Clowns to the left of me. Jokers to the right.
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
“my favorite platform” homie it’s an app to read the news. I don’t give a shit if you use it haha.
I think it’s pretty good. Other people don’t. I don’t really care either way. Give it a try if you’re curious.
That’s a very healthy mindset to have. Too many people happily lock themselves into many bubbles/echo chambers and they lose all perspective. Just because you discuss topics with people doesn’tean you have to agree with them. It’s still important to know what other views exist out there.
I wish more people were like you.
I’ll just save you the trouble. Ground news probably isn’t for you.
Mind blowing? No lol.
But it does reveal what topics both sides either avoid covering or cover poorly.
It’s nothing that should really surprise anyone at this point but it is a good reminder that where you get your news will leave you “blind” (heh) to certain things.
A good example would be like a good guy with a gun situation. Basically any situation that was “saved” by a good guy with a gun doesn’t get much coverage on the left or if they do cover it they tend to ignore the 2A aspect of the event or downplay it’s significance.
On the flip side any news that looks bad for 2A advocates will basically not get reported on by the right at all.
What blind spot is nice for is reading articles from both sides on the same event since they both report on it differently. Reading both and taking into account the underlying biases of each source make you feel like you get a better picture of the whole situation as opposed to just one view.
TL;DR: Not mind blowing at all, but kinda interesting if used correctly.
Yeah… I have a rule that I don’t take any advice from Australians ever.
They lost a war to some overgrown chickens for fuck sake.
What if I was paid and this was actually just 4d chess guerilla marketing?
JK I wish I was getting paid to say shit like that.
Shit I would do an ad read for the Taliban if it would get me outta financial prison.
Ground news is pretty dope and the only people hating on it seem to be the people that have never used it, but thinks that it’s automatically bad because of the whole left/right thing.
It’s still a place to consume a large amount of news very quickly and at a glance you can see if one side isn’t reporting on something or if they are reporting on it using very different language or focusing on different aspects on the topic.
Nothing will ever be perfect, but as the saying goes the enemy of perfect is good.
Remember when you could download limewire pro using limewire? Those were the days.
Every other song I downloaded was actually just bill Clinton’s speech: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”
Yup. No problem though. In the future AI can just add the now very real town to you AR eyeballs brought to you by Chipotle Exxon and T mobile.
Would this be the same AI that spits out incorrect summarys or just flat out gets data incorrect constantly? What could possibly go wrong by making that the ONLY way to look for things going forward. Fucking morons.
Guy notorious for lying consistently is sure to keep his word this time!
Fucking idiots.
I am a big advocate for nuclear. Those salt reactors look very promising.
We just need to fill in the gaps between solar and wind. Get off coal.
Yeah I don’t care for that. If you have a word and it’s been used for something for a long time I do not see the need to change it if it suddenly starts offending people later.
Like working on cars. Lots of parts on cars use terms that some people are now taking offense too. Master/slave to refer to parts that work in a chain of command. Or male and female fittings to describe a connection that protrudes and a connection that has a hole in it.
I’m not going to change my vocabulary because suddenly after hundreds of years people are deciding they don’t like the words anymore. They make sense in that application to describe the function of the parts and there is no need to change it. Nobody is being called a master or slave. Nobody is being called a male or female. These are car parts that got named the way they did because it made the most sense.
I’m not gonna get upset with people using the term “fat” to describe anything wide or large just because I’m overweight. That was be stupid.
When did I assume everyone feels the same way?
I never said it was wrong for people to take offense to the word inherently. My point is that it’s a choice to get offended by a word. Some people don’t like other random words and they freak out about it. I knew a guy in highschool that hated the word “moist” and because he had such an entertaining reaction to it everyone on the class made sure use it as much as possible. Eventually he stopped being bothered by the word entirely. The meaning hadnt changed. He just chose to stop being bothered by it.
Stop letting other peoples words have so much power over your.
You seem to think this is bothering me or something. I am asking you if you even know the definition of the word fascist.
You keep boycotting companies you aren’t gonna have clothing or a car or be able to look outside soon lol
Can you even tell me the definition of a fascist? Because I can guarantee you by any way you slice it I do not fit that bill even a tiny amount lol.
Unless of course we are using the made up version of the word where it means “anyone that I don’t like” which is how some of y’all seem to use it.
I consider 4 people my “parents” as in they all helped raise me to varying degrees. My bio mom and dad obviously. My dad’s second wife and now his third wife both helped ar different points of my life.
My mom is about to re-marry finally but I’m a little old to be parented by her new man so he’s sorta just a guy who makes my mom happy as opposed to yet another parent.
When they got rid of the open voice chat between teams at the start, halftime switch and ending it basically went away.
I do miss the halftime shit talk spam though. The picosecond everyone could talk to each other you would just get 10 open mics screaming random shit. One guy would just be calling the opposing teams top Fragger a cheating sack of shit. Someone else would bully the bottom Fragger on the other team for only having 4 kills in a half. Someone would blast ear rape music.
A simpler time. haha
