The absolute state of this country…

this should be posted in nottheonion if it isn’t already

I didn’t mean that there isn’t any good information on social media. I have spent a bunch of time watching video lectures that MITOpenCourseWare has posted on youtube.

Using social media sites as a news aggregator is like looking at the news through a filter. I think that is bad because you don’t know how the filter works and you don’t control the filter.

They were interviewing that General on 60 Minutes the other day and asked him what amounted to “Did you commit treason when you made the phone call to China?”

I don’t think the General acted improperly, but, other than Trump, would you expect anyone to give any answer other than “No, of course not” when asked on national television?

X has completely displaced any mentioning of 4chan by the media.

I never really liked Twitter, just followed some NASA accounts that told what certain probes/landers/rovers were doing.

Same. I really like the functionality of tumblr, but I think I’m outside of their target demographic.

if I had that much money, I would do something other than start a company to make more money.

I wouldn’t be trying to make more money. I see myself operating a small business related to hobbies. Maybe model airplanes or ham radio or something. Breaking even would be fine.

There’s too much money in lies

It depends.

Breaking news: people who get their news from social media are idiots.

Generally, too little of something is bad for one reason and too much of something is bad for another reason.

More stressful, but also more rewarding I imagine. Also, I don’t like being told what to do.

because amongst all those people killed by the Israeli army in the very place they told them to shelter, there isn’t a nice looking western girl with glamour pictures on social networks, the murder of those people will never cause the same disgust in the West as the plight of the girl kidnapped by Hamas which has been turned into a constantly repeated Israeli propaganda piece

I can’t help but point out that it wouldn’t and couldn’t have been turned into a propaganda piece if they didn’t post a video of her lifeless body being driven around for people to spit on.

RealPage, however, has repeatedly denied any allegations of price fixing or antitrust violations in previous statements and legal filings.

No shit.

I don’t understand people who have money like that and just hop from one company to the next. If I got money like that, I’d start my own company.

Should we be concerned about that?

Doesn’t Israel have a huge number of dual citizens anyway?

I don’t know. I don’t have a clue about citizenship requirements in Israel.

Hamas is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having “achieved its targets”, a senior official has said.

Moussa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera in a phone interview that Hamas was open to “something of that sort” and to “all political dialogues” when asked whether the group is willing to discuss a possible ceasefire.

He also said that Hamas had captured “tens” of dual citizens from Israel, including those with Russian and Chinese citizenship.

As if this sitation didn’t already have enough potential to go sideways.

I’m aware plenty of people condemn Israel for good reason.

You just said people don’t express similar sentiments when the Israeli police and military slaughter innocent people.

what I don’t hear is the snide “you’ll never get anyone on your side like that”

Palestinians are trying to play on the sympathies of the international community to garner aid and support for their cause. Israel is not.
