He is so goddamned wholesome.
From the chapter: “Yeah, but remember that one time…”
Project Farm, Nile Red, and Technology Connections are the best three channels on YouTube.
Sure, but they can’t get people to use it without utilizing the power of their competitor. You know, it’s like when a racing company steals a competitor’s car and then uses it to race against them. Totally legal. Definitely wouldn’t be banned.
“use this random third party app that bypasses all the ads so you can still use youtube”.
This has always been my beef with Rossman. He always has something to sell–not just sponsored content–his own apps and solutions. He comes off like a used car salesman, just pushing the hard sell and making you feel like an idiot for not jumping at the chance to give him money. I’m sure he has made some positive movement in privacy and right to repair, but every time he talks I just feel like he’s going to try to get me to sign up for a timeshare. I don’t trust him.
Ok, I’ll play the devil’s advocate.
He wasn’t there for his family, or in any sort of journalistic capacity. He was there to protest.
Sure. Fine. Protest. I support your right to do so, and in this case I support your cause. However, the US government cannot chase down every rogue citizen that jumps into active conflict because of their bleeding heart. If this had been someone on vacation before the violence started then it would be different. This man was there to stir up shit. That’s the risk he took. No one in any government position told him as he was leaving, “don’t worry, we got your back.” He walked into an active conflict and he got shot. He’s lucky that’s all that happened. Fuck around. Find out. Sure, sometimes the circumstances call for fucking around. That doesn’t mean you don’t get the other part.
I can’t read Chinese, so I’m not sure what good seeing their names would be. A downvote is a downvote.
It blows me away that that was his response. What a fucking cunt.
I can read
That isn’t up for discussion. I concede. You can read. You just can’t read well.
I’m sorry you need 50 words to say things that should only take 5 and are so egotistical you can’t fathom that someone disagrees with you, they can only have low reading comprehension.
Nope, the fact that you keep putting words in my mouth and assuming they are what I really mean are why I think you have low reading comprehension. It could just be malicious trolling, but I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.
If you think they “should not have the protections [I] think they should,” which is “they can’t be killed on purpose,” then that means you think members of the press should or can be killed on battlefields legitimately.
Again, with the reading comprehension (malicious trolling). PROPAGANDISTS are not members of the press, bucko. That’s the binary of it all, if that’s what you want. Are you publishing the facts of the conflict? Yes: Journalist. No: Propagandist. Boom. Binary. Happy now?
Get bogged down in your pedantic nonsense I don’t give two flying fucks.
Says the guy who wants things in binary groupings. Welcome to binary, where column A and column B are all you get, and they are defined by pedants.
We both know what I am saying and either you’re pretending you don’t understand or you’re too fucking dense to understand and should just trust the adults in the room.
Hey, we agree on something! You are right, I do know exactly what you are saying. You are saying anyone with access to a laser jet and a PNG of a press pass gets godmode on the battlefield, isn’t that true? Doesn’t matter what you say, as long as you claim to be a journalist, you get carte blanche?
Tell me, who gets to say what a journalist is or isn’t? Who sets the definition? If it’s me, then we already know my answer: Propagandists aren’t journalists. If it’s you, though, you seem to give a much broader definition of what journalism is. Correct me if I’m wrong (I’d hate to put words in your mouth) but you believe that journalists are anyone.
That’s it.
Did you expect more to that definition? Because you haven’t given any more. You seem to believe that anyone can be a journalist, report whatever they decide is worth reporting regardless of fact, and they are protected.
Am I getting it right here? Again, I’d hate to put words in your mouth.
That isn’t journalism. That is the death of journalism. That is why we have clickbait headlines and PPW articles. Please, just… fucking stop. You have proven time and time again that you are willing to argue from a poor position and do nothing to actually back up your statements with any worth. You are bad at what you are trying to do, whatever that may be, and everything you say is just going to be shoved back in your face because I get off on it. I love telling you how wrong you are. I wring the cum out of my cock with a fervor that few have ever known every time I tell you how completely empty your argument is. So, there you go. You can help me cum again by continuing your terrible arguments, or you can find something else to do, and I’ll just go back to pictures of dead propagandists. Either way, I’ve got a long night ahead of me, it’s just up to you how big a role you want to play in it, chief.
Goddamn. How someone with such low reading comprehension can be arguing about journalism is beyond me. Holy shit.
SHOULD. SHOULD. SHOULD.
I never said they should be killed. Fucking Christ. What I am saying is that they should not have the protections you think they should.
If I go out and start twerking on the front line for tiktok and claim I’m a journalist, should I be protected? Should the enemy adjust fire so as not to hit me? Cause if that’s the case, I have a great post for c/noncredibledefense. Fucking hell. A propagandist is not a journalist. They do not get the same protections. Yes, if they are shot and killed while spreading lies, they brought it on themselves. They could have stayed in their studio and done the same. I do not mourn the liars on the front lines.
Ooooh, binary. I love binary. It’s so black and white. Really easy to define, too.
If someone on the ground is falsy reporting the war, then they have lost their journalistic integrity. They are no longer protected. Claiming to be a journalist and falsely reporting the war is like the kid who plays tag and claims that everything they touch is “safe” so they can’t be tagged. I’m sorry, but that isn’t what war journalism is. War journalism is reporting the horrific truths of what is happening. If you are going out there and telling lies, then you aren’t a journalist, you are just that shitty kid that no one wants to play with because you make up your own rules.
Should they be killed? No. Am I losing sleep over it? Also no.
When their primary responsibilities are pushing propaganda they become enemy combatants. The pen is mightier, after all.
Great! There is a distinction.
I. Don’t. Care.
Ban the pedos.
I don’t get why this is an argument. Why are we even discussing this? I feel like it should be a given. Question 1 on your Olympic Entry Exam: Have you, as an adult, had sex with someone who did not or could not consent?
You can put every other question about doping and ethics after that one, because if they get hung up on Question 1, they shouldn’t be allowed to represent their country on a national stage. There are others that can answer that question in the negative that can take up the spot for their country.
It doesn’t matter what distinctions there are between doping and fucking kids, we need to, as a species, stop putting pedophiles on pedestals. Don’t buy their albums, don’t watch their movies, and don’t give them medals in the Olympics. They can work the fryer at McDonalds to support their wasted existence.
Everyone in all of the threads that were discussing the dutch pervert a few days ago. “He went to jail, he is reformed, etc…”
Being forced to compete on the same team with or against a convicted pedophile would certainly distract me, and would likely degrade the audience’s experience as well. Seems like a bad thing for sports.
How many kids do you get to diddle before you undermine the sport?
I love how this will gain traction, but when we talk about banning the Dutch guy who literally fucked a child, everyone is like, “But they can change…”
Don’t forget, they want all of that in a nice, neat, FOSS package, which they will not contribute one dollar or a single line of code to.
