The things you are exposing yourself to on your phone?

Along the way in life I have met plenty of people who did have the awful things in life happen to them, and yet they still take this position. I have met many people who have been subject to bigotry all their lives, but then an trans person comes into the picture, and they expose themselves to be equally bigoted, and equally without empathy, and just as vicious.

People develop this way because they desperately want to be part of the power holding in-group, not the powerless out-group. So they will have their own out-group of marginalized people, whom they can feel some of that power over.

Someone is getting ready for some time travel shenanigans

There has always been true journalists, and it seems there are periods where groups become more prominent in waves, like you describe with that period, but, at least from the many news papers I have read from that time, from the US, Canada, and the UK it was all corporate voice, and extremely ham fisted government propaganda, and that portion of journalism seems to be outlier. Newspapers needs sales, Ads need viewer, etc., and sensationalist bullshit, outrage, and gossip, have always been the solution to that.

I can’t tell you how many ads I have seen for over consumption, especially of questionable shit, with the US government calling for being a real American, or whatever, that buys this American product. Write-ups about military actions, especially ones with natives, that are basically just fabricated stories about brave christian soldiers protecting innocent homesteaders from the savages. When I first started looking these up I was kinda surprised at how bad it was actually, and I was expecting pretty much the same. The biggest thing I noticed was that there was a LOT more long form article 200 years ago. However they, like today, were largely industry/political puff pieces, socialite blather, etc.

Also, the amount of casual libel in century plus old news papers is insane. Absolutely would not fly today.

Have you ever read newspapers from the 19th or 18th centuries? Cause I have bad news for you about the history of journalism.

And this is all beyond the point I was trying to make, which was Ukraine has reasons be hostile towards Iran beyond “Da israel controls them”. Also, look how well negotiation with Russia is going for them.

Anyways, since you keep talking beyond my point, and trying to have a different conversation, I am just gonna turn off notifications for you.

I am not asking Iran to do anything. I am saying Ukraine has reasons to be hostile towards Iran that have nothing to do with Israel. Everyone involved in any of this are terrible when you scrutinize them, fuck all of them.

Iran has been aiding Russia this whole war. Ukraine being hostile to Iran is because of that.

Yes, I guarantee you that if he had any capacity to nuke Iran, he would

could she just possibly be even more selfish than the others, and it brings her, coincidentally, into alignment with a single reasonable idea. Like her selfishness disallows her to even lie to herself about the safety of the nation.

Hey now, great depression america wasn’t trying to get into wars of aggression all over the place

I bet your house smelled wonderful after you made that

chili oil with a splash of chinese five spice, sounds good

it is so disheartening to live in a world where the real career killer for state operaters, waging an illegal war of agression, is the that oil prices significantly increase, and not the crimes against humanity being committed for absolutely bullshit reasons.

my personal view of this is that, as phones became something people were on all the time, regardless of what they happened to be doing, more people started using speaker because they are often doing multiple things at once, or need to pay better attention to what is happening around them. I believe that hands free units in cars have also played a part normalizing just using speaker phone, especially when needing to pay attention to what is happening around them in public.

once the game is over tokens get cashed in, I believe he understands this, if only deep down.

Yeah, friend’s of my parents used to live close to the corridor they went through and would go take pictures almost every year. They stopped doing it because they had to travel farther and farther, and it was just all around harder to find the big migratory groups. They did this from the mid 70’s til the early 2010s.

look up food cost videos at the Texas state fair on YT. It is absolutely out of control. Completely unhinged.

That is not “allowing us to be the sole host of the thing that is destroying our economy and trust in all media from inside out”. That is keeping parity with it. China is also having major issues with fabricated media from AI. The Chinese government has also latched on to AI, as many others, to manipulate media, and many other police state things. Their economy is heavily, heavily, invested in the success of llms. When this bubble bursts, it will be bad for every major economy on earth, as they are all disproportionately invested in this.

China is 38%, and growing, of the world’s investment in LLMs
