Glad it's going to be recorded, wonder what the acoustics would be like in a place like that?

Across the whole world, any country with democratic elections it seems

It's a lot of work, give them time

It's ramping up absolutely everywhere.

Even in niche hobby subreddits (the only subs I still use) keep shoehorning political takes. The trolls and bots are cranking it up everywhere, it's like they want it to be inescapable

Who would have thought the lying criminal predator guy would lie?

Even with the effed up immunity ruling, this all happened after he was president...

He's right, the real story should be how badly CNN shit the bed with how they handled this debate. They basically let Trump run wild, didn't challenge or correct him.

And all rveryone can talk about was how energetic trump was, and how Biden "stumbled" etc. The coverage is way more appalling than the actual debate. Hell even in Canada the media is running stories about how Biden 'lost' the debate and "time to panic!" Despite Trump making no sense and lying 100% of the time.

What in the fuck is happening here?

Sorry, I think I did misread your comment, apologies.

I do realize it's growing in popularity, I am not suggesting anyone hide their head in the sand, though.

I was trying to say that this narrative of "were doomed" and "theyre both bad choices" feeds into this problem. Its more false equivalency, and discourages voting. I realize you weren't saying this, and that this IS what people are saying. But I still find it gobsmacking that people are seriously saying it's hard to choose.

Any leftist who doesn't vote against a facist far-right candidate like Trump is pretty shit at being a leftist.

Well kind of (it's addressed in the video)

It depends if you think lying is a big deal. If you don't think brazenly lying is a big deal what is wrong with you?

I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but it's easy to choose the better of two choices here. Debate or not, how is it even a question who to vote for when one guy is openly a fascist?

Employment is not a right? Well if we continue with a capitalist system and give most people no way to earn a living, we will need something to replace jobs for most people. We should not merely accept that it sucks and let things go to shit. We could pass laws limiting the use of AI or protecting workers, or providing basic income...

Whatever we do we had better figure it out soon, though.

But the difference I think is this isn't just affecting a few niche industries (horses, carts and their associated care). AI is going to replace a huge, huge chunk of the workforce with no new jobs created to replace them. Even in the industrial revolution there were new jobs created - shittier jobs, but jobs. This is different.

Ok, but acting like you can't trust any sources of info on anything is pretty destructive also. There are still some fairly reliable sources out there. Dismiss everything and you're left with conspiracy theories.

It is stealing lots of potential work and income from professional creatives, though.

Or even

Its true. I mean its possible, but with facebook involved? I feel a mistake is way more unlikely

One candidate is openly planning to install himself as a violent authoritarian dictator. Voting against that is in fact important?

The hardware and corporate practises i would agree, (especially the hardware - extra shitty considering its aimed at families and kids and it wears out so fast)

But I have to disagree about the games. Their flagship games are consistently very good (so long as you're a fan of the genres).
