Admittedly I haven’t read much from them in the last year or two but usually ars is consistently good

this guy claims to be a conservative and yet posts a 4 mile long lefty meme 🤔

It’s been a long time since I was on blind but I recall them asking you to provide your work email to verify your employer. Don’t recall them actually sending anything so not entirely sure how it verified. Blind is definitely a mixed bag of a platform, super toxic with people dick measuring over TC but also decent for getting word of what’s coming your way (layoffs, etc)

Reminds me of an episode of Common Sense by Dan Carlin from yeeears ago that basically said “the system is corrupt and voters aren’t able to command our politicians to do what we want, so what if we just pool money together and bribe them too?”

I thought the narrator sounded familiar. Their videos on displays of different kinds are utterly mesmerizing. What an unreasonably high quality channel.

They’ve also forced r/Steam to reopen or be replaced by powermods https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/14bvwe1/rsteam_and_reddits_new_policies/

Makes me think of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTB5XhjbgZA

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” - Jean-Paul Sartre .
Same shit different target
