Comment Pointing to a conspiracy site (Score 1) 99

Absolutely helps his cause. Because your comment will be upvoted and it will therefore keep his comment visible and a handful of people will click on the parent comment to get the context and then click on the conspiracy site and fall down the rabbit hole as intended.

The problem is we lost the media war. Psychopaths bought up all the mass media outlets and are using them to promote insanity so that they can seize power by offering Insanity in place of real economic solutions.

So you don't get affordable housing or accessible Health Care but you can indulge in conspiracy theories about the Illuminati tracking us with microchips in vaccines.

This has been very well studied. Basically the world is a horrible and chaotic place and people want to make sense of it in a way that makes them feel like they have some semblance of control. So they turn to conspiracy theories to get that feeling.

In America especially elections are very close so if you've got two or three percent falling into those conspiracies you can win elections with them. That's why Robert f Kennedy Jr is currently running our healthcare system.

It appears to be there American website. If I go to their Australian website and look at a hardcore it keeps the Australian path.

In terms of who's going to see this article the most this is going to be viewed by Americans and an American English the word pledge has a very specific context.

So yeah this is absolutely manufactured consent.

[Delphi]...In an alternative universe, these languages have been dead for decades and no sane business would invest in writing software in those languages.

Delphi/Lazarus is one of the most stable GUI development platforms. MS changes its UI engine & tooling more often than I change my underwear, and MS killed the other commercial GUI competitors using bundling and size.

Delphi/Lazarus may not be esthetically shiny and new, but it works and has been working. Most complaints are for fairly obscure needs. Some things are successful simply because people don't keep fucking with it based on Fad of the Month. It's a GitOffMyLawn tool.

Even the crown thought he was pushing things. But fuck that product that is time shit. Human beings didn't develop empathy in the last 200 years we've had it for at least 20,000.

If we use the times as an excuse we can always kill people horrifically any time we want and just say well, I was having a bad day. That's only a mild exaggeration. Your argument means that I can build death camps if the economy goes south. Which is exactly what America is doing
