My wife was telling me about how annoying it is that she'll try listening to new true crime podcasts and they'll shit like "unalived" instead of "killed". Comes across hella disrespectful to the victims.

"says le$bian"

Really. Can you spell out phonetically how they say that?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

$bian is a variable but it wasn't set, so it's pronounced "le-undefined"

Can't stand it. Censoring yourself so some random ass company can make more ad revenue.

Fuck that.

Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy's source code.

Leftist instance that your instance preemptively defederated from, presumably so you could stay in your echo chamber

tiktok

I automatically have zero respect for anyone using that chinese spyware trash.

Why specify Chinese? Any private social media mobile app is spyware

Made in china, under complete control of ccp as every big company in china is. It is very unfortunate that younger generation is essentially being raised by tiktok and its algorithm.

Facebook is bad, no doubts about that, it's also unavoidable as the only social media for most people, and it's also not fun for most people. Tiktok on the other hand is interesting, it's captivating, the algorithm tailors it to you, microdoses you with dopamine. I'm sure that same algorithm can be, if desired, used to push pro-china/pro-russia/anti-west narratives to varying degrees of subtlety, tailor-made to each user, to further destabilize certain countries, united states included.

Social media is dangerous, social media controlled by a potential enemy is dangerous on a whole another level.

Oh no, telling people that the US isn’t the greatest country in the world, the horror!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Big difference between "The US isn't actually the greatest country in the world" (whatever the fuck "greatest" means, they're never too clear about that) and "Uighyurs are dangerous dissident terrorists who need to be re-educated. Any organ donations are purely voluntary."

But then again, I am talking to a CCP shill from lemmygrad. Pretty much pissing into an ocean of piss here.

Do you have a source to back your claims up?

Make no mistake, there have been some allegations in the UN report, that if true, I would want China to do better. But I don’t remember reading about organ harvesting in there.

Who do you trust to make reputable claims that aren’t motivated by political reasons on this?
