@UROCKlive1@reedgalen@JoeTrippi The primary reason for this is to help us reduce bots and make sure the platform is being used by actual people - the whole point is to help people develop reputations so that you don't have to engage with a bunch of trolls and bad-faith actors.
@nathanbreedlov1@HistoryBoomer I love the notion of "gossip fuels". Like - we could power the entire 3rd world on the strength of the gibberish that people post on this platform, alone!!
“Because solar doesn't work at night either (nonexistent) battery storage…”
Batteries are non existent? We have batteries! We can charge them! This is ubiquitous technology! I can buy a solar powered battery for my portable devices from Amazon for $30.

@HistoryBoomer Their imagination just doesn't stretch to recognize that they're in the pot and the pot is on the stove and it WILL boil if something isn't done to change that trajectory.
@HistoryBoomer And the only reason people don't grasp that he's an aspiring autocrat is because nothing like this has ever happened here and they just don't know what signs to look for and are oblivious of history.
@ElectroDeeJ How about a religion that says every person you come in contact with - no matter whom - is to be preserved at any cost - regardless of their actions or background? That would work a lot better than what they conjured. A LOT better.
@ElectroDeeJ The religions that have had us trying to annihilate one another for thousands of years are programs to "prevent" said conflict? These are some spectacularly inept alien creators. I can think of 15 fictions in as many seconds that would be much more effective to this end.
@JamesSurowiecki I'm not a fan of Vivek and he's not saying what he *should be saying but I'll say it for him. The interview clip presents him with a false binary (inside job or gov is telling the truth). He should say "there's an option C". 🤷♂️
@bstewart1776 Right - so - is abstaining from the pledge a "criticism"?
If the analogy is family - is the pledge saying "I love you"? I can't imagine a situation where my criticism of my family members precludes me from saying "I love you". That's not a "criticism".
@bstewart1776 And it would make sense to me if America had ventured into a state of Germany 1939 (or whatnot) but America is, by most measures, doing its best to follow through on its ideals (today, more than ever, I think).
@bstewart1776 I am not sure that I love America "more than any other country" but I think that it's childish and peevish to not express appreciation if, indeed, you *do feel that appreciation (in whatever fashion).
@delrossi_matt@mjkabir@mysteriouskat "veiled threat"?
If what I wrote is landing as a threat of any kind then one of us is doing something really wrong in this conversation. It's not interesting enough for me to figure out which one so I'll just politely demure and wish you well.
Cheers.
