I'm surprised to see such a well rounded, logical view here. Kinda feels rare on this platform these days.

I'd love to see the rest of the list.

Sadly I truly believe this is the case. There's no reason to support Trump positions unless you're a billionaire. Any non-billionaire that supports his obvious lies and grifts must be a racist, because he doesn't have anything else going on.

Who's going to do the regulating?

Sure, a liberal could impose sane regulation, but what happens next time the US elects a Trump?

You want Trump (or any other fascist wannabe dictator) to have the ability to control what people say on the Internet? He's already calling to take down ABC for fact checking him!

So just like gun control (as in an all-out ban), regulation of free speech/communication is just so risky.

I do think platforms should be doing more to remove disinformation from the mainstream, no matter who it pisses off. Unfortunately that does end up leading to echo chambers when what Americans need is to hear (truth) from all points of view.

Very complex situation that AI is only making worse.

I think I understand your point, but if news isn't for profit, who would pay the reporters? I used to write for a newspaper and it's pretty hard work.

It can't be state sponsored, due to the conflict of interest. If the state pays for the media you couldn't trust the media to accurately report on the state.

Honestly, in good faith, wondering what the other options would be.

Bret, you got it going on.

"The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism" is a hell of read, as well as "The Navidson Record".

But "The Necronomicon" is my favorite fictional book, I think.

Only reserve IPs that are outside of the DHCP range you've configured.

I'm still thoroughly stoked for this game.

Wat. There are three sides my dudes. What am I missing?

Same with meat on the bone for me. Like... I love a biryani, but it's so much better when the chicken/lamb is boneless. I get that the bone imparts some flavor, but I don't think it's worth the effort and mess.

I bet you money he couldn't point out where Haiti is on an unlabeled map of the Caribbean.
