“the creator of the video is able to cherry-pick their information and weave it into the narrative that they want”

Its called an essay. You take primary and secondary sources, and then weave them together with arguments to persuade a point. You also provide all your sources so people can fact check your assertions based on the facts you’ve provided. Typically you need to read/listen to the essay. Then if you find their arguments unpersuasive, or fishy you check their sources and reply (you don’t literally have to, it can be just for yourself) using their own sources against them, or your own sources and arguments that dispute their claims. Its the essence of critical thinking, genius.

Its like how people whatabout with Sudan, as though Western governments are in full bore support of either faction, and voicing displeasure for the genocide will somehow have a negative consequences if you’re a public figure.

He the most competent person at the evil factory. He is just good at his job.

I thought that line was the rebels using Cyril’s perceived hatred of the ISB to gaslight him into thinking that by helping them, he is actually helping the Empire. There are probably rebels who hate the Empire, but love the Emperor though, lol.

Its not about sources, its about real world effects. If there was a genocide not only would there be a lot of physical evidence and verifiable testimony, there would be thousands, and thousands of refugees flooding all over the region.

Where is the physical evidence of this genocide? Because I can see dead Palestinian children by the truckloads if I want to.

The worst part is optimization and load screens

That was kind of beautiful

MLK jr was a minister

but I believe there has been at least one country in the world where they tried decriminalizing drugs

Portugal

It had 9/11, followed by the forever war in the middle east vibes as well.

I feel like the VP was a mix of every prominent US foreign policy ghoul (Bush 1 and 2, Cheney, Kissinger, Biden, Reagan, Nixon, I’m sure there are others), you could include Netanyahu as well. The Americans just fucking suck, they get zero redeeming qualities.

It’s also about normalizing being ace, and making it more widely known that ace people exist so when non-ace people encounter ace people they’re understanding and accepting rather than dismissive. Something that JKR clearly has an issue with.

I’ve been thinking about this ‘LGB Alliance’ crap, and I really think its actually ‘SLGB Alliance’. They’re choosing to hitch their wagon to heteros instead of trans people, ace people, and queer people. Its not just gross, its fucking dumb. Who do you think they’re going to come for next? Don’t trust the straights ffs (I’m generalizing, I’m straight myself lol).

Unsurprising given that Russia’s structure was created in conjunction with a bunch of Neoliberal freaks. Its the society they wanted.

No problem, your point is well made. There are always going to be outliers to almost any narrative no matter how truthful, and they should be acknowledged and even explained.

That is why I used the words almost and typically.

Unionized workers make more than non-unionized workers almost as a rule, wages gains typically overshadow dues.

I like all the enemy goobers. Monty Mole is one of my favs.

I find the “aktually games are cheap at 70! they should be 120 if you account for inflation” folks a joke. Game companies have been posting record profits year, after year.
