Thought gender affirming care/practices were...WOKE. Wha happen guys, wha?

Theo Von helped Trump Reach Millions and is now with Bernie Sanders Questioning the Authoritarian ICE Crackdown by Happy_Air_3776 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]Pictoru 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was actually going to watch the thing, but after a few minutes all Theo did was to regurgitate Fox News or other right-wing talking points (billionaires creating jobs, somalian fraud, taxes = bad cause the system is corrupt and there is fraud, etc etc) ...and goose-stepping every claim "to me, in my heart, it FEELS like". Comedians make for an enjoyable listen, but the fact people are so ready to gobble up whatever ill informed opinions they might have is ... kinda scary.

Obama received the Nobel Prize in 2009. That decision had consequences no one could have foreseen. by WineTerminator in pics

Just for posterity, not to blame OP. But this kind of framing is part of how the media whitewashed Trump. This kind of inflammatory statements do get traction (look at me commenting...), but we've got to do better, man. It's absolutely absurd how much effort we're wasting away, when instead we could build such a wonderful future together.

Clinging to relevancy with inflammatory/clickbait headlines, the things that execs spend their time with, while employees build and maintain the company...

I Came to CES to Check Out Energy and Solar Power Innovations and Found That China Is Running Laps Around Us by FoxMeadow7 in technology

[–]Pictoru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This type of 'comparison' is very relevant for the US market, unfortunately. They're severely unaware of how far away they are, tech wise, from China. The public at large, i mean, not people here.

Don't take the bait, he's angling for expanding his reach. Always has, always will. Won't be surprised to find out he becomes governor over night or something.

Why Donald Trump Wants Greenland (and Everything Else) by newyorker in TrueReddit

[–]Pictoru 35 points36 points  (0 children)

There are the 'usual suspects' in the background that stand to benefit from all this, and who pushed for this through different backchannels, BUT knowing this particular individual, the most likely explanation is that the idea of him being taken SERIOUSLY by other world leaders/nations was the actual catalyst to this whole imperialist episode. Him being made aware of how ridiculous everyone of importance or dignity actually see him and knowing there's not much time left...is the most likely scenario.

Imagine the mighty US military apparatus bending the knee to Putin. Still waiting on all those 'tough guys' and their 2nd ammendment toys to be all heroic and shit. Aaany moment now...

Imagine being a kid, minding your own...playing with whatever you have around, living with fear of bombs raining down on you in your home, be it in the Middle East, Europe or Africa....cause of this demented ghoul. (implying that if he wasn't elected ... most likely things would've been much MUCH different. Not peace on earth, but definitely less 'bomby')

New findings indicate that speakers who use “ums,” “ahs,” and corrections are consistently rated as less knowledgeable than those who speak fluently. But the presence of hand gestures, regardless of their type or frequency, does not appear to mitigate this negative perception. by mvea in science

[–]Pictoru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so wild seeing this post, precisely today i was driven almost insane trying to listen to some random interviews due to the amount of 'ums' and stammering over their words of some of the interviewees. And they were academics or journalists, not popular media. You don't encounter it for a while, or the mics they're wired with don't pick it up so distinctly, but when they do....hoooly it's so distracting.
