A lot of the political entries are written with a bent towards being sympathetic with leftists.
The Kyle Rittenhouse article spends a lot of time on how Rittenhouse ‘appeared in conservative media’ or ‘appeared with conservative personalities’ which is a pretty weird thing to say, if you don’t already understand the political undertones of the Kenosha riot.
When you click the article for the Kenosha riot, it’s titled ‘civil unrest in Kenosha’ and focusses a lot on what a reader would perceive as positive aims of the riot. Protesting racism and police brutality, and doesn’t focus at all on the crime, danger, guns, vandalism, arson, etc
That article mentions BLM and when you read that article it makes sure to state that BLM protests were ‘largely peaceful’ and totally misses the amount of deaths and destruction that had happened at them.
The BLM article, if written like the Rittenhouse article, should focus a fair amount in the organizations ties to Marxism, the overthrowing of capitalism and colonialism, but doesn’t.
Wikipedia articles are written and edited and maintained to push a narrative.
If you agree with the narrative, you probably like that it does this. If you disagree, you probably don’t bother reading Wikipedia very much.
The issue with sources, is that a lot of ‘sources’ for stuff like this are already heavily curated to paint a picture the editors want to put on front street.
And anything that would combat that narrative is just outright banned from the site.
A lot of citations with politically charged topics are just opinions anyway. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer or sources on the war between Palestine and isreal, for example. But if Wikipedia editors want to push propaganda for either side over the other, all they have to do is only cite pro-Palestinian or pro-Israeli sources.
This is easily exploitable by editors for whatever narrative they choose to push.
Wikipedia is not an exhaustive gathering of all relevant information, it is a carefully curated propaganda machine for the editors.
Is it?
These people didn’t work for BioWare, didn’t have a CBA with BioWare, and the company they do have a CBA with says their contract with the client (BioWare) ended.
This is exactly how it’s supposed to happen, except the hysterical media used the word ‘laid off’ instead of ‘completed their contract’
Arrested means this shit is extremely serious. Like makes me think just straight up raping people over there.
Wtf
I usually keep one handy at all times, just so I can hold it up whenever the time is right and proclaim loudly:
“Anyone wanna screw?!”
Can I transfer my license to a steam one?
This is one of the few memes I see that I actually enjoyed, good post
Street fighter II
growing up with line ups of kids playing sfii in the arcades, leaving your quarters on the cab in a line to figure out who’s next, and when someone finally beat that Asian kid (who knew every move you’d make and always picked chun li) who played for free all day beating everyone else was finally beaten and the cheers and the whooping and sometimes even the real fist fights over it.
Street fighter ii was an absolute phenomenal moment in gaming
You should look into the dairy cartel of canada

I think a lot of people misread my intentions on this post lol
I’d love to upgrade, but I think my phone is great still. Battery still lasts more than a day. I also like bigger phones, I use my phone like a PC, a lot of reading, writing and watching videos and stuff.
Bigger = better imo (at least for my use case)
I mean, that doesn’t make the point any less of a good one.
I tell my kids not to use drugs or drink all the time. Guess what I do?
Likely not for long. I’m sure I’ll be banned from this instance within 90 days lol
Just abandon social media, I cannot think of a single positive thing that could possibly come close to outweighing the incredible harm it can cause us, collectively and individually
Hey bro, Twitter sucks!
(I hope that helps too)

Batteries haven’t advance far enough to make this headline possible
This report would make the switch more powerful than a steamdeck. I’ll believe it when I see it
Groceries are fucked, gasoline is fucked, interest rates are fucked, can’t buy a house, can’t buy a car (or probably shouldn’t right now), dollar is fucked, schools probably going on strike again, a Canadian team hasn’t won the Stanley cup in 30 years ……
Does this have anything to worry consumers about in cold climates where cars could accumulate snow and road salt on them, and then say - park the car in the garage where it all melts into salt water?
Did any other makes of electric vehicles also burst into flames in Florida?
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Whoever said that should step out of their bubble and have a look around once in awhile
