One of the joys of being a deck officer on oil tankers is going out and changing nav lights that have burned out after navigating the ship for 4 hours. A tiny, minuscule fraction of the audience would be extremely entertained seeing this tradition carried on aboard federation ships.

elbowdrop , to Work Reform in Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set

Perhaps they are referencing the writer strike in the 2000. It killed a lot of good shows. I think the biggest one was lost. Great first two seasons, then it became nonsense.

    Mateoto , to Work Reform in Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set

    It’s interesting to see that the discussion about AI (which the writer and actors strikes are based on) have an impact on workers in the US.

    We hopefully experience the strengthening of unions and work reforms. Ideally, this will be a general movement bringing back policies that have been teared down since Regean.

    Viking_Hippie ,

    It’s not ONLY about AI though. It’s one amongst many issues, such as being paid next to nothing in residuals for being in wildly successful streaming shows, having no job security and generally being at the mercy of cruel and capricious bosses who decide their future on a whim and are even capable of enacting de facto blacklists if they get pissed off.

    I went to reddit a little while ago to check on the status of my favored reddit app, and past the top 15 or so posts is the same shit I saw days ago. New content there has seriously dropped off.

    Looks like I slipped into bizarro world. Anyone know the way back?

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    Sorry. This is the world we live in. I too would like to know the way back to a place where people can easily define the differences between a man and a woman.

    bobthened ,

    People know how to tell the difference between men and women. That’s not what this is about.

    stanleytweedle ,

    What is your ‘easy definition’ of the difference between a man and a woman?

    effingjoe , to Politics in Watch BLM get outwitted by Ben Shapiro. How soon until the libs start going after ethnocentrism?

    Shapiro relies almost solely on the Gish Gallop debate technique:

    The Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments.

    Having too many shitty arguments for any one person to refute is not how I'd describe "outwitting" someone.

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    Shapiro is known for his fast-paced and articulate speaking style. He possesses a strong command of language, which enables him to present his arguments clearly and succinctly.

    Shapiro is well-versed in a wide range of topics, including politics, economics, philosophy, and social issues. He often extensively prepares for debates by researching the subject matter, gathering relevant data, and constructing persuasive arguments.

    Shapiro is known for his confident and assertive demeanor during debates. He is not afraid to challenge opposing views and presenting his own perspective.

    Shapiro actively seeks out debate opportunities and is open to engaging with individuals who hold opposing views. His willingness to participate in discussions and defend his ideas contributes to his reputation as a debater.

    You'd be more accurate if you stated that you have trouble following Shaprio's debate style as it is quite clear that many people recognize him as a well spoken and worthy debate opponent. While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, that opinion is not commonly recognized, as many people seek debates with him.

    Clearly, in an echo chamber of leftys and libs, my opinion on Shapiro's debate style will not be recognized as the general consensus. However, it's best to keep a perspective that is open minded when listening to opinions with which you might disagree, instead of just attempting to nullify everything that is said simply because you dislike a particular person.

    effingjoe ,

    HandsHurtLoL , to Politics in At what point does blatant racism become acceptable and encouraged?

    Nothing I say can make you see people of color as worth dignity, so I don't care to expend the energy to try to convince you.

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    Nothing I say can make you see people of color as worth dignity, so I don't care to expend the energy to try to convince you.

    Now you're implying that I'm racist while I'm clearly advocating for anti-racist policies... It's certainly true that the leftys don't get much smarter than this prime example.

    Since when is charity dignifying for the recipient?

    Well, YouTube filled with corporate greed too, yet you still on YouTube.

    Globulart ,

    And one of the first points in the video is about how they’ll continue posting their content on reddit to help with views…

    Somehow they haven’t seen any issue with this though. Way to take the moral high road ragdoll!

    redsol2 ,

    I really wish there were more viable alternatives to Youtube, but since so many peoples' livelihoods rely on having the largest audience possible, they're pretty much forced to use YouTube.

    @Hairyblue@kbin.social avatar

    Black Lives Matter, too. Who could be against this? And Ben Shapiro has terrible opinions about minorities and the LGBT community. He is not a good person. And he is not quick witted.

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    Black Lives Matter, too. Who could be against this?

    All lives should be treated as equals. "Social equity" is not equality. Since when is charity dignifying for the recipient?

    Ben Shapiro has terrible opinions about minorities and the LGBT

    Shapiro has stated multiple times that he would rather a child have two gay parents over being an orphan. I won't deny that some of his takes are a bit on the theocratic side. But he isn't theocratic, he recognizes that while his religious beliefs do influence his perspectives, not everyone should be coerced to live the way which he chooses to live.

    He is not a good person

    Clearly, in an echo chamber of leftys and libs, my opinion on Shapiro will not be recognized as the general consensus.

    Did you verify any of this kook’s rant yourself or do you just believe whatever you see on youtube?

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    I can't possibly stand differing opinions. We must ignore all views which don't align with the echo chamber!

    Ignorance is bliss, my friend.

    stanleytweedle ,

    Wouldn’t it be fun to shut everyone up with proof? If you could just drop a links that proved your nonsense about this kooks ‘receipts’ everyone would be so impressed and enlightened. But- if you could you would.

    HeartyBeast ,
    @HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

    I was going to say - waving a bit of paper in the air and speaking authoritatively does not make something true.

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    Surely it would be too bothersome to search for and verify these occurrences yourself. Ignorance is bliss.

    stanleytweedle ,

    What search terms would you suggest to verify your claims about this kook and his ‘receipts’?

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    Try searching the words the man in the video is saying. Seems obvious. But, oh well. You can only lead a horse to water...

    stanleytweedle ,

    How would that help establish the veracity of his ‘receipts’? You’ve taken all this on faith without ever actually seeing the ‘receipts’ yourself?

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    I read the news articles, from various sources. I trust you can not only find the same articles, but do your own due diligence. It's quite sad that this simple task is seemingly so difficult for you lot.

    stanleytweedle ,

    But you haven’t seen the ‘receipts’ yourself. Gotcha.

    HeartyBeast ,
    @HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

    Be my guest.

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    Yes and I trust in your ability to use online search engines too instead of ignoring what has been brought to your attention. If you refuse to see what is obvious to others, it does not make it untrue.

    I hope God has blessed you in some other important way. Best wishes.

    stanleytweedle ,

    I’m vision impaired so search results are difficult for me to comb through quickly. If you’re not just a lying liar I would appreciate it if you provided what you found that you think verified this kook’s rant.

    Unhappily_Coerced OP ,

    Best of luck to you in your endeavors. I love high contrast visual themes and the "Read Aloud" text to speech add-on, helps me a heap!

    stanleytweedle ,

    Thanks for confirming what we both already knew.
