Trolls feed off engagement and bluesky makes it easy to nuclear block so trolls don't like that very much.

"the right is god given"

The stupidest thing I've read today

I'm looking to immediately withdraw all of my funds from wealthfront and put them into fidelity.

I think it's more due to political ignorance and the overton window shifting right the last 50 years. People tend to equate modern liberalism, which is very much pro-markets and pro-capital, with leftism.

It’s not an echo chamber to refuse to accept hate speech and shitty right wing media. It’s an interesting but continuous claim that if you don’t accept far right and increasingly fascist viewpoints, you live in an echo chamber. This is a lie.

Basically what I did is just follow some people I knew from twitter, and from that I discovered a few follow lists and block lists that I liked. Within a couple of days I had a pretty well curated and very busy feed of things I was interested in seeing and interacting with.

Bluesky definitely has a "this is what twitter used to be vibe" but it's so much more than that. With follow lists and block lists it's really easy to get up to speed and curate your feed. It's also very noticeably less algorithm driven.

Good. They should be scared.

Yeah I worked for a dude like this before. He'd come into the office literally in people's faces like screaming at the top of his lungs. He did that to me once and I told him to never talk to me again. If he needs something he can go through my manager.

6 months later the board decided he was too much of a liability and he resigned. He also had several sexual harassment lawsuits against him.

No, if anything they are generally worse.

I had my gallbladder removed and was receiving new bills literally 18 months later.

Just because it worked out "this once" doesn't mean it works out in general.

Simple fact of the matter is we pay nearly double per capita what most of Europe, Canada and Australia pays for healthcare, and we don't even have universal coverage. Add in the fact that a majority of bankruptcies are due to medical debt and it paints a pretty damning picture overall.

This system is fundamentally broken. Anyone defending it is either willfully ignorant or shielded from it's worst aspects.

Did you read the article per chance? There are very valid criticisms in it and none of your "arguments" here seem like they pertain to the claims the article makes.

It was only her personal account that was suspended. The account tied to her position in government is still there @RepMTG.
