Yeah the way you describe it makes it sound like we could build an AI forum where each user is the only one in there and all the rest are ai bots whose only purpose is to generate the content and interaction we’re looking for.

I think Reddit is just the beta version.

Biden could announce tomorrow that he has a proven plan that will end world hunger forever

I can’t figure out what my uncle would say but I feel sure it would be something like:

“That’s actually the Trump Plan he’s talking about and it would absolutely do what he was saying about it, but Biden’s gonna put some sorta socialism spin on it and really mess us up. Ain’t nothing to do with socialism that’s ever done one thing to benefit the country. Oop! There’s the time and I’ve got to get. Gotta hit the interstate and get by the bank to cash my social security check on my way to the VA.”

Yeah, I probably should have specified the comments section.

I finally found that hot garbage dumpster fire smell I was so familiar with on Reddit. Just had to randomly bump into a post about politics.

If your “we” is Democrats, then you may want to think twice before running head long into battle. Gun ownership among Republicans outnumbers Democrats more than two to one. That figure is per person and not a gun count per household, which is much higher with 2/3 of the gun-owning population owning more than one gun.

The only way you’ll win is by persuading the swing vote as Independent gun ownership is almost as high as the Republicans. But you probably won’t get all the Independents because a lot of them are right-leaning.

All that is to say that while I don’t expect us to ever get in a combative civil war, and I hope we don’t, I also think it’s in everyone’s best interests if no one is thirsty for one either.

Oration is a personal interest I have. (See username) I’m not great at it, but it is an interest.

I think you’re correct on all accounts. I’ve listened to a few of his clips, but I wouldn’t call myself a fan or even a listener. His cadence is often casual but slows a bit when he wants to stress a point. He likes storytelling. If he speaks about things that are universally frustrating, you can feel his speech begin to clip faster and his voice raise. Good intonations. And he seems good at having something to talk about and staying on task.

Good and bad people can be fantastic storytellers. I don’t know enough about him to make a judgement on his character, but I think he’s a good communicator.

Boring is now a feature imo. I’m so fatigued by news cycles, social media, and Trump that a boring candidate sounds fantastic. Unfortunately, we in the U.S. are hooked on controversy and division, which only benefits politicians and corporations.

I haven’t, but thats actually surprising. Back in 2001 someone had my name for their Yahoo email (it’s an unusual but common one) and decided then that I wouldn’t let it happen again.

For the next few years, I would immediately register for everything that looked like I would use it.

Got a good Hotmail in the 90s. But later on I would register for every little thing like Hushmail. Shushmail. Then MySpace. The best, though, was when I managed to get an invite in late 2007 for a little email service provider that was called Gmail.

Suck it every other variation of [email protected]!

(Not my actual email.)

After 1.1.2 came out and mine auto update, I turned off automatic updates, removed my home’s SSID settings from the network settings, and turned it on airplane mode just to be sure.

All my gaming is local, anyway.
