We need to re-evaluate the strawman in the context of internet discourse. It's a fallacy in 1v1 debate, yes.
But it's the internet. Groups collectively have bad ideas, and we want to address those groups.
Make a MAGA hat guy in wrap around shades say something stupid, that's a strawman.

But remember: Both sides bad. Two Party sucks. Vote for nobody until Perfect Candidate comes along or a bloody revolution built on perfect policies for me...but someone else has to do the bloody revolution, not me. I'm too lazy to research a candidate for nuances like staff picks, let alone vote.

The title may not seem it, but I promise you, this is soul healing, wholesome, and eye-opening. Shows it all stems from feeling vulnerable, what media they are drawn too, and bad actors preying on them.
Don't blame what they watch. Don't bully those that watch it. That drives them to bad actors.

Wow...I've like, run the thought experiment in my head: "What would I do first if I was elected to a political authority?"
And I always thought "Being EXTREMELY public facing about naming everyone working for me" is a great step for transparency and accountability.
And this guy is doing that?!

I feel like everyone "says" they agree with this, but when it happens, people get pissed.
Especially the "Paid More to Work Less" part because that might mean a game being """"Over Priced"""

That put the SCARIEST SPIDER CONTENT IN GAMES! Only reinforcing fear!

My CuisinArt Burr Mill I got from my Great Aunt just stopped working in a strange way.
Inspired by @techconnectify.bsky.social, I decided to open it. Maybe it's simple inside.
Still no clue what's wrong, but I'm curious, and I'm in the Chicago Area. I'd donate this for a Coffee Grinders episode.

Is Andor Pro-Billionaire because some billionaires helped organize and fund the Rebel Alliance while using their privileged station to avoid immediate consequences from the Fascist Government for pushing anti-fascist rhetoric?
I guess it comes down to if their New Republic has aims to tax the rich.
