To play devil’s advocate – Liberalism, or the idea that the people who are ruled should have a say in the rules, started coming about ~500 years ago. The elite’s were all always evil and bad to the masses, enslaving us, paying us very little, even clocks and timekeeping were used to trick workers into more hours and when pocket watches became available, they were just banned in early industry.

A lot of people fought and died to establish the idea of Liberalism all the way up to unions and workers rights. So, in a way, ‘we’ did fight for those things and earned them over a long time. It does kind of feel like now the same ‘we’ has forgotten the value of that stuff and the sacrifice it took to get there.

I still don’t really see this as our fault. We live in gilded age II where money is virtue no matter how its acquired. The internet broke the stable propaganda machines and we’re in flux of stabilizing around the new ones and kicking out the smaller bad actors.

Take a shit on the passbar, screech like an alien in a movie and then just walk out… or at least that was always my fantasy

What? Surely that’s not true

Especially for real law, you would have to define propaganda which I don’t think has really been done.

I have thought about it and I don’t see why all information isn’t some form of propaganda because you’re either bias on purpose by trying to persuade or bias by what you’re aware of and know which can’t be all information with our tiny human minds.

How do you measure bias without having some objective physical level model of the truth even?

I think the argument against TikTok and other Chinese companies is probably that you wouldn’t allow Facebook by Chinese Communist Party and this crosses the line into that. To be fair though, you could probably ultimately make the same argument for US companies. Why is there so much money available for ads for VPNs compared to the financials of that market? Only a few answers to that one…

to not would mean someone is controlling the propaganda I.e. all information

lanolinoil , 1 month ago

Yeah, that’s true-- but all the laws where ‘a reasonable person…’ make me feel like the porn definition “I know it when I see it!”

I will say I can feel the hype train with Manor Lords, which I usually am not a part of. I like that kind of game and already had furthest frontier so I picked it up.

I was pretty… shocked with how much was unfinished and how little soul and love the game felt like it had.

I figured I got duped and someone paid every youtuber on a slow week to hype it up since they missed some publisher deadline or whatever

you can point and laugh all you want but the real meat of this story is that trust in our institutions is this low.

lanolinoil , 1 month ago

No – I’m not saying we should trust our current institutions, nor that I trust them, but it does seem to be a big problem

Well yeah – The loss of decorum in the ruling class/aristocracy started rolling down the hill with Newt. Once you get a Caeser it’s just a matter of time before your Nero shows up.

I wish so bad I could get gold stars or bonus points for having been talking about gilded age II as soon as I learned what gilded age I was. Unfortunately, all I’ve gotten so far is inflation

This always has worked out pretty naturally for me. I do a lot of work travel and events so you do get close and build relationships with people – some can even become friends and I’d not be a fan of some way where you never allow yourself to make friends with people you spend 1/3 of 5/7 days with.

Even the people I’m close with and worked for years with I don’t call them in a crisis or share super personal stuff – Maybe the answer is you don’t depend on them or have them depend on you for anything.

I feel like I play a good amount of rouge likes – The best ones I finish one time, but Balaltro and Slice & Dice I have finished like 7 times each. Such great games.

lanolinoil , 2 months ago

Check out Slice & Dice if you need a new drug. I still think Balaltro is ultimately better

lanolinoil , 2 months ago

7 times meaning 7 of the models/difficulties

They should charge the doctor on duty and admins with a crime for that one in Houston – That is massively fucked up. They should have their licenses removed too absolutely unbelievable

Yeah I don’t care about the law if I was in charge of a hospital a woman isn’t giving birth in the lobby. Fuck the politicians too though

Amazing – slightly OT but anyone watch delicious in dungeon? I love they made a whole show just to show anime cooking segments

lanolinoil , 2 months ago

no I think it’s a main focus but I did notice a bit of a drop off when they got to the dragon – Hopefully they correct course because I’d quit watching if it was just anime – I don’t really watch anime

I can’t flood all the sales channels with my products with only a few products though – That would require me to make a quality product people really liked and kept coming back for like an Iphone or pixel and we can sell it through our own website

The sooner I get to my seat the sooner I’m out of the god damned airport and can begin whatever escapism I’ve chosen for the flight. The thing I truly hate is the airport and being in it.

I wish – I can’t really sleep on flights oddly but I can fall asleep instantaneously almost everywhere else.

There’s a great fake commercial in the new Reno 911 where Reineisha is selling a Kyle Rittenhouse costume for black people because ‘you’ll be safer dressed like this than with black skin’
