(Previous Episode: https://voat.co/v/whatever/3237811)
The task: Daily, on or approximately around 8PM EST, identify noteworthy postings on Voat you may have passed by and not seen. Some days may have more, some less. /disclaimer
Bias: Openly my own. Rational. Based on life experiences. Happy to be educated on any and all things.
The objective: To create dialogue. Noteworthy content sometimes doesn’t make the first 4 pages of Voat. This gives that content a second chance, and can kickstart conversation. Overall effort to avoid politics, but not always exempt political views.
Objective feedback always welcome. Links guide to the original user-posted content so you can participate. All topics are in chronological order, top oldest to bottom newest.
-
A follow-up from the accelerationism post from yesterday had a pretty badass side-by side of Huxley vs. Orwell. (Note, this image specifically)
-
Observe and join in on a candid conversation about the overall white vs. blue collar tension in America.
-
China now has a “Frank” like robot bio screen the health of preschoolers in 2,000 schools, every single day.
-
@whysosensitive asks the rather practical question of where to get a Dictionary that hasn’t been.. selectively edited.
-
Road-rage truck guy threatens a driver after running him off the road, gets legally iced. Sheriff in a good ole’ free State explains why threatening someone justifies defending with lethal force. An armed society is a polite society, and armed people don’t generally go around threatening people unless they have a death wish.
-
An FBI agent does a video with a pretty down-to-earth comprehensive guide on how to read body language. Pretty badass and practical.
-
There is some unusual behavior surrounding the release of the Dissenter browser. Including a later post saying Windows is flagging and censoring the browser install. Can independent users please chime in?
-
I’ve never seen a thread get downvoated faster in my life than when someone posted about a Mosque shooting in Broward County. Did you hear about this today?
-
I just found my new favorite parody account. Good form, sir, good form.
-
An important PSA on @Dial_Indicator, including visibility to various recent antics.
-
Just a heads up that the German Minister is bullying Tech Monopolies on message encryption. I find @roznak’s comment especially noteworthy.
-
We’ve now achieved quantum teleportation (superimposition) up to a range of 25KM through optical-fiber cables. This shit will seriously unlock space travel for the Human species.
-
Friendly reminder, Rottentomatoes has quietly removed their downvote function. Uh oh.
-
A very important question about .357 Mag vs. .44 Mag. Obviously a Coonan in .357 Magnum is the correct answer, but I’ll settle for a Desert Eagle so I can chamber it in both + .50 AE.
Too many? Too few? Questions, concerns, complaints with the format?
Slow “not-news” day, everything was so political. Here is as political as I think you should be if you want some good old fashioned rage-comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH7iQsSs3Do

I love what you're doing, but there should seriously be a bot doing this - or Voat itself. It will miss some things, but it'd be interesting.

How would you progam the bot? The problem with Voat is that it is boring. The loudest mouths want to do nothing but to talk about jews and the JQ. A bot would give you the same old boring shit. Everything would be about jews. Most normal people do not obsess like that.
TestForScience ago
Well, he goes for what is 'missed,' so chances are it wouldn't be stuff about jews, since those are usually pretty highly rated.
He goes for the overlooked pieces. The problem with that, though, as far as a bot would go, is that a bot can't decide what is overlooked, in the sense of content.
I think this is a job he'll never have to be worried about a robot replacing him in.
