Reality is a team sport, to some people. They don’t mean things when they say words. They’re just signalling loyalty to their ingroup hierarchy, and playing a dominance game where they get to decide what’s true. It’s not a judgement call. In their worldview there is no objective means to evaluate claims. There’s just whatever their guy says, and whatever our guy says, and their guy is right because he’s their guy.

So please stop falling for it when they declare themselves fiscal experts. They don’t give the slightest shit. They’re just shuffling cards. It’s another song and dance they do, to grasp for narrative legitimacy. Nothing else exists in their moral universe.

I don’t care if the robot that speaks English read the entire library.

How else was it going to happen?

Situation: there are 14 competing editors.

Yeah.

D’ya like being considered human?

Because that’s not a guarantee for any of us, when one of the options is overt fascism.

Guru Meditation red.

Alternately: yellow-and-black ASCII approximating Evangelion’s ALART.

See Flash websites ripping each other off for five years on either side of Youtube’s introduction.

See Bittorrent moving more video than Netflix until like 2012.

See twenty years of web-based P2P experiments. Weirdos with fat hard drives (hi) will always be happy to seed.

Or - crazy thought - services could cost money. It would not take much. Youtube’s not getting ten bucks each time you watch a video. Bandwidth and storage keep getting cheaper. Nor are they paying for content, unlike Netflix and so on, and those fuckers are also considering ads.

The feds.

Both users are angry.

Advertising is poison.

We could just ban it.

My PC doesn’t even have a microphone.

‘The way you act makes people think you’re a crank.’

‘So it’s a conspiracy!’

Incorrect.

Enjoy your persecution fantasy, I’m’a block this account too.

Wow. You… do not know how other people read your behavior.

Projecting emotion is a tactic to dismiss criticism.

Was the typed-out laughter not clear enough?

What you’re doing is awful and how you defend it is nonsense. If you’re about to pull some ‘how would you feel’ gambit, save your keystrokes. People’s behavior allows separate moral judgements for the same consequences, and your behavior is bad, actually.

If you’re about to try reporting any of this feedback before a smug ‘I thought you liked when mods do things,’ shoot your shot. It won’t change anything I said.

My guy, you’re here using a separate account, after I blocked the other. What else am I supposed to call that? Maybe you’re not the right person to ask, if you think being called on your blatant Russian propaganda stream constitutes a “slur.”

That’s why your comments and others were deleted

Oh hey I didn’t even think to check that modlog.

lemmy.world is not welcome in this sub

Lemmy.world respondonts are not welcome here.

NAFO troll

One guy tried arguing based on your own posted article and you deleted them with “B$ my prerogative.”

Wait. One of these is your own comment.

Removed Comment I have blocked the entire lemmy.world domain for a reason, so why is that domain block not working?! Goddamn pussies that have to run and complain to the teacher! by Old_Geezer
reason: Instance Rule #2: Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.

Ha ha, even in your own little fiefdom you get slapped down.

Shitting up All with propaganda is bad enough without also sockpuppeting here in this sub that’s definitely not yours.

Aren’t you the anti-Ukraine agitator that spams [email protected]? I thought I blocked your horseshit.

Rat bastard.

1 FPS doesn’t sound that bad.

… oh.
