No eye damage in Ottawa, just brain damage

Shake747 ,

....what?

Do you work for the onion?

Shake747 ,

This is the only sane answer in here

Shake747 ,

Cool, when you and your friends band together and vote for someone who's not apart of the war machine, then you can ride your high horses

Shake747 ,

Your solution to losing is to now bandwagon with "the lesser of two evils"? Why wouldn't you abandon that party entirely? There's more than two choices.

They'll kill and take away the rights of people who aren't you though...yay...

To top it off, you go on to bash those who think that's not a good choice

The irony.

But don't listen to me, I'm the stupid one.

Shake747 ,

How else would you go about removing the two parties from power?

I don't think continuing to support the party with a vote is really the answer here.

Shake747 ,

Well articulated! I wish we could operate in that space more often.

Healthy discourse might get us humans somewhere instead of infighting with our neighbors

Shake747 ,

Yeah, what a horrible headline lol.

It's about Facebook allegedly stopping it's streaming service to keep one of its largest ad revenue customers happy (Netflix), but also that court docs were unsealed in an anti trust suit, and Facebook may have agreements with Spotify and Netflix, to allow them to read users DM's (no idea why that's relevant but yeah, fuck Facebook! Lol)

It's very speculative though and may not be true. Not that it'd surprise me if it were true either though..

🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?

Shake747 ,

Sometimes there's good discussion though, and it's good to hear different takes.

Having comments also gives less power to the writer, like could you imagine if we all took Fox News or CNN headlines at face value and didn't discuss them?

Shake747 ,

It's not so much what their interpretation is of the specific article is, it's more that you might find more information from someone who has info that was left out, or maybe another source that has conflicting information.

Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.

It's so much mess (through corporate ties or money) to sort through, it's hard to trust any of them anymore

Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life?

I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you've set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled....

Shake747 ,

What do you mean specifically when you say you want to explore yourself more? What would that entail?

Shake747 ,

That's fair, and I'm glad you're in a part of the world that allows you to express yourself freely.

If being on the stage, dressing different, or playing the drums is something you want to go at, I'd say do it. You won't know it until you're in it. There will be some aspects you like, and some you won't. What you perceive and what actually is, are often different.

I've always found that the things I excel at, are the things I'm genuinely interested in. And when I follow those paths for a while, they all have similar lessons. It's like an all rivers lead to the ocean kinda thing.

Counter intuitively though, I also feel more liberated when I'm disciplined about getting little goals done on those paths. When I follow my exact, in the moment emotions, it usually leads me to addiction and forms of laziness. Just gotta push through the bullshit for a bit lol. "Beauty stems from pain" sort of fits with what I'm saying here. Might not be the same for everyone though, but for the past few years I've been excited to get out of bed lol.

Anyways, listen to your heart and you'll feel full. Good luck!

Shake747 ,

Hah! yeah

How does Microsoft always fly under the radar?

Shake747 ,

There's already loads of upvote/downvote bots in the fediverse here - would not be shocked if a large portion of them are from governments

Shake747 ,

Id be surprised if all admins of every instance that's federated with Lemmy are all on the same page, let alone looking for narrative driven bots.

I see "Ukrainian combat footage" with hundreds of upvotes and no comments, there was also an article speaking positively about facebook that had lots of upvotes and no comments (it's in my history of you look, because I commented lol) - those look like red flags to me

Shake747 ,

"Misleading Ads, funding experts, lobbying opinions"

This is also just every large industry/corporation ever

Shake747 ,

Conversely, everything is far right if you're left

Shake747 ,

You've found the lost city of pedantics

Shake747 ,

I always trust salon.com for my unbiased political news...

/s

Shake747 ,

Yeah hah, probably. I just think the amount of people discussing/up-voting a tabloid article is hilarious

Marketing: 1
The people: 0

Shake747 ,

100%

Tabloids are the OG click baiters

Shake747 ,

Vote for someone who's not a dem or repub and you folks might pull yourselves out of this

Shake747 ,

Well good luck! This back and forth between two parties looks like it's destroying your country through division.

The only ones seemingly coming out on top are the people in those parties and their corporate friends

Shake747 ,

The cycle continues.

Worst case scenario it leads to a death spiral

Best case scenario they keep each other in check to maintain the system, but not much will change

Facebook rules allow altered video casting Biden as paedophile, says board ( www.theguardian.com )

Meta’s oversight board has found that a Facebook video wrongfully suggesting that the US president, Joe Biden, is a paedophile does not violate the company’s current rules while deeming those rules “incoherent” and too narrowly focused on AI-generated content....

Shake747 ,

Suck your foot all you want

Shake747 ,

Biden is like Trump's kryptonite. Trump always tries to get in the other guys head.

Can't get in Biden's head...Bidens not in there, good luck dude

Weird how none of this is in parts per million

Shake747 ,

Yeah that makes sense, 1nm is just so small that I half assumed we're nearly at the size of molecules where it would make sense. Turns out a water molecule is only .27nm

Shake747 ,

Hah, yeah. That prayer reminds me of Trudeau too

Shake747 ,

You didn't see any of the SNC lavalin stuff did you?

What about his black face costume?

How about the law to make social media companies pay news outlets for having their articles shared on those platforms, then producing radio ads saying "meta and google are blocking your news!!"

How about freezing the bank accounts of nonviolent protestors and anyone who supported them

He shrugs all of that off, and goes by that narcissistic prayer. I'm not sure why anyone is defending this guy lol, is it just because he's affiliated with the liberal party?

He just recently had to pull back his over priced carbon tax because we're all too broke. This plan literally only hurts the poor classes.

god forbid we stop this left vs right nonsense and come together

Shake747 ,

I've never supported or mentioned PP, I'm not sure where you're drawing that from.

The dudes a career politician - that's not far from being a salesperson your whole life. It's debatable which is worse though, a career politician or a trust fund drama teacher lol

Don't resort to name calling though, makes you seem unintelligent

Shake747 ,

Might be a nice change of pace, he's been fucking me for a while now.

Shake747 ,

Lol no, this is just how it goes on Lemmy in political channels. If you don't want negative karma here, don't say anything that objects to "left leaning views" (how far left can vary)

It's good to not solely exist in agreeable echo chambers, so here I am

Shake747 ,

Because everyone is human, and we all have an intrinsic value.

If you forget that, you'll be quick to dehumanize groups that you view as "opposing" or "other" and you're stuck in the same tribal game that keeps this hamster wheel running

Shake747 ,

Oh God not those clowns
