billionaire-proof refers to someone being able to buy control of it and dictate the moderation policy (i.e. twitter, WaPo, etc...) not that billionaires would be banned from it.

It is... and it will slowly change over time as you grow and learn. but changing value priorities should come from real learnings and not everyday whimsy. Anyone who even pauses to consider what their values might be, already has a good head on their shoulders. No pressure, you're doing just fine!

I have a rather conservative friend who is an incredibly principled person but some topics he values libertarian stances (we shouldn't censor people) and some topics family values (this particular speech threatens the community). Both are noble stances to take, but he chooses based on politics.

One thing I've learned is that after you figure out what your values are, you then have to put them in priority order... because sometimes they conflict. If the way you resolve them changes from day to day, you can choose anything you prefer and still be true to your values.

classic. I still long for this era of social media

Senator Booker, what is stopping you from introducing a law that they must identify themselves and can’t cover their badges right now? You could do that now right? This seems like a good non-partisan law that would have broad American support. Why wait to make it an election issue?

I think if you do this you need to give it a marketing name that indicates the protocol (like “E2E encryption“ or similar) so that people can start to differentiate what you are doing is different than what other platforms do when they slurp up contact books. It’s clear people just can’t tell.

Isaac then joked, “I was like, ‘F*** it, I’m gonna do music now.’ But instead of music, I did ska.”

Such a good joke.

The important thing about ska bands is that it gave band nerds and people who couldn’t play any instrument but could dance a path to becoming cool rock stars

wow. this guy has Casey Kasem's voice...

White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean is a also stable (NoFX)

I always wondered why it wasn’t a watermelon mascot…

Their menu is maddening. Changes often and things you like will disappear forever to be replaced by odd specialty items. The fish burger randomly turned into salmon burger. You can get a burger set with "potato fries" (wedges) or chicken nuggets but not with "french fries" which are normal fries

Mine still does... I typically use the chipotle hot sauce for fries and nuggets.

This is just payback for when LDP leaders were being called "radical right" despite their policies being (let me just check my notes here...) more immigration, more women in the workforce, and uh... Cool Biz I guess?

What… Shohei was like 16 when you posted this?

I love that they snuck a cigarette, jack-o-lantern, and various beer bottles into the kanji

You should show him all of the videos on this channel. They are. Slow paced but I really enjoy watching them. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RjbJ...

Sorry you're getting shit on. I wish we (collectively) were better at not forming circular firing squads. Noah Smith (don't @ me people... I know not everyone is a fan) just had a post that also touches on the way social media pushes people to extremism as well. www.noahpinion.blog/p/after-trum...
