Appleby's is on a par with Chili's or other such like Shari's, Perkins, and that ilk. None are bad. Golden Corral, been ages since I visited that place. There is only one left in the Seattle Tacoma area, closer to Tacoma. None near me. mspart Edited November 22, 2022 by mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a badge that represents peddlers of misinformation. After being caught in five Pinocchios, you get permabadged. Better, every politician can start with the 'liars' badge and a few might earn a truthful badge over time.

jross Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 It Isn’t Your Imagination: Twitter Treats Conservatives More Harshly Than Liberals (link Feb 2019 article) A June, 2018 Pew poll found that 72% of Americans believe that social media companies censor views they don’t like, with members of the public being four times more likely to report a belief that such institutions favor liberals over conservatives than the opposite. Of 22 prominent, politically active individuals who are known to have been suspended since 2005 and who expressed a preference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, 21 supported Donald Trump. Only one was a Clinton supporter Are prominent Trump supporters more likely to break neutrally applied social media terms of service agreements than other voters? Perhaps. But are they four or more times as likely? That doesn’t seem credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that the content moderation on Twitter, which WAS algorithmic + reporting based, showed more reported acts for conservatives? Is it possible that Trump supporters said more shitty things (racism, sexism, etc) than Clinton supporters did? I think you'd need to look more closely at the survey construction to tell if any variable isolation was done at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Don't do Twitter. I don't think it is good. Regarding Lightfoot, I think it was a figurative call to arms, rather than a call to use guns. She doesn't believe in guns being the mayor of Chicago and such. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are they four or more times as likely? That doesn’t seem credible. It's easily explainable though. The ONLY rules governing what you are talking about is the spreading of mis/disinformation. So, because conservatives were so much more riddled with mis/disinformation, deliberately fed to them by people who know better, and they are always so willing to parrot this mis/disinformation, of course they are going to be more prone to being censored. Understand: I'm an honest, fair man and if the same was happening to libruls regarding mis/disinformation, I'd be the first one to pernt it out, but it is an entire industry of mis/disinformation on AM radyo and Tattletale "News." If you're still not sold, there was an analysis of the major networks to prove my pernt that I'll happily share. Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

Husker_Du Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 i love twitter. how can you like message boards and not love what is essentially a world wide one? it's like anything in life - read, research, and draw your own conclusions. imo half this 'disinformation' debate could be solved if everyone took a little accountability and figured things out for themselves instead of blaming....something/everything 1 TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
