(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 worry what upvoting you will do to your mental health.
On the one hand, it's nice to unearth some gems that didn't get the recognition they deserved. On the other hand, I don't want to encourage you to crawl through guano all day looking for a handful of diamonds that may or may not be found.
Obviously, an upvote would be a form of encouragement. I'm torn because I forsee you losing your mind chasing that encouragement, skipping real world duties to crawl through internet guano.

Would you feel better if I told you I'm not even judging my content based on upvoats, but based on engagement in all the previously dead threads?

No, I wouldn't. The thought of you spending the day on a single website searching for things to tickle my fancy while I'm out accomplishing my own goals puts knots in my stomach, no matter what your process might be.

The way I look at it, I'm just working out another muscle developing another skill. Most of my day is spent juggling these.
