Half of 'Last Jedi' haters were bots, trolls, activists, study says

I really need to get off the social side of the net. It's gotten to be too much hasn't it? Who knows what all the bullshit is doing to us.

The farce is strong in that one. :yoda:

No, half of The Last Jedi haters were not Russian trolls

Commentary: Numerous reports say The Last Jedi negativity was influenced by Russian bots and trolls, but the reality is far different.

"The suspected Russian trolls are so few that it is basically the normal amount of Russian trolls you would expect to be present in a high-profile online debate."

The most earth-shattering paradigm shift in all of human history. We use it to jerk off and argue with strangers about shit. At least there are kittens and puppies.

Well other people do that sort of thing. I use it responsibly, and seriously, with all the respect it is due.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

It's a shithole that has utterly failed to live up to the hype.

The entirety of the social network on the internet for me is Rationalia. I guess that gives me a rather twisted and distorted viewpoint... :Jack:

-faith restored :smoke:
You're easily fooled. The whole show is a fake. If it were real, a black car would have pulled up outside, three of its four occupants would have jumped out, and having entered the barber shop let fly with their submachine guns they had taken out of violin cases, leaving the customer riddled with a dozen bullet holes and dead, while the barber is writhing in pain on the floor, bleeding profusely and about to die too.

The builders of the stage, made to look like a barber shop were careless. There is of course a possibility that a real barbershop in the US would be adorned with New Zealand's national flag, but I doubt a genuine barber would have it hanging upside down.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Russians are only after the blueprints of the deathstar so they can reverse engineer it.
What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?
