I think news takes more of a front seat these days. Lots of history in the making.

The left has abandoned the pursuit of equality (equality of opportunity) for the pursuit of equity (equality of outcome), but now the left is changing the definition of "equality" to mean the definition of equity. It's an Orw

Don't forget the DMs of all these accounts. That could be very valuable information.

Was thinking about a dating app where you only get to reveal a few photos/ability to message after answering a short multiple choice quiz managed by the user. The questions can be arbitrary but the point is that the pursued gets to con

I'll admit I don't know anything about Gab, but I'm not picking up "nazi/white supremacist site" from their storefront. https://gab.com/ Regardless, it's embarrassing how careless the poli

You mean calling all conservatives and Republicans racists, Nazis and fascists doesn't make sense?

Literally nobody is trying to stop the protesters. Literally nobody. I can't find anyone who doesn't agree that George was murdered. Hell, I have old seemingly racist family members who agree with that. It's the arsonist, rio

I couldn't imagine someone being against a police Union and also supporting civilian unions. They serve the same purpose. I also can't imagine a sane person thinking we don't need the police, unless you're also supportin

I'm against Antifa and am afraid to admit this in PDX, for my own safety. Left wing politics is becoming just as fascist as right wing politics used to be.

I suppose you would be in favor of a Minority Report type of world, where our truth machine will tell us verifiably that you will commit crime in the future, thus we should preemptively arrest. Surely it's never wrong!

I think people are missing a few big points. 1) It's extremely difficult being a cop 2) It's extremely terrifying being a cop 3) It's extremely unpopular being a cop It boggles me every time I hear people say cops need &quot

I'm also very against it, but I'm not convinced they don't already have whatever data they'd gain from using the assistant.

So you're suggesting I embrace the tech? I think I'll do this. I don't feel like I can reasonably protect myself from data-snooping companies, whether I use their products or not.

It would. I would learn to use it for everything I could. Setting timers with voice will be a big one for me. Changing music, hanging calling/hanging up the phone.

I understand the utility, I had a friend with a HomePod who used Siri for everything and I became jealous of how smoothly he used it to his benefit. I just don't see how in the future my voice is going to be protected. If I don't

Funny enough, I looked at my local meetups and the biggest one is run by a woman. It's probably a good idea anyway.

I love freedom more than most things but our government being incompetent isn't really related. This is clearly a States issue. Yes and thank goodness, I would hate living in oppressive Australia.

I'm always ignored when I ask for help. Being a person who "takes it like a man" in a sense, as in absorbs these problems for greater overall execution, I'm always ignored when I bring up my problems. "Tough shit&qu

Yes unfortunately Americans have rights and our federal government doesn't have authority to micro-manage our life like a Sim game. So sad.

"It doesn't fit here" and "vibe" are in your head, none of that was ever discussed. The mod said "it doesn't belong here because it's not related to Portland" which is objectively false. As in,
