Over analysing media is masturbation for bougie college kids

I don't know what that means, but yes
But media is (often intentionally) propaganda
As is reading theory and starting revolutions.
i read theory and i'm about as far from a bougie college kid as you can get
Yet you also overanalyze media. Curious.
do i?
Casually checking the betting on the us election and...
?????
how is that media, and how is that in any way an analysis?
i just spotted the things you could bet on when I was putting a tenner on the cheeto to win
Yes... betting sites are another medium ... by which to extrapolate information.
It's all good, we're all just hypocritical libs here. Welcome to the club.

betting on things is now media analysis is it?
I mean if you have a 12 year-olds understanding of "media" as simply "current events".
Read a little McLuhan or Baudrillard and get back to me.
ironic
How were you informed to take a tenner on Trump? Did you magically infer that bet in a vacuum or was it materialized through your romps through the cultural zeitgeist?
you know that isn't what media analysis means right?
Sounds like you analyzed media and took a gamble. If the odds were 2:1, 50:1, or 12000:1, you would have made assumptions to inform your betting decision.
How is this rocket science?
as comrade Cuttlefish pointed out:
Yes, and making informed betting decisions and posting about it to share. Lemmy is a social "media" platform.
just going to ignore the first half, huh
Yeah, I skipped out on the ignorant part of the statement to save everyone the trouble.
do you ever shut the fuck up?
No.
you should try it
holds up mirror
At least I hope you understand irony.
the mirror is actually a portal to the shadow plane, a blast of demonic energy spews forth from it's surface, you take 4d8 psychic damage
it's when something is made of iron
Someone posted a stupid inverted conspiracy pyramid meme and you had this to say:
Would it have just been easier if I led with this?
what's your issue with that?
Overanalyzing media.
We're all navel-gazing libs. Just accept it.
incorrect
Incorrigible.
Ah well, I tried.
and failed, good job
Why's your vibe deliberately obscure? If you want to make a point, make a point.
I call it like I sees it.
Lol, ok ump. Maybe you can try to be more clear on if you are calling balls or strikes.
