My rental didn’t have a dish washer, got me a countertop one that hooks up to the sink. Almost as good a purchase as the bidet.

I’m not sure why we need share holders at all. Not sure what function they serve. A business can remain active without the stock market if they produce value. They could innovate and not necessarily be wholly motivated by profit above all else.

I didn’t attempt to. Just saying. You said it wasn’t impossible for government owed news media to dutifully report against the government. Maybe not, but our country’s kinda stacked the deck against that

Ok…. And you assume this will be true… if an American government… who established a Russian asset as president, is attempting to defund private schools so that they can give money to certain religious orgs and push a Christian message, who is trying to privatize the post office, and who refuse to answer to war crimes is a good environment to take control of the news media?

Journalists and editors need to eat. And the problem is if the government gets involved and funds it, well let’s just say that ends badly. Not even the post office is allowed to run without being fucked with by republicans, and then they are somehow forced to turn a profit, when they are also forced to run in a way that is antithetical to making profit based decisions. And now you have the government deciding for the news, what is biased. And no more reporting on government officials that aren’t just puff pieces.

Bummer.

I wonder if the word skibidi has out lasted its source only due to how fun it is to say. Can’t wait till mewing starts to embarrass the younger gens.

How about the companies that cause these don’t get to say whether the poisonous cloud will harm people? Some other body with relevant expertise and no financial ties with the offending company get to make that call. And treat any company who does make claims an immediate pathway to piercing the corporate veil.

Jfc just what ever. Like usual playing games with commitments already made. So sick of this every time.

My dude! Your last paragraph was about how women don’t get to talk about men like that. She never mentioned anything about Schrödingers joke being from men, or a man. You supplied the justification to call her a hypocrite in your own mind. You admit she didn’t mention men, and without missing a beat justified calling her a hypocrite because you assumed she had made comments against men at some point in the past?

And even if she did, it would not be hypocrisy because she did not single out and attack men here. So she could not be a hypocrite in that way. Someone has gotten ahold and poisoned your mind and you now paint your perspective to where random comments are calling you out! The very shadows plot against you! That’s not healthy. And it’s the kind of damage that some rando on the feed ain’t able to fix.

Ok you see, right there at the end. Thats big incel energy brother. It was wholly unwarranted. This poster made a general statement about trolls pushing the boundaries. This is a human condition thing. If the picture was of some dude, you would not have said anything. Your mind has been poisoned and has you tilting at windmills. You took offense at someone calling out trolls. Why would you automatically be on the defensive?

Normally i wouldn’t extend this energy out. But you seem oblivious to the state you are in. I don’t know if you will accept it, but honestly your best bet is to own this mistake and take a moment to just look at your self.

Your going to have to explain your comment there, cuz it’s not looking to good for you

Ah thank you! It struck me that something abhorrent that trump has done could be referred to some other event with another politician, and yet not be widely known. I had to look it up. Though with trump being a sewage house spewing events like this out on the regular, no individual event will get the scorn it deserves. You may be on to something about the white washing thing though. Like i said, chat gpt isn’t even as forceful in denouncing flat earth. Not sure what’s up with that. His wiki also is missing any mention, and doesn’t even have a controversy section most politicians have.

Yep, no doubt. I have used chat gpt extensibly and have found it hallucinating on my own questions. It was not the case when it referred to the 2002 event, but i know it does that. It is a tool like google. And google puts pseudoscience and conspiracy theories at the top of the list sometimes too when trying to fact find. You have to know the limitations of what it is capable of. Case in point, when i asked about this event, i didn’t assume gpt answer was correct, google gave links exclusively to coverage of the the 2002 event, completely ignoring the Vietnam portion of my query. And i still returned to ask the poster for more info to get context. I don’t know what more people could have wanted from me.

I think that the issue was how i was asking for context on Paul Wellstone using the Vietnam memorial. Here was the response i initially received:

“Wellstone did not attempt to film or hold a political event at the Vietnam War Memorial. The controversy you’re thinking of might be related to the backlash following his 2002 memorial service, where the event was criticized by some for taking on a political tone.

Wellstone himself was known for his deep respect for veterans and did not engage in actions like filming political content at war memorials. The Vietnam War Memorial is a solemn site, and there hasn’t been any documented attempt by Wellstone to use it for political purposes.

If there’s something specific you’d like to discuss or clarify about this, please let me know!”

As you can see it shut down the thought in a manner gpt does not do lightly. So i googled, and found his wikipedia page, and a lite skim painted him as uncontroversial. And i got a lot of google hits on the 2002 plane crash memorial being co-opted for political gains. So i returned here for more context.

I mean i was on reddit before the api thing, so ehh. Maybe i interpreted it harsher then it was meant.

“Wellstone also staged a news conference in front of the Vietnam War Memorial on the National Mall, drawing the ire of many veteran groups. Wellstone later said the event was a mistake.”

Fair enough, though editing the comment made it difficult to realize you did provide what i asked for. I never called any one a lier. Just that when i went to chat gpt for context to what the other said it flat out told me it didn’t happen, which is uncharacteristic of chat gpt sycophantic tendencies. Usually talking a passive voice, or assuming i am making up a scenario and rolling with it. So i did google it and found that he was not considered controversial, and if the wiki mentioned it, it was only as a foot note.

Everything i looked up pointed to the 2002 incident. Not sure why i am being dog piled here.

Either way it seems odd to reference this as a Paul Wellstone ‘event’

The same reason people use google to look something up instead of going to the library

This frames the situation like they equally oppose a cease fire? I got the impression that hamas agreed to conditions of a cease fire, and isreal altered the deal to continue bombing palestine, though.

Sure? But i am merely invoking the spirit of the law, and not the letter… which is that filming there puts words in the mouth of venerated dead.
