I think that’s the main point about society on a forum, someone spouting junk stays on the forum and doesn’t spread very far. on FB or Twitter, if you are so included, the AI picks you and feeds you posts from all over social media to feed your personality. so you don’t even have to go looking and you are almost unknowingly bombarded with one sided info and then that spiral continues its like how ISIS recruit but instead of someone having to physically contact people, the AI does it all. we must all get loads of suggested RC vids on YouTube and we don’t get sent conspiracy stuff conspiracy people only get sent conspiracy stuff and not RC vids so we can see what happens we buy more and more cars and they get more and more deeper down the rabbit hole one is dangerous to our wallets the other is dangerous to society the trump election fraud is the most pertinent - how did millions of Americans believe a hoax with minimal circumstantial evidence - all of which was actually debunked? outside of America - no one believed there was fraud Scary stuff transpose that to anti vaccine people and all of a sudden it’s world wide deaths not just crazy people dressed as Vikings sorry - I’ve been doing a paper on it all JJ

Also just finishing off my rere Avante metallic blue - backed with silver - backed with black JJ

Also just lowered my comical with baja parts I’ll do a proper step through on my project thread soon JJ

@Xeostar is your man think he’s gonna do another run of them JJ

You missed the “do you want to know how to earn £100k then stay tuned” JJ

+1 i started watching Kevin Talbot - didn’t really click with his channel .... it’s all over the place JJ

Sorry I may have expanded on the show off aspect of FB to include absolute morons the 2 are linked though haha bit it’s also linked to the current situation where most people are doing their bit then suddenly some people decide (based on social media) to ignore the advice and ruin it for the rest of us JJ

Well I wired up the motor to a tamiya esc and a nicad and the same Rx and that worked so I can only assume the ESC has died JJ

Ps @mud4fun my 11 year old flourished. His ability to manage a MS TEAMS calendar for lessons, run video teams meetings, been able to manage his time and homework with his “life” has been amazing to see. He also passed his 11+ has created an art portfolio has built numerous Lego models has rebuilt his kyosho nexxt dampers to be oil filled yes he’s felt alone and missed his friends at times but it’s made us get out and about more and look at different ways to manage our mental health - together so coming back to social media, repeating what you’ve read as the negatives of lockdown without considering any positives or pulling in any real world info is another example of social media only showing you the narratives that will capture your attention for longer Outside of covid it’s still bonkers that the internet and access to it isn’t seen as an essential in today’s society and it is bonkers and that the govt in the uk hasn’t provided access to all kids to distance learning life is what we make of it im a stone heavier since this time last year but my stress levels are lower than ever JJ

That’s stunning im Mid tweaking my comical hornet into something similar LOVE the fire extinguisher JJ

@mud4fun very cherry picked view without any info to back it - a defo social media narrative reproduced. can pick out many examples to fit both sides Kids who no longer get bullied in school Less road deaths Less flu deaths because people are not interacting as they would Businesses who have diversified and are thriving etc as was said though - this is not political it’s about people only taking certain views about things and social media algorithms makes sure people only see the things they spend time looking at - you are a revenue generating asset for social media. picture the matrix and all the humans in pods being harvested ok we aren’t being harvested for our BTUs but for our eyes - time on screen = £ for social media companies. but many people don’t even know that, they think companies put together apps for free with the massive server requirements because they want us to share pics of our food JJ

God panorama tonight was so frustrating covid is a scam masks dont work vaccines are dangerous Don’t these people understand that Edward Jenner’s work on vaccines eradicated a killer disease across the whole world over a 100 year period! grrrrrrrr JJ

hahaha - not picked up on that one. people will believe anything JJ

Would love one if I had lots of snow JJ

I love that JJ

That’s amazing but how many people* would miss the irony *I was gonna write young people but that’s unfair as even my 11yr old would know abe was dead long before the internet!! but some people - it’s upsetting how dim people can be intelligence is dwindling across the globe look at the most recent leader of the free world JJ

Interestingly the issues with social media spreading false narratives (ie the “ask the experts” vid) means that people are being convinced that vaccines are not to be trusted. the vid contains self professed experts stating things that come across as bible facts we have lost the ability to critical think due to us being totally susceptible to what we see on social media how many vids do you see that are clearly fake and people Comment saying “surely that’s gotta be fake!!” anyway, the “expert” vid has been removed off most social media platforms but continues to circ on WhatsApp JJ

Ah but it’s not the personal impact - it’s the societal. look how many anti mask people there are or people who state covid isn’t gonna hurt anyone because it’s mortality rate is lower than flu what that does to society is these “experts” who initially convince people that all the news is fake bar specific social media posts then go on to convince them that the world is corrupt and to carry on spreading covid (for example) and then they moan when it’s lockdown same with the USA voter fraud - look what trump managed to do! Convince millions of people that the election was rigged how? Social media and people being told the news was hiding the truth - that’s all news agencies in every country in the world - even those ones that would revel in the corruption of democracy. but you can’t teach stupid of the other bit about FB - the same Q gets asked over and over again - theses no read filing of historic posts and answers JJ

Smart ForFour BRABUS with only just over 200 in the uk it’s rarer than most cars mapped to 220bhp, stainless/custom exhaust from block to tip, racing clutch, lightened flywheel, wilwood 4 pots, induction, lowered, wide wheels, updated engine braces etc etc i was accused of being stupid spending all that money on Brabus accessories (even though it’s look is all stock apart from the wheels) JJ

Is it plastic? JJ

I store mine in a £20 army surplus ammo box JJ

I think I have issues I was running my DEX210 with 3s in the road today and the neighbour came and chatted and the car was just sat switched on for about 40mins going nowhere when I tried to drive off after the car wouldn’t move thought I had a dead battery so swapped that out but still not getting anywhere also removed pinion so motor has no resistance servo working fine symptoms - no throttle response But at points on the throttle the motor will try and run but really rough thoughts? the ESC had the fan running the whole time and was hot but not to the point including touch JJ

www.MCIracing.ca then you will see the huge amount of decal sets they have JJ

Unfortunately it was a conspiracy that very very quickly circulated on social media where every pizza order was actually a trade in a child it escalated to the point where a man went into a pizza shop with a gun to free the kids in the basement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizzagate_conspiracy_theory Just an example of how social media can self certify a theory because those who don’t believe the theory eluding ever go to that part of social media so the only people that go there want to believe and without people showing them why it’s not true it becomes a truth How people can believe and argue the earth is flat given all the evidence then society is doomed JJ

The only reason I share stuff is to inspire I get inspired by people’s posts I like to keep busy in my shed and I can’t always afford a new kit so doing things like creating new designs with existing chassis this is a good forum JJ
