Yes, but it's not like people vote based on the general state of the economy. It would be stupid if they voted for a candidate based on the price of eggs or something.

Did this remark hit too close to home? I am starting to see a pattern where candidates that run for office find themselves walking back home.

Basically, the US government needs to throw gobs of cash at AI companies because any improvements we make will be immediately replicated by china. Sounds like a good strategy to me.

There is something to be said about the limitations of tor, but you are not the one to say it because you have no idea what you are talking about on a technical level.

This vid is a defeatist waste of time. It is clear you have no idea how tor works, and incredibly you are even shilling a VPN. The commentary on hippies/cyberpunk was adequate but adam curtis did it far better. Also your voice is annoying and seeing you soy out over uncle ted is really something.

Not enough is said about this. Women and diverse people need our support to compete in academia.

Gentrification, inadequate police reform, and neglect of workers' rights & environmental justice? People like you don't care as long as there is a conventionally attractive white-coded face in office. That's just as good as community leaders that represent local interests.

It's impressive how much "both sides" types will pay lip service for Frey despite his problematic aspects. "If you have a consistent worldview, that obviously means you are blinded by social media" says literally who on social media

Get a life transphobe

Cute, but kinda problematic. It's worth recognizing the impact that livestock like this has on climate change, and not romanticizing them.

Yeah

How ignorant are you that you think it is cool to make fun of trans lives at a time like this?
November 5, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Way to totally misrepresent voters. Trans folk just wanna live their lives with dignity, not threaten violence. Maybe take it easy with the transphobic rhetoric?

She is the world's best grandmother, and a loving, caring person who would give the shirt off her back to a stranger, and she fucking hates Donald Trump with the fire of a thousand suns.

As someone with a degree in History & Black Studies, I gotta challenge that notion of 'raw facts.' This objectivist idea of truth is rooted in whiteness, ignoring the ways power & perspective shape our understanding of reality. That's why relativism is key: we recognize that truth is contextual.

It does appear to be that way
