“Propaganda doesn’t exist in my country”
Ofc it fucking does. But “Europe” isn’t a country, is it, dipshit? Europe isn’t a hegemony. You need a hegemony for proper propaganda. How is this so hard for you to understand? Are you honestly so willfully ignorant you don’t know what “hegemony” means that you won’t spend 10 seconds checking the meaning? :D
What does discussing the Spanish civil war have to do with Russians being ashamed of being loser Ruskis? Either you’re a super shamed Ruski, or even worse, a European who’s bought into their propaganda. (I genuinely think the latter is worse tbh.)
It’s a great burger btw.
Russian disinfo is objectively massive. Yet you’re literally defending it like a conditioned dog.
I said you’re making up the scale of it, which you are.
The scale of “non-insignificant”? Yes, obviously it’s me who’s overreacting here. Lol.
No, not everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian, but most who virulently talk of “the West” and “European propaganda”, especially bringing it out when Russia is criticised turn out to be. It’s kinda funny, because said Ruskis never understand how see-through they are. Just like Davel. And even if I’m 100% confident he is Russian, and even had the evidence to prove it, he would never admit to it, because, why would he?
The point here is that Europe isn’t a hegemony. There is no “European propaganda” in the same sense there is organised Russian disinformation. To argue against that is just idiocy, and shows how little you understand what it’s like to live in Europe. And not all of Europe is EU either, even if EU had some sort of hegemony — which it doesn’t.
Lmao, that’s unbelievable, you’re literally the joke of the CIA agent telling the KGB agent that there’s no propaganda in the US
Oh like Russians who just stomp their foot and insist Lemmy doesn’t have Russians, okay it has Russians but not Russians pretending to be from other countries, okay Russians pretending to be from other countries but not on this absolutely gargantuan scale which you said, okay you didn’t say a gargantuan scale, you just said “non-insignificant”, but still, I’m right and you’re wrong.
Remember when I asked you if you were a Ruski, if you’d admit to it, or pretend to be from another country? Yeah… ;>
wyaaa wikipedia doesn’t have source-criticism or discussion, but it’s 100% “anglo-propaganda” *(holy fuck I’m giggling thanks for making my day, depressions really beating my ass so I need proper giggles like this)’ so you can’t trust anything on Wikipedia, you just should trust Lemmings like Davel and Yogthos etc.
Roflmao
I probably didn’t answer all your garbage but I’m off to have a burger now, I’ll read more about you crying and defending Russian disinfo later, because you won’t be able to give this up, because I’ve called you out on your BS and that just annoys you so when people don’t just do what they regularly do with people like you, which is to ignore them.
Like it’s so hilarious that you’re implying that basically only if Russia themselves admit to actively doing disinfo, then it’s gonna be trustworthy, but anyone else saying anything about it is bs? :D
Bund.de is probably just european propaganda and all made up but Russia doesn’t do disinfo right? Ruahahaha
I have a hard time understanding how most of Ruskis are so simple and yet still have the most chess GM’s and such good spycraft at higher levels.
Oh, getting a bit mad, huh? Where were you born and raised?
A whole essay shifting your goalposts. You said I’m making up Russians pretending to be Americans. I give you a every clear example, and you just kick off a tantrum about how “European propaganda” this and that. Clearly setting sort of teams here. And implying I’m on one (European) and by implication that you’re on another.
I’m really not up to writing an essay where I answer all your whataboutism and shitty implications.
If you’re pretending like “European propaganda” exists, that there’s some hegemonic culture which unites all the countries and thus all their intelligence apparatuses as well and they share coordinated disinformation campaigns equal to those of Russia? Get fucked, you know how ridiculous of a notion that is. Europe isn’t a hegemony, unlike Russia, which is absolutely infamous for its disinformation campaigns, all over the world. Objectively.
As social media gained prominence in the 2010s, Russia began to use platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube to spread disinformation. Russian web brigades and bots, typically operated by Russia’s Internet Research Agency (IRA), were commonly used to disseminate disinformation throughout these social media channels.[24] In late 2017 Facebook estimated that as many as 126 million of its users had seen content from Russian disinformation campaigns on its platform.[25] Twitter stated that it had found 36,000 Russian bots spreading tweets related to the 2016 United States elections.[26] Russia has used social media to destabilize former Soviet states such as Ukraine and Western nations such as France and Spain.[27] It has been suggested that since 2019, Russian-sponsored troll accounts and bots have formed and taken over prominent left-wing and right-wing subreddits on Reddit, such as the antiwar, greenandpleasant, and aboringdystopia subreddits, “suggest[ing] a Russian-led attempt to antagonize and influence Americans online, which is still ongoing.”[28] Canadian subreddits have also been directly targeted by Russia. [29]
Social media companies have moved to limit Russian disinformation on their platforms. In October 2019, Facebook moved to take down accounts connected to Yevgeny Prigozhin used to interfere with African political affairs.[30] Cameron Hudson, a senior fellow of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Council at the time, said Russia’s aim is to make its presence felt in the same way it did during the Cold War, but with a much smaller investment using disinformation campaigns.[30] In 2020, the United States State Department identified several “proxy sites” used by Russian state actors “to create and amplify false narratives”. These sites include the Strategic Culture Foundation, New Eastern Outlook, Crimea-based news agency NewsFront, and SouthFront, a website targeted at “military enthusiasts, veterans, and conspiracy theorists”.[31] Russian influence operations, such as the Pravda network, have increasingly spread content that serves as training data for large language models in order to influence the output produced
Fucking rofl. You have brain parasites which refuse to allow you a singles critical though towards cats.
Yet you’re talking about me being unrealistic.
Fuck off. There are literal dogs of war, just like there are war-horses. And pigeons. Because those all have a use and can be trained. Aside from killing vermin on ships, cats really do not have a use and you simply can not condition them to follow orders like domesticated animals.
Because they aren’t domesticated.
Feel like I’m repeating myself here, but that can’t be, since you’re definitely not ignoring facts for your feelings and then projecting I’m doing that. Definitely not. Even with all those sciency links in my comment and not even flimsy articles in yours, even though you claim there’s “legion” of cats having saved people.
Betcha you started desperately Googling after my last comment and couldn’t find one that didn’t fit the explanation I had, so you got mad. Reality hurts when you’re that wrong, eh?
Look at profiles like [email protected]
Literally pretending to be a red-blooded American while doing comments like “reality has a well known Russian propaganda-bias”, and having several comments on his profiles in fluent Russian.
If you were a Russian online in today’s atmosphere, would you admit to it, or pretend to be from another country?
No matter how much I’d like to make up shit against Russia, there’s no need. Unlike Russians, we Finns don’t feel the need to lie for our despotic leader. Mainly because we don’t have one. Haven’t had one since 1809 pretty much. Well, arguably a bit from 1809 to 1917, but I wouldn’t make that argument.
So yeah. Feel like reasoning your feelings out at all? Could help others figure out what you’re thinking.
Huh. I, on the other hand, have weirdly intrusive thoughts with smaller blades, like a kitchen blender or an uncovered fan, but a helicopter doesn’t faze me. Although can’t say I’ve ever been in one, but I’ve been very close by.
Anyway when blending shit I sometimes have intrusive thoughts. I don’t think I’d have a garbage disposal like I see in the movies. They’re probably not even allowed here in Finland, and my laziness would want one, but my accident-prone-ass knows I probably shouldn’t get one even if I could.
I once bought a mandolin for my kitchen. Here’s Jeremy Clarkson demonstrating what happens to everyone who buys their first mandolin without having read the stories.
Pfff. That’s simply not true. Not even remotely.
Oh no way, a gross oversimplification on the Internet? Who would do such a thing.
examples of kitties saving humans are legion.
No they’re not. Examples of dogs saving people are myriad. Cats? They exist, but they’re definitely not “legion”, despite the size of the world. You can see a lot of videos of cats “defending” people by attacking snakes or bears or whatever. But that’s the natural response the cat would have anyway, at least for what they consider their kittens. (And cats think people are just large non-hostile, inept, cats.
Oh hey here’s one where the cat isn’t attacking anything. https://www.pethealthnetwork.com/news-blogs/a-pets-life/hero-cat-saves-abandoned-baby-freezing-death
But it’s defending a baby, which has heightened characteristics of young’uns that cats recognise in us, like larger eyes and large head and whatnot. They’re pretty common in mammals. (Elephants also consider us babies afaik, because people keep large heads and large eyes in adulthood.)
But a cat doing a comparable stuff to dogs, which are actually domesticated and mysteriously adaptable. (We still don’t quite understand how there’s so much variance in dogs without any problems to crossbreeding)
I’m not trying to put down your relationship with any felines you might be friendly with, but I am pointing out that dogs are literally domesticated by people, whereas cats domesticated themselves.
It’s kinda how you could go to the worst prison imaginable and still pick up good deeds even violent offenders have done. And comparatively, you could go to a first grade class and the chances of finding violent offenders would be low, but obviously not zero. The violence would be rather different though.
Although that’s sort of a very strawmanny analogy, but it’s not for an argument, so it’s not a strawman. Especially because I very well recognise that some breeds of dogs are more violent than even a weirdly aggressive average-ish cat. That’s just because of the superb adaptation dogs have and the asshole people who practiced bloodsports.
So while some cats may have saved a few people, I just don’t see them being as capable of the type of love Sam has for Frodo. (And I’m not talking fanfics here.)
A non-insignificant portion are Russians pretending to be Americans.
I mean, a large portion of Lemmy is Russians.
I find it the funniest when actual Russians like [email protected], pretend to be Americans and go “why would Russian propaganda even care about something as small as lemmy?” Oh hmm let me think, an open unregulated and uncontrolled platform for spreading whatever, whenever and how much ever, why would that interest anyone pushing an agenda hmmm…
It’s crazy how many people defend these propaganda bots
Ship’s cats, yeah, because vermin on ships is an issue.
But getting cats to do anything selfless is impossible.
Mascots can be beneficial, as is ratcatching, but OP definitely got me, I got outraged at “battle cats” before using even an inch of my senses.
the underlying antagonists of the show turned out to be basically woman hating incels
Very much so, but they definitely hung a massive lantern on it, with She-Hulk using her meta-powers (much like Deadpool, but different) to change the script, literally going into the writers room, and a bunch of self-deprecating jokes from the writers ensues. (Spoilers, obviously)
To do that, you should also couple the pointing out of a fallacy with some reasoning as to why the conlusion drawn is incorrect, not just that the logic used to get to it was fallacious.
If you don’t address the conclusion at all, then you haven’t really done much, argument-wise.
but the local man didn’t say that.
Nor did I say he did.
An HR manager paying 15k to kill people remotely seems fitting.
Ofc it’s fucking Sara from HR. She always had that look in her eye.
I wonder if that’s just your interpretation of what she said and what she thinks, and I wonder if you even took the 20 seconds it takes to actually read what was said.
When asked if the sitcom genre is evolving or dying, Kurdrow said, “I wish they were evolving. ‘30 Rock’ and ‘Seinfeld’ and ‘Friends’ were really funny and really well written. But I’m not drawn to new sitcoms that are multi-camera in front of an audience because I’m not buying it. I don’t know if that’s just because I’ve seen too many single-camera sitcoms—I think we need to get back to being able to tell jokes. I feel like we’ve been too afraid to make jokes that might make people uncomfortable
She added, “But the really good ones, they’re not tame jokes. They’re jokes that are kind of, ‘I can’t believe you just said that.’ Comedy is about surprise. You need things you didn’t see coming.”
If I compare The Big Bang Theory to Friends, Friends had way more offensive humour, even relatively speaking (as in relative to the times). Yeah, retrospectively much of it is bad in regards to modern values. There’s homo- and transphobia, as it’s the 90’s. But at least it doesn’t feel as hollow as the Big Bang Theory where you can guess 95% of the “jokes” and there’s still shitty values being displayed anyway that ill definitely not look good in 20 years.
How are you with kitchen blenders?
I can help with that.
Yeah, that’s what they all say when the facts arw inconvenient.

You boldly offered me to ask if I wanted to know more, then refused to elaborate when actually asked.
Then say you won’t reply anymore. Sure thing, babe. ;>
Edit oh, right; “feel free to enjoy your belief system”
