The reason is simple. Misinformation sticks with conservatives more than liberals. With liberals, someone posts evidence that the story isn’t true and the whole thing fizzles out. If someone tries posting counter evidence in a conservative forum, they get banned.

There’s no money in trying to push misinformation to liberals.

Adult life I could probably do, but I don’t know about post-2000

I should have known I wouldn’t be the first to think of this

We walk around with a little rectangle in our pocket that gives us access to the sum total of human knowledge, but we mostly use it for looking at funny captioned pictures, the same pictures over and over just with different captions.

It’s called a phone but no one ever uses it as one.

I don’t know. The users are way smarter than the admins. I’m sure people can think of a way to do it that the mods won’t notice until it’s too late.

Watch the Pangburn videos of Jordan Peterson debating Sam Harris. It’s easy to see what a word-salad regurgitating sophist blowhard Peterson is.

I use “guys” even when address a group of women. I feel it’s basically become a gender neutral term.

I’ve been using Firefox for years.

Why don’t they just not make as much?

Encourage remote work wherever possible.

I yanked the room door open from the inside, forgetting that the latch was still on.

The door frame moulding pulled right off of the wall. The latch was only attached to the moulding and not the wall behind it.

First level support staff generally aren’t allowed to have creativity. They just follow the script and then pass the problem up when it’s something they can’t handle.

Also, it’s very easy for someone to replicate the biometric features that the reader would use in something they could wear.

49 year old here. I still own a 3D tv, but I’ve never actually used the 3D feature. I didn’t even buy the TV. My dad gave my his old one when he upgraded.

I bought a Raspberry PI but never really did much with it.

I’ve never owned any of the others.

I work remotely, and we’re hardly ever on camera. I can be naked if I want.

I usually wear a tshirt and drawstring lounge shorts, no underwear.

There’s this book “Waiting For the Galactic Bus”. It’s about two immortal, energy based aliens who get stranded on primitive Earth and give a proto-ape an IQ boost, creating the human race. They find that when humans die their consciousness sticks around and has gathered in two “post-life energy pools”. The humans in these pools are expecting some version of heaven and hell, so the aliens decide to give them what they want just to keep them happy.

At first the alien running the pool dubbed “below stairs” doesn’t understand what the humans are asking for, but the other gives him a copy of Dante’s Inferno as an explanation (his response: “These people are sick!”) So he gives the humans the scenery and props they want, and makes sure all the exits are clearly marked. They can leave any time they want. But they stay because they insist on having their hell.

This book is one of the most insightful commentaries on human nature I’ve ever read.
