Exactly who i had in my mind when i made that comment

No, he meant Jeremy’s brother Piers who has been known for years to be a follower of conspiracy theories - he was active in the anti lockdown marches for a very recent example. One of the reason’s Jeremy isn’t trusted by many people.

Yeah, that guy is a nutter. Did some anti-mask things recently, right?

Noo_Noo · 17 January 2021 15:30

Great minds or a pure coincidence? I’ll let you decide.

You should know

Could be considering the queues I’ve seen outside his place

Klopptimist:

I always love the condescending “people have told you this” line. As if everything that somebody posts here in response to me is perfectly accurate.

If you goto social media for news, you’re a fool. If you go to the Times, your a tory. Guardian socialist. We have both argued about our opinions of the BBC. Possibly means it’s well balanced though (if ridiculously left biased )

The AI might be designed to keep you hooked. Why do magazines have lovely pictures? Why did red tops used to have tits? It’s not a new concept to keep the reader hooked into whatever you’re selling as ultimately, that’s what powers the internet. Different way of doing it but using similar methods. As I explained earlier to you, TV advertising is targeted on local demographics, always has been. Now it’s AI driven but the concept is still the same.

You’ll also note that the only news source I ever link on here is from the BBC in the transfer rumours thread (granted gathered from a variety of sources) so that’s my news outlet.

Even funnier, my youtube stream is now populated with social media doom videos

Regarding your last line, people have been lunatics since the birth of human kind. It’s not a recent event, nothing really ever is. Social media may have it’s problems but the worst human atrocities (hopefully) are behind us and were very well organised way before MSN messenger and that was 30 years ago. Nazi Germany was not established on Twitter. Pretty much the worst mass mind warp and lunatic thing in history I’m sure you’ll agree.

Can’t be bothered anymore. But please do watch Social Dilemma, and we can have a conversation about social media after this.

STOP THE STEAL!!!

START THE TREASON!!!

Noo_Noo · 18 January 2021 21:52

I bet they’ve nicked the curtains, light bulbs, light switches and probably the carpets. Furniture is a given

SBYM · 18 January 2021 21:54

What does it say about me that the first thing I though of after reading your post was the below??

Noo_Noo · 18 January 2021 21:55

Completely expected, but if I tell you that you’ll say I’m gross.
