  • As long as you can disconnect them from the stream of misinformation that still flows in the media and social media. As an example my brother is a MAGA that would highly benefit from realizing nothing about MAGA will help him, yet when he sees the LA Protests, all he sees are "Protestor shoots other shooter in LA riots" alongside photos of people holding up Mexican flags next to burning cars.

    Many of these people have been brainwashed for an incredible number of years that the brown criminals, the flamboyant gays, etc are threatening their way of life and the biggest enemy to America.

    Then their healthcare gets shittier, egg prices go up, etc and they blame Biden or whatever because it's the same misinformation feed meant to keep them angry at the wrong people. Half of the /r/conservative subreddit is still just blaming kamala for things and "investigating" the conspiracy theory of Biden being able to be president while having cancer among doing everything but realizing what is happening.

    COVID restrictions are basically over but this is the top post on /r/conservative right now

    And the reddit conservative community is tame. The shit flowing across facebook, instagram, shitter, truth social etc is far worse.

  • Bees leave you alone in my experience

    I agree, but I’ve been stung by a wasp that decided it was angry at me for moving my head when it decided to fly an inch from my face and hover around for a minute for an ocular pat down

    Wasps are assholes

  • Palantir has likely put together entire ops plans, including instigators, making sure the “right” journalists capture that protestor violence, and immediately spreading it over right wing media to ensure they get more and more fired up and ready to shoot their neighbors once Trump builds his “freedom militia” or whatever

  • I wish they just responded with a full lore dump that would be far more confusing

    "Yes mom, I'm sorry to tell you I'm part of Thanos' army now. He is traveling planet by planet to erase 50% of every global population. I think it's really smart. You might disappear though, but it's all for the balance. Once we kill those pesky Avengers and collect all the Infinity Stones we'll be right on our way. Sorry, can't talk now, hope your phone is charged over 80%, busy busy. And thoughts and prayers that you're part of the 50% that remains! If so I'll call you tomorrow after we kill Spider-Man. Love you."

  • Tribalism exists in every circle, perhaps moreso in tech circles. Ironically anyone who hates on a distro could just switch, or build their own distro if they were so inclined, but it's often the hating that people participate more in than using their system. Use what works for you, and if it no longer works for you use something else.

  • Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed Saturday morning at their home in Brooklyn Park in what Gov. Tim Walz called a “politically motivated assassination.”

    The first paragraph of the article. Fuck the for-profit media. But Tim Walz is calling it what it is

  • I feel like it was probably more known when that book came out, but as social media basically enabled the KGB to do this cheap as fuck most people forgot, and the amount of people connecting "russia interfering with elections" to "russia attempting entire gameplan to destabilize the west over years and years" dropped drastically

  • Sure but it's dumb to search "Were you able to resolve your issue?" That exact comment exists across hundreds, perhaps thousands of github issues, it's a generic question. The unique comment is the follow through. And if they tried searching the first comment, it would take a few more seconds to try searching the second comment. So there is not "no marker."
