I used to use reddit a lot but it got far too political. even generic subreddits like r/pics or /funny seem to often have a top post bashing trump. it’s really devolved.

pornography is banned in public squares despite being legal. you can’t just show it in the middle of downtown... that itself is a restriction re: fighting words they’ve since narrowed the definition but it’s never been overturned

actually the supreme court has ruled that fighting words, pornography etc, are all perimissable to be banned within the scope of the 1st ammendment. it’s very specific legal terminology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fi

the network effects aren't anti-competitive alone. the acquisitions alone aren't anti-competitive. their combined effect has been for them to be in a monopoly position and prevent any competition.

this begs the question if nigerians who had no legacy of jim crow or slavery and are the most succesful ethnic group should be recipients of affirmative action

im not making any comment on whether low carb is good or bad, but figured i'd mention that just because something is good for a diabetes patient doesn't mean it's good for all people in all situations.

thats not true. there are people who would be happy to advertise on the federalist or conservative content, but youtube/google bans it anyway because they are ideologues. how hard would it to be to allow them to match with advertisers

have they seen youtube comments?

Let's talk practically, this will hurt people who did best on SAT (asians and jewish people who studied hardest, not rich white people) and help those who did poorly (blacks and hispanics). The SAT isn't perfect and you can prepar

i agree with what you said. the entire ordeal was an accident on both sides but my question remained. is there a shred of evidence it was racially motivated since it’s getting lumped in with BLM
75.
by alkibiades 6y ago
and not a single shred of evidence it was racially motivated rather than an accident having to do with the fact that her boyfriend shot a police officer

i’m talking about things like them lying saying masks don’t work because they didn’t have enough. the who took until june to admit they work and now this whole thing about staying silent about the race riots because they support them even t

while interesting, i dont quite see how thats related. public health experts during this whole crisis have been morally and intellectually bankrupt. misinformation on social media is a separate issue

i don’t think we’ll know what worked or didn’t for years from now. regardless of what even they say. it could be we just delayed deaths that will happen eventually anyway while commuting economic seppuku

then why give it such an inflammatory divisive hateful name?

i’m 25 and this whole covid debacle and seeing how public health officials handle it has soured me on all “experts” for the rest of my life. no wonder people don’t believe in global warming, these “experts” prioritize politics over everythi

yeah the culture is all based on promotions.. and you get them by launching something new, not by maintaining or improving existing systems. hence what you said

is it even legal to have explicitly race-based policies like this? could a company do the same thing for other race groups?
84.
by alkibiades 6y ago
googles already like that... they just get away with it because of the money printing machine they have with ads

if you comment on a post like this and work at the company it’s talking about you really should disclose it

sad how many people want this number to be wrong and want suffering because they hate the president so much. this should be the top post on the site right now

section 230 was a special provision that was passed to protect the fledgling internet 25 years ago. i don’t think it’s crazy to think it needs updating or repeal.

by alkibiades 6y ago
yes we support free speech but if they are editiorializing then section 230 no longer applies to them. we should prosecute them for all the child exploitation and other crimes such as defamation on their platform

censoring the commander in chief is an active act of aggression against the american people. not only should we repeal section 230, we should view twitter as a hostile power. we should study twitters deep ties to the saudis and china. and j

i can tell you from experience it’s often misrepresented as well. the leadership will say something in an internal announcement and when it gets leaked it’s like a game of telephone. where the news is slightly different than what was actual
