Could we shut this discussion down or move it to a different thread? It seems like nobody here can handle it and it never goes anywhere without devolving into horrible flame wars and completely consuming the thread.

Killer robot posted:Much like the electoral politics thread, the I/P thread has a smaller audience and more rigorously enforced rules against snarky gotcha posting and low-content venting. Many find it to be a higher risk, lower reward environment as a result. This thread is unreadable and completely useless as soon as either one of those derails happen.

Discendo Vox posted:No, half the country does not have to stop existing. The normal process of politics and representation needs to be brought to bear on the general consensus among the population that gun control is necessary. You do not need to catastrophize this or present it as futile. Gun control happened once in America and it was working until America decided it didn't like it

There are cameras almost literally everywhere that humans are now. We would almost certainly have caught aliens clearly on camera in HD if they had visited Earth. We haven't, and so there is no more reason to believe in alien visitation than angels.

Shooting Blanks posted:I've been saying for awhile that this administration has been far too weak at publicizing their successes, and that failure is only magnified by how often they've tried to work behind the scenes rather than overtly. As has been pointed out many times, one of the smartest things Trump did was put his name on the COVID relief checks. People remember that poo poo. People have incredibly short memories and only care about whatever the current drama is. Nobody gives a poo poo about the Biden admin's successes because in general a successful government is boring.

Shammypants posted:The data suggests that young people basically only use Tiktok, Snapchat, Instagram and Youtube (if you can call it social media). That's it. That's coming from 44% using Facebook in 2012. Tiktok content creators are on another level of reporting and information sharing. Take for example vaccine denialism. The doctors on TikTok who combated misinformation were simply better than any other platform anywhere in any form. That's one a million examples. TikTok is profoundly responsible. I think Xiahou Dun was asking for actual evidence.

Charliegrs posted:Is it really anticompetitive for a company to have it's fingers in so many pies? Because I always thought anticompetitive meant a company buys out all it's competitors. As far as I know there's still plenty of music streaming services and movies studios besides Apple. But maybe I'm missing something. It's anticompetitive to use a dominant market share to leverage yourself artificially into other markets. Apple is extremely anticompetitive
