My desire to avoid media made by assholes has less to do with capitalism and the fact the artist could make money off my attention (though that is part of it), and more to do with wanting to avoid giving them a platform. If someone like Roman Polanski is making great movies and I'm going around telling everyone what incredible art he's making, people are more likely to overlook or even excuse his actions because he's a great artist. Sure, it's worse in a consumerist society because then famous artists also have more money defend themselves, but that shield of public opinion exists in any society. Well, any that has people that like art, anyway. People find it easy to make excuses for those they idolize.

Takes 4+ years to prosecute a popular, rich traitor. Takes one day to screw over poor people. Gotta love justice.
At least Trump got convicted in NY, I guess...
I don't remember anyone saying 10 was worse than 8. Maybe buggier on launch, but stylistically it worked more like 7 than 8 did
Our healthcare system is so efficient that after a hospital refuses to provide care thanks to religious nutjobs, the at-risk patient has to take a bucket and a towel and drive themselves to another hospital instead of being taken by an ambulance with actual medical personnel. Maybe they were just 10 grand short of being able to afford it.
Holy fuck.
Their name is Erika Ishii! They're a great comedian too, they've made a lot of appearances on Dropout
They're the type of people who click on Facebook ads
I dunno. Plenty of pro-Russian posters on Lemmy, and in this very thread. It is funny to see people arguing that Ukrainian sources should be removed since they can't give an unbiased picture of Russian casualties, though--I'm sure Russian sources are totally unbiased, lol!
She's wearing some kind of long glove; you can see the cutoff on her left bicep. I don't really get it either tho
Social media is one of the central ways news organizations get information and has been for over a decade. I mean, that's one of the central reasons Musk's Twitter fuckups have been such a big deal! Removing a post for that is really stupid
Roll with disadvantage, the NPC is fucking pissed at your genie logic and desperately wants to kick your ass
it's because people are misunderstanding your joke as saying "they should try not being colonialists" (pretty hard to read it as anything else tbh), and you're misunderstanding the backlash as people shitting on dwb when it's literally the opposite
So what if the clock says 4:30 am? It's the same time in that you're working the same daylight. All removing it would do for you is change the number on your clock, but for the people who work on set schedules it would change our needing to fuck with our sleep schedules twice a year
