TLDR: Bot generated random number, happened to be a real person’s phone number

I don’t understand what is “terrifying” about that. Even without the bot, anyone with malicious intent could imagine up a random phone number.

These kind articles with thin content are just used by these news agencies to fit into the “bots are bad” narrative that makes them money. Of course bots are bad in many ways, but not for such flimsy reasons.

 

TLDR - what’s the question mark in the following scale

Cult(-1)……………….Religion(0)……………….????(+1)

Long version (a.k.a my stupid mind’s question that is keeping me awake):

My understanding of cult is a group of people with an absurd or even possibly nefarious belief system. Like something negative.

By that definition I would put religion in the middle (though a majority of it leans towards the cult side). A group of people that is very serious about what they believe in, no matter how illogical it is.

So with this understanding what would you call the positive side ? A group of people coming together to have a tradition and belief system just for the fun of it ? Is there such thing ?

Oh sorry I didn’t think of that. I was just using his name in a funny way. Besides my intention were about people like him, but the discussion went about him anyways.

On the face of it, it looks like that. It probably is that.

But if we think about it for a moment. He is a person after all. Brushes teeth, eats, po*p s like everyone else. And it is sometimes when we do these mundane things in our lives, we just think. At least during some of those moments there would be some self reflection. Everyone has something to be guilty about. It’s just that these kind of people have a lot of options in that area. So I’m wondering if they are just in denial. And that is such a sad superpower to have.

True, but still, by getting used to does it mean they don’t bring cringe inducing memories to themselves. I know the feeling when some of mine bottle up once in a while. But I can’t imagine how much they would be for people like him and Orange Bob. It is superhuman level of self tolerance.

Come on man, I’m not gonna talk about my endian publicly

[–] pocker_machine@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So all this time true was actually false and false was actually true ?

Man, this is sacred. This should be the first line in Intro to Internet.

This is what I’m talking about, you can’t even acknowledge about the terror attack by Pakistan.

Lol I didn’t cite anything. It has been talked about by multiple media outlets already but since you can’t (won’t) find it, here is the sweaty defence minister’s original interview.

I know that this wont fix your illusionary denial of the facts and you’ll find some way to twist things to force yourself into your belief system. So I’ll rest my response here. Only you can save yourself from yourself my friend.

Ya you are reading lemmy from a city that got bombed, very believable narrative.

Regardless, I agree with the point that civilians should never be attacked, no matter what side they are on, be it India or Pakistan.

Having said that. When the defence minister of Pakistan has openly accepted they harbour terrorists (go watch it on YouTube, an easy find) and the terrorists attack civilian tourists, shoots husbands in front of their wife and children, I'm sure your mouth won't open to talk about it.

Sad. Not the comment, you. Hopefully it has satisfied your appetite for sending misinformation.

They are “squabbling” about terrorists killing of innocent civilians. But you don’t need to worry about it, nobody you know is in danger. Please continue with your ingest-digest-excrete-repeat cycle.

Are there people who specifically watch these videos for the reactions? I can imagine some enjoying it, but I thought the general consensus (at least among my friends) is that it’s annoying. I was hoping the trend would die out at some point, but the opposite seems to be happening.

 

I used to occasionally enjoy watching random videos online. But this trend of people attaching their annoying and obviously FAKE reactions on top of the video is happening a lot lately. Aren't people bothered by this ? How is that even supposed to help with the content of the video ? I understand if they own the content of the video, but lately I see a lot of people doing it on completely random content.

 
 

Additionally, what name would you never give to your kid ? And why ?

 

I see this trend lately where a lot of youtubers tend to face and look at multiple cameras while they are explaining stuff.

I don’t know if it adds anything to the experience. Sometimes I even feel dizzy, probably my brain not able to process so many movements while trying to understand them.

Do you find it amusing ?
