As branded mechandise, it makes a lot of sense. It's a piece of plastic that makes your computer look cooler. The claims that the sheet of plastic would make your computer have lower temperature seemed like snake oil. It reminds me of the xbox 360 face plate replacement.
The video selling a 3d printed sheet of plastic for $40 (+ shipping) seems like an amazing grift.
You shouldn't game-ify /c/slop. It's not a contest. There are no winners. Slop should be associated with shame.
I have 1 metric for what is slop. "Would discussing this with a stranger get me kicked out of a public space?" If you walk into a coffee shop and start talking about the Destiny subreddit with the barista, the barista is probably not going to enjoy that.
A recent example of non-slop that was posted in the slop comm is the reflecting pool discourse. That's not slop. That's co-worker talk. You could talk about the reflecting pool with the barista. Everyone is talking about the reflecting pool shit. It's all over the news.

Why would anyone think this is real? I can see why Hexbear hates the fakenews comm because yall just believe anything.
North Korea (DPRK) has websites that you can visit and news websites that they make announcements on. If this had happened, DPRK would have made a press statement on their websites.
Especially since DPRK made a very big complaint recently about South Korean drones violating their airspace, they would definitely have said something about Israeli spies.
Tucker is not an outsider as he portrays himself. His father, Dick Carlson, was the president of Voice of America, which makes him tied to the CIA. Tucker is very likely a fed.
Trump posted this photo alongside a video of the US bombing Venezuela set to the 'Fortunate Son' by CCR. This seems to be Trump's favorite song because he played it at all of his campaign rallies. The song is about rich men who dodged the draft during the Vietnam War.
His whole debate schtick was fake. All of media is saying that he encouraged discussion or welcomed people to politics, none of which is true. Charlie manufactured scenarios where he could bully unprepared people to promote far right propaganda.
He sits in a booth with a microphone to present himself as the expert, giving him advantage in the conversation. He chooses unprepared college students from campus who are between classes. Then if someone proves that he's wrong, he just won't upload the video. There was no real debates.
“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two moderate Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia, and you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.” -Chuck Schumer, July 2016

Shutting the site down to stage a coup in Bolivia was not okay.
The UAW just finished negotiating a new contract with the "Big 3" auto manufacturers: Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis (fka Fiat Chrysler). The contract includes things such as a 25% wage increase for all UAW workers, return of Cost of Living Adjustment, removal of some of the wage tier systems, higher wages for temporary and new workers, bonuses to 401k and pension plans, and the right to strike over plant closures.
The new contract is going to expire on April 30, 2028. Shawn Fain is asking for other unions to prepare for a strike at the same time so that all unions involved will have greater collective bargaining power.
In the longer video Shawn Fain says:
We demanded a longer contract because one of our biggest goals coming out of this historic contract victory is to organize like we've never organized before. When we return to the bargaining table in 2028, it won't just be with the "Big 3" but instead with the "Big 5" or "Big 6".
I believe Shawn Fain is alluding that the UAW is attempting to unionize other car manufacturer companies in the next 5 years.
UAW posted key points of the speech in this twitter thread:

The post is about a 21 year old homeless person in Arizona. You can not live outside in Arizona. The temperature in Arizona regularly reaches 110 F (43.4 C) during the summer. Arizona celebrates Pride Month in October because it's too hot to go outside in June. Also racial profiling by police is historically rampant in Arizona. The police very likely targeted this person knowing that they lived in a car. The state of Arizona is trying to systematically kill this person.
Imperialism is the only jobs program in the US. The US is death cult. The US is kill or be killed. "Join the military" is not an offer to this person; it is a threat. This person is being told: Join the military or we will kill you. It is basically conscription, "poverty draft".
If the US were a functioning society, it would have jobs programs for building better infrastructure and public services. The US does not have these things because it is not a functioning society. It is a death cult.
