Again, be the change why don't you? It will definitely work this time. Nose to the grindstone! So you have been here for 20 years. Posting whatever random thing somebody posts on the internet for 20 years. Claim that this place has always been a cesspool. Then saying I should make an attempt to make it better? 1 1
BillsFanNC Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Just now, Mikie2times said: So you have been here for 20 years. Posting whatever random thing somebody posts on the internet for 20 years. Claim that this place has always been a cesspool. On and off. Sometimes off for months and at least once for a year plus. Also I've not always been a very prolific poster here in the cesspool, I used to post on the main board mostly. Just now, Mikie2times said: Then saying I should make an attempt to make it better? It has more to do with you griping about the way this place is like so many have before through the years. It's a gripe as old as PPP itself. You should also know that SDS, the board administrator, has stated that he regrets ever allowing this place to exist on his board in the first place. So I suggest it as a tongue firmly planted in cheek suggestion. This place will remain the same as it ever was and will only change if the day ever comes when SDS decides to 86 it.
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted June 5 Posted June 5 40 minutes ago, BillsFanNC said: There are of course exceptions to every rule and leh-nerd certainly is the exception here at PPP. He's consistently and steadfastly above the mire of this cesspool. If you want some honest discussion Mikie2times I'd suggest going a round or three with lehnerd. Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen him link to X on here. Thank you--the whole X short blurbiness is aggravating more than anything. I'm luck to be able to embed a youtube link. No X (formerly Twitter) for me. 1

BillsFanNC Posted June 6 Posted June 6 16 hours ago, Mikie2times said: The these posts overwhelm every topic. If I wanted to read twitter I would go to twitter. If that's just what this place will always be so be it. Hey, you've got Finding behind you. So you've got that going for you, which is nice. You can stick with the intellectually honest back and forth of how reliable the media is and how Biden remained mentally fit for his entire term. A thousand Catturd tweets in a row doesn't begin to sniff that track record of stupidity. 1
sherpa Posted June 6 Posted June 6 I don't have a dog in this fight, but there is an observation I would make relating to these X links. Very frequently they are from people that nobody has ever heard of, and generally for good reason. The links are always in support of the poster's underlying view. The problem is that they are rarely credible and contain vies and judgements that are ridiculous, with near complete ignorance of the subjects and context of what they suggest. I only say this regarding those I have noticed on issues I think I am quite familiar with. When I read those, I frequently find myself shaking my head and being amazed at the ignorance. 1 1 1

I agree mostly, so it then becomes a question of letting posters lay out their ignorance in their own words or farm it out to those in the X sphere. What's the difference? When everyone became expert virologists and immunologists during covid changed the entire game. When morons who couldn't tell you the difference between IgG and IgM are telling you at the same time that the science is settled and must be followed is when I knew that I can declare myself to be an expert in anything at all.

What's the difference? The difference is the reader's subjective response to whether such claims are justified. There is some implied suggestion of credibility when these no names/no knowledge sources post some giant X view. A poster doesn't get that same response, and believing some ignorant goof simply because it's an X post is a really bad idea.

Is it any worse than parroting what some ignorant goof at CNN or the WH press room tells you to believe about Biden's mental health or the efficacy of the vaccine? Everyone's takes are informed by what they consume in media, X, the scientific literature etc. You're FAR better off these days being informed by X sources, actual X alternative news sources, than legacy media. And it's not even close. 1 1
BillsFanNC Posted June 6 Posted June 6 How dare anyone post X links! And often they are LINKS to actual news articles btw. Sometimes people like B man and myself are kind enough to quote the article to save those arduous clicks too. Would you have been better informed by all of legacy media telling you not to believe your lying eyes for FOUR YEARS or maybe following real journalists that you can find on X? Again, the rise of X as a news source is largely BECAUSE people grew tired of being lied to constantly by legacy media. They made their own bed. 2

Compared to traditional media that your holding to standard of absolute truth. So when traditional media lies or gets it wrong you say, SEE, Bill___ on X is more credible. Meanwhile nobody has ever looked at a single thing that user said and if it has any accuracy. Most of these posts are the equivalent of Facebook posts. They're random people's opinions. It's not news but people here post them to try to give credibility to a view. 1 2 1

And it's not even close. That's fine. I'm just saying buyer beware after reading scores of nonsense from X people who lead with opinion against zero knowledge of existing situations, any acknowledgement of the other point of view, history or current context. And no credit goes to mainstream either, but they are a bit more disciplined as there are ways to get at them if wrong. To each his own. 1

It's not as if it's not easy for anyone to distinguish between X posts that are individual opinions and those that are news articles that you can dig deeper into. And guardrails? 😂 You're talking about guardrails as if the legacy media didn't nuke those same guardrails, grind them up and spit on it's grave. 1
