need differentiators, because the crazy levels are too high to wade through.
