3. Assuming UBI has any negative impact on the value of the dollar, the fall in financial mobility you have from constantly, let's say "messing up" and losing your benefit every month would be greatly devastating. This wouldn't be a new group of people though, this would be the same homeless people we see today.

I read a few years ago that there's more history happening than historians can keep up with. Scary thoughts

Well for instance, I only use Twitter for news/activism. it's not aligned for anything else

Seems reasonable

I think news takes more of a front seat these days. Lots of history in the making.

The left has abandoned the pursuit of equality (equality of opportunity) for the pursuit of equity (equality of outcome), but now the left is changing the definition of "equality" to mean the definition of equity. It's an Orwellian game of doublespeak and they're good at it.

Don't forget the DMs of all these accounts. That could be very valuable information.

An old CS professor: Efficiency with computers, effectiveness with people.

Was thinking about a dating app where you only get to reveal a few photos/ability to message after answering a short multiple choice quiz managed by the user. The questions can be arbitrary but the point is that the pursued gets to control which pursuer can get to their profile via question navigation. This could help throw off unwanted pursuers.

I'll admit I don't know anything about Gab, but I'm not picking up "nazi/white supremacist site" from their storefront.

https://gab.com/

Regardless, it's embarrassing how careless the political-left, whatever you want to call them, carelessly use the terms nazi, racist, white supremacist, etc.

You mean calling all conservatives and Republicans racists, Nazis and fascists doesn't make sense?

Almost like being a police officer?

Reminds me of learning Vim

Literally nobody is trying to stop the protesters. Literally nobody. I can't find anyone who doesn't agree that George was murdered. Hell, I have old seemingly racist family members who agree with that. It's the arsonist, rioters and murderers who are empowered by this new Anarchy Trojan Horse that we're trying to stop, and we will succeed. If you can't see that difference then you'll be blind during this insurrection.

I couldn't imagine someone being against a police Union and also supporting civilian unions. They serve the same purpose. I also can't imagine a sane person thinking we don't need the police, unless you're also supporting a highly armed population (which, I am.)

> With great power comes great responsibility, so the saying goes.

So you acknowledge that it's difficult, terrifying, unpopular and requires great reasonability, but offer nothing for a solution. What good is your comment?

The police job is more stress than any content moderator on social media, because the police are living the content that gets moderated. They're subjected to immense violence because average citizens need protection from criminals.

Once again, do you have any decent solution or do you plan to just add to the stress of this critical and thankless job?

I'm against Antifa and am afraid to admit this in PDX, for my own safety. Left wing politics is becoming just as fascist as right wing politics used to be.

I suppose you would be in favor of a Minority Report type of world, where our truth machine will tell us verifiably that you will commit crime in the future, thus we should preemptively arrest. Surely it's never wrong!

I think people are missing a few big points.

1) It's extremely difficult being a cop

2) It's extremely terrifying being a cop

3) It's extremely unpopular being a cop

It boggles me every time I hear people say cops need "stricter requirements" and "less pay" but never hear anyone volunteering to join the force and make real change. Look around, how many white knights want to be a cop?

The videos from Thursday/Friday night Minneapolis shape my framework for these riots, not the supposed abuse to protesters and reporters. IMO, given the circumstances, the cops overall have been very civil while taking an onslaught of verbal and even physical abuse. And don't get me wrong, I'm not ignoring police abuse and brutality.

The use case would let me be a lot more handsfree.

Really? The recognition has worked pretty well for me and people I know.

I'm also very against it, but I'm not convinced they don't already have whatever data they'd gain from using the assistant.

So you're suggesting I embrace the tech?

I think I'll do this. I don't feel like I can reasonably protect myself from data-snooping companies, whether I use their products or not.

It would. I would learn to use it for everything I could. Setting timers with voice will be a big one for me. Changing music, hanging calling/hanging up the phone.

I understand the utility, I had a friend with a HomePod who used Siri for everything and I became jealous of how smoothly he used it to his benefit. I just don't see how in the future my voice is going to be protected. If I don't use it, they'll probably still have my voice.

Funny enough, I looked at my local meetups and the biggest one is run by a woman. It's probably a good idea anyway.

I love freedom more than most things but our government being incompetent isn't really related. This is clearly a States issue.

Yes and thank goodness, I would hate living in oppressive Australia.

I'm always ignored when I ask for help. Being a person who "takes it like a man" in a sense, as in absorbs these problems for greater overall execution, I'm always ignored when I bring up my problems. "Tough shit" is the general attitude. Unless I'm highly expressive or emotional nobody takes it seriously. But if I'm being that emotional it's already too late.

Yes unfortunately Americans have rights and our federal government doesn't have authority to micro-manage our life like a Sim game. So sad.

"It doesn't fit here" and "vibe" are in your head, none of that was ever discussed. The mod said "it doesn't belong here because it's not related to Portland" which is objectively false. As in, factually wrong. And I never said I would "do it anyway", I was trying to find a title that satisfied the mod.

I'm tired of this conversation anyway, just another corrupt person in power bending rules for their own favor, covering up injustice, lying to affirm their position, and creeping on people cross-social media. I would even bet you and your mod pals have put me on some kind of watch list. It's disgusting and shameful really, and I'll be calling out moments like this as long as the law lets me.

My post objectively didn't break any rules on /r/portland.

Which rule is "vibe" again?

Thanks for looking into my Reddit post creep, I feel totally weird about you now.
