You aren't refuting what he's saying you're just trying to change the subject.

If you audit every election after they are done, what is the danger of using electric voting machines ?

every single election in the US is subject to a complete audit after the fact. counting quickly and verifying accurately after the fact are not mutually exclusive.

I only know him from clips, when he brought someone on that explained why January 6 was a crime, Lex immediately slumped back in his chair and pushed back with a non sequitur "the media has lied before".

Disappointing that the one guy everyone holds up as neutral, curious party is just another partisan.

Neither does a virus

That is the right wing perspective, yes. And i'm sure PC is used at times cynically to deflect real criticism, that doesn't change the origins or original meaning I described. This alongside "wokeness" is simply acknowledging how much of our everyday speech and action rob certain members of society of their voice and agency, and trying to address it. Addressing it is a hard and imprecise process, but it's worth doing imo.

If even it engenders a near constant stream of culture war backlash. America wasn't great for far too many Americans in the past, that needs to change.

Twitter also used to suspend API keys seemingly at random, making research data on Twitter nearly impossible.

> I would've told you (maybe a few years later) "political correctness" in the U.S. started as an ironic term among lefty types with a sense of humor about their own milieu, which resonated more widely and got taken as ammunition and shortened to "PC" by more righty culture warriors.

Similar to "woke". A term used with semi-seriousness, later coopted and weaponized by political opponents.

Soviet "political correctness" was about protecting the state from any criticism, American "political correctness" is about understanding systems of oppression from the standpoint of the oppressed.

Couldn't be more different.

> when expanding an alliance in a time of peace

Why did countries join NATO in peacetime?

A verbal agreement is worth nothing. If such an actual stipulation were to have occured, not only would it have to be actually written down (obvious), but ratified by both NATO and the US Congress.

To state the obvious, no such thing occured.

Taibbi admitted he was wrong on Ukraine because there's no other way to spin it, he was out of options. He's still giving his new and largely right wing audience what it wants:

"Elon isn't right wing, give me one example of that"

- Endorsed Ron desantis

- Told everyone to vote Republican

- Tweeted out "I am a Republican"

> The incentives are therefore essentially the same. Money talks.

Are you implying the NYT never publishing anything that upsets their readership? Every week #CancelNYT trends because they "platformed" something their left wing audience didn't like.

Even Fox News lost viewers because they dared declare the 2020 election free and fair, and in favor of Biden.

Yes, during the cold war. When there were no rules and 2 countries did whatever they could to counter the other.

What is your evidence such a system exists today?

Also some news media actually reports on events that hurts the cause of their collective political leanings, some just don't. This isn't apples to apples.

No, there are several contractions here:

> intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public

persuasion is not misinforming is not misleading.

Seems like a cynical take by someone that knows what they watch is largely fake, and they want to apply the same rules to the other side so they feel better about their exclusivity to confirmation bias enabling programming.

> literal mountains of sociological studies

Which ones prove systemic, deliberate deception?

If the search product still isn't good enough, why would a ChatGPT panel make the difference? You can always pull up ChatGPT in another tab.

Exactly. Since when do we as a society punish BS?

Are you implying that there are no homeless people in Europe? Or problems with poverty or access to healthcare?

This also means creation of billion dollar global platforms that Europe and other parts of the world have never accomplished. Trade offs.

Yeah, when's the last time that happened? Oh, 70 years ago.

Somebody listened to Joe Rogan's podcast last week.

They sent me home with a solution to eat away at the wax, then tried again with the machine 2 weeks later.

Doctor said he sees this all the time, and ear buds are to blame.

AirPods Pro are in ear, they compound the issue of earwax on your outer ear into a worse problem. That's according to me ear doctor, feel free to argue further with me but that's what he said.

so the timer only begins when you are in a certain jurisdiction? That seems unenforceable..

I think it's more a case of constant ear bud usage packing in the wax and concentrating it. It got so bad for me, even the water tool they have at my doctor's office didn't work to remove it.

Be careful, my ear doctor said these things cause wax build up and create problems in the long term, not just hearing.

statute of limitations?
