I really appreciate what EvilLore is doing here regarding the no politics policy.

Does anyone know if some magical browser extension that can accomplish something similar with other sites like reddit/youtube/etc... (?)

Blocking the keyword "elections" is too much brute forcing, anything good out there?

Probs would have to make ur own html extensions. Chat gpt could help with it.

Why is there a T-1000 in the bottom left? Or is that Baraka?

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Prolly a hybrid and hence not sure yet where his alliance lies perhaps.

Just don't go to Reddit, problem solved

If you're getting a lot of political videos on Youtube that's because you literally watch a lot of political videos and the algorithm knows it and is giving you more

I only get gaming and cooking videos. Training your algorithm is hard work, but it cashes out in the end.

It can also be he is getting them because algorithm sees increased traction on these videos, and acts to maximise engagement.

You guys watch recommended videos on youtube? Insanity. I have history disabled and only watch stuff im subbed to.

Last night I scrolled down my zero politics YouTube and the “Trending” section was constant “Harris wins” videos, “Polls show Democrat victory” over and over. It was bizarre election interference. Haven’t viewed it again yet today.

I'm not exactly proud that I've edited this tweet multiple times in my life but here we are:

Go to the pub. Have a nice cold pint and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

 

[V1LÆM]

For reddit I think you could use RES on old.reddit but I don't know if it still works

 

[Complistic]

There we go.

Yes these are real posts, yes there’s many more.

Baraka always wins. Slice n dice.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Also can't wait for this election session to end, I'm so tried of the ads. I block most ads on my devices but I still get blasted when my wife watches live TV, or the recipionist at work listens to the radio.

Hoping agaist hope that the end of the election season would bring down the politics in the gaming forum too.

 

[AJUMP23]

Go vote, prepare for the lawsuits.

Same.

Although The Cockatrice makes a good point seeing the rec's algo loop is very small.

History on. Always see something, play it for 4 seconds and watch it when I feel like it

I'm actually praying for you, America. I truly am. If it's any consolation I'll be watching tonight from the UK, with gritted teeth

I don't think sane people in your country can take four more years of this

I don't think the world can. We're utterly boned in the UK so I can only hope you come out of this hole, somehow

 

[Dynasty8]

Reddit has become insufferable in the last few months. Can't wait for this election to be over to be honest.

 

[DeafTourette]

I wish I could do that but my small town closed down the only pub we had. Otherwise I'd have to go to the casino to even get a pint ...

 

[Krathoon]

People are having election anxiety because it is so damn nuts this year.

 

[Krathoon]

Where I live, we have been having a gigantic amount of rain. So, everything is extra crappy.

 

[Walter Matthau]

My reddit feed is free of politics. I think I managed to avoid clicking into those sort of things for so long that the algorithm knows I'm not interested.

 

[TheCed]

This election result will have a major impact on where I work. (Finances in Canada)

So yeah, I'm nervous because this will deeply impact us.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

I moved back to my hometown. I posted about it back in August.

Who 's in the lead so far? Biden?

 

[IntentionalPun]

All I know is Trump ads last night during Monday Nighy Football convinced me not to vote for Joe Biden.

LOL.

Americans are nuts when it comes to politics.

It's shit like this that reminds me why politics were banned from this forum. I personally love talking about politics, but the truth is a lot of people are not mature enough to discuss or understand the subject.

Edit

Just checked out the latest blog post from George RR Martin. It's on the same level as those Era posts. The guy has lost it.

For the past 80's years Americans have been ask to choose between which pile of shit will make a better world.

The final vote taking place as the Sun's apparent position reaches Alpha Librae in the constellation Libra at the crossquarter is an amazing natural astrological metaphor.
