The vast majority of the population are NPCs awaiting their automatic firmware updates. You sound like you're fully up to date, godspeed.

I haven't seen someone use "NPCs" unironically in this context since...2018? I thought it was just used now to make fun of how unoriginal the right is. Do you still say "cuck" too?!

Also probably believes in "wokists" and "cancel culture". All manner of dumbed down newspeak that is very characteristic of fascists.

I wish I had any kind of celebrity in the right wing. Like Jason Miller will probably be set for retirement off of this one stunt, maybe he can even write a book and go on tour. People from these circles basically have a direct line to the wallet of most people over 50 in America; anyone have ideas for how we can get in on this hustle?

It's not like what right wing celebrities are doing is a secret. One could imitate them, but I'm sure the current celebrities will not enjoy the competition. Begin by maybe getting the domain name "squeeeeeelreport.com", installing Wordpress, put some Christian and American flag paraphernalia up there as well. Then repost articles but comment on it as though you were one of them. Don't forget to pepper each post titl…

The part you're missing is claiming to have insider anonymous sources (see also left wing "sources familiar with the thinking of [subject]") who will release the information to us either at the perfect time in the future, or through an encrypted "drop" in "the block chain"

Summary of the allegation for anyone who doesn't want to click: >The court filing in question stated that Delgado had been informed that Miller had an affair with a “Jane Doe”; that this other woman became pregnant; that shortly thereafter, Miller visited the woman’s apartment with a smoothie; and that unbeknownst to Jane Doe, the smoothie contained an abortion pill, which induced an abortion. >Krueger’s article read…

ah, so he's a real republican. Holier than thou in public, worse than the devil in private.

I'm not a Republican, but 1) that doesn't seem relevant and just seems like needlessly injected political vitriol, and 2) there's no shortage of either Democrats or Republicans who fit that category.

> The app, which is in beta testing, appears in the Apple App Store and is described as “a non-bias social network for people all over the world.” Reminds me of this koan: In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6. “What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, a…

Side note, but what's with the trend of people saying/spelling "biased" as "bias"? Is it just because the "-sed" in "biased" kind of blends together when pronounced / is awkward to clearly separate, so eventually some people just think that's what the word is? (I know a lot of words across many/all languages develop that way, so not really complaining, but when you're in the midst of it it feels a bit weird.)

The use of the word "bias" as an adjective there is technically incorrect. I've only seen it just now in the phrase "non-bias social network" - but I hope it does not catch on.

> Bias vs. Biased

> In recent years, we have seen more evidence of the adjectival bias in constructions like “a bias news program” instead of the more usual “a biased news program.”

> The reason is likely because of aural confusion: the -ed of biased may be filtered out by hearers, which means that bias and biased can sound similar in the context of normal speech.

> They are not interchangeable, however. The adjective that means “exhibited or characterized by an unreasoned judgment” is biased (“a biased news story”). There is an adjective bias, but it means “diagonal” and is used only of fabrics (“a bias cut across the fabric”).

It's pretty easy, just drop any hangups you have about blatantly lying to people and go for it.

Ah, interesting; didn't know about that particular definition.
