To be fair, they are not the only social media platform. This is thoroughly systemic https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/13/facebook-shields-millions-of-vip-users-from-moderation-protocols.html

Ah yeah it really sounded like you were saying he was a MAGA supporter from the way you were wording that. I mean a lot of people talk in the dialect. The whole point is that politicians do indulge in local dialects to try and be more relatable with the voters. Doesn't mean the Boy Howdy folks are necessarily all MAGA supporters. That was where I was coming from haha

What this means is that Tik Tok is less likely to enforce community guidelines with their top creators. They give them extra leniency. Which is very problematic if they are pushing misinfo or questionable content. It's prioritizing engagement over user safety. Not a huge surprise though.

I don't think Sponges is a MAGA supporter lol

Blue lives only matter when they maintain the status quo. Why stop being hypocrites now?

That's mainstream media which is overwhelmingly conservative. Things are very bad right now and I think it's fine that Sponges feels that way about it since things really are that bad. I don't agree with him on how irreversible it is but I get where he's coming from.

I don't believe I've mentioned it here but the MAGA congressional candidate for my district, Darius Mayfield actually went door to door in my neighborhood to lock in votes. The guy is a real smooth operator - he's black and is trying to sweep aside racial tension and other very real problems in this country. His slogan is "Not Black. Not White. American." He's very clever at downplaying it but he outright calls himself an America First candidate so yikes. Anyway, he came to my door and asked me if I would vote for him. I lied and said yes to get him to leave. Then he wanted to put a yard sign up. I declined. Then he wanted to get a picture with me. Declined. I found this extremely annoying and disruptive. So now I like the guy even less. I really hope he doesn't win in our district. Our county is Republican but the municipalities are more mixed so we will see. We need to watch out for MAGA candidates that present themselves as "common sense" and reasonable because at their core, they believe the same things as all the crazies but they're just more quiet about the crazy parts.

oh yeah. This is happening

That was a pay bump. This is a culture shift. It would be seismic.

They are auditioning the role. There is an active effort from union VAs to appeal to non-union VAs to not do it. They want to pressure Crunchyroll into relenting.

Texas is super anti-union so big surprise there

A little synopsis: Kyle McCarley who played Mob in Mob Psycho 100 will not return to the role because Crunchyroll refused to comply with union demands since he is a member of SAG-AFTRA. Mob Psycho was originally dubbed by Bang Zoom but since the CR-Funimation merger, it seems that they've become more resistant to union demands since Funimation is in charge of dubbing for CR and has historically been union hostile.

Their bases are going to love this. They must really be convinced that they won't be prosecuted. I really hope that sheriff investigation leads to federal charges. 50/50 I think

I mean it's all about the context. Here we have a political candidate who is actively trying to act like a doofus to appeal to idiots.

I mean Sponges said that's what THEY (Hershel Walker and co) are doing.

Hence why I said "on drugs"

Can we just take a moment to talk about how it's hilarious that Junior is clearly on drugs and the GOP has been after Hunter Biden for years due to his drug abuse. Just another example of hypocrisy.

It's especially a good choice since the plot is very similar to Squid Game. I wonder if that had any bearing on the reason to dub it.

China sure isn't looking like a solid ally anymore. Just sayin'

It's giving Czechoslovakia to Germany to be fair. And seriously saying that Russia deserves the land it invaded is saying that the invasion was a-okay. You have to see that.

You are wording it in a way where my position is ridiculous. Ukraine wasn't added to NATO specifically to maintain a stalemate with Russia. Putin has jeopardized his entire legacy on this invasion because he thought he could grab Ukraine and use it as a buffer to the west without regards to Ukrainian sovereignty. So yeah, Russia should have held the border like they always have and not done anything. Because the stalemate was fine. What the fuck was the annexation of Crimea if not its own provocation? You are framing this like the Russians are naive idiots when Putin has been the head honcho for decades without any dispute. You are just presenting the Russian side without any regard for the other end. I'm at least considering both sides and even then the idea of an invasion is still insane to me.

Okay let me ask this. What is the point you are trying to make?

I mean it's a very one sided documentary

You keep justifying the invasion!!!!
