From experience it is, mainstream Media always is about media and attention and money and control.

TikTok have people who are just people who are reporting what there finding for news to inform others, not for money, not fo views, but because they genuinely want to inform people.

It’s hard to do that on American platforms because anything they don’t like they censored heavily. Yes TikTok does too but not that extent

Capsicum it self. Peppers that don’t have it are fine but the more it has the worse it is for me. Technically not a “allergy” but it’s close enough imo.

As someone who’s allergic to peppers and how its in so fuckin much of everything now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they did this.

I get my news from people on TikTok that do it every week as a round up instead of the shitty corporate owned 24/7 kind.

Mostly seeing what laws are/will take away my ability to exist as a person and all rights associated with it.

Don’t want to be sent to slavery, err they call it prison now right?

Basically getting the upper hand in case I’m not allowed to go to certain places or exist in certain spaces.

More of a survival thing then anything else really.

Support human life’s and care about others. Usually will get you fired in America really fast.

Because all the usual comedians people mention here are toxic as fuck or have a lot of racism sexism or fucking assholes “comedy” styles.

Here’s one of my favorites that I haven’t seen ever to have any of the “make fun of minorities” jokes.

Ashley Gavin is also on TikTok and YouTube. One of the very few stand up comedians who is funny buy NOT making fun of disabled/trans/disenfranchised/etc people

Something I watched in my women empowerment group I go too on YouTube called “miss representation”

It’s a old somewhat interesting documentary but may help understand.

Wait? “Foreign bad actors”? You don’t realize that the bad actors are domestic? Through the US government? Hence the whole “china bad” narrative.

For how much people on Lemmy who thinks “China bad” it’s just as bad as reddit for domestic bad actors.

What about it was so good though? It was incredibly slow. Little to no character plot humor wasn’t even there. It felt like it was just “funny meme haha” kinda movie. Honestly curious, I do enjoy being proven wrong. And no hate on what you enjoy, I just don’t understand why people enjoy it.

Napoleon dynamite was fucking garbage and don’t think it should have ever existed. No humor and barley anything. Honestly feel like the movie rubber was better

Factorio it’s over 6000 last time I checked

Being able to feel joy/happiness. I really don’t understand or know what those things are but everyone says it’s wonderful and awesome. So It would be awesome to experience it at least once.

Your not being irrational, but paranoid but I think in a good way. Many people here don’t understand what horrible things may happen to disenfranchised people next year with Nazism 2.0 project 2025.

Good to learn and understand these things and figuring it out to help others. Wish more people looked into this. I may not know but makes me feel helpful others are looking into these things more
