Careers, relationships, etc. No one wants to admit how much of their life was a random thing they just kept doing.

Most common Bumble message: "Hey how's it going"

Isn't that the exact lack of effort you complain about? The real problem is that wtf are you supposed to say to someone you don't know? Whatever that comes out is meaningless because you have 0 to go on. That's the point. It's a starting point.

toxic people.

I continue to be amazed how strong the options of people who have no real insight into any of this continue to be.

Oh man, Scott Adams was such a good source for knowledge before he tapped into political snake oil.

No on minds someone that is weird and quiet. The weird and noisy is a problem. Try keeping to yourself (it's hard, I know) and let your work speak for you.

This is a stereotype of journalists I have not seen confirmed. Most journalists I know are happy to admit when they are wrong, if it means they are closer to the truth.

Topic aside that is an excellent comedy video. If SNL made this as a "digital short" it would be the best thing they'd had done all year.

Two ways to lie, say something false or only give 1/2 of the story.

One thing to add:

And inadmissible in court in many places:

I'm not aware of any place that accepts polygraphs in a court.

With all respect, do you feel odd about benefiting personally from a system you despise?

Being hospitalized is not the only threat to you

This is a novel virus that attacks our lungs and nervous system. We still know very little about long term effects, even if you aren't injury in the short term.

Also, not getting severely ill yourself doesn't mean someone else won't get sick from you. Please be careful.

No

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_broadcasting

Public-sector media (state-funded) is not to be confused with state media (state-controlled), which is "controlled financially and editorially by the state."[1]

All they do is regulate the flow of new money, they aren't responsible for tax codes that ensure a widening gap of wealth via the return on capital vs the return on labor.

Rewatching one of my favorite shows (Arrested Development) was rough. They made "Retard" and "Tranny" jokes left and right.

I have been talking politics due to a recent coup attempt. This bubble you are attempting to create here, in the name of "content moderation", is just weird.

I am not lighting fires, I am pointing out unpopular opinions and statements of fact.

I see where you are coming from, but this is enforcing group think under the guise of community management.

Banning me for pointing out attacking sacred cows is not allowed here is as much of a bookend as I require.

All this censoring will almost undoubtably cause some people on the other side to double down, unfortunately.

QAnon needs deprograming and therapy. Anything short of that will "cause them to double down".

They were minutes from the Senate floor while Senators were still there.

I have the PS4 version (yes, base not Pro)

This game was not meant to be played on > 10 year old hardware. That's no excuse they shouldn't have released it at all on ps4, but still what did you expect ?

And until such a thing occurs, most Trump adjacent HN members with continue to play "no true scotsman" with the extremists amongst them.

Trump derangement syndrome. Anything he touches must automatically be reversed.

Interesting projection, as everything Obama did good or bad had to be gone. I don't think Biden will do the same thing, as some Trump policies must be beneficial in some ways.

The (valid) criticism of "Twitter doesn't moderate their platform worth a damn either" runs into the law of scale. Youtube had just as much copyrighted materials as others, they were big enough to deflect calls to remove them. Twitter, same thing.

If they do respond, it will be with "Yeah but what about..." without missing a beat. No reflection, no introspection, just furthering the infinite game.

It's MAGA world, they are closing ranks around "violence is ok look what you made us do".

It's the natural last step in any fascist movement. The question remains, how many Americans remain this radicalized. If the number is low enough , the country survives.

74* million people didn't endorse a violent mob attacking the capital, or Trump's attempts to overthrow democracy after his loss.

I'm on "the right", and I want all platforms calling for violence and revolution gone. You if (we) ever want to win another election again, disowning the violence and extremism is step one.

Or are you owning the mob that stormed the capital?

People defending them sound either entirely disingenuous or woefully ignorant.

The question of the Trump era, am I talking to someone that doesn't know the facts or knows them, and is cynically lying to my face to protect their worldview and argument.

No, but the people not calling for violence probably still have their twitter and facebook accounts so we arent talking about them.

Exactly. By calling all the filth and calls for violence on Parler "conservative", you really aren't helping your metrics in trying to win elections in the future.

If you are so dedicated to having a platform that hosts direct calls for violence and murder, then create your own hosting service too.

I regret spending even a moment interacting with you.

"Yeah but what about" isn't a valid respond under any circumstances, especially not when you are trying to deny that you argue solely in bad faith.

Your state of denial and victimhood complex make any discussion impossible.
