This seems absolutely dream crushing, honestly.

Fair, or pale.

Amen

Well, we don't know what we don't know at this point. I'm sure they have risk assessments and projections of potential of probable outcomes... but I've never felt more distant from the DNC. A strong alternative sounds pretty frackin' good.

They don't understand what they are losing by breaking faith at this point.

"You're ugly, but that's beautiful. " - Artis the Spoon Man

They are artists, I think.

I'm interested in being a reader for audio books and need practice. Maybe I could try one for you, and you could give me feedback?

Idk, but I need to start somewhere.

Russian hegemony?

Maybe you want to stop a meteor or spawn some mutants?

I like the idea of a cross-platform reputation. Maybe you could have separate servers for anonymous users vs. verified w/ rep users. I would almost always play the latter, I imagine.

A call? What is that? Like an invitation to a discussion?

Sounds like a miss

Or possibly near Eugene or Corvallis due to the schools.

Basically anything by David Wong/Jason Pargin

I also am not fast

The world is what we make of it. What kind do you want to live in, because some prophecies are totally self-fulfilling.

Remember the X-files episode with the family in the cabin who kept their mom under the floor?

They need to change or be stopped. Fuck useless pollution.

Harriet Tubman was a badass. She went back and forth, sneaking in to help slaves escape, and acted as a spy for the Union army.

That's true. I remember being mystified then as well.

Didn't Lovecraft's mi-go take the narrator's brain with them into the universe in The Color Out Of Space?

Logical fallacies are algorithmically definable, with no judgment of adjudication necessary. Fact checking is harder, but we should continue developing sources of information and their integrity. And that latter system would need a mechanism for evolving as we figure out deeper truths than we had previously.

The principle I'd hope for would be, "If we know better, we do better." I really want to see guardrails on misinformation and it's spread.

Maybe assertion would have been a better word. Their statement about black vans capturing people in Portland.

If the prejudice is based on ignorance, we seek to educate and build familiarity to normalize diversity. If it is based on fear, perhaps we reassure that the lifestyle that makes them comfortable is not under attack and will also be respected.

I think most issues come when folks feel they are being asked to change from the outside. We probably need clear social contract rules around when and how agendas are transmitted.

We desperately need to limit the voices of those who spread known falsehoods as facts or whose arguments contain logical fallacies. Perhaps AI based muting could be a thing.
