confirmation bias

TDS confirmation bias is off the charts these days. The TDS-afflicted desperately look for the slightest hint of "racism" and "fascism" to confirm their hate, and are utterly blind to the extreme racism of the left, and the violent intolerance of free speech by the left.

To see the truth would utterly upend their carefully constructed false reality.

It must be a difficult way to live, given that actual reality is so far removed from their beliefs. A think a lot of their hate is driven by the fear of admitting that they have been so very wrong for years.

Oh what happened with yelp and twitter lately? Sorry I haven’t paid attention to them lately.

@Fortwaynemobile - Yelp will now label some businesses as "raycist" based on user comments - I wonder how well that will go over...

Holy shit, that’s racketeering. Can you link me one as example?

Yelp and its congeners are extortion and blackmail libel rackets operating under color of Constitutional speech protection and consumer education.

People seem to be paying less attention to them as time goes on, but the anonymous begrudged (usually over common deadbeat billing matters or minor consumer gripes) have a field day there trashing at will, and then, the site comes to you to solicit paid 'advertising' which enables you to control your content. At least that's how it worked a while ago.

@Fortwaynemobile,

https://blog.yelp.com/2020/10/new-consumer-alert-on-yelp-takes-firm-stance-against-racism

From the horses' mouth, as they say. Not using Yelp at all from now.

Businesses have complained about yelp since the very beginning. Bad reviews show up, and then yelp calls them and offers various benefits of their premium services, which in
ways will help make those bad reviews, or the impact of them, go away. They word things carefully, but at the end of the day, you pay $$$ and your bad reputation gets diminished.

So ya, they've been accused of cleverly disguised extortion and racketeering for a lonnnng time.

This new racism alert is likely the next chapter. It will start out looking like they have no profit motives, just virtuous "social justice" by being "good stewards of their platform". But in time, after they've established this publication of these accusations of racism as being normal in society, some profit angle will probably emerge. And their users get to feel virtuous in the mean time when negotiating where they should have lunch w/ friends - "oh, yelp said TexasBigBBQ might be racist. Can we go to SoyFactory instead?"

Then again, this really might just be hostile leftists blackmailing yelp execs into doing this by accusing them of not doing enough to fight racism. I could see "You have the platform, if you refuse to use it for the force of good, you must be a racist too!!! Silence is violence!!"

We should ask yelp if they're willing to tag and warn users of businesses that have pedo employees?

Label any vegetarian / organic / soy factory as racist.

Does Yelp allow Yelp to be reported as racist for being obsessed with race?

But his rhetoric is literally fomenting rage in this country that’s not going away until he’s gone. Fingers crossed by end of the year.

THIS. THIS is what's causing the division. The Democrats have focused on "removing" Trump and not anything of substance. Not policy. Not what they'd do better (because they can't) They're the ones pushing the Trump narrative and dividing. I wasn't a Trump supporter, but people like you saying "fingers crossed by the of the year" are driving people into Trump camp. You're divisive.

Also, it can't be the end of the year. Inauguration is in January....

BoomAndBustCycle says

More BLM protestors have been run over by cars and shot in the face by rubber bullets

Not enough.

Lol, it's true that kamala means horrible in Finnish:

I use Yandex translate rather than Google translate because it works the same and isn't part of the Google dystopian panopticon.

I live it. Have a nephew with a deadbeat baby daddy. The meme is 1,000% true. Taking him to St. John USVI next week. Show the kid what hard work and being there can do. He's going to have a blast. No cruise ships either, the place is gonna be a ghost town, which is awesome.

Spotted in a WalMart:

Unfortunately, the baby-mama usually wouldn't know the father either! :)
It is one thing to hold a "father" accountable if he was married to the lady (society has an interest and both parties agreed to this implicitly with a marriage), but quite another for a single woman to let (and yes - that is actually how this works) herself get pregnant so she can grab the "daddy" money that she needs so she doesn't have to work. And as always the "male" has no choice in the matter. How odd that, at the end of the day, society forces the male to take responsibility when the choice to abort/put-up-for-adoption is not "his." It is a bizarre - we reward women for basically trapping the male.
