People give a fuck because they’re (with reason) emotionally invested in the politics of their lives, and which politicians are elected directly effects their lives. That one’s not too hard to grasp.

But while that will always be the case, people need to realize that Russian propaganda is inherently opportunistic and it has a goal of pushing us further apart from one another. There are real issues that lead to these sorts of political outcomes.

It’s not because of Russia, but the russian state is incredibly efficient at grabbing those issues and amplifying them to the point where we stop trusting our neighbors and families, thus breaking the democratic wheel.

Knowing that is part of the solution but realizing that there are actual issues that make people vote for political figures like Trump and listening to those voters without making assumptions about their morals is even more important.

edit to add: the republicans are part of America. Their voters are part of America. Just as democrats are. Trump is part of it, so is Jill Stein. Own it, learn from it, don’t repeat it. Try to understand why it happened. This is true for every country, but with different characters, other movements.

It doesn’t matter if the voters are to blame. If they don’t vote for you, you haven’t reached them. Complaining about that won’t make them vote for you.

This being said everyone who is a citizen of a society has some responsibility for that society. So of course the voters have responsibility.

To be fair they’re saying this not because it’s actually useful (which it might be) but because them saying this stirrs shit up and makes people more upset. They’re playing on the feeling that is already there, and the best thing to do is to dismiss their comment as a play to make us upset with eachother and watch what they do instead. They want us to burn bridges. That’s what’s useful to them.

It’s off whipping ass

It’s written as if they literally expected AI to be self reasoning and not just a mirror of the bullshit that is put into it.

I’m the kind of person who takes phone calls on speaker almost exclusively (unless I have headphones), but never in public what the actual fuck. I hate those people too.

Of not more. At least government gives some amount of insight and a chain of responsibility. Corporations are opaque and responsibility ends in an understaffed, underpaid “support” line.

Too’s to many two count

Good to see someone listening to people more knowledgeable than them.

Look, Reddit search is already a shit show. Them overhauling it whatever way can’t possibly make it much worse anyway.

Paid subreddits though. I didn’t know we were already in April.

This

Sure! I use it “as intended”. I pay later. But I only use it when I know that there’s going to be money later (I have money now) and I plan my economy pretty thoroughly. It gives me some extra space when I need it, and makes it so I don’t have to put out my own money to companies I haven’t purchased from before, which can be useful since I tend to look for the best deal available and that often leads me to smaller shops that have no ratings or other reputation online.

I don’t disagree with your comment in any way. It’s a complex situation, and there are positives and negatives to doing it this way.

It’s the people they’re counting on not paying after the BNPL period is over that need more protection. That’s where the trap is, and where these actors make their money.

I personally find it incredibly useful, but I agree that it should be regulated. It is very obvious that the way these systems work currently is not in the interest of the citizens, judging by the numbers of people who go into a debt spiral they cannot resolve. Just because it’s useful for my case doesn’t mean that it should stay as it is.

I thought he was at 52 or something

My only thought is that maybe he’s useful for something which we, the regular peasants, have no clue about.

Mostly cost tbh

I mean… It’s unique in it’s looks. I don’t know if that’s positive

Personally prefer oblong
