> The problem here is that the notion that "DEI is just a loose label for having less discrimination in the workforce" is always hidden behind by people who want to use it for more forceful discrimination. Nah. The problem is d

If I spend a lot of campaign time suggesting I’m the fiscally responsible one and you’re not, I don’t think “neither were you!” Is a meaningful response when you note my irresponsibility. At some point I should be answerable for not represe

I quoted the specific words GP used and the specific post GP made. I’m not clear how asking GP to elaborate on what was apparently a statement not made in good faith is “changing the topic”. Aside from the fact that it apparently makes id

What is 1%? 1% of poor folk’s income? Or is it just 1% of the budget, making it a wildly silly place to start “cost savings” on behalf of “poor people”?

Why didn’t you answer the question?

How much money, specifically, do you think is “taken” from the “poorest” and “given away” by USAID? This is a weird line of attack on basically anything in the federal government’s budget, as is the suggestion that it works similarly to you

I’m “under the impression” that he’s obviously never had a specific, unelected role in government used to steal government information and informally fire government workers. In spite of the absurd notion that donating to candidates is rem

What a completely weird question. I don’t understand why you’d invoke a right-wing conspiracy trope that’s obviously and incontrovertibly incompatible with the current reality. Was it accidental, like it’s just a knee jerk reaction to screa

In reality? They don’t. In the current despotic US? Musk has been empowered by the President and the courts to do anything he wants, however he wants. He is, effectively, one of the two most powerful people in the US government.

Extreme cowardice and sociopathy, combined with seeing the ability to take advantage of the kleptocracy that around 130m Americans decided they wanted.

Would love this, in light of recent decision-making at the bigger companies. I refuse to use Google products when it’s at all possible to avoid them, and would prefer to move away from Apple (for similar but different reasons). That said, i

You’d be surprised by how many people don’t think that through. There are always a surprising number of people apparently just going through the motions.

I don’t understand what you mean. That you can certainly opt in to artificial nonsense, as wholeheartedly and completely as you want, doesn’t mean society is artificial. It just means that’s the part you’ve decided to live your life in.

Ah, so by “not voting” you meant “leaving one box blank while already filling out the rest of the ballot because what’s the point of wasting the ink”? Sorry, that reads, to me, like post hoc justification for nonsense. The only people who t

… Do you think President is the only thing on the ballot? Do you think that maybe, if everyone voted, the demographics might be different? I’m so tired of this nonsense. If y’all bothered showing up for state and local races, you could even

I think this is the mistake being made - he has no beliefs. He’s purely and completely a sociopath. Nothing matters but money and whatever power he has at Facebook.

Those people don’t have those jobs because of their degree. As a non-wealthy, not particularly bright creative writing major, the focus of your degree only holds you back if you let it, or if you are utterly unwilling to work outside of you

The government can do (literally) whatever a majority of voters are willing to encourage and/or accept. In this case, this is precisely what Trump voters wanted, and what every non-voter said they were ok with.

Yep - I love ChatGPT for “conversation starter” analysis and ideas. I think it works well to help me figure out what my question is (a program isn’t working and the error message is generic), or to refine something I’ve written or test me

What fault do you think GP was finding? Do you think GP is wrong and that the President is, in fact, deeply invested in this? And if so, why not say it instead of complain weirdly about persecution?

And Russia is transparently lying. “But you call everyone a Nazi” isn’t particularly persuasive - it’s just Republican agitprop.

Can you point to a single time that banning the speech of Nazis has led down a vast slippery slope of further speech bans, particularly in a vaguely democratic country?
