It’s kind of a hard call to really call the internet entirely dead. It just feels dead and there are portions of where people once were, that is dead. If you’re looking for honest engagement in places where bots are, then you’ll believe the internet is dead.
It’s okay to be stupid, at times, on a “I just don’t know” level. Nobody knows everything, not even experts.
It’s just not okay to pretend that you’re smart and know everything while demonstrating just how stupid you are. You’re only truly stupid also, when you don’t question, don’t have a sense of awareness and aren’t curious to know more of something.
That’s exactly what online engagement has largely degraded into. People who think that because they’re louder, that they have more karma points, that they brown-nose to mods/admins make them smart and therefore not stupid. It just turns you into a stupid asshole who has a fragile ego.
Well, yeah, it’s not that much of a mystery. I think it was even admitted that it existed.
But what we don’t have, is all of the documentation related to the project. The CIA kinda did the Nazi thing, where, they don’t want specific shit to be known about what they’ve done to people, so they destroy what they can.
No he wasn’t. He’s a fucking shit-stirring asshole who believed for the longest time until the courts had to twist his arm about it to be convinced, that actual children did not die during a shooting massacre. He deserves to have his platform shut down and given to a satire company, he deserves to be drained of all of his financial resources.
And before anyone says “his voice is being silenced! what about his first amendment rights?!”. All that his voice and platform has done, is just damage and warp the minds of anyone who so much gave him honest attention. Just so that they too, could be walking mouthpieces for him. I mean that’s partially why we’re dealing with this war now over misinformation, it is partly because of this prick.
If there’s anyone whose voice I wouldn’t cry about being silenced forever, its this clown. If Alex Jones has actually proven anything at all, is to how gullible and devoid of intelligence people are to have faithfully followed everything he’s said and done while spinning it all like as if he’s satire. Too bad this ‘satire’ was something people actually believed in and still believe in.
No. I’m mostly a person who cares about saying anything at all, than wasting my time trying to convince people about my arguments. You take it or leave it. If I’m right, cool. If I’m wrong, then whatever. But, a lot of the time, people are fighting harder to win arguments than simply registering both facts and lies.
And it’s those kinds of arguments, I’ve no time for.
Anon is a fucking joke. In fact, that’s what they largely have become anymore. They’re only serving their self-interests. Sure, they’ve done a handful of things that would otherwise be seen as good, but majority of the time, they’ve proven to just outright be assholes who operate arbitrarily but likely sides with their own interests.
I always thought he was. I always knew too that he’s never going to get a fair trial and that he had to do what was necessary to avoid being extradited.
He did a huge favor for the american masses, who were obliviously unaware as to how much of an extent that they were being spied on and how their privacy was exploited. Anybody who still calls him a traitor to this day, besides the government anyways, are those who truly cannot grasp or refuse the reality this man unveiled to them.
I do see people and people like Luigi as true patriots. They have done things, that no American has the guts to pull off. The American populace, just largely takes the constant raping of their rights by their government and fear them. It should be the other way around.
You can, you just have to know which games can be played without needing a launcher. I know I have some Epic Games back ups of games I redeemed from a deleted account that I can run that don’t need the Epic Launcher.
They’re bait posts because they’re preying on people to drop some really spicy unpopular opinion that nobody, even including the OP, will handle. It’ll create a scuffle, arguments and there will be calling for post removals and report wars will happen.
Also, it reeks of Reddit too, including to the last line.
Being a gatekeeper isn’t to be treated like its some unpaid employment. But, what would actually help in that example scenario, is if there is a universal agreement among the more knowledgeable members about what makes exactly what within a community or fandom. There can be a few branches to help weed out those from the fakers and the authentic members and there can be a level-support system to help measure up to.
Like to the example I used about religious symbolism, to expand on, do you necessarily have to practice magic to be a wiccan? Not precisely. There are other ways or methods that you could pledge yourself to, to be a Wiccan, it doesn’t have to always be about practicing magic although these days it is stereotyped. Though there are Wiccans who do practice magic, so where would they be? They’d be gatekeepers but only a subset, a portion in their own little spot. So, there is them and then there is another subset of people within the community that would be there to be there for those that help those identifying as Wiccan to educate them that ‘nah, you don’t always have to practice magic’.
It just goes by layers but there will be established layers that all are supposed to help filter a community from those falsely representing it.
And yet since they probably don’t and haven’t, aren’t using their mass wealth for anything beneficial other than to lobby and oppress. Aren’t seeing jail time or any massive penalties for them to worry about, the karma system is just make-believe.
Inflation, to me, is code word for “I’m going to be greedier”. So, I’m so sick of seeing that word ‘inflation’ being thrown around so much because it’s just excusing and justifying the greed.
Same old prices…bland. Oh and price hikes too. I had to check my order history to compare to find that I paid $.89 for the original Theme Park back in 2016. They want $3 now for it. Screw that.
