  • IMO this is not enshittification, it's not the websites fault they struggle with bots. It may not be the best strategy, but enshittification is when a digital service has its customers caugt with vendor lock-in and then exploits them for more profit

  • city pigeons are descended from rock pigeons which in nature breed on the ground on tall cliffs and stuff, they don't really build proper nests. This is part of why they thrive in cities, since tall buildings are a perfect nesting opportunity.

  • I can handle nonsense but please don't call me a liberal.

    Can you point to the part you want me to engage with? Half your comments are you fantasizing about me so I'm not sure what you're even trying to tell me.

  • I didn't need to put this into anything because the writing style tells me everything I need to know. Highly opinionated. Essays posing as news. Opinion underlaid with paper-thin "arguments". It's the same that was around during covid spreading misinformation about vaccines and masks. The disinformation itself is not the goal. The goal is to capitalize on people's fear and isolate them. Make them easy to manipulate later on.

    It's not a new strategy either. Fear and hate have always been tools in the hands of the powerful. If you think the West has a monopoly on that, you're sorely mistaken.

    Fuck Westerm hegemony and capitalism, sure. But also fuck Putin. Fuck all oligarchs.

  • The difference between journalism and propaganda to you is whether a western source is saying it or a country which is no longer controlled by the western financial apparatus

    What makes you think this?

    I haven't been trained to question, that's true. I learned. You only learned to be scared apparently, and you're currently in training to dismiss facts altogether. I suggest you drop out of that curriculum

  • Oh I do. But I want journalists to tell me about it, not propaganda outlets. This article is written to make me angry, not to emancipate or enlighten me. It wants to manipulate me.

    If I may recommend a book, Doppelganger by Naomi Klein. It's about exactly the difference between

    1. investigative journalists that do their due diligence to uncover actual conspiracies
    2. conspiracy nutjobs that just believe and share every conspiracy they hear, and ironically, often end up serving oligarchs by doing so.

    If anger becomes more important than truth, we become tools in the hands of the powerful. Choose truth

  • This is just right wing and conspiracy theorist bs. I'm not saying there is no censorship but this is misinformation designed to confuse people, sow distrust, and make them susceptible to more misinformation so they can be influenced politically.

    This kind of shit really took off in 2020 and if you're still falling for it, please take your life back in control. If we're gonna criticize the West, let's take a fact-based approach.

  • We are omnivores and do a lot of chewing. Dogs don't really chew, just rip.

    Some great apes that have more raw plants in their diet even have a bony ridge on their skull that the jaw muscles attach to.

    Our jaws actually have great leverage, our molars are very close to where the jaw muscle attaches.
