Klarna or physical enslavement prison labor?

…Do you really think, when most people are reading this post, their initial thought is. “Huh, a tweet. I dunno if this Jeremy guy is real, let me consider that… Eh, I like the sentiment anyway. Upvote.”

I didn’t even read the account’s name until your comment (I also didn’t upvote because I don’t upvote a post unless it’s small and/or I really like it).

I try to not extend my experience as “normative” to other people but I don’t believe people are giving names much credence unless they’re famous.

To be clear, if you were OP of this post, what would you do now? Just remove the author, that’s it?

Idk if you can hotswap the content of a post. If I learned after posting, I’d probably just delete the post because I don’t feel strongly enough to put the work into editing and reposting. I wouldn’t have even posted this in the first place because I don’t think this is novel enough to be posting. That’s almost besides the pount but you asked for personal opinions.

If I knew beforehand (and was possessed of a desire to share this), yeah, I’d just cut out the account name.

I agree the tweet form factor drives engagement for some reason, but if the username were “fake-anti-capitalist-tweets” with a blue thumbs up icon, I’m certain it would have moved in much the same ways.

This weird in context of the show. Skips is the oldest, as an immortal, and would outlive the rest of them. Labeling him as the newest media is off. It’d be more accurate if it were depicted as daguerotype outliving digital.

I’m not dodging the issue. You even copied a quote of me facing the “issue.”

Just because it’s a bot doesn’t make the validity of the message any less. It just means OP should clip out the account’s name.[emphasis added onto original text]

It’s presented as a tweet. Whether or not you trust any tweet is a personal decision. You yourself, unless you have a habit of checking the background of every tweet picture posted, decided not to trust this one.

You keep saying it’s upvoted for its authenticity and I keep saying that’s not the case. If this was framed as a hypothetical, it would get much the same reception because they aren’t saying "wow, it’s sad this destitute man is having trouble renting a new home. We should make things better for real people like Jeremy. "

They’re probably thinking, “fuck yeah, I feel that. Shit’s expensive out here for everybody.”

A parable is fake too. The point here isn’t commiserating with a real person’s real financial problem. It resonates with the truth of financial strain people feel in their own lives.

Do you think there isn’t a person alive somewhere in the US that has been priced out of their apartment? Do you think the fees (not the amount it costs) tacked on to applying for a new rental apartment are fake?

As someone who was priced out of regular rentals: I can assure you, they are not.

Edit: and I’m not claiming we should all just repost bot farm content. I’m saying it’s not surprising a populist message echoing people’s struggles is being upvoted. And acting incredulous about that fact doesn’t change anything.

“Sir, do you have any idea how fast this 1bed/1bath was going? 800 mph. Step out of the apartment for me, sir.”

Because the message isn’t offensive, and people (probably) didn’t know it was bot content because they aren’t in the habit of checking the background of posts.

Rhetorical questions only really work when, in reconsidering the question, the absurdity or indefensibility of the situation being questioned comes to light.

Just because it’s a bot doesn’t make the validity of the message any less. It just means OP should clip out the account’s name.

Beyonce would fund a PMC to destabilize Uganda herself. She would not take any level of disrespect.

We had the lived experience of Trump from his first term. If people could learn from history, there would have been world peace decades ago.

History is long, but human memory is short and malleable.

The only people coming to the US now are the truly desperate refugees that couldn’t afford to go anywhere better.

I honestly think you take the bordering states of 1 and 3, and give them to 2. And the rest form a united 1.

Basically, putting 2 between a hammer and an anvil

Threw off her swim mojo. Definitely not because she’s the 5th best swimmer in that group.

Because saying “get out” to someone commenting that they think the vibes are harsh is pretty negative.

So is Israel funding separatist states now to fabricate allies?

biohazards:

You just stop making words for a few seconds.

I could list the multiple cities I surveyed where capping the maximum price at $700,000 filtered more houses than capping the minimum at $420,000.

Unless you have research data that documents the median house prices for urban and near-urban locations, your $400,000 is just as much an anecdotal, “cherry picked edge case” as any other value.

You came in, gave no supported facts, but complained that someone’s anecdote is false and biased while fully refusing to engage in contextualizing the tweet.

Best I can do is $3.50

It’s not presented as a binary?

It’s combating a universal claim “that all violence is equally bad”, with the potential existence of a counter example: “evil of the escaping slave’s violence in pursuit of freedom cannot be equal (or worse) than the evil of the slave master’s violence to enslave another.”

They could be even better at swordfighting, making that their strong suit. So you see, whether or not the pen is mightier then the sword depends on which is your strong suit.
