To assert dominance?

I guess one should doubt any convictions coming from the holy spirit because how can you be certain it's not your own convictions. /s

If Newsom is our best hope then we are fucked. The guy thinks if the throws enough minorities under the bus the rest of the country will forget he is a Democrat from California.

I wonder how many Republicans would be unseated with rank choice voting....

The more overworked people are the more willing they are to take intellectual shortcuts and not think independently. One of those shortcuts is to mistake a contrarian opinion as independent thought. Throw in a contrarian leader into an economy where people are overworked and this is the result.

And sometimes even little girls.

Judging from the YouTube comments they are hitting their mark. Lots of people mistaking being contrarian for being independent though, like in the case of COVID vaccines and makes wearing.

Reminds me of the adage:

No one chooses to be stupid

This video refines the idea to say stupidity isn't a psychological phenomenon but a problem that is constructed by society.

If media bubbles didn't dominate the landscape they would see common cause with the farm workers who also don't like breathing pesticides when working in the fields.

As t the very least we are entitled to see the complete Epstein files.

But not by the white people.

They're asking for access to the voting machines. I'm sure there is nothing to worry about here. /s

Imagine being married to someone who is openly a Nazi and you are like: "it's not a deal breaker". And then your neighbors reward you with a political office.

Acting with "unreasonable disproportionate aggression" is not going to make them safer.

So you are able to not be intentionally obnoxious. I honestly wasn't sure.

There's a difference between seeing and perceiving. If you see AI slop and don't see how it is different than something crafted by a human expert, that is a problem of one's perception.

1. How Generative AI is framed by the industry is an affront to humanistic values.

2. It's not even close to consciousness. For those of us who understand how these things work it's almost an insult to make the comparison.

3. All the other unethical considerations mentioned elsewhere by others (stealing art, water usage, politics).

Once used bananas so ripe the bread was turning into alcohol

The immigration courts happen to be directly ran by the executive branch. They're firing any judge who isn't onboard.

Many restaurants are allowed to pay their employees below minimum wage. They expect tips to fill that gap.
