Yeap. There’s no other way to think of politicians…with very few exceptions, if any.

Any politician who gets inside the system and isn’t raising alarm bells 24-7…who tries to reach across the aisle…who tries to horse trade…who lets their vote get whipped…is too far gone.

What a total clown car the USA is.

…when I was a kid and I watched Mars Attacks! and that scene happened where gramma laughed ass off when the aliens disintegrated congress…I didn’t really get it.

Now I do.

My cats breath smells like cat food.

Yet it’s still Twitter.

I wouldn’t say he’s a grifter…he’s definitely got leftist credentials…but he’s also terminally online and really cares about “clout”.

I’m sure he would argue that he’s fighting fire with fire…and I agree with that to an extent: we need somebody operating in those spaces to provide an alternative. But he’s not just reposting content there…he’s genuinely addicted. If he were to be making a coherent argument to remain on Twitter…every single post he makes should include a tagline to a competing platform where you can read his entire post until he’s banned.

If you claim to be a journalist you don’t actually need to be on Twitter…you can just use an aggregator.

…and it’s so easy.

There nothing more irritating than listen to Krystal Ball complain about how Elon ruined groups chats, or whatever she’s addicted to on Twitter…then immediately afterwards platform a leading leftist activist who also uses it.

To be fair…the site link is literally still Twitter.

This is key.

If there weren’t bots…Reddit would make its own bots. Reddit dances a fine line of allowing the population to be a certain proportion of bots because they increase real engagement by picking fights with its real users, as well as creating never-ending “content” for people to read and vote on. They only ban bots when real users notice they are bots - which is less and less frequently - even though Reddit has the tools and information to ban them long before that point.

Reddit could easy eliminate almost all of them, but that would be expensive and they’d lose real users as a result.

We can absolutely blame AI for everything. The reason AI took over Reddit is because Reddit fired their human moderators in favour of AI moderation. It’s basically a vicious circle of bots learning how to avoid being banned, and auto moderation learning how they’re avoiding being banned…repeat.

…the obvious problem being that bots are valuable to Reddit because they increase real engagement…if there weren’t bots, Reddit would make its own bots to do basically the same thing. Reddit only wants to restrict bots to a certain proportion of the population, rather than eliminate them.

Let’s be real…Reddit itself is moderated by AI.

People who moderate subs should be called “hall monitors” or something. It’s rare to find moderators who are actually moderating with impartiality, rather that being petty and taking sides. They also have tools to exploit the Reddit auto-mod system.

It was enshitified ages ago.

I wish we could say that - but those terminally online leftist “influencers” like Kyle Kukinski are completely addicted to it.

It drives me insane. Most of the top so called leftists are fully addicted to it and treat it like it’s an essential medium.

If you hate Musk…stop using fucking twitter. Nothing grinds my gears more than all these leftists who are still fully addicted.

I mean…I don’t expect a war…what I expect is some made-for-TV explosions and some fake body counts. Then I expect the right wing to start attacking, killing, and exiling the leftists with impunity.

Yeah…I don’t really know what I’m talking about…it’s not like I make much of an effort for privacy. I’m guess it’s just my particular ISP. It’s like…the random advertising is in French…but if they know who I am it’s targeted…it’s mixed.

Interesting…all of it? I’m in Ontario but my hub/ISP is in Quebec so all my random advertising is in French.

Somehow it knows to target advertising to you in English…maybe you need to work on your privacy?

Heh. I’m in Ontario, but I guess my DNS is outta Quebec…so most of my banner/insert advertising is in French. It’s fucking awesome because I have no idea what they’re saying or advertising to me most of the time. Highly recommend.

Welp, now I’m off to XHamster. Thank a ton >B|

I hate Costco…but I’m more likely to go now :)

I mean…thinking about the Democratic Party in terms of “they” is a little strange. Seem like anybody so steering that ship, to you?

But, for what’s left of their functioning and coherent apparatus…he’s certainly trying to make it impossible for them to not choose him.
