funfact

So, checking out Tubi and seems you can block the adverts from showing 😉

Watching it via browser so, browser extensions(stops tracking), VPN, and custom DNS filters I had set-up already seems to be blocking all ads from being shown

When an ad is meant to show the screen goes black for less than a second then whatever I have on resumes

Win, win

Muhahahahaha Murdoch 😆

Andre the clueless

@process that is also why Musk is removing the like counts so reports like that BBC one will be harder to determine how many users liked it, viewed it, and reshared it from the initial poster

Only real way to actually view correct stats is subscription to X premium right now and that I wouldn't trust as 100℅ accurate

@danielbsmith it was a joke 😆

I wasn't being serious

So, Braverman is a horrible person and said horrible mean things

Shock horror

¯\(°_o)/¯

Yeah media wants you to outrage

😆

Like we didn't know she was a disgusting human

@process been so many reports, investigations into this now, not the election the fake sited network, doppelganger operation was probably the most in depth and ongoing one into fake, as well as replicate sites

That was first I posted about it back in 2021

In addition, Ghost's ActivityPub GitHub repository is now fully open source.

That means those interested in tracking Ghost's progress toward federation can follow its code changes in real time

Ik I forgot the screenshot in my post 😆 thread redo *Mulligan*

Meanwhile: #SocialMedia

After teasing support for the fediverse earlier this year, the newsletter platform and Substack rival Ghost has finally delivered.(threads screenshot)

"Over the past few days, Ghost says it has achieved two major milestones in its move to become a federated service," reports TechCrunch. "Of note, it has federated its own newsletter, making it the first federated Ghost instance on the internet."

Rule 4(a big rule to keep in mind): Diversify your friend groups…
When you limit yourself to one group, you might limit yourself to the beliefs, values, and interests of that one group—as is often the case with cliques.

Remember, you are important, regardless of whether a certain person or group approves of you!

Rule 2: Love thyself.
Not only do you need to work on self-awareness, you also need to work on self-love.(it's hard work & more often than not you won't but its a must rule)

Rule 3: Respect thyself.
Knowing yourself includes knowing where you stand on certain topics and issues, even when others disagree

Rule 1: Know thyself.
When you know yourself, you’re less easily swayed by what others tell you to think or do.

Try this self-awareness exercise. Pull out a journal or your Notes app, and answer the following questions:

What do you believe in?
What do you value?
What do you enjoy?

Once you’re clear on your beliefs, your values, and your interests, you’ll have an easier time noticing when you’re being peer pressured.

Cliques are a misguided attempt to gain acceptance and influence - In other words, people see cliques as a way to gain popularity, importance, or respect.

it takes character strength and integrity to be the bigger person! It’s always better to be friendly, inclusive, and welcoming.

#JusSayin

So, what’s the difference between a group of friends and a clique?

A clique is a group of friends who don’t socialize outside of the “in-group.” That means that they leave people out on purpose

because cliques promote judgmental and bullying behaviors, members don’t feel safe revealing their own feelings. The beliefs of the clique come before the beliefs of each individual member.

Its toxic

Media shows different cliques being better than others. It furthers the stereotype that there are cliques and that some people are better than others - Cliques also can have something that psychology calls ‘group-think’ in which the people in the group don’t always do the right thing because they are afraid of going against this norm.

The problem with cliques is that sometimes people would rather risk doing the wrong thing than getting kicked out of the clique.

Only mocking those that aren't on their side is ridiculous and kinda childish like a buncha bullies in a playground picking on the kid who doesn't think like them.

Clique behavior - Cliquish behavior often involves repetition concerning activities, vernacular, preferences, and manner, resulting in conflict with other cliques, creating "outsiders."

Learn to laugh more - more importantly learn to laugh at yourself

A lot of people have forgotten to laugh

More and more it becomes obvious that some people can't just have a laugh and giggle everything is taken far to serious

Its also very obvious that they same people, when they do laugh, can only laugh at others they can't laugh at themselves or take or a joke that might be "aimed" at their political parties.
