I can finally remove these from my mutes ?
“Political leaders believe that the views they encounter online are representative of the “general public.” They’re not.”
“Mean world syndrome is a term coined by George Gerbner to describe a phenomenon whereby violence-related content of mass media makes viewers believe that the world is more dangerous than it actually is. Mean world syndrome is one of the main conclusions of cultivation theory. Gerbner, a pioneer researcher on the effects of television on society, argued that people who watch television tended to think of the world as an intimidating and unforgiving place. A direct correlation between the amount of television one watches and the amount of fear one harbors about the world has been proven, although the direction of causality remains debatable in that persons fearful of the world may be more likely to retreat from it and in turn spend more time with indoor, solitary activities such as television watching.”
“An Amazon-owned firm is hiring editors to push local crime news to its users.”
“A key concept I’ve embraced for the new, breakneck release pace of GW games is “Not everything has to be for you.” Warhammer Underworlds? Not my bag. Wrath and Rapture? Not my armies. Necromunda? Realistically, my local scene can’t sustain the type of campaign Necromunda really needs.”
The “Silent Assassin/Suit Only” (SASO) run through Whittleton Creek, in Hitman 2, has been the most frustrating in the game yet. I’ve tried my own strategy, and following the guide below, but there always seems to be something that goes wrong in each attempt.
With the recent change in ownership, I’ve been wondering if Flickr could become a viable alternative to Instagram for photo sharing (again)? I have a nostalgic view of Flickr, even though I haven’t used it in years. I closed my account, but I’d like to see them do well, and could be convinced to sign up.
As much as I’d love for people to be using their own site/domain, many (most?) don’t want that hassle – so a good service app will be their go-to.
As an aside, I need to get back in the habit of posting photos on this site. I haven’t really been taking pictures with the intent to share over the last couple of months, but one or two have ended up on social media regardless.
Reposting: The Mary Sue on Twitter
Glad to see that we are trending on Twitter! We here at the Mary Sue are so happy you're reading us and that this has nothing to do with men diminishing the importance of a female character who trained for something through over 7 seasons of a television show.
“Look, I know the internet is dark and full of terrors if you’re not up to date on your favorite bits of pop culture. I should know better than to think I can completely avoid the zeitgeist around Avengers: Endgame and the latest season of Game of Thrones. But for years, I’ve done just fine staying …”
I’ve had the exact same issue over the last several days; almost as soon as Avengers finished its first screenings, my YouTube recommendations and auto-play suggestions were filled with videos from channels I’ve never heard of talking about the film. The same happens weekly with Game of Thrones (I’m less concerned by that one being spoiled, but it’s the principle/behaviour that’s the issue).
