no its just weird to me how he doesn't seem happy to look at anything in particular

sargon is treating this as a conversation

he's eased into it now

but at the start it just caught me offguard

fair enough, i dint know that @Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

Whats all this about confirmed russian collusion? Someone deprogram me real quick pls

someone just threw this at me and im not sure i can follow the logic

hang on pc is taking a shit

i dont geddit

has this trumpjr meeting been in the news or something? it seems to assume i know about the event already, and its controversial for some reason

Kes

I lived in herne bay for a while, it wasn't exactly glamorous but it was always clean

how would one start a new terrestrial channel here in the uk, if one was so inclined?

like, how did C5 get going?

i was a teenager at the time, but i remember it being advertised heavily for over a year after its launch

i always thought it was weird that they would just add one more channel and nothing else

like, who says that's the way it has to be?

i know man, i just enjoy hypotheticals

the logic i'm following here is that a large reason these news/propaganda sources hold so much sway is thanks to the older generation of viewers who refuse to abandon traditional TV in favour of new media. So if new media hosts banded together to form their own broadcast channel, they would instantly gain some sense of legitimacy from these older viewers

"It's on TV, it must be true"

oh man NTL, there's a name i've not heard in a long time

kickstarter anyone?

lul

ok looking past the financial implications, do you think that logic has any merit? Do you think this would gain any ground in waking up the population?

hmm

I think I just find the idea of high profile youtubers banding together to form their own broadcast network such a romantic idea

I'm not disputing that, but my train of thought that led me here was to try and reach the older holdouts who still think the internet aint gonna catch on

TV = Legitimate in these peoples eyes

how does one refute the blind resume arguement?

I understand there are many different variables when this theory is applied in the real world, but that doesn't account for when these experiments are conducted in a vacuum

the idea that two identical resumes are submitted to an employer, but the one with the male name gets preferential treatment

the one with the female name is more often discarded in favour of the male name

i've not read the statistics myself, but it appears to be a study that sjws love to quote

Isn't that a point for the SJWs though? We're always arguing for each case to be judged on an individual basis instead of on the merits of the group.

Fine, I'm not disputing the average results, but the key words in how you've phrased it are 'more likely'. It disregards any merit an individual female may have in relation to overcoming the average. Is that not the arguement we're always fighting against?

The collective?

I'm re-reading everything, gimme a min

I'm autistic af btw

from the mail?

I'm still not sure guys, considering how often SJWs get shouted down for lumping everyone into groups based on gender/race averages or whatever, this still feels hypocritical to me. I support the arguement for individualism but your responses seems contrary to that position?

I know I'm dense, but I'm here to learn

@AsianMessiah but could dismissing a legit hard working female based on the working average of what gender she happens to be, not be considered collectivist thinking? In that, it is dismissing the values of this individual?

and by extension, the ideas of a meritocracy

i dunno, maybe thats going a bit too far

again, sorry if i'm being dense

but there's every possiblity she *could* be

yeah i need to take a quick break too, to be continued? i'm enjoying this

How does this get resolved?

Like, Alex Jones obviously isn't done. So what's his next step? Does he go to make his own platform with blackjack and hookers?

Will carl be streaming tonight?

question of the day:

What would you consider an appropriate and productive response to someone telling you "My feelings are more important than your freedom of speech"?

keks aside

I don't see the productivity there :P

I guess the implication is how would you sway them to the opposite way of thinking?

You're making a lot of assumptions about the individual, I ask that you consider the question in a vacuum

@Reaps Would you care to elaborate? What kind of scenarios are you proposing?

and @Nordhand im not sure i follow your logic here, this person has already demonstrated they are more concerned with feelings than the right to speek freely, why would they care about my right to speak?

your argument hinges on me having feelings though :P

hah

and if they double down? what if they commit to the idea that they are so selfless they will always be silent, if them speaking would somehow hurt someone else feelings?

arf

not for freedom of speech

why do you all use social media? i've been unplugged for like, 4 years. Never been happier.

Thats why i came in here last week asking questions

Isn't still super easy to fall into an echochamber though?

@NightOwl can i get a source on that avatar bro?

i spend a lot of time googling owls

looking for tat ideas

not come across that artwork before

owls are the best animal

shrug

do you at least have a hi res to hand?

of your avatar, yes. do you still have the hi res available?

no worries bruh, i was just curious. thanks for checking

I just wont leave my house anymore

But if I stay at home am i not being inclusive enough?

*splodes

I used to be cute

Then my skin colour became the subject of a fucking social crusade

What's the political term for a society that prides itself on physical strength, and beating your opponents physically?

Like, how would you politically classify the orks from 40k?

I wondered that but that seemed more concerned with militaristic organisation. I'm referring specifically to the indivudal. You only get into a leadership position by being the biggest and strongest.

Does feudal still apply in this regard? Or is there a more specific subset that could be used to describe this?

cheers, i'll do a bit more reading along those lines

ooh now that's interesting

Where can i learn how brexit will or will not affect imports of insulin? All my googling is just turning up massive bias in both directions

I honestly have no idea, I know nothing about international trade

This is where I need to start

I'm not putting forward an argument, I'm seeking to learn

Are you saying that noone knows?

And furnishing myself with knowledge about how these imports happen will bring me no closer to an answer?

Right Bossack, but with all due respect, I wasn't asking if you knew. I was asking if anyone here could point me in the direction of somewhere that could teach me the relevent information

Again, you're making assumptions about my position! All I'm asking for is to be pointed toward a repository of knowledge on the subject.

There was no hostility intended, i'm on a mission to learn

Of course, I'm not disputing that. I just want to read up on the intricacies of the system myself, without a pro remain/leave bias that seems to be colouring every article i've found

you're still not hearing me bro, maybe i'm doing a shitty job of explaining myself

stand by
