It's social satire; it's *about* rationalization. It's *for* rationalization.

That person likes Trump because of hatreds they have in common. Not because he's a likable guy.

AI is a nightmare for the arts, science, culture in general, but especially for freedom--it will be used to create deepfakes for social control. How could it NOT be misused during college exams?

It's not an echo chamber. Just has more intelligent people.
But there are right wingers here and libertarians (who are way right, but don't always admit it)

Okay but it might be Newsom, is all I'm saying. I don't mean to put you in a carton with the shit heads--you're a good, smart person, who's angry and I get that anger. I'm angry all the damn day--have been since November.

But you said you wouldn't vote for a guy like Newsom. I'm saying that's like people who didn't vote for Harris. She's more liberal than he is (lately) but still he'd be a thousand times better than a Trumpie. So we have to vote for whoever is going to get democracy back on track and stop ICE and etc
