Eh. It's always been a part of discourse. If they instead said, "our view of the administration's workings don't even rise to the level of observing shadows projected on a cave wall, we are truly in the dark", I'm betting you would go right along with it, even though there are plenty of people that wouldn't get the reference.
This just happens to be one you didn't know ... And now you do.
It didn't start as an echo chamber. Initially it was one of the few places online a progressive minded person could go and feel like they could express their opinions openly. And by "progressive" I mean both left and right leaning ideologies.
Which, funny enough is now a foreign concept. We call everyone on the left "progressive", even though Biden and Kamala are clearly conservative Democrats. And we call Vance a "conservative" even though he's clearly a progressive Republican.
You think it's bad? Go look at "popular" while you're not logged in (no subs / filters). It's shocking how insipid the experience is.
Don't worry! It's the types that need to launder money that this will serve. Problem solved!

Repurposing existing pronouns is the problem. Other languages have nice, gender neutral pronouns. We just need a nice new, singular gender neutral pronoun.
Example...
He/she/fai Him/her/hai
Then make it standard to use the neutral version where gender doesn't matter. Telling a story about your teacher? Is it pertinent we need to know the gender? No? Then standardize on the neutral version.
English has always been one of the most fluid languages. Why stop now? Just fix it.
All indefinitely means is "not certain". So it could mean a week... Or a century.
These disks are pretty well understood. You should be good for a decade. At about 12-13 years it's risky and anything after 15... If it's still working, count yourself lucky.
Exactly. The more claims you can deny the lower you can make premiums appear because you're not actually paying out.
And I imagine it'd be even easier on a podcast with a production crew to edit the material to help craft and maintain an image.
You mean, like passing a decree requiring all incoming presidents to sign an ethics pledge before taking office?
