You certainly convince me much more than when you dismissed the information simply because you saw Tucker as a source, without seeing that there are others.

Point taken. I appreciate your willingness to look at the facts.

There is one thing to qualify here. One thing is for a company to advertise in your newspaper/television, etc. but another different matter is that : "revenue from China was an integral part of the Times’s business model. The paper received millions of dollars from Chinese government-controlled outlets,"

It's too broad and vague, sounds almost deliberately made to sound more ominous than it is. What does "millions of dollars" mean? What percentage of NYT's total revenue it was? How big were those ad buys compared to other advertisers?

NYT's revenue was ~$2 billion in 2012, and ~$1.8 billion in 2020.

Painting it as "kill people you don't like murderous BS" ignorantly misses the point. I thought coiners were smarter than that.

You can paint it in pink and pretend it's a fucking unicorn but threatening to kill people is not cool, and posting about it on intertubes is terminally stupid. I bet most "coiners" are smart enough to realize this, particularly if they intend to stick around to enjoy blow and hookers their coins.

But hey, free speech is great for exposing morons like that so - yay.

Well, it's not so much a vaccine link but more of a "kill people you don't like" murderous BS. I must apologize for calling this twat "another nutcase", it's a whole new level of batshittery.

$500 Trillion Lawsuit against the FEDERAL GOVT

Yeah... I don't think that's how lawsuits work. You can't do it by posting a video online. You need a real lawyer and go to a real courthouse and actually have a real complaint and not some deluded ramblings.
2646  Other / Politics & Society / Re: CNN FIRES 3 STAFF FOR COVID-19 VACCINATION on: August 07, 2021, 03:31:54 PM
It's not actually an abuse of "human rights", although I think it is a bit stupid. United Airlines also recently announced that they would force vaccination on over 60k employees, perfectly within their right. Normally I would refrain from judgement because I don't care if private companies want be paranoid about a Covid outbreak affecting their business, but it would make sense to me if vaccinations were required amongst people that deal with ill immunocompromised people, like hospital workers. In France, they've mandated healthcare workers get vaxed. No problem with that.

CNN, though, a bit odd. Last time I checked, CNN wasn't in the business of taking care of the immunocompromised. Maybe those sacked employees can join Fox  Wink

I'm sure CNN has immunocompromised employees and while it's not "in the business" of taking care of them, it's generally considered a good business practice to protect your employees. Like not allowing to smoke indoors for example.

It gets even more complicated when business deals with all sorts of customers, like the airlines you mentioned. Would be very bad for business if an outbreak starts with an unvaccinated employee.
2647  Other / Meta / Re: Is there discrimination in the forum on: August 07, 2021, 12:05:09 PM
I would like to ask, is there such a statement or discrimination circulating in the forum?I’m not sure if there is a certain unspoken rule for a certain nation, a certain culture.Please let me know if so.

People saying mean things to you or about you isn't really discrimination. You can still say your thing and even be mean to others if you think that's needed to counter the other mean users (usually it isn't).

Discrimination IMO would be e.g. moderators deleting posts of certain groups of users based entirely on who those users are and not on whether they break the rules. I don't think that's happening.

Also keep in mind that personal attacks are typically against the rules (off topic, low value posts) so if someone posts something that is entirely targeted at you and not at the topic of the thread - you can report it to moderators. However if the post is only partially off topic, it will likely stay. This is where the "Ignore" feature comes in handy.

At least you're being honest. But you're still not gonna get a loan here. And let's face it, you don't want a loan. You didn't even post the requested amount, interest, term, etc - none of the attributes of the supposed loan request. You're just trolling here as usual.

Mighty ironic seeing this complaint from someone polluting P&S with a shitload of deluded spam and borderline death threats.

My opinion is that if you're too much of a snowflake to deal with one line of text, maybe the internet is not for you.

Make no mistake, this is a backdoor Bitcoin ban.

Compliance is impossible. Their intent is to criminalize full nodes, lightning nodes, and most Bitcoin wallets.

https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1423471937318129668

... it appears that the Democrats have gone full nazi, now championing effectively what is a BITCOIN BAN in the USSA

... hope all you leftie coiners here are happy with your choice of jackboot, at least now we can see the colour of the jackboots that will stomp on the throat of bitcoin so we know who to shoot back at

Of the five senators mentioned in the tweet, 3 are Republican. Just so you know who's stealing your bitcoins instead of trusting the over-excited marcus here.

The difference is that they were published as news, and not as ads. When you publish a paid article, you should put "sponsored by" or "paid promotion" or things like that that make it clear that this is not objective journalism but that you are advertising for the institution who pays you.

Again, you're jumping to Tucker's conclusions without even trying to verify what he's saying. The one example he provided was published as an ad:

Quote
China has published an expensive, two-page color advertisement in a prominent U.S. newspaper, defending its claim to disputed islands in the East China Sea.

Chinese state-owned newspaper China Daily has this two page advert in today's New York Times.

Here is an image where you can see that it's labeled as "advertisement":

Venezuela will slash 6 zeros from it's fiat currency in a revaluation that divides nominal value by 1 million

Barely 3 years after getting rid of 5 zeros.

The infrastructure bill has draconian kyc provisions on crypto.  Several senators propose an amendment to the bill.  Contact your own senator soonest.

I was going to post this last night but decided to do it today, glad you did. Smiley

Is this one of those things they are trying to tack on to kill the bill or just a sneak attack?

It's one of those things they put in so that they can pretend the bill is "paid for", in this case this provision is supposed to bring in $28 billion in taxes or some shit like that.

That's a garbage argument you made up. At no time have I ever said that.

Several major U.S. newspapers, such as Los Angeles Times, or New York Times were paid millions of dollars from the Chinese government to publish pro-China propaganda and conceal the origin of COVID in the Wuhan laboratories.

There were ads. There is no evidence that the newspapers were paid to "conceal the origin of COVID". You are (or Tucker is) making the leap from ads to other content being paid for. They give one actual example from 2012, about disputed islands.

Again. Since you don't feel like attending to information that doesn't agree with your political ideology, you don't read and make up crap fallacies like that. The links I posted talk about 5 newspapers and Twitter.  

How about you attend to actual facts instead of attacking what you perceive as my political ideology. Media being "bought" is useless clickbait. Fox runs ads too. I wouldn't claim it's bought by China because it ran a Volvo ad at some point.
2657  Other / Politics & Society / Re: U.S. media bought by China on: August 05, 2021, 02:06:24 PM
Your "source" is Tucker? Grin

There are two huge leaps in this whole thing, both unsupported by any evidence that I can see:

  • NYT published ads from China. Therefore all content (or at least the parts that Tucker doesn't like) is from China.
  • NYT published ads from China. Therefore all media was bought by China.

DENVER (AP) — A federal magistrate on Wednesday levied penalties against two Colorado attorneys for filing a class-action lawsuit that alleged the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump.

The now-dismissed suit relied on baseless conspiracy theories spread by the former president and his supporters. It named elected officials in four swing states, Facebook, the company’s founder Mark Zuckerberg and Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, whose election machines were at the center of some of the most fevered speculation.

Magistrate Judge N. Reid Nureiter ruled that the two attorneys who filed the lawsuit must pay the legal fees of the defendants.

“The lawsuit put into or repeated into the public record highly inflammatory and damaging allegations that could have put individuals’ safety in danger,” Nureiter wrote, noting the Jan. 6 insurrection was spurred by the lies it repeated, as were threats against election and Dominion officials. “Doing so without a valid legal basis or serious independent personal investigation into the facts was the height of recklessness.”

I mean who could have thought that filing frivolous lawsuits could backfire. Shocking.

Y’all are blinded by hate, ALL over that piece of shit extortionist lauda, LOL..

Those coattails of hate trail long into the past and likely forever into the future..
Such divide, many enemy..

Due diligence is not hate. No one can prevent you or anyone else from believing lying sockpuppeting sociopaths, or adding them to your trust list, or whatever. But thanks to nutildah exposing Quicksy's alt, you can do it as an informed decision - much better than acting on emotions like hate or justifying those decisions with straw man arguments.
