i like how this overtook: “scotty, beam me up”. lol

i wish americans and other westerners weren’t so good spreading propaganda to each other without at least getting paid like the cia or fbi or homeoffice; things are tough out there and you should be paid for your work.

here are articles of americans doing the same thing with prison labor:

downvotes are a good thing here; they prove that you’ve atleast acknowledged these facts and that the seed of doubt can now germinate in your mind.

The Democrat/Republican one would be first on my list

til of waterfox and fennec; thanks for the reply.

and implying that the united states didn’t help is willful ignorance at best since its diplomats worked to convince the iranians that it wasn’t going to happen.

that’s probably to be expected from youtube

i suspec that, so long as it’s publicly stated, it’ll work

it’s not necessary; we’re pretty good a spreading around the manufactured narratives ourselves.

Why is this news?

Propaganda

i was going to say this, so this must be nothing more than performative.

why is it not surprising that the .worlder’s use them?

meme’s are more consumable because of their brevity and their humor and i wonder whether or not they’re more proned to manipulation given that longer forms of media DEFINITELY are given that they require much more capital to create.

This field is so incredibly lousy w people like us that it makes me marvel at the ones w the kind of job security that I crave because it means that their hyper focus not only aligns w the company’s profit line but they’ve also managed to have a tenure that steered clear of enough clueless neurotypicals to keep them from getting fired or on the chopping block for a layoff.

I qualify as an aspie too and I would likely be in the same boat were it not for my software development skills.

i’ve recently had to accept that my neurodivergence makes managers, supervisors, etc. uneasy about me despite my stellar track record and the sole reason why i was able to maintain continuous employment was because of my high demand skill set; which means that employment will become increasingly difficult as i continue to age.

If you can afford it; get a lawyer in involved.

If you can’t: pray, if you’re religious

If you’re not: I hope you’re not American and I hope you’re lucky

i wish i understood why it’s only the spanish politicans that are pushing for change

my favorite used to be a sauce named “amor” that was primarily centered around southern california and baja california.

it was a little bit like cholula, but w MUCH stronger vinegar punch to it and it makes my mouth water every time i think about it on top of chips or other snacks; sort of like frank’s hot sauce if it were more sour and more picante at the same time.

the brand still exists, but their recipe changed significantly about 20-ish years ago and i’ve been unable to find anything like it to call my favorite.

porn star; that is if i were hot. lol

i learned to stay away from midtown or battery-park/statue-of-liberty or any other tourist traps between friday afternoon and monday morning as a result of this.
