same for much of healthcare, education and policing and similar

Reagan really helped kneecap some of the power of unions at the federal level at least

[eager parrot]

but like new progress and fields don't get that benefit at all, yeah since reagan era

[vital needle]

Not strong enough to keep manufacturing inside the country though

[eager parrot]

there are still some good things being built here

[vital needle]

(I know, I watched Roger and Me in college)

[eager parrot]

a lot of vehicle and vehicle parts

some tech

most military industrial complex stuff

things like SpaceX are entirely american

[forest sigil]

GM and LG had a union form down here this year with 1,000 strong and they just joined UAW

[eager parrot]

nice

always good to see, individual workers have no bargaining power with the giants otherwise

[forest sigil]

the more rural areas around here the stronger positive opinions on unions are

[eager parrot]

which is kind of ironic given most rural areas are often more conservative and republican leaning, and republicans seem to be so anti-unions on their platforms...

but then go around asking for endorsement of existing unions come campaign time lol

[forest sigil]

the TVA here is basically held up by union partnerships, if they do something to burn one they burn them all so they are held in check

[vital needle]

Not really, makes sense that people who value the collective strongly would turn to fascism

Same thing in east germany tbh

[forest sigil]

IIRC if there are emergency situations here or disasters union members get paid a ton or else they dont work, which is good for them

so if a Tornado hits or problems with bad thunderstorms

[trim flicker]

Speaking of tornados

Sometimes it seems like America hurts itself more than any natural disaster can

[forest sigil]

there are still peopel trying to vacation to those areas too, so all around smart people

[eager parrot]

humanity is its worst enemy after all

we'll make our species extinct long before any natural event does

[forest sigil]

might even cause them

if you believe some of those conspiracies about weather machines

[trim flicker]

This also highlights why the bipartisan messaging doesn't work imo lol
Shit's extremely divided there and a lot of this misinformation isn't just spread by Trump or Vance, it's spread by a ton of other republican representatives, by fox news, by voters

[forest sigil]

I've already seen claims of "natural" disasters so

[eager parrot]

frankly we're only one or two squares away from the meme "in insert year I'm done arguing, if we disagree on something, I'm straight up just ... you"

[forest sigil]

it's rough cause in the 2020 election 66% of the eligible population voted, so that's 34% that isnt voting for one reason or another

[eager parrot]

and that was one of the highest turnouts ever

with voting perhaps easiest than ever with all the options for remote voting during covid

[forest sigil]

2022 was 46% but that is a midterm year so

[eager parrot]

both candidates received more votes than any presidential candidates ever before

[forest sigil]

and that was the highest since 1970

[eager parrot]

do I believe there is technology at least in a laboratory/theoretical sense that can manipulate some level of local meteorological events?

probably

but hurricanes would be far outside of any human intervention or creation

at least in this lifetime

[forest sigil]

most of them believe it already exists because they take a leap from cloud seeding

[eager parrot]

and if such a technology did exist, I doubt we wouldn't notice it being used

the amount of energy required to do what they're proposing is being done is ... kind of mindboggling and difficult to hide

[forest sigil]

I just think logistically it would be impossible to hide or use for this massive of a hurricane

[eager parrot]

this is just people in desperate times justifying the horrible things happening to them

and finding somebody somewhere to blame

a tale as old as humanity's history

whether it was god's punishment or some witch's curse or otherwise

republicans just found a way to channel that primal instinct into this insanity

[forest sigil]

it's still insane how it just deleted some roads

and swept them away

[eager parrot]

terrifying, and sadly every year it will get worse with the rate of climate change

and it'll climb up further north

maybe it's time to annex canada

their empty lands will become habitable at this rate

[forest sigil]

never thought the 51st state would be Canada instead of Puerto Rico

[eager parrot]

we'll just extend the states to keep the stars at 50

give all of nova scotia and new brunswick to maine

make vermont really big by giving them quebec's landmass

and new york state can absorb ontario, torontonians and NYC'ers both think they're the center of the world after all, they'll get along

[forest sigil]

there will be a North Dakota, Middle Dakota, and South Dakota

[eager parrot]

and Detroit can finally stop being "North of Canada"

Michigan will just absorb the other half of Ontario

The vice president’s advisers have been urging her to talk more about cryptocurrency as a way to appeal to male voters. Her campaign said that as president, Harris will back a regulatory framework meant to better protect investors in cryptocurrency and other digital assets, which are popular with Black men.

what year is this...

[hoary charm]

i feel like reducing harm from sports betting would be a better use of time than dealing with crypto

[eager parrot]

I just can't see how this is a topic important to an election campaign this close to voting day

it has a very ...

feel

[marsh oracle]

As much as it pains me to say there definitely still is a crypto bro audience

And this is just one point out of a larger set of announcements so how important does that make it really

[trim flicker]

Not just that but there's been many crypto companies investing on the campaigns

https://www.vox.com/money/371597/crypto-politics-spending-2024-elections-trump

just got one where they say kamala and Tim know more about guns than ivy league Trump and Vance

[blazing depot]

I mean, that one isn't even wrong at least in regards to Trump

[trim flicker]

they're like one step away from saying she also hates immigrants

[near jetty]

big border agent lover

[trim flicker]

should've actually let her old campaign staff keep doing their thing

but I'm guessing after she was formerly decided as a candidate they get access to the money from the party instead of her own campaign funding right

[near jetty]

too late to turn back now

[marsh oracle]

Eh I dont really think her messaging has changed all that much

Its just the obligatory season of misery democrats always do before every election where the sky is falling down with every new poll even though they all look exactly the same and are within the margin of error

[near jetty]

we will see

[pale flower]

Yeah I don't think it's been all that different

I think they're trying to approach the campaign from different angles/reach out to as many communities/demographics as they can

[marsh oracle]

I mean we really wont see cause the polls been saying coin flip since the dnc and we are only flipping this coin once

[near jetty]

there has been a change

[pale flower]

I think her campaign has had a very large emphasis on Trump's insanity rather than new ideas from the Dems

[marsh oracle]

All these polls usually have a 2-3% margin of error and when people pick out individual demographics it goes even higher

[pale flower]

Like there were some new ideas proposed at the beginning but I don't think there's been as many new things proposed recently

I could be wrong though and I'm happy to be

[marsh oracle]

Nah compared to other dem campaigns against him theyre focusing on that a lot less

Like yea kamalahq is gonna post about whatever dumb shit trump said recently

But thats not really the campaign

[trim flicker]

Well something did change given the momentum she had died after the DNC and now her messaging hasn't really been resonating with people as it was before
Maybe you can argue it hasn't been hitting with people online but her media appearances like the 60 minutes stuff wasn't super well received either

[marsh oracle]

I mean before the dnc she went from practically unknown nationwide to slightly ahead of trump and has been sitting there ever since

[blazing depot]

Could also easily just be that the media coverage is now more focused on being all negative about it whenever they get the chance tbh

[marsh oracle]

Obviously you cant keep rising in the polls like that

[pale flower]

I think that keeping up a momentum like that is pretty difficult though

[blazing depot]

While before what got them more views was "Woah, look at that momentum!!"

[trim flicker]

Also true

But clearly they've been having some issues with messaging since then

[marsh oracle]

And the media has an insanely high standard for dem politicians and will constantly ask for more Interviews and more policies meanwhile the other guy is huffing glue in the corner and nobody cares

I mean what messaging do you think people want

[blazing depot]

[insert that dumbass journalist asking Biden why he hasn't called Trump to make him stop clip here]

[marsh oracle]

Cause I see people blame her gaza stance for the polls in mi/wi but if she changes her stance she runs the risk of losing the much larger jewish population in PA

[trim flicker]

that's policy, not really messaging
I'm saying something about their marketing changed

Her messaging on that has been pretty much the same

[blazing depot]

Policy doesn't matter one bit at this point of the race

[hoary charm]

tbh i'd say policy hasnt mattered one bit since 2016

[marsh oracle]

Probably

[pale flower]

Ah I see, that's good

Just that when I see Harris playing Trump clips at her rally it's a bit 💀

[marsh oracle]

The media pretends it does but the election hinges on 50k people in 3 swing states who dont really understand policy anyway

[blazing depot]

I swear, US election system is the dumbest construct anywhere in the world

[pale flower]

Real LMAO

[marsh oracle]

Its all vibes and because of the covid recession the vibes are generally bad for incumbents

[trim flicker]

Gotta remember one of the main things the Harris campaign was praised over was actually calling out the republicans as weird

So i can see why people who were motivated by that would get very doomer about the sudden shift to appeal to republicans after the dnc

[pale flower]

It's less calling out all repubs as weird and more about calling Trump (and in extension his supporters) weird imo

[marsh oracle]

Unfortunately the EC makes it so more blue votes in already blue states dont matter

[pale flower]

I think she's looking to get moderate repubs on her side, or normalize them switching to Dem

[marsh oracle]

Or just staying home

[pale flower]

Yeah

[marsh oracle]

Also why shes going on joe rogan and fox news this week

[blazing depot]

Enemy territory

[near jetty]

poor Pete gonna lose his job

[trim flicker]

Their focus was more on republican pundits in general and not voters, specially with how weird they are about caring so much about abortion, trans issues and what people do on their personal life

[hoary charm]

"jamie pull up that clip where she supported transgender operations on illegal aliens in jails"

[blazing depot]

Makes sense, after all Kamala will be doing all those operations herself in the WH, they should point that out more

[trim flicker]

Also ngl there's not that big of a distinction with how MAGA people see trans people + abortion and how your usual republican would see that

[ocean vigil]

i thought they did the operations in schools

[marsh oracle]

Well not on the illegal aliens

Schools is where they turn your son into a daughter within a day

[blazing depot]

I thought those are busy murdering people in their kitchen in the morning?

I guess maybe they have the afternoon off to get the operation

[trim flicker]

I think focusing on how weird the republican messaging is in general was a big win because it actually hit them where it hurts (and they looked pathetic trying to do rebuttals to it) and by extension could actually bring some of the republican voters who disagree with the party messaging

[marsh oracle]

But yea in general keep in mind incumbents around the world have been getting fucked in elections because of the recession and inflation from covid

Any sane republican would sweep

[near jetty]

so they are trying to become the same republican

stunning gambit

[blazing depot]

Are there any sane republicans left

[marsh oracle]

Yea the people vocally against trump

[blazing depot]

Ok, that's.. like 4 of them

[marsh oracle]

If you look at harris proposals and think a republican would give you the same, I pray for you

[blazing depot]

And I wouldn't call Dick Cheney sane

[marsh oracle]

But obviously we can also be very reductive about the entire thing and pretend getting an endorsement with zero concessions is being the same as them

[near jetty]

[marsh oracle]

Bernie can run in 30 years when the us electorate isnt scared of government doing anything socialism anymore

[blazing depot]

Reagans mind would be blown when he hears the price cap on insulin thing

Literal socialism in the heart of america

[near jetty]

wish she would tell us more about that

[marsh oracle]

Its on her website

[near jetty]

unfortunately I have to hear about how she's from a middle class family raised by her mom

which is nice no disrespect whatsoever

or how much she loves small businesses

is legalizing weed even part of their policy anymore

[marsh oracle]

Was literally in that proposal package with the crypto thing

Kinda ties this whole conversation up lmao

[near jetty]

yes it does because despite it being a very popular position this is the first time I'm hearing about it and for some reason it's part of her proposals for black men

but thank god she had he dick cheney power hour in Wyoming

No.

[near jetty]

maybe bone density will get so low we will have bird bones and be able to fly

[marsh oracle]

Idk man this just seems like those anti smoking campaigns where the government incentivizes people to stop doing bad things to their body cause its expensive to treat

[blazing depot]

Instead of giving money to the NHS they give them more work in having to do those injections that they're not trained for yet

[hoary charm]

there is pill form of ozempic but its daily instead of weekly

[near jetty]

lower bone density could result in more broken bones

[marsh oracle]

So could being obese

[near jetty]

and ozempic achieves weight loss via lowering appetite so less economic activity in the food sector

Asmongold has been suspended from Twitch from 14 days according to sources with knowledge of the situation

Twitter · Oct 15, 2024, 7:14 PM

Can't say here why he got the ban, you'll have to go look yourself, but we actually mentioned that stream he was doing here

[eager parrot]

14 day bans for this kind of commentary is just a break for these streamers.

[forest sigil]

if it's any longer they just go to kick anyways

[eager parrot]

I suppose this is the state of 2024, straight up untermensch type commentary being treated with a simple 14 day ban.

we're seeing it in real time in American politics too.

and it just keeps escalating.

[forest sigil]

if you bring in $$$ to twitch highly unlikely you get perma'd

just like leroy

wait

[ocean vigil]

that's not even close to being the most ew thing about him

[forest sigil]

the blood thing is definitely the most digusting thing I've read this year

[blazing depot]

He'll just make yt vid about it and pretend Twitch are the bad guys for banning him

[forest sigil]

I cant believe leroy doesnt shower

[eager parrot]

just imagine if he had said what he said about the other side of the 'escalation'. he'd be canceled and banned for life from all platforms.

then again maybe not, there's nick fuentes also straight up saying that kind of thing and he's given a platform, so we truly live in a society.

[blazing depot]

Twt was always questionable, but bro made it infinitely worse

[eager parrot]

what's kind of heartbreaking about that is Twitter actively pursued him to force him to buy it

after his little binding offer that he tried to back out of

you just know he was sitting there scared when he realized he couldnt back out

he bought it for 44 Billion and now it is only worth 12.5 Billion with 80% of users leaving since he took over

Fans made edits to liken the poster more to the original poster, but that's not where ai comes to play

https://fxtwitter.com/artemxcx/status/1845228737903853842?t=Ubfz8ICgV996dcGRfo3vag&s=19

This is the ai video in mention, with the infamous caption automod falsepositives

It is reasonable for Cynthia to get upset here, she had shared a fan edit of her face from poster as a meme on insta story a day before so some disregard her as a "hypocrite"

I think she feels like the art direction for this movie adaptation for the musical is not respected by fans, and that shows off by the public reaction to the poster

It also has an odd side event where Charli XCX shared a Wicked edit with her as the witch, due her remix collab with Ariana

[blazing depot]

As far as youtube apology vids go this one is actually pretty decent and reasonable

No Dr.Disrespect doubling down shenanigans

[clear tide]

he is just a joke

[blazing depot]

"I only posted this to bait the WOKE JOURNALISTS!"

[clear tide]

actually insane how he scoffed at the very reddit comments he been reading for years and only aknowledges it now
how long is his suspension anyways?

[forest sigil]

14 days

so a vacation

[clear tide]

cool

[pale flower]

Sort-of teetering on the no war talk rule here btw

[forest sigil]

I know it's technically ban evasion, but you'd think they'd ban his other accounts but twitch never makes too much sense

[blazing depot]

They never really do that with alts

Basically you just can't go and stream on them or it's evasion, ye

[blazing depot]

No one was going in that direction, chill.

[pale flower]

Just saying it ahead of time

[trim flicker]

whys the message deleted

[pale flower]

Wasn't me

[clear tide]

thought i couldnt share it cuz of what she said so deleted it

[trim flicker]

i see

[pale flower]

You can share the vid, it was Asmongold's apology vid

[clear tide]

edited it back in

[forest sigil]

it'd just be really cool if a lot of these people complaining about "woke media" would find something productive to do

[trim flicker]

But then who'd be complaining about woke DEI games

[marsh oracle]

makes a lot of money apparently

[forest sigil]

with how much money these guys make you'd figure they use it to try to establish a game studio or some type of studio to fund products they want to see

even though it'd be trash

as seen with that dailywire twitter show

[trim flicker]

hey dr disrespect tried that

or whatver that shitty game is

That he isn't involved with anymore

[forest sigil]

yeah? burn that money then ez

[trim flicker]

end of the day the people who complain about wokeness just aren't interested in art at all and therefore won't really seek any of that
and when they try (like daily wire does with their shows and movies) it sucks because their only goal is, ironically, to do very obvious political messaging

[blazing depot]

Thing is, they're not totally off base since both sides of the spectrum very much exist. Unfortunately that discussion can't be had these days though since fucking everything is WOKE now, typical case of "when you call everything bad the actual bad things get buried"

You know, like in Kpop discourse

[forest sigil]

what's funny is that even their own side thinks that stuff sucks too

[hoary charm]

that shitty game cost me $50 and i resold it for $400

nfts arent so bad

[blazing depot]

It's also the same baseline as "Can't just have sexy characters in game any more cause that's SEXIST" (see: Stellar Blade discourse)

All nuance is lost

[clear tide]

no fun allowed

[hoary charm]

can't talk about woke anymore because of woke

[blazing depot]

Yeah, when I woke up this morning I was like "I shouldn't have done this"

https://fxtwitter.com/Marsspace17_/status/1846664756649959869?t=Fe2ZtwqUrRP4JqLaM68Wig&s=19

Extremely odd end, especially since just half an hour ago before that, he was posting snaps

https://fxtwitter.com/feelslikemads/status/1846663763967033847?t=dgGeSKyeBxRMfLeBbXwGwA&s=19

But also, his neighbors at the hotel reported he was under some substance and was acting agressive, so possible mood swings

[haughty steppe]

https://vxtwitter.com/walls_fitf/status/1846099041773371897 oh!

[blazing depot]

The switch from "he did the old Russian" to "he forced his gf to do an abortion" seems rather odd

[haughty steppe]

just finding out he did shitty stuff idk

[blazing depot]

The all do

Men

[haughty steppe]

i guess he was getting a bunch of shit recently bc of it

[fossil basin]

And also because hik shading other 1D members and trying to get the spotlight from them

Recent example being a niall horan concert

[blazing depot]

Now TMZ reported it so clearly it must be true

[vital needle]

Shit apology, no ukulele in sight 0/10

[blazing depot]

He couldn't find his ukulele, it was buried under a massive heap of trash, sorry

[proud tulip]

ABC reported it also

seems like it actually happened

[marsh oracle]

Ukuleles are DEI anyway

[forest sigil]

Rough way to go

[blazing depot]

Very Russian

[marsh oracle]

Asmon says hes gonna clean his room himself

He should really just hire somebody to give him a new start and be able to start small, cleaning all that probably takes more determination than hes ever needed

Not to mention its probably a biohazard with all the mold lmao

[marsh oracle]

He seemingly recognizes that hes become a worse version of himself but changing that is gonna require a huge audience cleansing

[proud tulip]

didnt he say this months ago

[trim flicker]

I mean if this made him reflect on himself, what he says and what he does then yeah that's great

Always for seeing people change for the better

[blazing depot]

Ye, as I said, as far as these apologies go it was decent. If he follows through that is.

[fossil basin]

TMZ got pictures of his body, zoomed on the tattoos, it is him

Don't think it is an ethical thing to do, it regardless confirms the news

[trim flicker]

We don't need the details on that

[proud tulip]

if we live in a simulation TMZ are the ones who run it i swear

[fossil basin]

I do not plan on posting photos

[marsh oracle]

He kind of represents a demographic of people that got increasingly isolated and slowly radicalized themselves with all the online politics stuff, would be nice to see somebody get out of that rabbit hole

I dont think hes too far gone like the ones further into conspiracy territory

[trim flicker]

Him getting out of that could also help some of his demographic of viewers realize that happened to them too

[blazing depot]

It's TMZ

Ethics, lmao

[trim flicker]

Which good on my books
Even if it's literally just 1% of the people who watch him that would potentially come to that realization

[blazing depot]

His audience is a huge part of the problem for sure, cause yikes

[marsh oracle]

The comment section and subreddit thread about this are obviously horrendous yea

[blazing depot]

And they're not happy about the apology

[trim flicker]

Cleansing himself from that audience might be the best thing that happens to him ngl

[marsh oracle]

But also can twitch ban sneako now

[trim flicker]

How is that dude not on a penitentiary

[fossil basin]

from another server with some insider info about matter, apparently Liam was with some sex workers and was on cocaine, very out of his mind late at night, and he didn't want to pay them, police intervined

[marsh oracle]

Ok but why dont we just wait for actual reporting instead of spreading this stuff

[proud tulip]

^

[blazing depot]

Also there is no way anyone could possibly know any of that already

[fossil basin]

If they live close to the area it is possible

[trim flicker]

There is ways someone could've known that but either way it's just better to wait rather than trust what someone said on a server lol

[blazing depot]

No, it's not. Whatever tf does that have to do with it

[fossil basin]

The local news and police reports we have, alongside neighbors sentiments

[blazing depot]

I could live next door and wouldn't fucking know who was in there with him, much less if he did drugs

[fossil basin]

Neighbors of liam payne had stated that he was hostile to them and was on substances

That's the argentinean news atleaast

[blazing depot]

Like, start making some semblence of sense when you spread bs claims

And don't try to justify them with more bs

[fossil basin]

Non anglospherical proof ≠ bs

[blazing depot]

There is no proof you [ban filter]

[trim flicker]

What someone said on a different server isn't proof lol
Its just hearsay

[blazing depot]

Anything and everything out there at this point in time that is not an official statement is baseless rumors

[trim flicker]

Just don't spread that kinda stuff here

[fossil basin]

I am not citing it as proof

But neighbors and local police findings should count

[blazing depot]

Non anglospherical proof ≠ bs

Uhuh

[fossil basin]

I mean they are all argentinean

[marsh oracle]

Ok then link the news organisations reporting it

[blazing depot]

Again: I could be living next door and I still would have no way of knowing who he was with and what he was consuming

That's not how neighbours work

[marsh oracle]

Cause I have insider information that it was Vladimir putin himself pushing him over the railing

Also photoproof of the used cocaine from his room

Think that'd be somewhat sufficient

I am not going to be out there spreading random baseless rumors without sufficient proof, i might be spreading or speaking about rumors, but i will have proof that atleast convinces me

[marsh oracle]

Ok I would like to see your proof for this

Breaking news reporting is already cancerous enough as it is, you dont need to contribute to it by citing some random dudes supposed insider information

[fossil basin]

I do not have definite proof on sex worker situation, i just showed proof on neighbors' being worried due possible substance abuse/agression, and proof of substance abuce however

[pale flower]

His death is being reported locally here already

[half heath]

about asmongold: https://www.reddit.com/r/Asmongold/comments/1g574c2/why_apologize/ls8zz66/

[forest sigil]

Some people just never got past gamergate

[half heath]

I'm just glad he's dumb enough to show his true self right after a pr apology

[trim flicker]

oh well

[hollow stirrup]

Oh that's not

Apparently TMZ aired the body, which is insane

Not the chisme

[fossil basin]

Apparently the source that has the sex worker story works at the hotel or something like that, as they state on thread

[marsh oracle]

Not even message timestamps

[haughty steppe]

man can you not post weird speculative shit

[fossil basin]

Far from speculative

I was asked to give proof, i give it, gets erased

What else can i give

[haughty steppe]

unmarked messages aren't proof

what's not clicking

[marsh oracle]

Bro its literally a screenshot of random words in a messaging app without timestamps or even the pretense of a sender

peepeepoopoo

[haughty steppe]

woah there language mister

[fossil basin]

i will have to wait time to prove me right or wrong, because this seems pointless

[marsh oracle]

Ok I dont think you get it

Its not about being right or wrong

The point is that youre on the other side of the world with no way to verify any information just randomly spreading stuff you see being posted by random sources with no known credibility

[fossil basin]

"random source" and it's people at the scene

[marsh oracle]

If it turns out tomorrow that the sex worker stuff is true you would still be in the wrong for posting "insider information" from another discord server

[fossil basin]

That or people working at the location

[haughty steppe]

you literally don't know that that person is telling the truth

[marsh oracle]

How do you know theyre on the scene?

[fossil basin]

I do not think his neighbors would all at once move or get out from their hotel rooms at once, and police were clearly at the scene to investigate the body

I am not saying all of the sources i cite were on scene, i never said it

[marsh oracle]

This has nothing to do with what I asked

[fossil basin]

But some where

[marsh oracle]

You didnt post a Police report

You posted somebody posting a screenshot of 5 messages without a sender

[marsh oracle]

Dude

Ah whatever man

We are 2 years away from ai images cooking everybodys brains

[fossil basin]

This is exactly what you asked

[fossil basin]

I had posted news sites citing local police as a source

[pale flower]

I think we can probably shift back to his actual death rather than arguing over the exact details...

[marsh oracle]

Here have a funny meme https://fxtwitter.com/emeraldappul/status/1846643611728748961?t=HVP2eipGADjkFf2RgJB5aA&s=19

[trim flicker]

Their follow up post there was pretty funny
"Hm yes the people blocking other users were the real threat"

Cause they phrased it like people were blocking others just to be able to shittalk without them seeing

Lmao

[marsh oracle]

Blocking people is abuse

[fossil basin]

Fuck that discord-ass block feature

[hoary charm]

like 90% sure that rule applies to the platform owner (so more like the ability to suspend users)

not on the user end

[fossil basin]

I tried to block someone through discord but it clearly did not work

They could see what i posted, i could see what they posted

It was an annoying disaster

[marsh oracle]

That would be unfortunate

[fossil basin]

If your posts are set to public, accounts you have blocked will be able to view them, but they will not be able to engage (like, reply, repost, etc.).

if you saw that notice about a Terms of Service update, this is the main clause it changed.

[hoary charm]

i dont get the reaction to this

do people really think logging out or making a new account is an actual barrier to anyone who wanted to bother you

[blazing depot]

It is though

Many people don't do those extra steps. In fact the majority don't

It obviously won't deter the hardcore harassers, but it will at least inconvenience them

[fossil basin]

It does not help that each change Elon does to the app seems to be for either stalking his ex wife easier or for saying slurs easier

Or just ruin general convinience because one feature inconvinienced his clout

[blazing depot]

All of that is just putting the base legality of this change aside, too (EU is gonna have fun with this one)

[marsh oracle]

I think its mainly that there really isnt a use case for this

Like whats the point

[hoary charm]

muh town square is whatever i dont care

idk man i guess i dont get the importance of the block when making a new account is so easy, they still cant interact

[blazing depot]

There is though, in fact it's the only reason this change exists. Elon's own account visibility.

[marsh oracle]

Thats not how the change works

Unless elon has personally blocked a ton of people

[fossil basin]

And also for paid bots

[fossil basin]

Elon has been personally blocked by and blockbed varying people

[marsh oracle]

It doesnt matter how many peoples he is blocked by

This change only impacts people elon has blocked seeing elons posts

[hoary charm]

i think people are assuming that they'll make it so blocked accounts still appear in your for you?

in which case yeah thats a dogshit change

[marsh oracle]

Isnt that the same thing, that direction isnt changed

Not yet anyway, decent chance they cook that up next

[hoary charm]

pretty sure blocks and mutes do actually remove people from all your feeds

[marsh oracle]

Yes

But this change

Is about you showing up in the feed of people that you have blocked

Not them showing up on yours

[hoary charm]

ah right

yeah idk, confusing

[blazing depot]

Yes, and then said accounts can take screenshots and use those on their big main prompting their deranged following to signal boost it into your "for you", no matter what you have blocked.

[marsh oracle]

we also get the same ads whenever we watch football and shit

one of them is “kamala is for they/them” which i think is a little bit funny

the previously mentioned one I send the duck to is now just sending the same ad every day around 10am

[fossil basin]

We have those in turkey

Also bad news, there is apparently a sect of doctors at a private hospital rather believable, which committed constant insurance fraud by causing healthy newborn babies to be put in intensive medical care and causing their deaths

It is confirmed that several of those doctors have worked under or were in same organizations as somewhat prominent government officials and allied bloc members

https://anatoliatoday.com/prosecutor-seeks-500-years-in-prison-for-mafia-accused-of-killing-babies/

we have definite leaked messages and conversations that puts the complicitness to the nurses/doctors that are quite frankly too graphic and disturbing

As well as several people pulling their babies from the hospital before they were to be killed, the pulled off babies were fine off, despite their families having to sign papers that stated "if my baby dies it is my fault"

I will never understand parents who would rather pay for this than make that combo themselves if they have to go with something like that

lunchlys and lunchables format pisses me off

it's just too little food for anyone not in kindergarten

I would counter that and say kindergarten aged kids need a lot more food than that

that's like a rapid growth stage of adolescence.

[fossil basin]

i mean yeah but if one were to consider them as snacks instead of meals, it would be a bit more reasonable

snacks do not often have the best material quality in them

which is why lunchly's quality lunchables claim makes zero sense

[eager parrot]

just take your kids to costco and get them a pizza if you have to

for the same price as a pack of lunchables.
