Public consciousness has shifted dramatically over the last couple of decades… How would you demonstrate it?

So an oil spill also isn’t pollution?
If you don’t know Shaun Tan, you really should buy copies of some of his books. They are all gorgeous.
It literally promises to generate content, but I think the implied promise is that it will replace parts of your workforce wholesale, with no drop in quality.
It’s that last bit that’s going to be where the drama happens
I don’t think I’ve come across anything like this, will have a look, thanks
Yeah, fair enough :(
Lolwut? Didn’t realise they were serving ads on maps too, that’s hectic
Or attribute based: furry, can fly, two eyes, scales, etc.
We had one guy (Ricky Muir) in Aus who kind of got in accidentally, due to a weird quirk of the voting system that has since been fixed. He was an uneducated bogan, who was mostly just interested in hotted up cars. But he actually took the position seriously and reached out to experts for advice on topics he didn’t know much about. I didn’t agree with his take on a few things (from memory, this was a decade or so ago, I’m an anti-car lefty), but he honestly seemed like he was doing a pretty good job. Way better than 90% of the rest of the more career politicians.
Most people aren’t that dumb, given the resources…
There are undoubtedly people beginning to say the same thing about supermarket checkout attendants now. That doesn’t seem like a good thing to me.
Up voting for your last paragraph. Totally agree. Lobbyists only interested in corporate profit are evil.
Advertisers. For-profit advertisers mostly. They intentionally skew people’s understanding of the world for the benefit (usually) of the rich.
Wow, interesting. I can tolerate a bit of gore reading (I think I just zone out on the worst of it). I don’t enjoy it in film at all.
I generally avoid horror films. There’s one that has stuck with me horribly, and I wish I’d never seen it (The Ruins). Didn’t enjoy some parts of Annihilation either.
Possible I’ve just never read any really bad scenes though…
Become president/buy a president. Same diff.
Gotta be able to compete in the rolling coal market
Better a moderation system that has a few false positives than a system that allows nazi and fascist accounts to flourish.
I didn’t know what it was, so I looked it up. Their description is here:

It sounds interesting… It also sounds like it will fail, because Mozilla seems to think that trackers are primarily interested in collecting ad stats, and that targeted advertising is less critical, but I think in reality it’s the other way around, and advertisers won’t accept such a limited solution.
Conspiracy theorist don’t think NASA and other orgs are ridiculously well funded. They just have near-zero concept of the scale of costs for the things that they claim. Innumeracy is a prerequisite for conspiracy theory beliefs.
Usually I would say it’s better to assume incompetence than malice. It’s a much better way to relate to the world.
There are two exceptions though:
