I can tell from this, you either haven’t watched All Jazeera or you’re so biased against it, that you hate it and won’t consider it in a balanced manner. Somewhat ironic, I’d say.

Fox News is made up tripe. Alternative facts with little regard for truth. AJ is well thought out and researched content. Yes, it has its biases, but most news does.

I included both RT and BBC. The latter is very credible, the first is not. The point was about bias, not credibility.

Bias is a fact. There is no unbiased news sites. They are there to get clicks SBD engagement. They all look for an angle and have editorial influence on the slant of articles, titles etc. Every word is written with intention and academic works is the opposite of news content. Boring, and unengaging, but higher quality and generally less biased.

I will say, if you are confident in your knowledge and opinions. Watch conflicting information, and challenge your views. If you are less secure in your knowledge, it’s probably better sticking with the stuff that reinforces your conformational bias.

That’s a long way of saying it may have biases in favour of Qatar, like Voice of America etc for USA, BBC for the British, RT for Russia.

All media is biased and its important to know their biases. It doesn’t stop some of their content being very good on Palestine, Africa etc. It’s informative and highlights stuff ignored by the West and their interests. The fact Saudi and Egypt oppose it as Western Allies who work with Israel is unsurprising. Hacking up people in embassies doesn’t make you the voice of impartiality.

Never consume only one source and be aware that consuming only Western media is choosing to digest Western Propaganda.

For reference, I’m from the UK and my media is pro Israel and it covers up terrorist activities of the IDF. Activities supported by my government who sell them arms. I’m happy for mine and Western, pro-Western governments to be held to account. Shitty activities happen on both sides and there is no good and bad guys. Just various levels of crimes against human beings.

For the record, Israel has killed more women and children in the aims of their domestic interests. The people you consider good folk aren’t. Likewise the groups fighting Israel do nasty things also and we should hold them to account.

They do say it is the lowest form of wit.

Not everyone speaks English as a first language here. What is obvious to you, isn’t obvious to everyone.

Playing devils advocate. Lemmy isn’t reddit and the only reason people used old reddit was because new reddit was unusable to them.

As with new context and new front ends that Lemmy has, no one with the technical skills seems to care about this enough and blaming Lemmy Devs for not tiptoeing around unmaintained software so development grinds to a halt isn’t fair. It’s like saying “they don’t want to support it, and I don’t, but you shouldn’t spend your free time doing so”.

I thought the point of the right to bear arms was about freedom. If you need consent from a sheriff and it’s based on their feelings, it’s giving them freedom to take rights away.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a US citizen and guns are banned here, but the main reason for it seems to be playing out, and taking those freedoms away could be massively dangerous. More so than the threat of gun violence right now. How could any opposition defend themselves being shipped off to El Salvador en masse if a secretary of state things you contradict foreign policy goals?

Looks like legally, officials have free reign to decide who is and isn’t in line with “foreign policy goals”.

I naively thought US legal system would have checks and due diligence. How wrong I was.

Oh how convenient. Without that knowledge they cannot fact check marketing claims from SpaceX. If they need something done, they can write SpaceX a blank check. Now that is Efficiency…

I wouldn’t say game. Games are fun. Tech demo or simulation maybe.

Box missions still bugged? Flying out the aircraft? Not completing? Dying while running?

I played a few years ago and refunded because even basic gameplay loops were bugged to non functional. It didn’t feel pretty fun. Ended up playing No Man’s Sky which was functional and fun.

Probably keen to represent GSK, AstraZeneca and financial services companies. Though to hell with the rest of us.

Looks like it was made for a subreddit. Stockholm Syndrome.

Most car parks push to app and don’t accept cash. Some don’t even take card. It’s a core payment method for them because they don’t want to pay staff to empty them.

Fair points. Appreciate the references.

Deflation doesn’t always follow inflation. Most countries fear it as it could spark recession. UK for example always aims for 2%, not 0%. It didn’t help that Opec limited oil supply to keep price high.

In the UK, we didn’t have stimulus check, but had inflation close to 10%, many countries in the EU too so the conclusion it was the money supply doesn’t hold up.

But the cost of oil increased and therefore the cost of producing anything using electricity or shipping items so it wasn’t like it created some massive surplus of money supply. Increased costs was the biggest driver of price rises in recent year and available money generally bought less than before.

So price went up 5 times and halved? Isn’t it still up by a lot? Weird misleading headlines.

No. It’s a plan to pull working class to voting against their class interests. It’s a conveyer into right wing voting.

Hopefully an influential free speech absolutist will step in now…

holds breath

Why are racist slurs on Lemmy? This isn’t Reddit or Xitter.
