Those are two different questions, right? No, it does not sound like Instagram is doing a good job of cleaning up child exploitation, although I couldn't tell from that article if those inappropriate interactions where happening in DM's or on public spaces (it's behind a paywall). I'll assume...

That seems unlikely. Companies exist to make money - they generally pursue policies to make money.I really think applying Occam's razor in daily life would be beneficial for most people.

There is a (IMO) a deliberate mis-characterization of DEI.Basically it sets up a false scenario where race should be the driving factor in hires, over qualifications. In most industries that I'm familiar with that is never the case.DEI is basically saying that diversity, equity and...

It means Disney is comfortable that instagram will continue to try to clean up child exploitation and will protect their brand from being associated with child exploitation and they are not confident that the same can be said of X.It comes down to the approach each company takes to these...

The fundamental issue is that Israel is a miltary occupying power and has been for 80 years now. There aren't any people who would accept military occupation peacefully without a promise of being able to fully participate in their own governance.It gets complicated b/c what is a viable...

Yeah, I don't think Biden's victory is certain by stretch of the imagination. It's weird to me that the polling is like 45% for Trump and 42% for Biden (or reversed, but all the polls are around that right now)... I'd think it would be lower for both with more undecided/3rd party though...

I realized I never responded to this earlier...I would of course understand why Arab Americans would be upset with Biden, and their criticism and disappointment are valid. But to answer your question, yes, I would have no issue telling them they should still vote for Biden, and he is better...

It seems most Christians I've talked to haven't read the whole bible. Or even most of it. I've made the argument above before, but it never seems to sink in. It's not super cut and dry although the Catholic church has been against abortion for it's entire existence, there has been different...

She'd have to be crazy or dumb to think that any defence attorney wouldn't try to make it an issue.Basically, if she behaved unethically in hiring Wade or other ethical violations occurred. The defense could argue she's not going to be ethical in the way she handles evidence, witnesses, etc...

Thanks for the list...Forgive me if I'm wrong, but weren't you saying you wouldn't vote for him b/c of these things? Doesn't that imply you think a more progressive president would have accomplished more therefore earning your vote?You framed it as an all or nothing sort of thing - or rather...

It almost certainly hurt them in the mid-terms as well.

I think it's because of the Holocaust and world-wide anti-Semitism that has led them to this. Extremism breeds extremism. They basically learned they can't trust anyone and their existence is always in peril.I understand how they got there, but understanding how they got there doesn't mean I...

What is it that you think Biden promised that he failed to deliver on? And what do you think a more progressive president would have actually accomplished. And why?Most analysis I've seen on legislation introduced and executive orders issued by the Biden place him slightly to the left of Obama...

This is a very good take. We really ought to have ranked choice voting for every type of election - primaries and general.

So, I actually thought of you while watching him last night... lol. I agree with him because it's also what I've said in this thread.... you should criticize the candidates where you think they deserve. But criticizing them is different then not voting for them and letting someone so much...
