I wish Youtube would do something about these 30, 60, 90 minute long ads they keep selling spots for. Literally if I don't stay on that skip button, its literally more runtime of supplements and cosmetics than 10x the video's runtime.

To define the word Proaganda as "One-Sidedness" is itself one-sided rhetoric. It is, by design, a precursor to the rhetoric of dismissing argument as "Propaganda"

The definition provided by Proagandist Tuttle Twins is a definition designed to disparage certain opinion, the act of giving opinion, while presenting itself as providing only fact.

It excludes the rhetorical at the center of their own mission statement that would paint themselves as Propagandists

Bias is inherent in every publication. There is no such thing as being without bias. Onr cannot give a "whole story" without bias.

However, one can give an opinion and details to present a "whole story" that nonetheless doesnt not exhaustively includes all other opinions or arguments.

This is the definition given by Cambridge. Notice the emphasis on Presenting an Argument and Influencing Opinion.

The "only part of" here functions in telling how not presenting a full argument is used for rhetorical device. Example, oft repeating just a conclusion creates the Mere Exposure Effect

Right Wing Children’s Media Propagandists, who recently are on a new push of exploiting children actors in advertisements to disparage schools & educators, provides this as the definition of propaganda.

Saying that Propaganda is "one-sided or biased" is an intentional misunderstanding of concepts

Warframe definitely did something to the lighting. It's darks are VERY dark now. Light sources from object in the level seems to provide all the light. No universally lit anymore.

The constrast and saturation is way up

TBH, I kinda like smelling like a campfire after burning a bunch of yard waste. Wife does not like it, so of course we shower immediately, yes?

But my cats, they also love it. They are all about those new garden smells

Every week I learn about Some Goober on here that's been doing Whatever This Is for like fifteen years across various websites and communities. Original source is in the comments of Jordan's post here if you want to see what it actually said.

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!

I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.

One of the silliest "Umm actually" comments i ever got on YT was a person mad that I said Light & Heat are involved in the process of photosynthesis & Photovoltaics

They then proceeded to tell me that there is such a thing as Cold Light.

I asked him what cold is, then explained the absence of heat

New favorite quote

"The social is predicated on its exclusions." - Cameron Kunzelman

Cameron. You need to tell me if you're quoting someone else though. Cuz im gonna say this sentence in some writing at some point.

When im not doing video games and writing and stuff, I'm doing yard work. Mowing. Mulching. Hedging. And in today's case I'm finally sawing up this old tree branch into logs.

These logs will be burned.

Their ashes will be stored in the ashes bin.

Which will then be put into planters for my garden

Jazz is terrible at eating. He has little interest in it. Always explores the whole house before returning to his bowl. Sometimes doesnt even come back! But sitting with him is frequently all the motivation he needs.

Calypso on the other hand would bulldoze Fort Knox at the idea of a single crumb

You think I dont know you? Nah, I got your number.

I KNOW you've used the other slice of bread to wipe the peanut butter or jelly off of the knife before you get the other ingredient.

You and I are the same. We are savages.

Next morning update. Turns out this doesnt matter. Cuz, get this, eating too many chicken wings makes your organs explode out of your body...

I'm gonna each trail mix and salads for a week

Having spent YEARS of my life singing the praises of the drumstick. I think tonight I realize that the flank is the superior chicken wing.

It is time to let go of childish things, and become a man.

I might br crazy, but I think Twitch is responsible for why everyone says "Welcome In" instead of welcome at restaurants now.

"Welcome to". Let's brinc back "Welcome to"

When i think about the aftermath of the covid pandemic's global quarantine, in these times where covid in now endemic and we just live with it, I think, "Wow, culture is such an enduring thing."

Cuz we literally changed nothing; only become more entrenched in what is emblematic about our culture

If they describe your race as attractive/sexy, they mean you are ill-suited for marriage and love.

If they describe your race as maternal & womanly, they mean you are ill-suited for work, wages, & ownership.

Every positive racism reduces the person to their instrumentality relative to the racist

SocraTetris @socratetris.bsky.social · 6d

Positive Racism is still bad racism, because it is always accompanied by a harmful stereotype.

If they say a race is good at sport, then they also mean you are ill-suited to intellectual pursuit.

If they call something a noble savage, they also mean you are uncivilized & ill-suited for governance
