It definitely looks like a most wanted photo from that age.

For some reason it's making me think of the old PC game SWAT 2. I think they had mug shots for the terrorist side?

I work with blue collar people. Vast majority of them definitely have no idea who Murdoch is. Those same people don't know the bias of the wsj or probably what the New York post is.

Some of them vote. They never ever check sources or try to understand forces behind it.

It's fun though seeing how talking points get filtered down through sources they see.

I had forgotten they did that. I know they're evil but it shocks me again

Did anyone else get in school suspension? That seems incredibly harsh.

I got a detention in elementary school because my mom made me late too many times. I wasn't even old enough to walk to school yet so it had to be 1st or 2nd grade. I was very confused and sad that day.

I don't remember what my mom said or even if I mentioned it to her. I wish I knew my teachers reasoning even if it was bullshit.

I understand nostalgia for commercials but every time I've watched anything with ads (streaming or live tv) it's absolutely awful to watch now. Maybe it was because it was all I knew as a kid but I cannot stand ads breaking up shows anymore.

I don't watch much tv anymore anyway

I heard about it from my coworker today. I don't know what app he was on but he's a low information/conspiracy guy so not the type to be on anything super anti trump/current administration.

His actual politics are a mess but he believes trump is in it. He's pretty much anti government with much thought behind why. I've had some long conversations with him and he's not unreasonable. I think I turned him a little around on how having two people who love each other on tv is okay even if they're the same sex

As in talking shit about reddit or ripping off content from reddit?

I know what you typed but autocorrect could have changed your "on" to "off". I see a lot of reddit bashing here (to be expected in my opinion) but I don't go to Reddit anymore so I don't know if most stuff here are just reposts

I have a roommate that watches YouTube like that. He was out of work for a long time and basically watched YouTube all day. I saw him finish videos and click on a recommended one.

Naturally he'll say the craziest shit sometimes but most people around us are the same. It really sucks and I can't wait to move out of this living situation.
