What's in the Box? Se7en deadly sins of Steemit

in #news8 years ago (edited)

The abuse and power hungry continue to grow... flaggers, plagiarizers, rogue whales, "neo nazis", hackers, pedophiles... we just need ONE more and steemit will have it's SEVEN deadly sins.

Who Do We Need In a Time Like This?

Brad


Muthafukn


Pitt

That's right... I said it


Unsure which Brad Pitt tho but I'm thinking either...

The poor bastard above or maybe this one below

OR.. IF WE REALLY NEED TO MAKE A STATEMENT

Bottomline...

Those were 3 crazy ass "Pitts" you'd never want to fall into... btw, I can go ALL DAY with wordplay on his name.

But do you know what really grinds my gears?


When certain controversial topics influence a motherfucker to do something stupid like this recent event. Even worst... when you read the article and the journalist reporting says some stupid shit like "...gunman "investigating" fake news..."

Don't believe me?

it's like, REALLY BRUH?

Pizzagate is being reported as FakeNews

...Steemit looks like this

That means we could be on to something and before you go and blame Trump, Russia or any other crazy "REAL NEWS" or current events being responsible for FAKE NEWS... let's remind ourselves when the media and power elite comfortably had us like this...

So let's clean this crap up and send them a message...


someone actually had a good point when they pointed out in a recent discord chat...

it's very interesting an announcement is made regarding FAKE NEWS and a national "call for action" just as the dust begins to settle on this issue.

Now back to those 7 deadly thingie majigies I was talking about...

Unless you guys can point out ONE I left out... we are ONE sin away from being responsible for STEEMIT being laughed at and considered The Onion version of social media platforms.

Congratulations Douchebags, You Deserve a Token of Appreciation

We need to start rewarding those who actually provide some legit information and don't encourage bat shit crazy assholes to do what they do best.... maybe flagging or downvoting isn't really the issue and MAYBE it doesn't have to be changed. Maybe we can find another source of reward that offers value and encourages content creators to stay honest and true to good journalism.

Whatever that reward is...

...IT'S IN THAT BOX

...Let me promise you that when it's opened...

It's lights out Motherfucker

Oh shit... well, there ya go... WRATH... Circle complete

GAME OVER

awesome sauce.. I just introduced myself in the chat. Thanks for the support and token

Your post is definitely one of my favorite posts I have seen on Steem in a while. I submitted your post, and hope you continue to make amazing content like this!

My favorite post of the day.

I like it's raw, confrontational style combined with the cool of Brad 'Motherfukn' Pitt. A great combination which allowed me to laugh and think about what is important about Steemit at the same time.

Apparently @vjysheth is a little butthurt that I flagged his copy and paste of a Shrek script (which he subsequently submitted to the #humor-trail as an example of 'quality humor'). Hey @vjysheth, you mad bro? I make a lot of comments so you might end up draining all your voting power, voting me down. :-D

Naw, just saw the post @vjysheth.. cmon man. Not saying you shouldn't have posted it.. but maybe you shouldn't have posted it.

Ok, it's kinda funny and clever actually.. cuz it's Shrek. Honestly tho you took it a step further and submitted to a contest which looks like you're claiming few work as your own..

Prolly woulda been fine if you didn't submit that. Maybe film a scene next time and call it the live action version?

In my opinion, it is wise to never again use the words "news" and "fake " in the same sentence.....unless you want to fall into a propaganda hole, or "pitt"

These days there is so much propaganda and psyops that its safe to say nobody really knows what is "true".

All we can do is look at hard evidence and base logical assumptions around it.

very true... unfortunately "Fake News" is now an "official" thing :/

My point exactly.

Thats why I think its unbenificial to use....now you get tangled up in that mess.....personally...im vowing to not even use the word "news"

....And also looking at other words and concepts I should remove from my dictionary.

News is news whether it's real or fake... it's how we report it which makes the difference. It's our responsibility to maintain our reputation and hold it down. Shying away from presenting information isn't going to help anything. Stand up for what's you believe in

Thats no where near the point I was presenting...that has nothing to do with it.

I'm aware there is plenty of propaganda and misinformation out there and because of that we need to push truth to the forefront and bring awareness. Is there an alternative word or practice you are suggesting?

Please explain what you mean by not using the word "news," why it's not beneficial... and why you reject it from your vocabulary. Is what you're talking about, steemit related or in general?

Really really very very good good post post Wang ma man man!

thanks thanks homie homie

How the head of dead woman will help us to fix all those problems? Or am I missing the point? :D

the future of steemit is in that box... not Gwyneth Paltrow bobble head

My life was a lie all this time... #HollywoodGate
Thanks for opening my eyes, man! lol
But seriously, I have to agree with you on many points in your article.

Pizzagate is fake news

This post is about the reputation of steemit and not pizzagate... aside from that... never said it wasn't

I think the Inglorious Basterds Brad is the best one for this situation... Need some real ass kicking in this one. Se7en Brad was too "by the book" and Fight Club Brad was too much of a loose cannon. Upvoted and resteemed

Inglorious Bastards guy and Fury guy are both pretty crazy guys... I have to agree, any soldier with a straight up American accent confident enough to try and pass off as a "French-Man"

definitely best for the situation, lolz

The criteria for the man of my dreams
He was very handsome and tough, probably as tough as he is in bed.
I like that ...

oo wow, thanks for the compliment....

oo you meant Brad, smh.. yea sure, why not!?

LOL. I guess Brad would be happy to do whatever, now that he is free again. Perfect timing for a real project. Besides some celebrities would be even good for steemit´s popularity. I am not a huge fan of blond guys but you have my vote anyway :-)

haha, we need to convince @winstonwolfe to tell Brads brother, Doug Pitt to come to steemit. He lives in his hometown xD

I feel like this message has been brought to us from General Electric, I mean Rockefeller's REAL NEWS NETWORK, hey look a pretty birdie, ha Arnie's the NEW boss, same as the old boss, rich movie star and into politics. Oh boob tube your the greatest box ever, wait what was the topic again? Something about a pit?
