There was no CP on there, it’s the go-to excuse conservatives use whenever they don’t like something they think is “degenerate”, you’ve seen them do it to trans people recently. It’s the same old BS song and dance I remember from the 1990’s with right-wing conservatives whining about DOOM being too violent for children and GTA being a bad influence on kids, it’s literally the same argument
For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in....
Yeah idk what people were thinking. Ads have ALWAYS been around, there were ads on radio, ads on TV and now ads on streaming. Facebook’s entire revenue came from selling digital ad space, well not entirely true, 99.999999% of it was ad revenue, the rest were shareholders. YouTube is the one outlier though for some reason, they don’t seem to care about people using adblockers, no idea where they’re getting their revenue from
The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.
Are you seriously defending an apartheid state that’s insanely racist and another country that routinely locks up political prisoners and journalists and attempts to attack it’s democratic neighbors every year?
No more tiring than being a millennial and constantly being attacked by Boomers for no reason when you’re only 17 years old but already being blamed for everything wrong in society despite not being able to even vote. All throughout the mid 2000’s that’s all we ever heard from older people. And when we do want real positive change, the older generations just double down on the name calling.
It’s like that Mike Rowe idiot, he’s literally just an actor so he’s never worked any of those “dirty jobs” unless it was for entertainment purposes, but his condemnation for younger people who don’t want to do slave labor anymore and have a better life is both hilarious and frustrating.
Kuwait announced this week that it will print thousands of copies of the Quran in Swedish to be distributed in the Nordic country, calling it an effort to educate the Swedish people on Islamic “values of coexistence.” The plan was announced after the desecration of a Quran during a one-man anti-Islam protest that Swedish...

The initial point of the karma system was to push to the top of discussions relevant information while the shitposts were put at the bottom. It works sometimes, sometimes it doesn’t.
I think, honestly, politics is the biggest issue here when it comes to the karma system and it doesn’t work well at all within it, but for many other things it’s actually a decent system and a good way to find relevant information in a thread without reading through 500 pages on a forum or something

Yeah, it’s happening to me too now sadly. Also I saw your post that was downvoted and I honestly do not get why it was, it couldn’t have been more positive a message
Since countering Aldean’s claim the video only contains “real news footage,” Destinee Stark has received a wave of hateful messages from defenders of the song.
I clicked on the link and literally none of the top comments are from black people, they’re from white people, so something is certainly wrong here and I don’t think it’s those downvoting you
What’s happening here is very typical with marginalized communities, pandering to White Supremacists to gain some semblance of respect. It isn’t the first time this has happened. Shall we take a walk back down memory lane to the time Malcolm X sat beside George Rockwell?
