well its been a while since epstein was imprisoned and YOU still don’t believe her. Doesn’t that vindicate her position?

is the rest of my translation correct?
- Comment on Virginia Giuffre thought she might 'die a sex slave' at hands of Epstein and his circle, memoir reveals 1 week ago:
believe what? That he was convicted or that sexual exploitation continues because of the power difference between the perpetrator and the victim and hence they may not find courage to step forward for fear of backlash from ignorant people?

I know i sound like a doomer but…
maybe the bubble is about to burst and this is just panic diversification of assets? it sure is funny to attribute it to that.

if that’s how you choose to use it… well i got news for you.
Epstein was a well connected powerful man. Nobody would believe them. Heck, You still refuse to believe her even after epstein was killed in his prison cell where he was put after being convicted of being a sex trafficker alongside glislaine maxwell.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t get that vibe from the parent comment. the reaction was to the motivations of the rich fatcats who aren’t happy with the obscene wealth they already have. Not American Exceptionalism.

the liberals need to understand that too and stop being fascists.
- Comment on Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer 1 month ago:
“not forced to use them”
This ignores obnoxious hurdles in place to make the free tier as shitty as possible so people buy.
“cover your own ass for mistakes” Well can you personally guarantee that these asshats won’t create traps and gotcha’s along the way?

We have reached a point in reality where I believe Tolkien’s “Evil will defeat itself” when even Trump supporters are swept up by the consequences of their voting choices.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 2 months ago:
the “Socialism” is in quotes as were aren’t really talking about actual socialism. Its now a boogeyman dogwhistle used by rich people to steal public property and convert it into private capital.

- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 3 months ago:
thats a dishonest argument. One has a money assembly line straight to a billionaire’s house. The other’s assembly line that has a possibility to be used for public good.
- Comment on YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead 3 months ago:
it may not seem like it but… being offline is the best thing you can do to your mental health. No need to overwhelm your brain with stuff happening elsewhere when you already have to deal with stuff closer to home. Being aware is generally better than being ignorant but it shouldn’t disable your daily life.
- Comment on YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead 3 months ago:
its a paid platform where engagement (i.e bickering in the comments section) is near absent. And the content is allowed to address themes that make main stream media blush.
- Comment on YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead 3 months ago:
taking a guess but I already saw some other comments on another thread mention this: The chart boys in any corps will see Engagement == Profit. Thus they will tune their recommendations solely for that. And if you aren’t bothered about properly policing your video upload platform the end result is highly divisive content thats “not boring”.
Divisive content makes people angry so they engage in comments.
i used to be on reddit. And I used to get into “debates” that devolved into a slap fight and make me angry about the people who intentionally or unintentionally riled me up with outrageous (real or my own perception) opinions.
While lemmy also has slap fights, I feel like the lack of an “algorithm” tuned for engagement prevents continuous fueling of the fire, metaphorically speaking.
- Comment on People angry that Superman represents kindness are outright admitting that they don't want to be good people 3 months ago:
yes way. I have seen it with my own father. And the saddest part is they got this from religious rightwing media and have never ever interacted or had an opportunity to interact with the out-group that they are told to fear. Oh and, I am not from the 1st world. This shit is everywhere.

- Comment on Do you trust Xi with your 'private' browsing data? Apple and Google app stores still offer China-based VPNs. 4 months ago:
Sure yeah I could be wrong. If America scares them more than China it’s a major turning point because they are European.
What I initially got from their comment: They are more concerned about actually real threats in their life like Google, Meta, or Apple which are American and are probably what they are using at work and outside of work given they live in Europe. They are less concerned about china because they don’t use chinese phones daily or hangout in weChat (I hope).
Where I can of course be wrong about this: They are actually using Tiktok and don’t care about the possible spying. They could be using chinese tech and simply not know. main concern is if they are on some tech stack at work or their ISP has equipment from chinese companies known to phone home.
- Comment on Do you trust Xi with your 'private' browsing data? Apple and Google app stores still offer China-based VPNs. 4 months ago:
thats not what they said did they? they said they are more concerned about American companies harvesting their data as they live in Europe and don’t have as much affinity to China.
