That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Whoever said that should step out of their bubble and have a look around once in awhile

Exactly

A lot of the political entries are written with a bent towards being sympathetic with leftists.

The Kyle Rittenhouse article spends a lot of time on how Rittenhouse ‘appeared in conservative media’ or ‘appeared with conservative personalities’ which is a pretty weird thing to say, if you don’t already understand the political undertones of the Kenosha riot.

When you click the article for the Kenosha riot, it’s titled ‘civil unrest in Kenosha’ and focusses a lot on what a reader would perceive as positive aims of the riot. Protesting racism and police brutality, and doesn’t focus at all on the crime, danger, guns, vandalism, arson, etc

That article mentions BLM and when you read that article it makes sure to state that BLM protests were ‘largely peaceful’ and totally misses the amount of deaths and destruction that had happened at them.

The BLM article, if written like the Rittenhouse article, should focus a fair amount in the organizations ties to Marxism, the overthrowing of capitalism and colonialism, but doesn’t.

Wikipedia articles are written and edited and maintained to push a narrative.

If you agree with the narrative, you probably like that it does this. If you disagree, you probably don’t bother reading Wikipedia very much.

The issue with sources, is that a lot of ‘sources’ for stuff like this are already heavily curated to paint a picture the editors want to put on front street.

And anything that would combat that narrative is just outright banned from the site.

A lot of citations with politically charged topics are just opinions anyway. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answer or sources on the war between Palestine and isreal, for example. But if Wikipedia editors want to push propaganda for either side over the other, all they have to do is only cite pro-Palestinian or pro-Israeli sources.

This is easily exploitable by editors for whatever narrative they choose to push.

Wikipedia is not an exhaustive gathering of all relevant information, it is a carefully curated propaganda machine for the editors.

He’s obviously a terrible human being, I think you have to be to be a wildly successful CEO.

But those are the people who are best at running companies. I wouldn’t be good at it, because I’m not a piece of shit

I don’t think James Reimer doesn’t want you to exist.

I seriously doubt you knew who James Reimer was until someone complained about him on Twitter, honestly.

Did you notice that the best hockey player in the wold was supporting you though? Because if that was the conversation you were having about this, instead of saying a couple medicocre NHL players have closed minded views, you’d probably have felt a lot happier about the situation then and now, and the league would probably still be having players do pre-skates with pride jerseys on the ice.

Who gives a fuck about what provorov thinks. Connor Mcdavid is the mother fucking GOAT

That’s not at all what they’re saying. This is the fault of the Twitter crowd who harassed the league about players who didn’t want to wear the jersey’s in warm ups.

Twitter made such a massive deal about 2-3 players not wearing the jersey and turned what was supposed to be a great thing for the lgbtq community, with hundreds of players wearing them proudly into a shit storm of negativity.

Unfortunately, this put the league in a really impossible spot. Either they allow the twitter mob to blow the situation way out of proportion with negativity surrounding these inclusivity celebrations or they would have to mandate players wear them and punish them for not wearing them.

That would likely lead to problems with the union, possible issues with the next CBA and possibly lost season(s).

What we should learn from this, I think, is to just ignore people who have dumb beliefs and celebrate the ones who have it right.

Instead of making fringe players like provorov or Reimer the entirety of the publicity and the story and amplifying them, we should be talking about the actual GOATs proudly wearing them and turning it into a positive thing for the league.

McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin, Matthews, Mackinnon, etc

Amplify the fact that the best of the best players in the world want everyone to feel included.

I feel bad for the league, they obviously wanted to do these things, they did them for years, until it turned into really really bad press for the league.

That entirely depends on your expectations of a company CEO

I can’t think of a company that wouldn’t hire someone with this kind of stock performance over 30 years.

The issue is really that consumers just keep spending money on things that they hate.

If they didnt do that, Bobby would have been gone a long long time ago

It only knows about things people talk about online. I bet it knows how trump likes his bed made, but doesn’t even know what you can do in a library

They shouldn’t allow pets in the office anyway

Are you telling me this isn’t the technology community??

Who looks at community names anyways, I’m just scrolling All like the chad I am, posting wherever I want, never reading the community rules.

The way God intended

Been on lemmy since June, never heard of this guy myself

Arrested means this shit is extremely serious. Like makes me think just straight up raping people over there.

Wtf

Of course not, but I think we should at least act as if they should.

Knowing it’s not possible, though.

My kids are in 5th, 3rd and 1st grade. I wouldn’t want them on their phones during class as they grow up.

Schools should just be one huge faraday cage. Kids have to learn to focus and pay attention.

And they need to learn the curriculum
