That's actually really good thing. In the U.S. not wanting to kill trans people makes you a "far left" person according to right-wingers. real "far left" people are pretty nuts, man. The vast majority of us are moderates who are now labeled as "far left" in the U.S. political discourse.

Why would anyone want to be his lawyer at this point? The cases against him have overwhelming evidence. You can't even do it for the money cuz Trump will probably not pay you. I guess the only lawyers who would do it just want their 15 minutes of fame and the right-wing lunatics as your future client pool.

The head wobble doesn't have one simple meaning.

I worked for many years with someone from south India and he would do the head wobble so over the years he tried to explain it. I still don't fully understand it. Haha

Yeah, right-wingers are trying to suppress people being educated about this part of American history. They don't want people to sympathize with the victims of the slavery era.

It was an awful time and we as a nation need to do better.

Yep this is the truth. The vast majority of users just go there and scroll and click through stuff. They don't really care. They were inconvenienced by the blackout and want it back to normal.

The real consequences are that a significant chunk of the active and power users have left the site now.

I haven't deleted my reddit account either. I have definitely noticed that my feed on reddit has less interesting content now.

People who are afraid vote for someone they perceive as strong. Thus you'll see that right-wing media and politicians are constantly trying to instill fear in people. They want their voters to think that their way of life is under attack and there are enemies everywhere. The only one they can count on is their fearless leader to save them!

I can't remember, are conservatives for or against "cancel culture?"

Post more content here and help make it less boring. More content will attract more users, which will result in more content. We need to grow the community.

The Republican party serves the rich. Poor Republican voters are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires so they are cool with suffering themselves as long as other poor people are suffering. Other people deserve to suffer because of skin color, religion, "laziness", or whatever, so they keep voting to cut services for themselves.

Be aware that browsers saving passwords usually store them in some plain text or trivially decipherable format. So someone with physical access to your drive can steal all your passwords, basically.

Remember that in an interview, they mentioned that they used fake accounts early on to control the discourse on Reddit.

Not saying I have any proof they are doing that now, but it does show what they are willing to do to control the platform.

Social media recommendation algorithms. They are too good at showing people what they want to see. They are largely at fault for causing social media to devolve into echo chambers and radicalizing people.
