There’s some fictional reality where young people yearn for the factories. Ignoring the second half of the story where that actual generation dreamed of a world where their children didn’t have toil in manufacturing.
Also ignoring the fact that wages have been going up for lowest earners.
He is the epitome of privilege. A criminal that not only faces no consequences but gets rewarded. A temper tantrum throwing cry baby yet some how doesn’t affect his character (to about half the country).
I had the realization about this distinction several years ago regarding reddit. Over the years of attrition by various controversies, reddit no longer has moderators. They’ve all left. There are moderators in name but they do not moderate.
Many set the mod bots to do bot things and then fuck right off. To be fair moderating global scale messageboard is kind of an impossible task. Much less to do it for free. Can’t fault the the old school internet moderators for leaving.
On another note. There’s no way to tiptoe around the issue of intelligence. The baseline level of discourse just isn’t capable of hard topics as it used to be. People seem to like the social drama that arises out of lack of moderation. That biases towards the lowest common denominators. It’s like a modern day Jerry Springer shock jock entertainment. But live and interactive! Social media users seem to revel in it. Bread and circuses…
Thiel is one of reddits earliest investors. spez is a Thiel boy.
This whole time I can’t believe how reddit managed to hold up a facade of being a cool progressive college student platform. They pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes. It’s as if they put lipstick on /pol/ and /b/. And everyone was like, alright a hip liberal platform. Sure if you ignore the iceberg of right wing bootlicking shit beneath the surface of the default subreddits.
This comment is in every single thread. Always.
Do you guys work off the same notes or what.
The NPC type people. It’s like they don’t exactly have a conscious that can be spoken with.
Some of you reading this might think I’m referring to individuals I think are dumb but it’s not that. I don’t know if it makes sense there’s a type of person that thinks they’re above others. And that it is them who are interacting with everyone else who are NPCs.
Like, dude. Snap out of it and talk to people like a normal human being.
The clothing color could be due to lighting. Remember the blue black dress meme? Multiple backpacks is too easy. So that’s a non-issue.
That being said. Why isn’t anyone considering that maybe the cops couldn’t give a shit either. But they have to try because the money people said so.
Something has happened which nobody probably not even Republicans thought could happen. Reality does not have liberal bias.
Democrats are still operating on this assumption. They figure people will vote for them by virtue of some 60/40 (or whatever unbalanced) scale that naturally leans left. Unfortunately I don’t think they have gotten the wake up call even now. They cannot just do whatever the fuck (like being a party of the rich) under the assumption that if they get enough people to vote regardless of political affiliation then they will win.
It’s why Harris grew her support among voters making over $100,000 a year and lost support among voters making less.
This has been very evident on certain parts of the internet. Especially spaces where the tech workers hang out. They all talk like they can identify with working class folk. You simply cannot point out they are out of touch with the working class without causing them serious brain malfunction.
“B-but my avocado toast cost of living”, fuck I wish they would can it already. Nobody making over $100,000, certainly not well above that is struggling that hard. You aren’t. Sorry (not really) but that’s the facts. Always some wise guy got to chime in with some anecdote about how they personally are though.
It’s not just the party Democrats but liberals and leftists making over $100,000 a year who live in another reality. One where they are the stuffy old rich people. Only they do not see themselves this way. They are having a very hard time seeing it. This is where the Republicans were pre-Trump. The dead end party stuck in their old rich people ways. The tables have turned.
That includes you, millennials. Yes, you the rich ones. You are rich old people now.
Basically reddit 10-15 years ago. The doomsday edging gets stale when you realize things are cyclical. Millennials were supposed to implode with debt by now. An economic cycles or two later and that didn’t happen. Now it’s Gen-Zs turn to be on the brink of doom.
Another way to look at this is a back channel method of breaking down the big tech oligopoly.
I’m all for this. Kids are smart. They start using the rest of the internet. They’ll become tech savvy.
When dental care started being covered here suddenly my parents had a bunch of urgent issues. The guy is bit of a diva too. He absolutely will not acknowledge the patients at all who not scheduled for procedure with him. Not even a “hi” or anything. Dentists are a weird bunch.
Still don’t get it.
That makes sense. Asians don’t even seem to be in conversation on racial issues. I could see them slipping this under the radar.
Nice to finally see someone talk about this. Every time I see those popular posts on reddit litigating how good their boomer parents have it, all I can hear is cry-bragging about how wealthy they are.
Kinda weird they’re making demands of men after divulging they’re nonbinary
What’s weird?
I’m pretty sure samygo killed the storage chip on my TV due to wear. I suspected it was going to be a problem seeing as the hack dumps log files indiscriminately.
I’d be more upset if I actually used the smart TV stuff.
I’ve been calling this for years. The next holocaust will be more efficient than Hitler could ever imagine beyond his wildest dreams. Big tech knows more than people know about themselves. We’re all on lists we don’t even know we’re on. People will be discriminated for reasons they didn’t know they could be.
Social platforms are under the same effect as voting. Over half population either supports it or is too ill informed. They just want to scroll their feed without thinking too much. Same way voters just vote for the one that sounds alright on the surface. Combined with the fervent supporters makes a majority. It’s the minority of voters/users who are opinionated against it.
Woke == Haram. It’s christian sharia law. You know, that thing conservatives have been fear mongering about for what like 20 years. Except want their version of it for real.
The fediverse doesn’t need perpetual growth. That’s VC investor bullshit. You don’t need to be posting on a platform where the whole world is present. Again more corporate bullshit. As is the “digital town square” thing. It sounds profound but it’s pompous.
What made the internet so good was variety. Which is what reddit seemed to offer in a time when the older paradigms namely message boards were becoming antiquated.
What we got with the oligopoly of social platforms is watered down to memes and politics. It’s right wing cultural imperialism quite frankly. People have been battered into fear of being who they are online because in this age of centralized internet has made it a war to remove anything unacceptable (aka “woke”). There’s no variety. There’s nobody being themselves.
The fedeverse will have arrived if it manages to achieve distinct varieties. On a technical basis it’s perfectly positioned to achieve this. Right now it’s largely just reddit clones offering little more than an extension of the cultural/political wars embroiling the handful of centralized social media platforms.
