Seeking out your own communities aside, which is something that has happened since like forever Thinking about ancient catholic heresies now and how they might have done in a worldwide social media environment. I think the Fraticelli's would have done well.

My cat has become super anxious and I don't want to spend $400 on the vet, is cbd for pets complete bullshit or does it actually make pets more calm?

General Dog posted:I’d agree with that, but I guess my bigger point is that whenever people post about the corrosive effects of social media (and I’m sure I’m guilty of this too), the underlying assumption is always “man, social media has really pushed a lot of people over the deep end. Thankfully, I’ve shown good discernment when it comes to my sources of news and commentary and shared experiences and come to a more correct understanding of the world around me.” Which is great, but that’s what everyone thinks. oh my god yes! absolutely! from 2016 to 2020 while i was seething about trump i always asked myself "was this was the poo poo heads were thinking during obama? am i creating my own reality?" i wondered if i had simply found a community that would reinforce my aversions to trump and everything about him. and then i decided that no, in fact, reality was on my side. my concerns were unfounded. and that yes, indeed, trump was a complete pile of poo poo who needed to be stopped. i am comfortable in my belief that nazis needed to be stopped at all costs. history has backed me up. Don't dunning krueger yourself into "well actually'ing" yourself into cautious apathy.

Yeah and that’s fair. The fact that everyone thinks they’re right doesn’t mean there’s no right or wrong answers.

Dango Bango posted:Holy poo poo this is incredible. Cashing in a $400 ticket on the Bama game, turn half of it around on some completely random rear end Super Bowl prop bets because it's more fun that on a team. Stop at Patio 44 for as many (socially distanced) crabcakes as I can shovel down my neck, wash it down with some Blanton's. I have a ritual every time I visit a casino, and my wife hates it. I don't see the point of sitting for hours in front of a slot machine. So I find the $100 slot machine, put one bill in there, press the button, and I'm done. If I win, it makes it worth it. If not, I have my day back at least.

Is there any specific incident you're referring to? Edit: Are you talking about the George Floyd riots, those were all peaceful protests where cops started attacking people and then those people committed acts of self defense.

I've been poo poo posting with you guys for over a decade and you all know tons about me at this point and have certainly made your own opinions i was a wreck in india and wasted that opportunity because i wasn't mature enough for it but i also saw things that i knew were wrong and abhorrent. and it didn't matter that i was in a country of 1.6 billion people that the majority of might not have cared about, i knew that X was wrong. and im not just talking about the girl who gets raped on a bus and set on fire, i mean just general societal things. like this is not right. these things kept me up at night. and i am right. this is not a both sides thing. so when we're talking about both sidesing internet radicalization, i don't think that's a real thing. I don't think that's worth considering. i think it's a straw man argument at best barely worth knocking down.

Facebook has legitimized the kinds of conspiracy nut jobs who’re only fit to broadcast shortwave from an airstream trailer in the woods. Their algorithm (and YouTube’s) specifically radicalizes people. Exclusively rightward. There is no left corollary. Period. BlindSite posted:You don't think there were some politically motivated reactions to current events that maybe got a little out of hand on the other side in the last twelve months? Again, there is no left corollary.

My dear sweet Poufu is getting spayed this coming Monday. I’ve heard that these days you can choose between the cone of shame and a diaper that goes over the surgical wound so they can’t lick...any one have any experiences with this decision?

Yeah I tend to believe this won't really help much, but just in case I'll note that if you are becoming anxious about how your cat is anxious your cat is going to notice and freak out more. So keep that in mind and be as cool as you can even if you're super worried. Take note of any possible triggers too, you can work on those if you know what will set them off.

The cone works fine in my experience. If you can get a floppy one that won’t catch hard edges it’s best. Just enough to make it inconvenient as hell to lick.

What the gently caress is this Ridiculousness show on MTV? It seems to run 24 l 7, and feels like a poor man's version of Tosh.0, which was already a poor man's viral video show. The host is a smug jackwagon, and the co-host ( Chanel West Coast?  ) has the most shrill laugh ever, it's somehow worse than Fran Drescher or that Janice character on Friends.https://youtu.be/Toxrs46IF90

I wasn't referring to BLM but jeeze do you guys like to cook off.JPrime posted:do you have specific examples or are you just devil's advocating for *checks notes* insurrectionists I wasn't advocating for anyone, my question was borne out of a discussion about people being pushed into more extremist views by social media and their algorithms. My question was intended at face value, if not phrased perfectly. To be clear I firmly agree with a need to overhaul the police system in the US, its hosed and needs a fix badly.
