  • To be clear here, I actively hate what Tucker does. He’s a symptom of a great sickness to society that causes more harm then anything else.

    The only part of this that is Carlsons fault is that he took the interview and went to Russia. There’s no other way this would have played out when a reporter does an interview of Putin. Carlson was likely in that room with nothing but Russian agents who let him know exactly what was going to happen before the interview.

    Anything else could have easily resulted in Carlson never coming home.



  • Beehaw is hardly and echo chamber. Generally defederation is done because of significant trolling or other negative behavior from an instance, not a disagreement with a philosophy.

    I think an excellent example of how Beehaw allows opposing opinions is that you and I, who clearly disagree, are still able to talk about it.

    The thing we want at Beehaw is respectful discourse. So long as neither party is insulting the other and conversation is productive it doesn’t matter if the opinions differ.

    That said, I myself would probably not follow Beehaw off of ActivityPub. I prefer the content on Beehaw to most of the content in the fediverse, but I don’t want to maintain multiple accounts and Beehaw would definitely have less content if it moved off of the fediverse.




  • I didn’t think there’s anything wrong with using a domino. Not every channel explains that you can use a dowel jig.

    A real problem in DIY video is treating materials cost as the only cost to taking on a project. I’ve definitely seen at a bunch of them demonstrate doing a project in a way that requires a certain tool without explaining alternatives. I’ve seen many videos that get a job done for under 50 dollars because they have a full shop on hand.



  • I think an important factor is how the host treats the misinformation. If they push back on it, you know they aren’t inviting those people due to agreement.

    Real time with Bill Maher has people of all sorts of perspectives on but he usually actively debates against positions he disagrees with.

    There’s lots of valid criticism of the guy but he at least tries to his ability to present a fair argument.

    If you don’t feel like misinformation is being called out on that site then it may be questionable. Don’t shy away from a content creator just for having questionable guests. Turn them off because you don’t like how they handle those guests.


  • The only red flags in a real relationship are how you treat the other person and yourself. Don’t put dating on a pedestal. It’s just 2 people hanging out and getting to know one another.

    It’s not the same for everybody. Some people find lots of success with apps. Others meet people at social events. Some meet at work. Just be yourself around people and pay attention to who you jive with on a personal level.

    Weight shouldn’t be a problem. The reality is that everybody has things they are attracted to and for some people weight can be a factor. Only loose weight for your own happiness, though. Don’t do it to attract a partner because that’s not a good way to maintain a lifestyle change and your own happiness is paramount with changes like that.
