Not really. If you see a stranger kicking a vending machine, there’s a (well-documented!) bias to think “that much be a violent and angry person” instead of “that person is having such a bad day they’re kicking vending machines now.”

You could go dig all the way into material and social situations that caused a person to yada yada yada, but that’s way deeper in.

For the debate bros in the crowd, the error RoomAndBored is pointing out is an example of the fundamental attribution error, also known as correspondence bias.

It’s like if a monkey at the zoo is flinging poop everywhere, and then you see the same monkey put on a little suit.

Though I’d prefer the monkey of course.

It doesn’t make the racism funny, it’s just funny that the racist knows a thing.

Do you want the entire day’s worth of walking past farms on the way in?

The US has 612 billionaires so those prices work out to about the same.

Time to unionize the posters.

you’ll never be able to make proper leftist memes if you can’t get that WPM up

Lib shit

Actually that’s racist/propaganda/etc and here’s why

You’re a CCP bot

Hog out or log out, PPB, etc

ah the good old days, where instead of recommendation algorithms you had some guy deliberately adding more popular artists’ names to songs so you’d accidentally download them and broaden your horizons a bit

shoutouts to whoever mislabeled Chylinska as Rammstein in 2001 btw, you made me like 5% cooler

I think there are situations where that guy’s comment are fine, and situations where it’s not, and their telling of the story most likely hides a shitty reactionary context.

Like that thing where antifeminists show up in feminist discussions and start talking about male circumcision; it’s a legitimate issue (that feminists care about!) being used to shout over a different one. Or like how “all lives matter” was used to shout down people saying “black lives matter,” even though the statement “all lives matter” would be good in response to anti-homeless rhetoric.

Yeah, Google is supposed to de-prioritize websites that hide content. Whatever bribe LinkedIn keeps paying them notwithstanding.
