14 years, here. From the Digg exodus.

The reason is simple. Misinformation sticks with conservatives more than liberals. With liberals, someone posts evidence that the story isn't true and the whole thing fizzles out. If someone tries posting counter evidence in a conservative forum, they get banned.

There's no money in trying to push misinformation to liberals.

Good people do to too. Ruth Bader Ginsberg clung to office and died two months too early.

There's a little known Aesop Fable called "The Clown and the Countryman" that illustrates something close to this

I highly recommend watching his debates with Sam Harris

It really shines a light on what a fake sophist charlatan Peterson is. Harris is so clear and plainspoken in comparison. His ideas are sophisticated, but explained simply.

Adult life I could probably do, but I don't know about post-2000

I should have known I wouldn't be the first to think of this

I'm one of the people who was ragging on the idea and I was absolutely fucking right.

And yes, I'm ragging on the idea of the musical episode, too.

That's not an SUV, it's a pickup truck.

We walk around with a little rectangle in our pocket that gives us access to the sum total of human knowledge, but we mostly use it for looking at funny captioned pictures, the same pictures over and over just with different captions.

It's called a phone but no one ever uses it as one.

There was also a musical episode of Xena. I forget which came first.

The Lower Decks crossover is bad enough, but this? No, just... no.

They could have fixed that by analyzing the signals in her brain in such a way that they could actually show to Pike.

He's not saying "I want more gridlock", he's saying "I want more of whatever personally benefits me, and I have to cause gridlock to get it, that's just fine".

Tomatoes are both a fruit and a vegetable

I was on Digg before switching to Reddit 14 years ago and once people were told Reddit existed there was a landslide of people switching because Digg admins were being such jackasses.

I'm sure there are people grabbing constant captures so they can put out an unedited version.

How many of them don't know about Lemmy yet and would switch in a second if they found out?
