That is the thing I’m seeing the most this past year and it’s already starting up for this year - there seems to be little thoughtfulness being put into things online. It’s just a firehose of high-engagement, low-impact, low-thought chaff.

I guess so. Try to think clearly before you post something next time and don’t get so angry so quickly.
I know… I just can’t understand why.
Maybe you need to calm down. I can’t believe you’re getting so worked up over the Foo Fighters.
I’m not your friend, you narcissist. The only time I even acknowledge you exist is when I’m on the toilet taking a dump.
LOL. Yeah… you’re the big bad evil end guy in all of our lives. You’re more delusional than I thought.
Why does it always have to go to extremes immediately with you people? They are not “my favorite person”. None of them. You are not my friend. Not in the slightest. I’m not inventing a narrative. It is a fact that this was all done at Nate’s request and that the amount of time the support existed is dwarfed by the amount of time they’ve supported AIDS education after realizing it was a mistake. You’re the one basically saying it’s unforgivable, that people can’t change their minds, and are inventing a narrative. You’re just projecting. Stop. Just admit that you mischaracterized it and that what you said wasn’t accurate and be done with it.
Except you did. You’re literally on a discussion where you posted Dave Grohl because of something he was a part of for maybe 2 or 3 years that wasn’t even his idea to begin with while ignoring everything he’s done for 20+ years since.
And now you’re being dishonest about it.
No one is hand waving anything away. Nate is a member of the band. The message on the website was clear that it was his message.
You make it seem like people can’t change their views based on new information. It’s not like they could go back in time and not do those things after the fact. They’ve done far more in support of AIDS education. It’s not fair to vilify them for something they did for a few years while ignoring everything they’ve done since for more than 20 years.
Bari Weiss is not someone to give your time to so thanks for posting that. Nearly everything she writes now is dishonest and she pretends to espouse liberal ideas while constantly taking conservative positions and then calling herself a “left-leaning centrist”. It’s hot garbage.
To be fair, it wasn’t Dave’s idea or something he supported. It was bassist Nate Mendel’s message that they were, admittedly, amplifying. Even the info on their website had a disclaimer that listed it as “being displayed at the request of Nate Mendel”.
I think they all regret being involved in amplifying that message too, including Nate. In the 20 years since they initially broke support with the people involved, they’ve played several shows in support of HIV/AIDS awareness groups, fundraised for Elton John’s AIDS Foundation, and every tour they do now has some kind of fundraising or auctions to support AIDS education or LGBTQIA+ rights.
It feels like they know now, in hindsight of course, that it was harmful and have at least tried to do more good to make up for it. Mendel was even quoted saying that the only reason he did it was because he thought he was helping people, not hurting them.
I can explain why the PS2 platformers are more complex and detailed and better
Then why haven’t you? The whole problem is you keep saying that this is objectively true without providing any evidence that comes anywhere close to being objective.
What’s your issue with the W3C?
So it’s not quite the version you played and it seems to be from older films. If I’ve heard it, I don’t recognize it and wouldn’t be able to point it out but I also didn’t play Minecraft that much.
Yeah… it’s not even that good, imo.
Not everyone. Where am I supposed to have heard this before?
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. It seemed like such a silly concept and my read started as comical curiosity and ended with a profound change in how I saw the world.
Ur mom made you. Ain’t no bigger joke.
It’s not VR if you can see the real world. That’s literally the only distinction between the two and you messed it up.
