Yes but it’s still there when I reintroduce some rational. I can see the anger emerge as I get closer to hitting their internal contradictions. Mike Pence and his words on what happened on Jan6 is an easy shortcut to constitution-loving patriots who didn’t have an issue with the coup.
Your default should be try to disprove, or at least verify any claims.
And surround yourself with good people.
I’ve spoken to a lot of people who can’t think independently and I can’t figure out what’s wrong with them tbh. I understand it on paper. Cognitive dissonance, emotive narratives re-enforced by echo chambers that have blinded them. But how do you deny basic facts when they’re explained to you 1 on 1. I used to think they were lying but it’s clear to me now most aren’t.
18·3 months agoThe Trump administration actually broke with decades of U.S. policy by declaring that Israeli settlements in the West Bank were not inconsistent with international law, effectively endorsing Israeli claims to parts of the territory. Significantly reduced U.S. financial assistance to Palestinians, including ending funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moved its embassy there to undermine the Palestinians (Adelson spent $20m for this)
His window, a megadonor for settlement development in the West Bank donated 100m to Trump with her stated goals being Israeli annexation of the West Bank and a U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty in all the regions of the land. Trumps #1 donor above Musk.
This was part of the deal that stopped the right wing factions in the Israeli govt from blocking the ceasefire. Are they the worse of two evils? Or is the fact that you’re aligned with them escaping you?
- Trump Is Desperate for Miriam Adelson’s Cash. What Will She Expect in Return?
- Israeli settlers in West Bank see Trump win as chance to go further
- Miriam Adelson reportedly pressured Trump to push Hamas into hostage deal
- Netanyahu compromises with Smotrich, Ben-Gvir to secure ceasefire deal
Israeli media reports indicate that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered enticing proposals to Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, including plans to expand settlements in the West Bank and enhance security measures.
According to Israeli reports, Netanyahu is attempting to persuade Ben-Gvir and Smotrich to back the agreement by highlighting two key points: first, that Trump’s presidency will bring significant benefits to “Israel”, and second, that “Israel” will be able to resume the war if needed, with US support.

- Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s far-right finance minister, has said that he was given assurances that the war on Gaza would continue and Israel would launch a “gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip”.
He said that his faction had demanded and “received a commitment” that the method of war would be completely changed.
That included, said Smotrich, “through a gradual takeover of the entire Gaza Strip, the lifting of the restrictions imposed on us by the [US President Joe] Biden administration, and full control of the Strip, so that humanitarian aid will not reach Hamas as it has been until now.”
2·3 months agoIt uses piratebay and any other torrent site you want
VPN services like Torbox are faster because they download them to their servers and stream them direct to you. Without a VPN 1080p stuff streams fine for me but 4k is a struggle.

Note, real-debrid.com are banning illegal content, people were switching to Torbox last I checked.
Just use Stremio with a VPN and then you have nothing to maintain.
5·3 months agoThey’re banning it for the wrong reasons. But in light of the ban I spent a day scrolling to see what kinda stuff the algo would push on me.
And yeah, burn it with fire. At least on Twitter you get community notes and even without that the top comments usually refute things pretty quickly.
TikTok is just feeding people pure nonsense which is impossible to verify in-app. Everything is intentionally vague af for engagement and the search sucks.
Surprisingly I’ve seen nothing on Gaza. But a lot of bogus alternative medicine scams and MLMs.
Great for seeing what’s going on locally though. As well as things like life hacks, cleaning/organising tips. A federated version with some safeguards for fact checking could be awesome.
Yeah because Trump will run it like musk runs Twitter. Bezos lost a huge contract last time he refused to bend the knee to Trump.
7·3 months agoEver almost shat yourself because you were focused on something else?
We have excess focus just no control over its direction.
What’s a sexual attribute? Like asexual? agender?
What’s a neuter
You can install TikTok too. Ban isn’t in effect yet.
7·4 months agoWhat a dumbass it’s not even in focus.

Bsky is gaining ground over mastodon due to clear UX problems that need to be fixed if they want to compete.
Bsky isn’t perfect but it’s miles better than X and any support for better alternatives should be celebrated.
Design isn’t centralised but the implementation and tooling currently are
It’s more usable, less decentralised at the moment but theoretically could be as good as mastodon.
Mastodon UX sucks balls. If they want people to use it over bsky they need to fix that.
Otherwise someone else could fork it and replace them.
It’s decentralised in theory just not in practice because of them owning all the relays and appview.
