It was too pricey for the Nazis too. They chose the cheaper alternative.

That’s the “sunk cost fallacy”

They’re bots that hooked onto the wrong video

We’ll see how much Trump like’s being told what to do.

They won’t even fucking notice.

I conflated the two. You’re right. But there were unedited satellite broadcasts with weird shit. I’ll see if I can dig up something.

Here’s the sort of thing from back in the day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFczpXAGz8Q&t=34

You should have seen how bad that kind of stuff was when satellite TV was new. Channels would broadcast straight out into the airwaves and not bother to cut the feed. There’s some old fox news clips for example of the guy losing his shit when he kept flubbing his lines. Can’t remember his name.

Consider the UK’s BBC and the guardian. They do it well and the perspective is just a little outside the American bubble. Used them and their live threads the past two elections.

The 80s: clear your throat in too high of a pitch? Get followed to the bathroom and the shit kicked out of you.

Yikes

Must be like that. Watched a televised rally with a guy and after a few minutes he looks at me and says “So, what do you think?” And I’m like “what even was that incoherent nonsense?”. Trump said three goddamn conflicting things in one sentence. Complete horshit. I couldn’t fucking believe this guy.

It’s an attempt to intimidate or even start a fight. You know, like brownshirts.

It’s fine. We know you’ll call the BBC a leftist rag.

In conservative media, sure.

Saw a fishercat in an industrial area not far from a large swath of floodplain and high voltage transmission lines. So there was a lot of territory for it nearby. Looks like a tall badger. Apparently pretty rare. Was walking around 18 wheeler trucks in motion like it owned the place, peeking around the dumpsters most likely looking for the young raccoons that hang around.

I guess nobody can tell how big they are from photos. There’s never someone standing next to them for comparison.

Planet of the apes

The correct word is “propagating”

Really it’s crowdsourcing and statistics. Show an image to a big enough crowd and someone will pick something up. It’s like the birthday problem but with geography.

Sure, they ‘know’ the context of a conversation but only by which words are most likely to come next in order to complete the conversation. That’s all they’re trained to do. Fancy vocabulary and always choosing the ‘best’ word makes them really good at appearing intelligent. Exactly like a Sales Rep who’s never used a product but knows all the buzzwords.
