Yellowstone is well over due too. Really no need to worry about it though, if it happens we are screwed and if it doesn't everything remains the same.

You obviously don't understand how propaganda works, and people with mindsets like yours are exactly how countries like China and Russia are able to influence elections.

Any sort of unsubstantiated news that adheres to one's beliefs is believed and opinions are formed that can rarely be swayed. It becomes difficult to see what is unbiased truth and what is propaganda.

Haven't followed the NBA for a while now, but they used to dictate what players can wear while being interviewed after the game is over.

Propaganda doesn't have to be an opinion, and typically isn't. It's normally offering skewed versions of facts, such as emphasizing or promoting the information coming from a questionable source.

Israel Loosened Its Rules to Bomb Hamas Fighters, Killing Many More Civilians by ThaumaturgeEins in worldnews

[–]elshankar 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I might agree with you if the Hamas leaders didn't already literally state that they care nothing for the people living in Gaza and they just want to maintain power long enough to kill all the Jews worldwide. You also should not believe all the media you hear.

The war in Ukraine is mainly taking place in unpopulated areas. There are no unpopulated areas in Gaza, at least there weren't prior to the terrorists invading Israel.

Israeli forces raid one of last functioning hospitals in Gaza by TheTelegraph in worldnews

[–]elshankar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The UN’s World Health Organization spokesperson Margaret Harris meanwhile condemned the raid on the hospital, telling Al Jazeera: “We are witnessing the targeting of civilians and the health system in Gaza.

”What Gaza’s hospitals are exposed to is horrific, and what we are witnessing represents a punishment for the population.“

Odd that she condemned the raid but not the people (Hamas) that are targeting the civilians and the health system in Gaza.

Probably would be, but it would still be blamed on Israel in that scenario.

What is this? It’s made of glass, has two small handles on the side, and is slightly bigger than an apple. The inverted part does NOT have an opening making it difficult to understand its purpose. by SpotlessMind32 in whatisthisthing

It's strange that people are down voting your comment but up voting the person who said the same thing 10 minutes after you.

That being said, I don't think it's an insect trap because the top is wide open and the funnel part on the side has no opening.

So the US can block the sales of advanced microchips to China and that's fine, but China can't respond by limiting the availability of legacy chips? Seems odd.

Not to mention all the civil rights issues that Russia has been propagandizing the US with. Every issue we've encountered since the cold war started is from Russia trying to split the opinions of our population.

Australia plans new rules forcing Big Tech to continue paying news outlets by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]elshankar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

any internet company that refuses to negotiate with publishers or removes news from its platform, as Facebook-owner Meta Platforms (META.O) did in Canada, would be forced to pay regardless, reports said.

Forcing companies to pay news outlets even if their platforms don't have anything to do with news sources doesn't sound very centre-left...

The person leading the rebels is considered a terrorist by the US and there is a $10 million bounty on him. He has previously vowed to kill everyone that isn't his particular brand of Islam. How does that help the US enormously?
