What part of the article do you find to be untrue?

They are using comparisons that modern young people would understand. If you don't know what the "Taylor Swift effect" is, then you are not the audience for this.

But see, the thing is, I think you do know they mean. I think you know why they are making the comparison, but you're just annoyed that everyone talks about a pop star like Taylor Swift all the time. And you think it's just an example of brain rot of modern society.

So just say that. Don't be all weird and try to have examples like the author of the piece is gonna read you comments and think, "Oh my! Good points. I should really change my style of writing for the nerds on Lemmy!"

Don't worry man, before long you will have a house of your own and you can tell the kids to stay off your lawn. lol

Think about that a bit. :)

And probably his incel sentiments.

Wonder if he or members of his little group were on Lemmy

Oh wait, we can't because he very rightfully sits in jail and will be for the rest of his life. Your hero accomplished nothing.

Oh well. :)

lololol Oh I see… you’re relying on MediaBiasFactCheck to do your thinking for you.

The Daily Mail is one of the most popular and highest-traffic news sites on the planet. Pulls around 200+ million monthly visitors across its platforms and ranking as a top British newsbrand in global/US traffic lists.

Millions of people read it every day. Dismissing that as 'poor media literacy' is just elitist gatekeeping. Which I'm quite sure you base your personality on! lol

As for the stupid MediaBiasFactCheck site: it’s a small site run primarily by ONE guy (Dave Van Zandt) since 2015. Its methodology has been criticized by the Poynter Institute as 'in no way scientific,' and the ratings are subjective armchair analysis prone to the rater’s own biases.

I post stories I find interesting. If ya don't like it, I totally respect your right to block me and/or the community.

What's it like knowing that a site you hate so much, is so popular? LMAO

tl;dr: I can post whatever I want in my own community. Even if it makes you mad. Welcome to the fediverse. :)

Again, it was a meme, and not everyone is up to date on the memes, which is why you had another person ask you what it meant too.

He apologized. Headline was fine. It's a newspaper, it's what they do.

OMG Hugh Laurie issues apology for scathing drunken outburst

He did issue an apology for his drunken outburst. Is there something in the article that is inaccurate?

Meh, everyone is a snake oil peddler these days though. Buyer beware.

I can’t decide what’s sadder: people caring about a celebrity’s politics, or people acting like Gwyneth Paltrow’s opinions should matter outside a candle label. lololol

Some of us are not familiar with every meme, because we actually go outside.

I'm posting links to a news article from one of the most popular and most visited news sites in the world. You aren't forced to read it. Feel free to post your own news article links if you don't like mine.

I'll post whatever I want. Thanks!

lol

WE COME IN PEACE

Yeah, he looks really bad with that hair. He shoulda just shaved his head, grew a full beard, and went for a viking look or something.

Oh, ok, so now you think I'm that guy too. Even though I'm a woman. Ok, ok, so everyone is a dude you don't like, is that what you are saying? And you have decided to be a Lemmy police officer and bring up people that you don't like, in threads that have nothing to do with the person you don't like, to just warn us. Is that it? Warn us against what exactly?

None of the people you are talking about are banned from this community or from this instance. So how is any of that ban evading?

I don't care if the guy has 1,500 alts. If none of them are banned, it's not ban evading. You are so off topic now that I'm more convinced than ever that this is just a troll game with you. Let it go.

I don't need sock puppets to defend myself either. You are obsessed about one person, came into a community and talked about that person even tho he hasn't posted here, and isn't even banned from posting here and isn't banned from this instance. And the dude is still active and posting so he hasn't been banned from his instance either.

So it can't be counted as ban evading and why would you report it for that?

Plus it has nothing to do with the news story. So tell me how that's not you trolling and abusing the report button?

None of those names are banned in this community tho, so how would that count as trying to evade bans? And from what I am seeing, Universal Monk is still active and I see that he posted just today on lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/UniversalMonk and regularly posts. So what are you talking about him being banned?!

Your account is two days old. Two fucking days and you are reporting about people, talking about alt names. And every single post you have posted is about Universal Monk. That seems like a lot going on for someone who has had their account for two days.

Seems like you're the one with alt accounts, made to stir up trouble. I engaged with you in good faith, but now I'm thinking you're a troll. Nothing you are talking about has anything to do with this community or this instance.

I don't see anyone spreading fear uncertainty and doubt. From either user you are talking about. That was totally unworthy of a user report to, by the way. The fuck do you care if some user as an alt name? That's allowed on Lemmy. Lots of people have alt names. And neither user is banned from this community anyway. So what the fuck are you going on about?!

As for saying things will get better after people over 50 die, is a pretty lazy way to look at politics. People over 50 aren’t one giant voting bloc, and younger people aren’t automatically wiser or more moral. A lot of people over 50 fought for civil rights, women’s rights, labor rights, gay rights, environmental protections, and anti-war causes. Plenty still do. The real problem is bad leadership, money in politics, weak civic knowledge, and people of every age not paying attention.

There are more voting-age Americans under 50 than over 50, so if younger people want change, they already have the numbers to matter.
