This is big news. We all deserve to know who this person is and why he did what he did. Surprised to see hn crowd advocating for censorship

I think it’s interesting that you choose to focus on this part of the situation. To me, it’s far more relevant that the general public has little, if any, recourse through legal means such as voting. This is what makes political violence in

No, they wouldn’t get cheaper. The profit margins in the healthcare industry would get bigger.

The legal system is owned from top to bottom by the ruling class. You will not be able to use it to loosen their death grip on society. They will not allow it.

We can’t vote our way towards a better future. The corrupt MAGA and DNC institutions strangle any nascent grassroots movement in the crib. And we cannot make them relinquish their death grip on our country with only bare hands. Seriously sh

I always hear people say this, but it’s not clear to me what exactly is so difficult about using AI that otherwise-competent developers “can’t figure it out”

None of the things that you listed are stated goals of fediverse networks. In fact, they explicitly avoid them.

It’s crazy how the same people that are pro-labor union are also pro-immigration. How do they not realize that immigration is used as a weapon against labor organization? Workers movements of the 20th century were well aware of this obvious

I don’t think that anyone has an issue with the block feature. The problem is when the platforms themselves decide to arbitrate which viewpoints are allowed. This was clearly visible during Covid, when divergent viewpoints were penalized ag

You would see comments from random trolls under a whitelist model. You would only see stuff from your friends.

That implies that nonverbal people are unable to think, no?

> The unemployment rate just follows these smooth curves, covid was an exception, and it was due to jump again. Not very scientific I know. Why did you feel the need to post this article? It totally lacks substance. The above quote says

Truly the worst part about the h1b invasion is listening to them talk about how Americans are so stupid and lazy and how America would be nothing without them.

What’s wrong with that exactly?

When I was younger, I thought of dems as the party of logic and reason, and repubs as bible-thumpers. I don’t think this was entirely wrong, but the unthinking dogmatism of left-leaning people about lockdowns did a lot to disabuse me of tha

It’s not anti-social, it is pro-social. To stand for the right of people to live freely, for children to get an education and to socialize with their peers, for businesses to serve their communities and provide jobs for people to feed their

Some, including myself, were against lockdowns from day 1, and were viciously attacked for it.

Absolutely. I feel bad for young people growing up in this broken world. They will never even know what was taken from them. I realize that I’m probably going to get dogpiled for saying it, but I think that the response to COVID (ie lockdow

Interesting. Where can these old blog posts be found?

That’s not a conspiracy theory. Anyone who doesn’t realize at this point that online discourse is heavily engineered and manipulated is an unthinking rube.

I both agree and disagree. The issue is not independent thinking and research - it’s the low media literacy of the average person that makes them vulnerable to frauds, grifters, and crazies. With that said, the first few search results for

One of the first search results for me was a paper published in Nature. Other top results were from respected institutions like the NIH and Harvard University. Hardly grifters or crazies. The caveat you cite applies to basically any and all

This is totally unsurprising, given that, in some parts of the country, public schools teach controversial ideas about gender. Also, I see a lot of people arguing that exposure to “bad” kids is a point in favor of public schools, which seem
