fuck all these 'tribalism' promotion posts, we should be finding ways to work together. Lisa, you're tearing me apart!

fuck that, mail in voting has done so much good and it's a prime step in stopping all this. if we had national mail in voting things would get better fast so no wonder they don't want it.

what would this mean for states that already do this

Never talk to the police, there are many reasons why

When you call a cab it was often a game of 'will the can actually show up?"

They've finally gone full /HailCorporate, become the thing some of the original people of the site would probably not have agreed with in many ways

don't be stupid.

The CCP is also very interested in all this

What about, and hear me out here, an internet for the people?

If we have a messily $300 million USD, or even dollary-doos I think we could do this. We already have most of the design at TheConsensusEngine.com just need either a big company with a ton of people or like 4 CS students and we can make this.

I'm %100 serious by the way, if you have the wherewithal to read that fucking page then you'll agree with me too. But I think if you don't know what a logic gate is that it may not be the paper for you. Anyone have bill gates phone number?

who cares about this? I mean if it's something he's still into yeah but teenagers will take lots of photos that are not to be taken seriously

how.. ho wwas this?

If all cops ate seven grams of magic mushies I think the world would be a much better place for everyone who has to deal with cops

Aluminimum Oxide sure is and it can be make clear, I don't know why they added the T or x connotation This article appears to be more on a new method of creating that directly out of Al. That said, "electrowetting" is the name of my new rock band, or is it the name of your sex tape?

I'd say there is a huge amount of bots, then the smart bots, then the actual shills. The smarter ones run complex operations and are able to use their own power to self propel their own stories. And there are a lot of similar 'power users' who are not wholly paid for by someone but would do work for the highest bidder. I'd bet that yes, 50% of what's on the front page of major things is reputation management or Hail Corporate stuff, then I'd wager the mostly less popular stuff is actual people, with a ton of bad posts from all sides at the low popularity

I can see that. If you're a hateful or bigoted person and you tell people about that then they like you less usually, so by not telling people about your trump support you would lose less friends

I mean he already had, and if he had capitalized on how a LOSER was going to try and LOSE again because he was a huge loser I think he might have swayed many of the minds

people like it, revenue like it, why not, maybe have the people vote on. not that texas is known as a smart place

when the food has 2 days worth of sodium in it, you get thirsty. Many people don't drink enough water so then your thirsty and have your liter-of-cola and you can down it easily at that point

that beyond brauts are pretty good actually

Do you agree that those who are tasked with upholding the law should be allowed to violate that same law with impunity?

I understand your comment but I don't see how it could overcome the above question in regard to police officers.

it's called 'online deliberation' Here is a paper on what it might include: https://deliberation.stanford.edu/tools-and-resources/online-deliberation-platform

Here is my idea on how to implement it: https://www.theconsensusengine.com/ (I'd start on page 25 at the example section)

It's a way to get people to work together by finding common ground and making the internet a friendly place not a hateful one of conflict

It can reduce loneliness by bringing people together based on shared values and interests, as well as location, so you can find a community of people who like the same things, and find a community in your own community to make our localities stronger and more united.

it can be a way to stop and greatly reduce misinformation and the idea that it takes much more work to refuse lies than to make them, but keeping an list of arguments on both sides and letting the consensus based on evidence emerge

it can advance science and the knowledge base of all humans by creating a chain of trust with links, so reproducible things and empirical facts are are stronger and more impactful. This will help find answers in currently unknown directions while also reducing or eliminating the publish or perish model of science. If someone is found to have lied then all their contributions going backwards are effected so that the emergent consensus always works towards truth

it can force hypocrites like almost all republicans and religiousnuts to be faced with their own judgements on their own actions, based on how other people interpret their statements and evidence. This can show delusional people not only that they are wrong, but where they went wrong so they can be aware and try and correct it.

With a huge amount of money to create it and also to give away we can make people want to contribute and use the system because they stand to benifit from it

and it can act as an agora and planning department for all human kind on a multigeneration level where decisions are based on evidence and desire. this along may allow something like this idea to take ahold and be the source of progress for society into the future, because what we are doing now is not working.
