Exactly, for me it's just a glorified stack overflow.

> There was a shocking slip of quality in the last 2 years at all of these.

The timeline seems to be coinciding with a certain event that happened in 2023

> I find the quality and mostly left wing bias in the current state unacceptable

Except when it comes to current geopolitics that is, now we're talking delusionally right wing bias. wink wink

> The UK may not be perfect but no one’s going to complain if you compare the Prime Minister or the King to a cartoon bear.

But if you compare Zionism to another eerily similar 20th century europe ism, a lot of people will, indeed, complain.

> We have people from every political spectrum here and they don't get banned, how can it be an echo chamber?

I mean sure, they may not get banned, but start voicing an opinion that it even moderately against the status quo and you get downvoted to oblivion.

It's not US vs China. It increasingly looks like China VS a conglomerate of multi national companies with foreign born billionaire CEOs whose HQs happen to be located in the USA.

> Why don't you ask (it about) the kids at timn square, was fashion the reason, why were they there?

Western models have been proven to be heavily censored, under the guise of fighting antisemitism for example.

Other than, irrational, comical western propaganda, not much no.

> He stood on the shoulders of Persian, Greek, Indian, and Chinese precursors, while Renaissance inventors, in turn, stood on his.

This is the first time in my life where a western outlet doesn't try and obfuscate the fact that many of the "discoveries" made by europeans in the the renaissance period have taken inspiration from the close to 800 years of Islamic scientific research (who themselves never failed to credit their predecessors).

Typically, when you study the history of science in the west, it starts at ancient greece (who have no contemporaries) then there's a massive blackout of 800 years and poof ! The "light" is magically turned on.

Fair play to the author for not being biased.

they should've called it "shut it down". To go along with the meme.

If you put the feature behind a paywall, technically you can track requests using the payment card ?

In that case, what would be the added benefit of using an government issued ID ? really curious.

I like the concept of "refactoring" one's life.

That's probably because anything of relevance or incriminating has been redacted.

Which defeats the entire purpose of releasing the files in the first place.

It was probably done to appease orange man's voters. Another empty gesture, like "renaming the gulf of mexico to gulf of america"

Exactly, you don't just exit for $32B. There's definitely more to the story, which feels "manufactured" for lack of better words.
