ohhhh fuuuuck the “troubled teen industry”. This is a nightmare of a can to crack open and the more you learn about it, the more you’ll hate the medical and legal systems in this country. Reader beware.

seriously… we’re talking about global elites who are raping and killing people. just say the words… ;-;

This is information suppression and narrative control. On top of algorithms influencing what results you see, you’ll now have a chatbot that can be even more strongly biased behind the scenes. Wouldn’t expect any better from Google / Silicon Valley. I’m sure the USA’s Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society are salivating at the thought.

The bill is cosponsored by Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), the daughter of Guatemalan immigrants who, she said, worked multiple minimum-wage jobs just to get by.

They said “a pair” so I’m dropping that for the Illinois folks.

I’d presume most tech-savvy people don’t have a smart TV, Windows 11 with copilot, a “smart” home system, or refrigerator with AI integrated.

Sounds like we have the same observations and feel the same frustrations about them. I look forward to being branded an agitator :')

Okay this is great that she’s free and all, but can we stop for a second and think about what happened here? A woman was grabbed off the street, beaten and brutalized (I’ve seen the arrest footage), and ripped out of her life, while being 100% peaceful and obedient.

I’m so sick of the one-sided violence, while we’re told to obey and be peaceful and whatever else.

One of the other traders was Virginia independent Mark Moran, who is running for Senate. Kalshi said Moran bet in October that he would announce a political run, and then publicly launched his campaign in January.

In an interview with CNN, Moran said the trades were a stunt so that a “longshot” candidate like himself could draw attention to “illegal gambling” happening on prediction sites.

Yeah I support this guy’s use. Really, it’s the system that is the problem; not the individual politicians. Besides, the President of the USA has done far worse.

I pray this ignites the general strike we’ve been yearning for. I’ll walk around town and see if I spot any folks. I’m looking forward to this!

A dozen will be an understatement. The tournament games span over a week. I think 100 is a closer figure, if FIFA doesn’t get their wish of ICE going on ‘vacation’.

I hope this period will be the end of folks whining “ughhh why are you so politicalll”. We’ve got just about every mainstream corporation backing fascism and now outright publishing edgelord manifestos.

Just imagining someone groaning “You don’t gotta be political all the time” and then opening up Google to find they put up the “Restore the Sanctity of the White Race” homepage theme FFS.

I really hope fear of a terrorist attack shuts the event down. Not an actual terrorist attack—I don’t want ordinary civilians to die—but if Iran purposely “leaks” plans to bomb the stadium to the media, I hope that might wreck the World Cup attendance; or even better, get teams to pull out.

Probably 99% of the people who go to the World Cup will be fine.

Brazil has a huge Football (USA Soccer) scene and makes up a large percentage of World Cup tourism. Being dark-skinned Hispanics, they are exactly who ICE targets.

This and reducing marijuana to Schedule III are two popular policies that Democrats are fucking stupid for passing up. If Democrats ever regain power, I do hope this might motivate the party to fully legalize marijuana, psychedelics, and other low-risk drugs like amphetamines.

To be fair, a few teens rocked his shit. That aside, I’d copy your sentiment for every one of these murderous CEOs, politicians, and oligarchs. I’ll note that some brave souls do seem to be fighting back.

Nah I get all that, and I was never one for drama-bait or click-bait slop. I don’t particularly care for trends or social media at all. That last tangent was a little too out of the scope of the original discussion and a bit of a vent. Shutting off the world doesn’t change the world around me; doesn’t change the instability and unpleasantness of it all; though I do it many days anyways.

For the bigger picture, I generally think TikTok and other social media is how racism and misogyny got popular. I’m old enough to remember when it seemed Leftist ideas dominated the internet. That fell, and I attribute much of that to the low-attention atmosphere and the way rage and hatred can remain captivating in that information ecosystem.

Again, this content is not something I subscribe to; but that doesn’t stop them from gaining relevance. So I’m sick of all the constant stress; the stupidity of the masses; the absurdity of this all. “Polycrisis” is a term I recall reading in an article; and that’s what I’m feeling.

Content is whatever. I fully subscribe to “Don’t like it? Find something else”. I just wish the bigger problems in my life and the overall changes in the wider world and internet could be “turned off” like a video or TV channel.

I’m only half-understanding this post. I think I agree with the message. I’m fed up and angry with how draining and uncertain the world is, and the constant click-baiting over minor aspects that seem meaningless to the overall picture (USA perspective) are possibly a part in how things got this bad. Most days I wish I could “cancel my subscription” to the overall scene. Perhaps that exhaustion is why his writing is less than coherent, or why I’m not reading it well.

Yes. The forcing of Korean captives into Japanese soldiers’ “comfort women” is a common sore point in geopolitics between both Koreas and Japan. Japan has refused to give a real apology, and occasionally South Korea and Japan have visible clashes over the topic.

so there’s a lot of speculation that [Kick is] owned by one or multiple of the big gambling platforms and it’s operated as an advertisement for online gambling

It’s not speculation. Kick is backed by the online crypto gambling platform Stake, which you may know as the site that streamer BossmanJack loses all his money on in those viral clips.
