I'd argue that this isn't television any more than YouTube is television. With new systems comes new rules.

My rules are that "they" are out to exploit me with tracking so I'd rather pirate content or go without.

No, thanks for the tip!

Anyone know anything about the reinforced concrete theory?

This. And rather the "cheap steel"-con if it comes to structural conspiracies.

Still, it's a longer stretch than bombs for me.

This isn't news, it's an ad for a product you sell. It's fine when you post in s/technology or s/ads, but don't post ads as news.

Interesting post. But I think the problem is that we're assuming an AI can correctly judge a character on their appearance.

It's a CNN site with a spoopy subdomain (www-m.cnn.com, really?).

If they said the earth was round, I'd start to doubt it.

George Lucas Felt Betrayed By Disney Star Wars

Theres serious speculations that Lucas still holds rights to a lot of the original trilogy.

Is Adam Schiff involved with child trafficking rings? Is that why Trump referred to him as "Liddle" Schiff?

Liddle Kidz Foundation certifies child and baby masseurs.

That's probably as close to dodgy you can get without being straight up dodgy.

Imagine being so manipulated, controlled, and suckered by Big Oil Propaganda that you spend your days being upset and triggered by a young environmental activist, instead of just tuning out mainstream news LOL weak minds are everywhere, on all sides, duped into arguing for oil companies & pollution
Ian 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

Basically, don't respons to propaganda?

Until you're big enough to create a parallel society that rivals the original, you're only marginalizing your own point of view by not participating in the general discourse.

"Removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him; the online radicalization that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified+reanimated."
Ian 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun 4 years ago

When people say that the Republicans accepted Trump with open arms, I really can't take them seriously.

It's not even four years ago and they're already propagandized to the point where they've forgotten his candidacy was a joke to them.

Now imagine if these people were to draw on events 20 years ago or 60?

The situation is far weirder than anyone has any idea.

I agree 100%, but the mechanisms for keeping the secret is clear as day to me. And it won't change and let go of the narrative sans a catastrophe like leaks or storming A51 actually succeeding.

So "focusing" on a guy who've proven he can keep a secret is backwards to me.

Edit: Started reading up on it and it's getting rave reviews. Only thing that's stopping me from ordering this right now is that it doesn't support touchscreen on linux yet.

The people in a position to disclose could have done it long before TTSA and deLonge if they wanted.

Saying that the current dripclose isn't fast enough so people should focus on one of the guys who've held his mouth shut up until now seems fruitless.

As a seemingly former advisor of deLonge he seems to have done what he thinks is enough (or what his bosses has told him to disclose as a limited hangout).

Then you'd better get to it, the sooner you start the sooner you're finished.

I don't mind, I've read stuff that took YEARS to write.
