this used to be the the only heuristic available to the general population before the internet
The important thing that changed is we now have enormous choice of sources. If dishonest actors lose out on our attention to honest actors, there's at least a mechanism in the system that rewards honesty.
I don't think the conclusion I draw from the exercise of tracing this image is that "there's at least a mechanism in the system that rewards honesty."
The fellow who first traced the fake image posted his very thorough thread within an hour or two of the fake being posted, yet I was far more likely to encounter the fake image than I was to encounter his debunking of it.
To optimism's point of not seeing the fake image on MSM: score one point for the establishment.
I took an international relations class one time, where the professor just ignored the textbook on this, and explained that "international law" isn't really a thing, and can't be for lack of an enforcement angle. It's rather a phrase that we (Americans) use to make things we don't like sound worse ("they're violating international law"), while we will always just "act in our national interest."
I don't like realpolitik, but it's just objectively the case that that's how it is. Russia uses the same rhetoric ("America is violating international law 😡") when the USA does things it doesn't like.
Personally, I would like it if states stopped treating people like children who need to be bullshitted, but I know they can't as that's foundational to their ability to function
Cash Money Carlson!
Probably his last kick as a Raider was his best kick
Also, they have 14 points with no touchdowns.
I'm also experiencing PWA error, but only when clicking notification bell.
The author claims to be a bitcoiner and former IMF banker. He or she chooses to remain anonymous. There are lots of declarative statements without much evidence. Does anyone know more about this account?
This video also shows why these people hate bitcoin conceptually, even without Trump. It literally defends KYC, AML, sanctions compliance and interestingly.. CoI (made me laugh).
But let's ask these do-gooders how they feel about comprehensive sanctions against nations and thus innocent people that happen to be born [1] in Cuba, Iran or North Korea [2]. The majority cannot get out of these systems.
Bitcoin fixes that, no matter what these lil boys say or do. No matter how many politicians they influence. No matter how many hardons for oppression they erect throughout the world.
They can come and take it.
awwww
yep it was territory subscription notifications
deploying the fix meow
There are also mechanisms to proliferate dishonesty.
I didn't say the mechanism incentivizing honesty was dominant, just that it exists. I don't think it existed before.
Mine is fine.
The PWA has an issue where it can't recover from clientside errors like this without a hard close-open.
If this persists after hard close-open then it's probably related.
I did wait for the next snap, just in case something odd happened
I think the Raiders should move on from Carroll. It was a nice idea. They thought they could bring in a veteran QB and veteran coach and compete. They didn't. Time to hire a younger coach and draft a young QB.
Whether they do that or not is questionable.
Hmm.. this used to be the the only heuristic available to the general population before the internet. And it was taken advantage of since forever. We've had some good years from the mid 90s to the mid 2010s or so when there was no answer to the loss of obscurity because CGI was expensive af, but the answer was being formed through massive false flag operations, which can now be done by anyone with a phone and an hour or so.
This is why many of us that were very active on the internet in the 90s are dismissing a lot as
false-flag, for everything. Because we've seen it happen; but this makes it hard to not be perceived like a complete loon. What I tell myself to retain sanity is that there is no truth and never has been: everything is subjective. That way, I can take a step back and not be upset all the time about things I cannot change, and focus on those that maybe I can. Even if you're working on a high risk, high reward moonshot, you can only do one of those at a time.Coming back to your image. I had 3 MSM live reporting streams on a separate laptop yesterday and the one posted on Truth Social was the only image I saw. I first thought it may be fake and I still think it may be edited. Looking at the picture quality, it also looks like a photo taken of a photo (or a deepfake). I found it interesting that someone else thought that too - an anon asked my question before I could, when bief57 said there was a fake circulating.
