I am trying to focus on posting source documents, as opposed to someone else’s reporting on source documents.

Because you clearly do not know what that term means.
Wrong guy.
Those revelations came to light last night when former Missouri Representative Shamed Dogan (R-Ballwin) tweeted out a screenshot showing the unofficial candidate filing list for governor posted to the Secretary of State’s website. On it, Darrell Leon McClanahan III’s name sits atop more well-known GOP contenders like Mike Kehoe and Jay Ashcroft.
I am right now sitting on a Steelcase Series 1, and while it doesn’t have great lumbar support, it is far better than any shitty $150 “gaming” chair, and is right in your price range brand new.
Why have I never seen this before?

Ellen Pao.
That’s so reddit.

Silencing propaganda is how it expands more.
You cannot stop propaganda. Some of it will always get in. Banning the position being propagandized demands that observers choose sides. Some portion of those people are going to actively seek out the propaganda message to “make an educated decision” (bOtH sIdEs) Some portion of those people are going to buy into the propaganda.
On the other hand, if propaganda is not silenced, the response will be one of showing it to be bunk. This would serve to make the propaganda less effective. Yes, some people will still buy into it, but fewer people than if it had been silenced.
Think about it like scam emails. You can see by the awful grammar and spelling and nonsense email address that it’s bullshit. The people who respond don’t. They are more likely to fall for it. Silencing propaganda in one place doesn’t silence it everywhere, but it does focus its message to people who are more likely to fall for it. They can then strengthen each other’s belief by association, and begin expanding on their own.
It’s why the big picture is that it’s one giant propaganda machine, but when you look closer, it’s a bunch of loosely or unrelated local “cells,” operating independently. Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Patriot Front, plenty of others nobody had heard of, and the (as yet) less violent collections like Tea Party, Freedom Caucus.
It is far better to answer propaganda than to silence it, but we do all have to agree, as individuals, that that’s what we do. The far-right has already decentralized, and reasonable people need to do the same thing. You don’t have to be a registered Democrat, you don’t have to approve of Biden; you can still contribute to having decisions in government made on the basis of objective reality. You may still not like the decisions made, but your differences will be political ones, and not ones of fact (for the most part).
Luckily, all it takes is standing up for your principles.
7·9 months agoNot since they shut down API access. Now it’s obvious why they did that.
The only way Microsoft or OpenAI would know this would be to spy on chatbot sessions. I’m sure the terms of service—if I bothered to read them—gives them that permission.
Well there’s your problem.
2·9 months agoI was so confused for a moment.
While that’s not strictly a Guy Fawkes mask, holy shit does the non-blurred version get even stupider. It’s like the people who picked the image for the story thought, “Even we can’t put up something that stupid.”
I haven’t even gotten to the text of the story, because I was stopped in my tracks by the stupidest stock photo I have ever seen, wherein someone in full riot gear with an ultra-modern machine pistol is prepared to shoot someone at point blank range, when they’re already in handcuffs, which are, inexplicably, in front and not behind. And how cold is it in that basement that you’d be working while wearing a hoodie (with the hood up, of course) and a jacket zipped up over it?
I mean, it was a Black Lives Mystery march.
Before they shut down the APIs, I deleted all my posts and edited all my comments.
Spez doesn’t get to profit from me anymore. And hopefully I’m poisoning the well.
A few days ago, I’d sent you a note to volunteer to assist with any non-development “stuff” that I could take off your plate. That stands.
