Clearly bad faith? Curious what you mean.

Right, but that involves you holding the definition of bigotry as objective truth. You don't think that anyone can have a good faith contrarian opinion to your values? I mean, life is complicated. People are complicated and come from a bunch of different communities or backgrounds. Do you think they should just bow down before your assessment, or do you think there should be some wiggle room to convince people of your ideas.

I mean, serious question. Is the goal to produce a pure echo chamber where no dissent arises? How far does this go. It seems like the end result of this is 5-10 large groups of peeps who have "aligned values" that can endlessly reinforce each other. I have a MAGA chud relative that spouts all kinds of nonsense. Is the best thing to literally exorcise this person from my life? I don't know that a lot of identity driven silos is really all that healthy either.

Yes people should be safe, but that doesn't necessarily imply that no one EVER disagrees with them does it?

I know 2 people, completely separate and accross the country from each other that have wrecked due to autopilot failures or errors or whatever. I know this is ultimately anecdotal, but it really seems like Tesla isn't putting up pretty good numbers given my horizon.

It always seems like his judgements are pretty arbitrary as well. He's my least favorite host out of all the ones I've seen. However, I feel like he's improved a lot since NZ S01. He was pretty bad that season but is improving with each subsequent series.

Well...so far he's done more for Gaza in -2 weeks than the Biden admin in +1 years....so here we are. I too doubt anything else good will come of it, but we're still further ahead then the dems got us.

Unexpected outcome...I'll take it :-)

This lines up with what the twitter files presented reasonably well. I dont doubt that this happened to some extent, and I don't doubt it'll happen again under Trump and all the libs will come out of the woodwork to pretend like it's some new scary evil.

I don't think it's a long leap to say this is why they're going after Tiktok, they never had this much control over the platform which is how all that Palestinian suffering got to American feeds.

No "democratic" government should have this much power to censor.

You can always get a new Chromecast (we were forced to as the ancient bullet proof one told us to "fuck off, I want to die"). The new one has a remote control and apps, which I always thought were missing from the minimalist Chromecast family of products. So look at us, now we have a shitty roku when all we wanted was a device that I could send things to from my phone. Needed and wanted nothing more, but I got it. My tone is muddled here, so I'll make it clear that it's worse than it used to be, and I'm annoyed I was forced to pay to downgrade.

We're friends now!

Speaking as someone with no social media (big grain of salt), whenever I've heard reporting on people seeing the genocide on their phones it was always referencing tiktok. They never said "people watched children be exploded on twitter or Insta". That could be due to user preference or whatever, but as an outsider, I have the ambient notion that more of this kind of content was coming from tiktok.

More concretely, in a lot of the stuff that came out of the twitter files, it's clear that the US government does have, what I would classify as, inappropriate contact with american social media companies that can controle narratives. Without saying something with absolute certainty, the statement he's making sounds pretty reasonable.

Also nothing is just one thing, there's probably a ton going on.

Wow, didn't know about the cats or that there was a puzzle in the bathroom. Time to finish this game MORE I guess.
