When they got rid of the open voice chat between teams at the start, halftime switch and ending it basically went away.

I do miss the halftime shit talk spam though. The picosecond everyone could talk to each other you would just get 10 open mics screaming random shit. One guy would just be calling the opposing teams top Fragger a cheating sack of shit. Someone else would bully the bottom Fragger on the other team for only having 4 kills in a half. Someone would blast ear rape music.

A simpler time. haha

“my favorite platform” homie it’s an app to read the news. I don’t give a shit if you use it haha.

I think it’s pretty good. Other people don’t. I don’t really care either way. Give it a try if you’re curious.

That’s a very healthy mindset to have. Too many people happily lock themselves into many bubbles/echo chambers and they lose all perspective. Just because you discuss topics with people doesn’tean you have to agree with them. It’s still important to know what other views exist out there.

I wish more people were like you.

I’m digging that one hurricane in south America that looks lost.

This was how I felt when the post about the PS2 turning 25 came by a few days ago. What the fuck happened.

Why is everything worse now lol

I’ll just save you the trouble. Ground news probably isn’t for you.

Mind blowing? No lol.

But it does reveal what topics both sides either avoid covering or cover poorly.

It’s nothing that should really surprise anyone at this point but it is a good reminder that where you get your news will leave you “blind” (heh) to certain things.

A good example would be like a good guy with a gun situation. Basically any situation that was “saved” by a good guy with a gun doesn’t get much coverage on the left or if they do cover it they tend to ignore the 2A aspect of the event or downplay it’s significance.

On the flip side any news that looks bad for 2A advocates will basically not get reported on by the right at all.

What blind spot is nice for is reading articles from both sides on the same event since they both report on it differently. Reading both and taking into account the underlying biases of each source make you feel like you get a better picture of the whole situation as opposed to just one view.

TL;DR: Not mind blowing at all, but kinda interesting if used correctly.

Yeah… I have a rule that I don’t take any advice from Australians ever.

They lost a war to some overgrown chickens for fuck sake.

What if I was paid and this was actually just 4d chess guerilla marketing?

JK I wish I was getting paid to say shit like that.

Shit I would do an ad read for the Taliban if it would get me outta financial prison.

Ground news is pretty dope and the only people hating on it seem to be the people that have never used it, but thinks that it’s automatically bad because of the whole left/right thing.

It’s still a place to consume a large amount of news very quickly and at a glance you can see if one side isn’t reporting on something or if they are reporting on it using very different language or focusing on different aspects on the topic.

Nothing will ever be perfect, but as the saying goes the enemy of perfect is good.

Just makes logical sense looking at it. I can see like rolled up gymnastics mats or something.

Something to hold rilled up mats or pads or something? Adjustable to thicker materials or different sizes rolls maybe?

Remember when you could download limewire pro using limewire? Those were the days.

Every other song I downloaded was actually just bill Clinton’s speech: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

I mean even CNN issued a clarification of their own fact check that says what he said is true. Just in typical Trump fashion he worded his rant like a 5 year old that found a thesaurus.

If your dog is only trained when you are around and giving commands then it isn’t very well trained.

A properly trained dog shouldnt require commands to keep them from barking/attacking a TV.

There are levels of dog training and most people do basically none or stop at basic commands like stop/sit/come here.

I truly trained dog should be able to sit still while another untrained dog barks in its face without you having to give any commands.

Wait till you find out that dogs are trainable and you can get them to stop doing that lol

Yup. No problem though. In the future AI can just add the now very real town to you AR eyeballs brought to you by Chipotle Exxon and T mobile.

Would this be the same AI that spits out incorrect summarys or just flat out gets data incorrect constantly? What could possibly go wrong by making that the ONLY way to look for things going forward. Fucking morons.

Hang on I’ll edit my comment in a second with an explanation.

Copied from my comment in a different thread about this (with typo corrections):

"Many years ago he paid like 5 bucks on fiver to see if some Indian guys would write “heil Hitler” on a sign and hold it up for a video (they did). He was doing stupid edgy humor and playing with fire like many creators at the time. Many people canceled him “fully” a year or so after that when he had the “bridge incident”. He called someone the n word for camping or something while he was playing PUBG. He apologized and took responsibility for using the word…sorta. He continued to make content for a few more years and then he “retired” in Japan with his wife and child. They post update videos every few months but more or less he got his bag and dipped out after he pulled too many stupid moves and was seen as “toxic” to work with.

I don’t think he’s a bad person, but that’s just as someone who occasionally watched his videos over the years."

I am by no means a big PewDiePie fan/expert and I don’t claim to know all the specifics, but this is what I gathered from being on YouTube often from the beginning and having two little brothers who went through a PewDiePie phase.

What makes you think we had a library that had a video game section if I said we lived in the middle of nowhere and an hour away from the nearest video game store?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the closest library to our old house up there just figured out how to install windows XP on their systems.
