You keep ignoring my point to extrude a lot of words.
People assess what people say in part based on the reputation of the speaker. That's it.

And I'm saying people do exactly that. They read a tabloid that says anything and they go "yeah I don't trust the enquirer" and either dismiss it, or find another source to confirm.
Surely you don't trust the factual claims of a tabloid as much as a reputable paper, or an unkempt man screaming on the street corner as much as your history professor.
Seems like most people don't really care about or understand stuff like "private platforms enshittify". Certainly not enough to be inconvenienced. People will be like "that's where the good memes are" or "that's where my video games post". Heavens forbid you miss the hot memes.
I don't know what everyone else is thinking, but to my mind people consider the source. You're more likely to believe a reputable newspaper than a tabloid, I hope.
Lol. No. The parent quote was
Criticism is not evaluated by where it comes from, but by whether it’s true or false
My response rejects "criticism is not evaluated by where it comes from" (using a colloquial sense of criticism, like if a place is good or bad). People definitely evaluate based in part on the source.
The song game. I feel like a lot of people have come up with it naturally.
One person plays a song. The next person has to then play a song with some sort of connection to it. Like, you could follow the velvet underground's "Sunday Morning" with Nirvana's "Lithium" because it has the line "Sunday morning is every day for all I care". Any connection is valid so long as the group accepts it, but I prefer lyrical ones myself.
That's it. You go around until you lose interest.
I like it as a way to share music, because to do well you typically have to actually listen with their song.
Someone from my high school died in a car crash. I wasn't close to them. People were sad about it, but aside from their name being read at graduation there wasn't much done about it.
I will continue to avoid McDonald's. Not going to break a no-meat streak for a shitty burger.
Every one of those right wing complainers are among the worst people on earth.
They never seem to complain about rich people who just live off investments and inherited wealth.
Just spent 10 minutes fooling around with fluxer via the web ui. Was able to invite a dice bot, but couldn't get it to respond. (Also it's very D&D-specific, but that's a separate complaint)
Looks so much like Discord
Right? If they had just kept windows as "fine" I probably would not have made the switch to Linux. Inertia is powerful. Now I'm full Linux time and have no regrets. Pop!_os with the kde desktop is fine
