The trouble with most of the mechanisms of the US government is that they’re built around the assumption that the majority of politicians are acting in good faith. When one major party decides that winning is more important than integrity, the whole thing breaks down.

That being said, I really don’t know what can be done about it that wouldn’t also be fascist or at least undemocratic

So if you agree that what’s being said is factual, then what exactly is the concern here regarding “echo chambers”?

A echo chamber is dangerous when people are spreading misinformation, a group of people acknowledging a very real negative aspect of a major political party is in no way “echo chamber” type behavior.

Now if we were saying “all conservative voters and politicians are Nazis”, id agree with you that caution should be given about echo chambers, but cautioning about echo chambers when objective facts are being discussed comes across much more as you trying to deflect away from facts you don’t like being discussed.

Would it help you if we also talked some trash about democrats?

Biden is too old for office

Most elected democrats are hypocrites, at least to some extent

Virtually every politician, including the left leaning ones, in the US are corrupt to som extent, and usually to a severe degree

There? Are you satisfied that we’re not an echo chamber?

Except the waste water doesn’t actually have high levels of either of those, as it’s been diluted well below the safe minimums before release

Theres no actual science to back up the fears about their handling of this - just your standard “nuclear = bad and scary”

Wait till you guys find out about bananas

That’s weird, usually hexbear and lemmygrad are super active in any post about Russia, but I don’t see any here…

And you’re reinforcing mine by continuing to not actually address any of the actual points.

Pointing out actual, provable examples of selective enforcement by conservatives isn’t an “echo chamber” it’s discussing real world politics

Ultimately it looks from my perspective like you’re falling into the classic trap of just assuming that when a lot of people disagree with you, that they’re just mindlessly repeating talking points - rather than ever considering that your own view might be skewed. Further reinforced by the fact that you steadfastly refuse to actually talk about the issue, and instead just keep deflecting and crying “ECHO CHAMBER”.

And no, I have no idea who you are, why should I care though? This is a discussion about conservative politics, not you or your feelings.

Yeah Im jealous of OP that in their area that’s “hefty” in my area that would cover maybe 2 months expenses if you were being frugal, certainly it wouldn’t be “restart your career savings”

I don’t need to put any words into your mouth, your reply to the comment was to ignore all the real, objectively true examples and just claim that despite the fact that they’re the actions of real conservative policy makers, that they somehow have nothing to do with real conservative policy

You ignore the faults of real world conservatism, holding up this idealistic version of conservatism you have in your head as “real” conservatism. Ill bet you also hold that conservatism has nothing to do with anti-LGBT+, despite their policy makers constantly making anti-LGBT+ policy decisions

Spoiler: he’ll completely ignore this comment and just continue to go on saying that all criticisms of conservatives are baseless and unproductive

God forbid you not be able to shout racial slurs in a video game lobby lol

Truly oppressed

You don’t even need AI for this, a very simple easy to audit algorithm could take care of it.

Hell, have it generate a few dozen versions that are all approximately as good, and let representatives (or even better, the actual people) vote on which to use

“most efficient” depends on what you’re maximizing for

Speed?

Effort?

Potato wastage?

I’ve got no idea about the specific book case, but it also probably had a lot of hand carvings. People underestimate how much real wood carvings add to the cost of a piece of furniturw

Hell even making wood furniture yourself is expensive as hell with lumber prices as they are right now

It’s pretty distressing how many people can’t tell the difference between a joke that makes fun of disabled people, vs a joke that simply involves the concept of disabled people

I’ve never actually watched it, but my wife does, and I’ve seen enough to say you’re 100% right

Because Spotify has a free tier that still let’s you use the app and listen to music, just with ads

Absolutely no doubt. Kind of surprised no one has done a video series where you anonomize Jesus’s teachings, then read them back to conservative Christians and ask what they think about them

The results would be hilarious, no doubt

Yeah - unfortunately the days of Android phones being totally customizable down to the root level are more-or-less gone unless you specifically buy the few models of phone that still allow this sort of thing.

That ship has already sailed - I was just with my conservative uncle this last weekend when he complained that the current pope is “woke”

To these people, their political ideology is their religion

Nuh uh, I agree with him, so he’s a persom
