If you're wondering about the username: https://xkcd.com/1714/ Get this to FP and I'll be on FP.

Questionable content? Damn I must have missed a lot since I last kept up with it because I don't have a clue what this is referencing.

That sounds like something 127.0.0.1 would say... Am I talking to myself again?

Ooh I wanna contribute! I'm a dev, not quite for this kind of thing but I do know a bit about web development and various RESTful things. I can at least help break it!

I just went back to most viral and this was right at the top /gallery/youre-saying-theres-chance-4Bj3Ivp#2hlOkFS The bruise means nothing and isn't even really worth discussing, yet it's getting so much attention over things that actually matter and the rumor mill is churning.

Whichever route you go, even if you stick around imgur (which let's face it, is a bit of an echo chamber), always check their sources or ask them to otherwise back up their claims. Asking questions and verifying claims is the best defense against misinformation and propaganda, which is unfortunately a skill we all need to learn now that there's so much corporate controlled garbage out there and the corporations who used to speak truth are paying millions to avoid Trump's ire.

FB is a pretty terrible place to look for news unless it's personal accounts from people you know. I don't even look at my feed anymore because it's flooded with friends who repost Fox News and rant about Biden being the source of all their problems. Social media in general is not good for that. Follow Independent media sources like the ones I mentioned (probably lots of other great ones depending on your interests and location) and you'll do much better. Can't recommend Daily Beans enough!

And get your meme doses from reddit. Everything here (memes, news, etc) is pretty much reposted from reddit anyways, or the people who post here will cross-post to Reddit and similar platforms. Imgur has been great in the past but if corporate skeezes are going to flip it for profits at our expense, the best recourse is to give them the finger and reconvene elsewhere so they lose their millions of dollars in predatory acquisitions.

Honestly there's enough misinformation and half-truths on here you're really better off being skeptical of everything you see anyways. I would recommend podcasts like The Daily Beans (primarily focused on American politics, very sharp and focused with brilliant hosts), The Bunker (primarily UK politics but also world news), Pod Save the World (global politics), Strict Scrutiny (in-depth American legal analysis), and basically any NPR/BBC podcasts. All are free with just a few ads here and there.

I've gotta say, it's a fun language, if you can get past the mutations and multiple consonants being vowels. Linguistically it's very interesting.

History has examples of both, unfortunately. Sometimes the oppressed fight back. Sometimes they are so skillfully oppressed that they won't until they hit the threshold where they can't anymore. Don't take anything for granted, act now.
