Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Ben Shapiro is mad that kids like a cartoon dog, so his company The Daily Wire is debuting a right-wing alternative.

Here's what I would like to see. Have Bluey do the same thing to the rip-off that Gumball did with its own copycat.

Opening the link in Chromium with no ad blockers, I get a "you're using an ad blocker" popup that prevents me from seeing the article and can't be closed (and, ironically, an ad loads behind the ad blocker message). Opening the link in Firefox with an ad blocker, I get no messages and I can read the article without ads. Genius.

E:

" “kids go to school for 40 hours a week and then they engage in pop culture for 40 more hours every week. That means for 80 hours of a child’s week, you are turning them over to the left.”

Huh... It's exactly the same argument I heard from a left winger about the right wing. I'm wondering if it's all bs and everyone is wrong and we should all just love one another and respect each other. Huh...

E: I just watched a couple minutes on YouTube. This show [the knock off one] has THE worst voice acting I think I've ever seen (even on children's shows). The writing is also crap, which doesn't help. Maybe it was just the clip and not the whole show, but I don't think so. The makers of this show should be ashamed of themselves for publishing this. Cocomelon looks like Shakespeare when compared to chinchilla. Wth

E: this was the couple-minute clip I watched, if anyone's interested.

Where have I heard this before?

Are you talking about Bluey or the rip off show?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I was talking about the rip off. Bluey's voice acting and writing are next level.
