  • The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in USA

  • VPN usage to get around geo broadcasting is not popular in America so the most likely explanation almost certainly aligns with an explanation not involving vpn use (except hardcore fans would definitely use it)

    So I think you’re actually wrong trying to deduce stuff from those stats and the reality is simply fewer Americans care about Winter Olympics (lotta stuff going on rn not just w Super Bowl too) + more people just watch clips off YouTube and TikTok and instagram/fb

    But none of that requires a vpn

  • Yes, if it’s a necessary condition then at least Americans feel bad and there’s some hope

    Still waiting for Russians to feel bad

    And just like your defense of Russians, I’m sure if more Americans had better access to better information then even more would feel bad but we are in unprecedented era of propaganda

  • Well feeling bad about a policy is a prerequisite to stopping it so since they don’t feel bad at all and in fact want to continue hostilities your point seems moot

    Americans are subject to incredible disinformation and propaganda as well

  • The only difference is Americans feel bad about it and Russians overwhelmingly support doing the stuff Americans felt bad about

  • In 2003 an entire nato coalition thought the Iraq war was justified with only a few holdouts

    — 12 years into the Ukraine war Putin continues to enjoy an 80% approval rating

    12 years after the Iraq war began, or 4 after it ended, a majority of Americans believe it was a mistake

  • This sounds like what every almost entirely normal person thinks

  • I’m not sure propaganda has ever been more intense and widespread than it is now with ubiquitous tech addiction

  • I can’t imagine many schools will adopt Linux unless they can do enterprise management across the devices

  • Putin approval rating: 80%

    Trump approval rating: 40%

    So that would make Russian citizens twice as bad

  • That’s true winter isn’t as popular but between app subscribers and older gen with actual tv packages most will just watch it normally

    But you’re right anyone legitimately into it will seek out a vpn but that’s still a small portion of the actual watchers. Most will tolerate the sloppy coverage or if it’s really that bad just turn it off and move on with their lives

  • So what you’re saying is not many Americans heard it because most will watch it through nbc or wherever because not many people use vpns

  • Even if we removed the health effects…sitting in a wall-e chair chugging Alfredo sauce is being irreparably damaged in body and mind

    You can also just do that already by staring at your phone all day and eating processed food

    Jump

  • Are you sure you’re not confusing what a want is with something that you don’t want?

    For example you actually don’t want a wall-e chair because you would never actually accept one. Similarly, you don’t actually want a 20-liter bucket of fettuccine Alfredo because, again, you would never accept it.

    A want is something you’d actually like to have so if you wouldn’t accept it that sounds like something you don’t want to have…

  • lol professions often require you constantly be reviewing and keeping up to date with meaningful changes in the field

    Real life may actually require you to keep on learning 🫨

    I swear it feels like people genuinely want the wall-e chairs
