Mudface,

A lot of the political entries are written with a bent towards being sympathetic with leftists.

The Kyle Rittenhouse article spends a lot of time on how Rittenhouse ‘appeared in conservative media’ or ‘appeared with conservative personalities’ which is a pretty weird thing to say, if you don’t already understand the political undertones of the Kenosha riot.

When you click the article for the Kenosha riot, it’s titled ‘civil unrest in Kenosha’ and focusses a lot on what a reader would perceive as positive aims of the riot. Protesting racism and police brutality, and doesn’t focus at all on the crime, danger, guns, vandalism, arson, etc

That article mentions BLM and when you read that article it makes sure to state that BLM protests were ‘largely peaceful’ and totally misses the amount of deaths and destruction that had happened at them.

The BLM article, if written like the Rittenhouse article, should focus a fair amount in the organizations ties to Marxism, the overthrowing of capitalism and colonialism, but doesn’t.

Wikipedia articles are written and edited and maintained to push a narrative.

If you agree with the narrative, you probably like that it does this. If you disagree, you probably don’t bother reading Wikipedia very much.

The issue with sources, is that a lot of ‘sources’ for stuff like this are already heavily curated to paint a picture the editors want to put on front street.

And anything that would combat that narrative is just outright banned from the site.

A lot of citations with politically charged topics are just opinions anyway. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer or sources on the war between Palestine and isreal, for example. But if Wikipedia editors want to push propaganda for either side over the other, all they have to do is only cite pro-Palestinian or pro-Israeli sources.

This is easily exploitable by editors for whatever narrative they choose to push.

Wikipedia is not an exhaustive gathering of all relevant information, it is a carefully curated propaganda machine for the editors.

Mudface,

Exactly

Mudface,

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Whoever said that should step out of their bubble and have a look around once in awhile

Mudface,

It only knows about things people talk about online. I bet it knows how trump likes his bed made, but doesn’t even know what you can do in a library

Mudface,

Arrested means this shit is extremely serious. Like makes me think just straight up raping people over there.

Wtf

Mudface,

I usually keep one handy at all times, just so I can hold it up whenever the time is right and proclaim loudly:

“Anyone wanna screw?!”

Mudface,

That’s some real smol pp energy you got there

Mudface,

Wasn’t it considered a conspiracy that they would even exist at all?

Mudface,

I wasn’t allowed to eat in the food court at the mall with my daughter and we both had ours.

But because I don’t carry my government issued ID with me at all times (I have my vaccination stuff in my iOS wallet and my daughters in a PDF and pay for shit using my watch) the security guards wouldn’t let us sit down to eat.

It was perfectly fine for us to sit on a bench in the mall and eat though. It was perfectly fine for us to stand in line to buy food, too.

Just not good enough to present a vaccination card without a government issued photo ID to sit in the food court. I don’t know how the security guards expected me to have a government issued photo ID for my daughter though, maybe that was just a requirement for people 18+

So ridiculous.

Mudface,

Are you like a paid user to shill bullshit? Or are yo undoing it for free?

Mudface,

I hate battlepasses

Nothing demotivates me more than a game with a battlepass. Really disappointed, I played and somewhat enjoyed the campaign, then totally lost interest at around level 20 in the first season.

Haven’t picked up the game in a long time, and it’s all because having a battlepass just kills the game for me.

It turns the game into completing the battlepass instead of just playing the game as I normally would. Ignoring the battlepass doesn’t work for me, because I know it’s there.

It triggers FOMO, but instead of making me want to play to not miss out, it makes me not want to play at all because I know completing battlepasses for me is highly unlikely

Mudface,

I’ve never played deep rock galactic. It very well could be the exception that proves the rule.

Feeling punished for not playing, and feeling like a company is trying to manipulate me with psychological tricks to make me play their game is why I don’t play games with battlepasses.

I didn’t mind Diablo iii’s seasons journey at all, and that had rewards that were missable. But Diablo iv has like 90 levels, it costs money and you have to do stupid shit like kill world bosses 15 times with them being on a timer.

I’m not going to set a fucking alarm to log into a video game. I play games on my schedule, not the developers.

It sounds like deep rock has a much more sane system. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

Mudface,

Can I transfer my license to a steam one?

Mudface,

This is one of the few memes I see that I actually enjoyed, good post

Mudface,

With a Usenet account, I was able to make things relatively autonomous.

I told it what I wanted and it found it immediately, downloaded it, renamed it, even replaced it with higher quality whenever it became available.

It would find new episodes of shows I asked it to look for as they aired, new movies I was interested in as soon as they became available, Scott’s, genres, it was crazy.

If I was at work and someone recommended me a movie, I could add it to an IMDb watch list and my PC at home would have it downloaded automatically before I even got home.

It was way too efficient for me, I don’t watch much ‘content’ in real life, but it was so easy and efficient I ended up with dozens of TB’s of stuff that I never had the time to watch to begin with.

I was a collector of ‘content’ and not a consumer of it. So I stopped torrenting and using Usenet.

But Usenet is really pretty awesome with the right setup. I felt like I didn’t need to do shit once I set everything up.

You need to put a little work in setting up a few different programs to all work together, the first time might take you awhile depending on how familiar you are with it (my first time it took me a few days to get everything set up how I like it).

But it’s worth it for the convenience you’ll enjoy

Mudface,

They will have higher overhead from the writers demands, that cost is usually passed onto consumers

Mudface,

I’m just telling you how it works, man.

Gotta show quarter over quarter growth. You don’t have to like it, but don’t take it out on me

Mudface,

No you don’t understand. Everyone is very special and should be catered to at all times, regardless of how others around them may or may not feel.

What are you, some kind of bigot?

Mudface,

This is such a short sighted and selfish thing to say.

I had a vasectomy, for many of the reasons stated here (the most important one being so my wife didn’t have to put her own body through any more trauma).

But I had 3 beautiful, healthy and perfect kids first

Mudface,

My right testicle gets VERY SORE sometimes

Mudface,

Or just work a part time gig at McDonald’s for a couple 5 hour shifts a week to supplement your career job.

Makes it pretty appealing to think about flipping some burgers for $20 an hour, $100 a day 2-3 days a week.

Could be an extra $1,000 a month or so for people looking for something to supplement their income.

Why are there so many conspiracy theories regarding soy beans?

Dear lemmy, someone very close to my heart is starting to fall into conspiracy theories. It’s heartbreaking. Among other things, he has now told me that soy beans are not supposed to be consumed by human beings and is convinced that despite the literal centuries of human soy bean cultivation and consumption, we shouldn’t eat...

Mudface,

You should look into the dairy cartel of canada

hir.harvard.edu/canadas-dairy-lobby-the-shocking-…

Mudface,

If you’re buying this (or anything other than Nintendo exclusive games) for your switch, it’s because you don’t have any other options and likely only own a switch

If you had a PC or a PS5, you’d buy it on that.

So switch only owners would pay whatever for it, but the rest of us wouldnt

Leaving Lemmy World

I enjoyed my time being here and helping to grow this community. My plan was to keep things such as book of the month and show discussions going indefinitely. It’s sad to say goodbye as I would love to continue to try my best at facilitating discussion and help this community become a great resource for science fiction fans...

Mudface,

I was instanced banned as well

This is just like reddit, curating content they approve vs what they disapprove

Who knows what this is, was or soon will be

Mudface,

Youtubers count as news now

Mudface,

That’s true, I wonder who tweeted this first and the author read it scrolling their feed

That’s how news is written now anyway

Mudface,

Can they tell how many accounts of mine they’ve banned?

Oh I don’t care actually

Mudface,

The Glorious Leader has declared that we have too much lead. You’re now reassigned to be in front of the firing squad.

Mudface,

Aren’t there laws against this sort of thing? I think that’s significant fraud and he should go to prison

Mudface,

If it’s scheduled, which I know a lot of execs need to do anyways to trade stock, and it’s not just randomized and he knows when those sales happen, and he knows his decision is going to tank the price, he can manipulate what he announces and when it’s announced.

What’s stopping him from just announcing this, selling the stock in a timer, then waiting just before he’s scheduled to buy stock and announce that he’s changed his mind?

If I’m the guy who bought that stock from him I’d want to sue. He fucked some sucker over

Mudface,

Of course

Mudface,

I dunno, I doubt he’s an idiot. But this game is all rigged anyway

Mudface,

I understand that being surrounded by trauma most days of the year, for a lot of your life leads people to find humor in what the rest of us would find disgusting.

I know a guy who airlifts people to hospitals when they are severely injured. Once a man had been beaten to death in the head with a hammer and my friend had to airlift his body somewhere. His joke “It’s hammer time”.

Not a good joke to you and I. But there is a fair amount of desensitization and coping that goes into a joke and a laugh like that. This guy I know is just a pilot, he doesn’t have any real specialized training to deal emotionally or mentally with something like that.

I am not excusing the officer, not one bit. But just laughing and making a joke about a traumatic situation I kind of understand in a round about way.

What makes this so insidious feeling is that it’s the police, and I know that the vast majority of police are corrupt losers who might actually simply be a bunch of horrible horrible people. Do we know if they would cover up any incompetence that went into the cause of this death? Of course we do. It’s probably even likely, imo

I don’t think that the police should have a union, I don’t think the tax payer should pay for police officers mistakes.

And the addition of throwing in a story about a trump flag incident with a black person makes it pretty obvious that the author of this piece has an agenda to push too.

Pretty sure you can find other flags in that precinct. Probably a BLM flag if this is in Seattle.

The police are disgusting, this author is stooping pretty low, and the only people I respect (besides the victim) in this is the victims family. God bless them, and I hope they are able to find some comfort in the years ahead.

Mudface,

I think a lot of people misread my intentions on this post lol

I’d love to upgrade, but I think my phone is great still. Battery still lasts more than a day. I also like bigger phones, I use my phone like a PC, a lot of reading, writing and watching videos and stuff.

Bigger = better imo (at least for my use case)

Mudface,

“The Final Member”

It’s a documentary about the worlds first penis museum in Iceland trying to finally secure a human specimen

Mudface,

“American Movie”

Nothing summarizes the dream of freedom and creativity of the human species in the face of incompetency like “American Movie”

A documentary about a couple of regular dudes trying to make a horror movie

Mudface,

Where the fuck are you hearing that? Every conversation I have with my conservative friends revolves around how much immigration is reasonably doable and what number is too much strain on the system.

There’s never a racist undertone to the conversation. Immigrants can come from Africa, or Mexico, or Poland. No one I know gives a shit about who they are, just what the policy around it is

Mudface,

I’d like to see what the definition of ‘extreme left’ and ‘extreme right’ is to pair with those numbers. Is it something the ADL or NAACP came up with?

Mudface,

It’s Memmy app. It’s absolutely not functioning properly

Mudface,

It’s super frustrating, I would like to know why someone said “good luck with your wish then” before I respond to them, but I can’t find the post in the thread lol

I’d feel bad just responding randomly, and sometimes I get it wrong and respond out of context to people, which must be super frustrating for them.

It doesn’t help that most things I comment get a ton of replies, I understand why they do (a lot of people here disagree with me and want to tell me how horrible and stupid I am)

Mudface,

The actual baby boomers were the weak men created by the good times.

The strong men created by hard times were their parents who fought in wwi and wwii

My generation (millennial/gen x) is also weak.

My children’s generation, unfortunately, might be the ones who grow to be strong, if we don’t turn around this disaster

Mudface,

How would you describe conservatism?

Mudface,

OMG! I’m so relieved that I’m not the only one. Some of the replies I’ve received in other conversations when I respond out of context have been so demeaning as if I’m making up excuses.

Replying from the inbox is terrible.

Thank you for validating my experience, although it also sucks for you. I appreciate you commenting

Mudface,

The pro-communists call normal people the extremists
