This is true on algorithmic platforms that reward “engagement” of any kind. I didn’t get that sense from pre 2010 Facebook or Twitter and I don’t get that sense on fediverse platforms.

It’s not a binary question but a good opener would be to ask the panel what AI tools they use. That would also help to set the expectations of the audience for the level of follow up questions.

What kind of fees are you paying? That chart does not reflect the market. For instance, if you had invested in a low management fee S&P 500 index find you would expect to have seen a 50% increase over the same period.

I called out ShareMySims specifically for making woke-bigoted statements in the original thread about these ghost clowns. Maybe narrow-progressive is a better term.

Either way, I 100% agree that dressing up as ghosts to go and vote is a stupid thing to do.

Do you have any evidence this was election interference? If not, this is speculation and a conspiracy theory.

A stance can be both woke and bigoted. One example that COP exhibited is assuming that US race relations are universal around the world. It’s often from well meaning folks that just have a very narrow perspective.

Just admit when you’re wrong and stop the woke-bigotry

It’s scary how quickly people assume conspiracy

I’m not arguing they should be wearing masks in a polling station

I think it’s reasonable to expect people in a voting location to be clearly visible and recognizable

I agree (in most cases). I’m arguing that these folks are more likely stupid than malicious.

By that logic the Pope and the Michelin man look like a members of the KKK

This is a bit of hyperbole. If there where trying to intimidate voters they wouldn’t dress up like ghosts. Stay vigilant but didn’t label everything as a conspiracy, some people are just stupid.

edit: I don’t live in the US but I have spent a lot of time there. The vast majority of Americans are great people. From an outside perspective, it’s a little disturbing to see how quickly this thread devolved into conspiracy. Hanlon’s razor and all that. Focus on the many actual threats to US democracy instead of paranoid ghost hunting.

Lol, I think that was BTKFS but maybe I should switch just to be safe

I normally use ext4 or btrfs and I like my wife so I won’t make the switch

Just solve Hilbert’s problem and post the proof here. Then people will think the LLM solved the problem 🤣

So pot plants have somewhere to die

Yeah, I’m sure it’s for auditing and being able to respond to freedom of information requests etc

I’m sorry about your grandmother. Given she had a stocked liquor cabinet for guests shows she was a thoughtful person. I hope you found some great memories in her belongings.
