The advertising was an easy and obvious example. I set you up for a straw man but whatever. If you don’t understand the harmful effects social media has on mental health and how it’s different from other forms of media/content, I’m not going to hold your hand through that. The sophistication of engagement algorithms should be obvious. The purpose of a surgeons general warning would be to raise awareness of those specific mental health issues that can be aggravated by excessive social media use. Raising the awareness of an issue is step in the right direction. Fine to call it a band aid but there’s no need to shit on progress of any type.

Lol what? You’re going from comic book bans to covid microchips now. Idk you’re weird.

That is apples and oranges. Clicking through rabbit holes isn’t the result of an aggressive algorithm designed to prime you for products being advertised. The motivation for the content being hosted is the major issue and exploitation of younger people in service of that motivation.

Comparing decades old satan panic stuff with modern behavioral sciences is legit the dumbest thing I’ve read today. Congrats.

You definitely sound like a person who I would trust to tell me what “mainstream feminist ideology” is.

Ska punk is splitting hairs for sure. Legit saw someone with the specials on their list lol

Well, they had one albums worth of songs then one member quit. Then other members just added Lars Fredrickson and became Rancid. Like, I love op-iv but rancid scratches that itch and people prob want some more diversity in their list.

1. Dead Kennedys

2. NoFX

3. Leftover crack/choking victim

4. Black Flag

5. Propagandhi

(Dishonorable mention to Justin Sane. Anti-Flag was a huge part of me developing my sense of ethics and social justice. Sad about what a dick he turned out to be.)

For me it was “Dear Zachary”. Mostly because it’s a documentary, not because it’s gory or anything. It’s just a heart wrenching documentary.

That worked for me also. I like a lot of sports docs on YouTube. That triggered non stop Joe Rogan suggestions and ads for all kinds of right wing news trash.

Bro, I’ve tried. Mods do a good job on the instances putting up content. But I’m hoping to get my news from those instances. Outside of that I get my news from podcasts. Not really sharable content for this platform. I’ve had like 3 replies from about 20 comments and it’s rare for a post to reach double digit up votes. I’ll for sure water plants but I’m kind of over planting seeds. I mod a couple nsfw communities so I’m doing my part.

It will help more niche communities grow. I left reddit, generally don’t miss it. I also give zero shits about tech, programming and Linux. I am a sports fan though, big NBA fan. There’s just zero conversation on those instances. I would like to see the user base grow so I can engage some conversations about those interests. I sure as shit ain’t going outside and making friends lol

Cool, the tone of your previous comment made me think you mightve considered him a legitimate journalist.

Do you not understand the backlash Tucker Carlson is getting for doing this interview? Are you not aware of his history pushing pro-putin talking points? Tucker Carlsons content literally gets reposted on Russian state medias youtube.

Do you not understand the backlash?

Yeah, a lot of it is outrage bait. That is basically how Trump got elected, outrage -> coverage, coverage->legitimacy.

That actually existed until Reagan repealed it. That paved the way for Rush Limbaugh and the rest snowballed.

As someone who has had to clean public restrooms, women’s bathrooms are worse.

“I have a feeling you dont know how musk or most of these billionaires have so much money. When he purchased twitter, he sold Tesla stock to get the required funds.”

Musk used money his father made from apartheid era south Africa to go to Canada so he can dodge mandatory military service. Then he started a company that was half of a good idea. He merged companies with another conservative ghoul named Peter Theil to form paypal and sold it. Then he invested in a bunch of green energy start ups to take advantage of Obama era policies to jump start the industry AKA welfare for the rich.

“He paid $11 billion in taxes on the sold shares. He is just playing the game with the rules he is given. But yeah, you are coming off as a hater.”

Musk paid a 25% tax rate on on 44 billion dollars… boo fucking hoo. You billionaire apologist dipshits are the most pathetic fucking dumb fucks I can imagine. Wipe Elons cum off your fucking chin and think of something more substantive than “people being haters” goofy bitch ass mother fucker.
