One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

I would like media that only ever reinforces my ideological perceptions in the most tediously didactic way possible rather than seeking to either entertain or challenge me, and will pass this off as insightful criticism.

a lot of people who talk about getting away from only listening to the opinions of college educated people are in fact listening to the opinions of second generation people with PhDs writing books to reconcile their ideological beliefs with their desire to be "of the people"

Sort of like a list of "radically heterodox" political stances is, more often than not, actually just a list of the most mid reactionary centrist orthodoxies imaginable

As a former pretentious little shit who grew out of it, rationalists (et al) annoy the piss out of me because they are adults with the mentality of tweens - they are somehow still convinced they are the greatest geniuses who have ever walked the earth. It is the worldview of an arrogant baby.

Like, President Bernie would still have had to deal with Senator Manchin. No amount of sepiroth posting can change that. Biden might also have been better off juicing the economy a little bit *less* but nobody knew the vaccines would be that good at the time.

Edit of '30 Rock' "We count those meme" from Season 2 episode titled "Subway Hero" (Episode 12). In the episode, Jack Donaghy (played by Alec Baldwin) is speaking to Kenneth Parcell (played by Jack McBrayer). 

The screenshot has been edited with "That's [Democratic] we count those"

Very indirectly, but to OP's point, these just aren't the sorts of things you can anticipate clearly in advance, so reducing them to "just the training data" seems obscurantist to me. Yes there's a causal chain from how they were trained to what they did, but it's very unpredictable.

Trump is apparently a choose-your-own-adventure politician to these people. He told you what he would do in his second term. He said he would do mass deportations. He said that he would slap massive tariffs on other countries. He said that he would go on a revenge spree. You just didn't believe him!

I was hoping he would learn from the first time. All politicians lie and tell you what you want to hear. But I voted for him because he was something different. He spoke the truth. He spoke what was on his mind. That’s what appealed the first time. I was hoping the second time around, he learned something from his mistakes and learned something from, OK, now I know how to really fix this and it’s not going to be the same old, same old. I felt like I was just picking the lesser of two evils. I went with the one that I was in line with more as far as economics. And was thinking that he would fix those, which doesn’t seem to be the case.

Bankers and financiers say that Trump's victory has empowered those who felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger

colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people.

"I feel liberated," said a top banker. "We can say 'retard' and 'pussy' without the fear of getting cancelled... it's a new dawn."

My point is that healthcare is not a free market, hasn't been for a long time, and this is one reason health insurance is a lot more necessary than other kinds: You can't just look at risk of loss times probability of loss versus premiums, the discounts alone make health insurance essential.

As a Pro-M4A liberal, almost no one in the M4A space seems be honest, or perhaps even aware, about the fact that Medicare has numerous individual financing mechanisms, like Part B premiums and Late Enrollment Penalty (LEP) fees.
