I actually don’t think it works. It’s better if we retaliate in the same way Israel does.

What 7 October taught is the hypocrisy of our leaders. I am specifically talking about Muslim leaders and Erdogan, but in general I think this is also true.

In my country, we had been saying that the government was doing business with Israel, even though they were condemning on every public forum. It took only 1 journalist until the whole public saw the hypocrisy. 1 journalist against all TV channels and internet trolls. (Here 95% of all TV channels are sponsored by government).

I remember telling this years ago, yet this man, who also had to leave the country for his other journalist work said it at the right time with the right tools.

So, what I get this is, don’t stop telling the truth. Even though nobody listens now, people will when the right time comes.

All I can say is that I manage a team of people and frequently get the following two messages: “I don’t want to come to the office. I feel very isolated working by myself at home - oh my mental health.” What are we supposed to do with this?

So your team of people work in the office? And they rather work at home? What’s exactly your point?

Exactly. I think it has to do with the old way of thinking. They might think that working in office is more productive.

I’m curious to see if AI tech can actually help fight some of the bullshit out there

Those AI are the best ones to produce fake scientific papers. It’s a cat and mouse game again. Those who can detect bullshit can produce the best bullshit.

I recently watched an interview with an academic woman who trolled the academia with completely wrong things in his papers, and yet it was approved. Academics, and scientific data is not so objective as it may seem from the outside.

In my country whatsapp messenger can and will be seen by the government if there is a request. Have heard it many times. I don’t think any messenger or anything you write is actually secure or actually private. We just came to terms with that.

I use them all, but whatsapp prevails all, because Whatsapp was there first.

What’s more important is that we know whatsapp is not the only device, and can be easily replaced.

Capitalism, its bubbles and inflations.

It’s amplified by the fact that it’s an island so foreigners are scarce

First off, in these times, being an island doesn’t mean anything, so that is not an excuse actually. Second, I have heard that their own policy regarding taking non-Japanese in made them a bit more isolated.

I want to tell you that no french think of it that way.

Of course not, that’s the point though. It is your first language, so for you that’s the norm. But for the rest of the world with another language that’s weird as fuck.

I hope that too, but I’m less optimistic. We live in a capitalistic world.

I cannot trust someone on certain issues if this person is biased against some of these issues. That is the world today. I’m not against veganism btw, I don’t care what people eat, but I truly do not believe in certain number presented even though I do believe that animals are treated very harshly in this capitalistic world because of profits.

kurzgesagt is also political. The video about vegan food threw me off.

It’s ok, downvote me, I’m not against veganism btw, I don’t care what people eat, but I truly do not believe in certain number presented even though I do believe that animals are treated very harshly in this capitalistic world because of profits.

This is not Streisand effect, because the censoring happens on reddit. Anyone on that platform is already there.

Counter-strike was in the 2000s though right? Or am I gone mad?

There are many reasons for inflation, but the biggest in Capitalistic economy is the interest and that there is no Gold the money is tied to. Basically, they can print out as many dollars as they want. There is no Gold standard.

Sincere question, how do I use the block feature, I mean, can we filter out certain words? I only know of blocking of users.
