How does he think a carjacking works? The belt makes you harder to surprise by pulling you out of the car. If they're pointing a gun at you, they get the car either way. I'm not sure there's been a carjacking where they just shot someone right off and pulled them out.

Maybe that's why they were able to pivot themselves into those positions and obtain all that wealth. Now all the rich people are hereditary and grew up wealthy so they must believe they're the only ones who matter. Money just happens cuz they're so great; like in that monopoly wealth experiment.

Not one of them has the integrity or Americanism to just say something like "This is a free country, I'm a public figure, and they have the right to share their opinion".

Seems like it'd be a short meeting if Trump were innocent, because they could just release the files like they promised all along. Just redact the victims' names but let the rest fly, right? Huh. Wonder why it's taking a high-level strategy session instead.
Silenttalker (@silenttalker.bsky.social) reply parent
That's great. Using that from now on.
Silenttalker (@silenttalker.bsky.social) reply parent
They couldn't just release the files. They have to prep the audience so the cult can brush it aside and throw whataboutism chaff.

It's a combo of the more aggressive block feature, and an early-fostered community culture of not even engaging people who want to "trigger" or "say it like it is/don't sugar coat" (uninformed derisive opinion), or just aren't very smart. Instead just blocking them outright to deny what they crave.

Your funny headlines have been a little too on the nose. I'm worried about this one being on the nose.

They're all so worried about losing their precious audience reach, that they're unwilling to state obvious reality. "We can't appear partisan by pointing out that one side is objectively responsible for, or excusing, these blatantly unamerican things."

His cult is one thing, but the rest don't hear him speak. They hear a sound bite via media, followed by 10 minutes of "explaining" or "sane-washing" what he said and how it agrees with them.

I wonder why they wouldn't allow us to import chars? Never been playing a From game and thought "There's just too much freedom, customization, and time to enjoy the carefully crafted environments. Can we add a time limit and remove options?" If you're into that cool, but it seems a weird tone shift.

- The purpose of Trump’s tariffs is to make other world leaders bend the knee to Trump. That’s it. Anyone looking for any other rhyme or reason to them is greatly overthinking it. - There are no tariffs against Russia because of the obvious reason you’re all thinking.

I had this discussion with people last time. The reflex to him declaring something dumb is to say "Yeah but..", but you can't even argue with him. You have to respond to literally everything he declares with "First let's see if that's even true".

The one I kept seeing on Twitter before the election was "God chooses flawed vessels". "Flawed" doing sooo much heavy lifting in that sentence. That was always the terminology so it must've been a circulated talking point.

This site had a heart-warmingly unified movement to not even engage accounts that are here to troll, "trigger", or just be awful people, like most of the replies under IGN's twitter, and just block them and deprive them of oxygen. I'm very pleased with how old-school internet this has been.

They're in information silos or they're comforted by their cognitive dissonance and their biases to where they genuinely believe or want to believe that nothing bad happened, and that it was a "tour". So it wasn't a deal-breaker because it wasn't bad.

So I wrote this, and it's the best thing I've ever written. "We will resolve disputes in favor of protecting users as a whole." That right there. That tells everyone how Trust & Safety is going to act, and it gives T&S profound latitude. They're not there to rules-lawyer or first-amendment.

Farming for "liberal tears" is just showing you're desperate for them to look at you, but you don't have anything interesting for them to hear, so you wave your arms and make hooting sounds. Try engaging by being interesting, and prove you're smart, instead of assuming you are, and being a clown.
