  • It's just a demonstration of the 90-9-1 idea

  • The first criminal trial is March 2024, election in November. I don't think he'll be in jail before the election, and it's hard to know what is going to happen, but he might win.

  • I think it's ok for people to want to protect themselves and are not willing to die on the sword. Maybe not in this situation, but in general. Maybe if whistleblowers had more protections.

  • I think people who've only ever known reddit/instagram/twitter will find it dull, but this is still a relatively active place with quality users and mods.

    The bigger and more reddit-like it gets the harder it will be to moderate and the more expensive it will be to run. Things are fine right now.

  • Regurgitating Fox news talking points is also typical. Literally incapable of critical thinking.

  • I might give the first few episodes a try and then go ahead and skip season 1 if I'm not liking it. I've done that before and then by the time I finish the series I "want more" so I go back and rewatch the seasons I didn't like as much and end up being grateful they exist.

  • I don't think that's the point they're trying to make. A corrupt bastard is a corrupt bastard, there is no immunity.

  • If everyone followed this advice no one would pursue any career. All of them are traps in their own way, but it beats being a [job no one wants to do]

  • They sent them out randomly. The flaw with this poll is same flaw with any polling. Personally anything I receive in the mail that isn't a bill or a birthday card doesn't even get opened. It would be nice if they explained more about the sample they collected. Average age, location, gender, political party.

  • I had a glance and didn't see anything but I'm not investigative reporter and it's hard to tell without spending a lot of time on it. One of the founders ran as a conservative and is now on the board. It's probably in their interest (they are public/in stock market) to conduct good surveys, but to also generate data which would be of interest to conservative leaning organizations. That's my guess. Their articles may be misleading though, since those would be more promotional/marketing material of the data they want to sell.

  • Totally random, but I came across this site yesterday, just the blog part.. You aren't alone in the struggle. This is the tag line:

    "Helping Techie Introverts Who Struggle Socially"

    (site)[https://socialconfidencemastery.com/blog/]

    And then back on topic... If you just mean talking to women then I think those are just called social skills? Charm? Idk, I don't see it as masculinity. Being assertive can be part of being charming or skilled in social situations, high 'eq' or whatever.

    My dad's generation (the boomers) are retiring now and from what I can tell it seems like without work they are a wreck. That's what shutting down emotions and traditional masculinity gets you, IMO.

  • My interest in upbeat movies has never been very high. If it were a thriller or mystery that'd be cool. I'd watch. It's ok we can pass on this one.

  • Woke has taken on a meaning of pretty much anything that could be seen as disrupting the nuclear family, heterosexuality, masculinity, and religion. Stuff that conservatives value. The term has been used as a catch all, so if you're using it you're not saying anything other than 'I'm conservative and think masculinity is important'. They aren't dangerous ideas to anyone but conservatives, which is fine. You do you. And others will do what they choose, like they have every right to do.

    Authoritarianism seems to come more from making ideas illegal, especially when it's about imposing values on others through law. Eg. the Taliban.

  • I'd ask him for a follow up by seems like he's just repeating himself so I don't think I'll bother. The claim is outrageous and needs some deeper explanation by OP.
