Rent control didn’t work anywhere where was tried. It leads to less houses on the market, making the issue even worse. The housing market is too damn expensive, specially due to inflation and the wages not following it. Also everyone wanting to live in overcrowded cities doesn’t help, meaning you either need build more houses or give tax incentives for companies and people to go live in smaller cities.
Even this morning, I saw a headline, “Musk Might Have to Have Surgery.” And not from a tabloid. You really believe that, media? Right after the cage match was back on? And he never mentioned it before? Fucking credulous people.
Good for him. That said, he is the most low-energy game show host I have ever seen. When my daughter was first born, we didn’t have much to do, so we would watch daytime TV and his hosting on Let’s Make a Deal is just terrible (if he’s still doing it). It sounded like he was bored and didn’t want to be there every episode.
Sorry, I had to rant about Wayne Brady for a second.
I wonder if it’s just bad direction? Wayne Brady is one of the funniest people I’ve seen on TV - but I haven’t seen him hosting anything. So it can’t be him. It has to be someone directing him.
Agreed. He can sing jokes on the spot and dance anyone into a corner if left to his own devices. Bad acting isn’t coming from him. It would have to be stamped out by someone else
I saw one episode, but now that you mention it, yeah that’s the vibe I got as well. It felt like he was trying to emulate Howie, but it might have just been really boring.
Police also appealed to the public for help in determining what had happened.
‘It appears to the untrained eye that this is a simple case of some white people fucking around and finding out but we need some white witnesses to tell us that it is all the black suspects fault.’
He baits the press and they always byte it. Guy doesn’t really need to spend much on marketing for his products since due to the fact the press (even Lemmy) hate him, he always get free marketing.
Look at the bright X sign. He put it there, they forced him to remove it, a fine was paid of about $4k. During that time the press wouldn’t shut up about the sign. We’re speaking about Reuters level media giving him free market. Even Lemmy didn’t shut up about it. He got millions of dollars in free marketing with the stunt, and this is just one example.
I’m guessing he purposely is fucking up things to show on media, he made a rebrand from Twitter to X without spending a dime on marketing.
I know there is the old adage of all publicity is good publicity, but he’s only getting negative publicity right now and it appears to not be helping him, especially not on Twitter, which is still hemorrhaging users and advertisers. Tesla’s stock is down and their CFO just quit. Neuralink is getting investigated by the feds. And now he wants to look like an idiot by getting into a cage match with a BJJ blackbelt who’s much younger and fitter than him.
I don’t see a downside to playing all that up. He has more money than he will ever be able to spend. The only way to hurt him is to humiliate him.
According to him and some other data I found that’s not true. Advertisers got a bit spooked, but they’re now coming back. Apple TV even released a full episode on Twitter in order to advertise a new show.
Tesla’s stock is down and their CFO just quit
Don’t see any relation to the matter, people quit and change jobs all the time.
Neuralink is getting investigated by the feds Good.
BJJ blackbelt who’s much younger and fitter than him
Yes. Mark Zuckerberg is pretty damn fit, surprisingly. He is a BJJ black belt and has won a bunch of tournaments.
As for Twitter and its advertisers, I have no idea what sort of site that is or what credibility it has, but I’d say a lot less credibility than the BBC. www.bbc.com/news/business-66217641
I see you posted this article to 3 communities. According to the comments on this post if you use the cross post function (in the default web frontend), it will only show once in the feeds instead of 3 times (which can be a bit annoying).
The thing is though, just today I saw in another group someone complaining that someone had posting an article to multiple groups…but it was the only time I had seen it. Another commenter mentioned how not everyone is in the same groups, and not everyone is seeing something multiple times. You might be in all those groups, but there will be folks like I was this morning who’s only following one of them and one sees one.
And the point is moot anyway because I can’t exactly use lemmy’s cross posting feature if I’m on kbin.
My bad, I didn’t realize you were from Kbin. I don’t know how it works there.
Another commenter mentioned how not everyone is in the same groups, and not crime is seeing something multiple times.
Sure, I don’t complain about sending the same post to multiple communities. On the contrary, I encourage it! And thanks for generating content, that helps all of us.
I was just trying to help with the cluttering of the feed.
It’s not generating content though - 4 copies of a link is the same content as 1 copy of the link. And because it’s in 4 places, the comment section of each is diluted.
We can agree in that it’s not generating 4 different posts. What I mean is that they are posting (more than zero posts) and I find that good for growing the fediverse.
because it’s in 4 places, the comment section of each is diluted.
AFAIK crossposting is not different in that regard (but maybe that’s not what you implied, or maybe I’m wrong).
Interesting take. Sorry that I can’t read all comments all the time, I do have a life you know. I like to think I will eventually read all comments, but if people would report comments, that would really help.
Yet you are still here arguing with me instead of doing your damn job you signed up for when you became a mod
You can ignore me and scroll down to find the stupid anti -bi shit any time you want. Or keep getting defensive and arguing with me to make yourself feel better. Your choice.
Could you give some examples, or are you just here to be angry? We try to walk the thread between deleting hatespeech and not censoring opinions. Sometimes we get it wrong, so do let us know if you think you know better.
Yet you’re here bootlicking lazy and ineffective mods on a server that allows alt-right bullshit as if it is, so I guess it must be
Go ask the mods if they’ll pay your rent this month for defending hate on their shitty platform. I’m sure your landlord will take their IOU scribbled in crayon
Moderation is always going to be a tricky game. People assume that any comments that aren’t deleted are therefore validated by mods, even when they can cover extremes that are very far apart. With a topic like this, the extreme ends are probably going to be people at one end who think anyone who doesn’t confirm to a ‘traditional’ sexuality is some kind of abomination, and at the other end folk who think the people saying the ‘abomination’ shit shouldn’t be allowed to participate. It’s gonna be very hard to moderate that without pissing at least some people off. Like I say, a tricky game - but just because some people are unhappy doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
Me, I’d say that unfortunately there are some extreme opinions out in the world and even when I don’t share them I don’t want to pretend they don’t exist. I’d rather have the opportunity to discuss them, dispute them, maybe try to change them. But open hate speech, threats, personal abuse, or advocacy of violence should be a definite no. Just IMO.
You need to relax. You are talking a lot about the proper way to moderate while actively breaking the rules in a community by being so hostile. Appreciate the irony of that for a second.
And for the record and my defense, before you accuse me of trying to defend the alt right or something, there are some shitty comments in this thread I wish would get removed. The jokes about sexual attraction to cookware are overdone, toxic, and annoying, and that is just the mild side of what was in this thread. The mods removing the outright hostility is a start, but letting gender and sexual minorities be the butt of the joke over and over is not a great way for a space to be
@Thekingoflorda if you are reading this consider removing those jokes.
If it was one I would agree with you. Several people saying it in several places in the thread though, reminds me of that “I identify as an attack helicopter”, which is more transphobic because of its being spammed by people with agendas than because of the explicit content. This seems like a similar, if less popular, kindof homophobic “meme”.
And yet they’re not doing anything about me, so what does that tell you about the quality of modding here, and by extension the quality of the instance?
.world is a shithole for this reason among many others, and it dominates every other instance because the admin of it is sympathetic to alt-right dipshits and the cultists are taking advantage of it. The mod of this sub themself probably doesn’t actually give a shit about the dumb hate shit other people are posting in the comments.
That I see are still here, and so does everyone else.
But go ahead and keep trying to save face by arguing with me instead of complaining to the mods about the hate crap like you ought to be doing. Or even better, if it’s that trivial to you, why don’t you mind your own business and go away? It’s not your job so why should you care, right?
I do, on my subs here on lemm.ee, which I joined specifically to get away from you stupid-ass bigoted clowns at .world, and you remind me of why I did.
My subs are quite splendid, by the way. Because I don’t allow bigots and actually enforce it. 😎 Have fun drowning in your own hate and incompetence. I’m sure the alt-right dipshits who took over your server will give you a tissue while you whine and cry to me.
Lol nah, I left that shitty instance of yours for a reason. Only reason I’m even here is because you are flooding every other and Lemmy doesn’t allow individuals to block instances yet
