The Dukes of Hazard (CBS) 1979 -1985 was a good family show? Yes or No and Why?

Yes it was. The red herring in the room is the Confederate Flag on the General Lee. But watching the show itself it was about helping out your family and your neighbors. Car chases, dealing with the corrupt and inept sherrif department of Hazard County and about GOOD country music....

People saying:

“Voting doesn’t matter. They’re all the same.” “Things can’t be solved because the global elite won’t allow it” “I don’t have to do anything because it won’t matter” “This is all big industry’s problem, why should I do anything”

have been manipulated/influenced/radicalized by a combination of paid media shills, RW billionaires and Saudi/Kremlin/Iranian propaganda.

Snap out of it and let’s all pitch in to save our children and world.

Absolutely! That’s what I mean. We have to do it ALL. Even the tiniest things have value. 👍

NATO is a defensive alliance that only defends (counterattacks) when attacked. If Sweden is not in NATO and attacked by ruzzia terrorists, they’d be supported in the same way Ukraine is being supported now. If in NATO and attacked by ruzzia, ruzzia would be instantly flattened by NATO.

Incorrect.

Here’s the deal: Putler and his orc regime are terrorists. Countries joining NATO won’t change his mind on using nukes. If there were no NATO, he’d be just as likely to do it. You see? He is a terrorist, and also a coward.

Usage for Old Notbook (lemmy.world)

So my wife has a 10 year old low end notbook. 500Gb of storage (HDD), 2GB of GDR3 RAM, and an intel Celeron Processor N2806. It originally came with Win 8, then she “upgraded” to win 10 and after that it was pretty much unusable. I am talking CPU and Ram about 80-90% in idle, opening a browser got everything down to a crawl....

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

The first thing is to get a total of 4 GB ram (looks like the max for this cpu) into it and an ssd. These are both very cheap atm. See if there’s a video available for your particular model on the internet about getting into the case for the upgrade. Install a lightweight Linux distro. I have a similar 11 year old laptop and it’s working nicely for browsing/video play etc. with Zorin Lite. Good luck!

If you don’t mind used, RX 460/560 will do what you need and don’t require any power from a PSU. There are loads of them on Ebay for well under 100. Now that I’m looking, the RX 570s are well below 100 now as well. Good time to get an ultra budget Linux gaming machine built. But those require an 8 pin PSU lead, I believe.

CNN gave a legitimate set of things people can do to make a difference. It was NOT journalistic malpractice to do so. I think CNN is a ‘both sides’ garbage network, but they are pointing out here correctly that we can ALL pitch in regardless of what shitty corporations do or do not do.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

Wrong. Everyone has to chip in to make a difference.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

Do it all. Every bit counts. Companies suck. Boycott the ones who don’t help.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

If billions of people who are not owners of corporations each does a little, and forces the greedy billionaire corporations to comply by way of boycott, this CAN be done. Vote against people who explicitly DO NOT want to hold billionaires accountable. The notion that every person cannot make a difference and should give up IS A LIE pushed by the capitalist RW/Kremlin and fossil fuel mafia.

It made me whole again

What are the strategic considerations behind the active spread of anti-vax theories?

When it comes to spreading disinformation about climate change or the risks of smoking, I can clearly see how it protects economic interests (e.g. the value of the assets of the fossil fuel industry or the tobacco industry). I therefore understand that these lies are (have been) regularly pushed by people who do not necessarily...

It’s just another way hostile foreign governments (Chinese, Russian etc.) insert chaotic propaganda to exploit and widen divisions within democracies. Some influencers work as agents of these governments, while many more are using it as an opportunity to increase their own celebrity which in turn fattens their wallets.

Breaking free of radicalizing algorithms and agenda driven rage farmers will feel weird for a while. There’s a process of recovery when healing from any destructive addiction.

YSK that “neoliberal” refers to a discrete set of economic policies including deregulation, privatization, and so-called “free trade” implemented by both center-right and center-left parties

Why YSK: I’ve noticed in recent years more people using “neoliberal” to mean “Democrat/Labor/Social Democrat politicians I don’t like”. This confusion arises from the different meanings “liberal” has in American politics and further muddies the waters....

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

The term neoliberal was created to be misleading.

All META and other billionaire anti-democracy thieves have to do is pay their fair share. I support this 100%. Fuck Zuckerberg and greeder tech bros.

Grant_M,

No. Stop spreading propaganda.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

Are you making money personally by posting media links on Lemmy?

No.

This is 100% about billionaire anti-democracy bad actors having control over what people see. And profiting by doing so.

It’s UNBELIEVABLE how zillionaires Zuckerberg and Google have managed to convince people that their own crappy behaviors are all to blame on the Liberal Canadian government. It didn’t have to be this way. Zuckerberg and Google CHOSE THIS.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

You’re wrong by that as well. This law hands control of news back to the people.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

Why are you defending anti-democratic multi-billionaire influence peddlers META and Google instead of people? We have to be profiting by linking news items to be in violation. We are NOT profiting here.

Grant_M,
@Grant_M@lemmy.ca avatar

This is designed to stop reporting in a way that appeases an algorithm set by billionaires. It frees MSM and all news outlets to report facts only. It sets all news outlets on an even footing. This will benefit Canadian citizens and democracy.
