Reddit also has karma barriers for posting in various places, which literally stifles conversation, in that you will not be able to respond if you have enough downvotes. I don’t think it’s really comparable.
This isn’t reddit, there’s not a rule for what the downvote means. Further, there’s no consequences for downvotes, so I don’t see how it stifles conversation.
I just skimmed Jimmy Dore’s wikipedia… he seems politically relatively progressive, but personally selfish and slightly too open. Maybe I missed something, but supporting Bernie, thinking the democrat party is a shitshow, and saying that comedians’ jobs are easier under republican presidents doesn’t seem super far from “lefty,” though the Overton window is further right in the US.
Is it a different Jimmy dore or is there something else?
I was on a third date, and we met an acquaintance of mine. I went to introduce them and blanked. Worse, I went for what I thought I remembered, which ended up close enough to be culturally insensitive. His name was Franz and I said Fritz and he was pretty hurt.
I had an abortion at seven weeks in July some years ago. Within those seven weeks, I called out of work because of the heat twice, something I’ve never done before or since.

This is a bullshit article. They ask how people treat themselves or celebrate an extraordinary day, then use every example of that treat (going out to dinner, and spending time with family are both listed) as evidence that you had an extraordinary day. Like, it’s a nice way to prompt gratitude, but it’s not a metric for extraordinary days
They better lower the retirement age for women as well, or they’re just stealing a year of women’s lives.
