more like it requires the use of an alt code, and humans aint got time for that shit in casual 'speechtype.' there's literally nothing you can say with an emdash that a well-placed semicolon (and/or a few other tools) couldn't solve with a slightly reconstructed sentence structure. if you're using them, especially repeatedly within a couple paragraphs, you're either: unusually resistant to the tedium and friction of breaking your stride to type alt 0151; writing formally; a bot. i'll give you three guesses which is most likely.
personally I've stopped using proper grammar and spelling and formal language and capitalization and whatnot as a sortof 'proof of humanity.' people who use em-dash in anything but formal writing are just self-flagging themselves as bots at this point. even in formal writing you better have yourself a robust edit log.
you get a civil war, where that money is up for grabs if you can do enough violence to the other side. with control of the formerly-federal military in the hands of the goon dissolving the piece of paper, ...
idk bro it really just seems like thoughtless cope. try therapy or smth idk
idk im at like 7 months an the only time i was able to ctrl f "pedo" in your history was when you were talking about trump (which, fair) and then again about 4chan pedophiles (which, again).
I'm sorry, I'm reading back over that message and it came off at least twice as harsh as was intended. My fury should be directed towards others and it accidentally spilled onto you. I came at you a little sideways and I regret the tone.
There is, of course, value in hearing the lies from the horse's mouth
access journalism? where you get some jerk in a chair and lob softballs to retain "access" to them? that thing? thats whats valuable? maintaining access to the people who you know for a fact are lying to you so that you can lob softballs is the valuable thing.
access journalism a bastard child: spawn of the unholy union of the media's profit motive and the accessed's desire to legitimize their message (you are invited to recall the message being legitimized in this case).
the government has means of sending its own messages. uncritical 'stenographizing' of those messages is indistinguishable from endorsement of them. if the media is being pressed into serving as propaganda outlets for the state, that should be the story, not "the white house said..." and clearly they still have some power to say these things remaining because here is tech dirt saying it.
telling someone the weather is dry when its actually wet because you want to deceive them into not carrying an umbrella has negative truth value.
a journalist doesnt prescribe, they describe. they describe the truth (which often includes reporting who is lying about what) as best they can. thats what makes them a journalist instead of an opinion-columnist. they document, record, critically analyze, and publicly journal their findings.
the only thing carrying disinformation-water for a tyrant serves as a "launching point" for is a career in propaganda.
court been sayin a lotta shit these days
