PopeBeanie started the topic Science blinders, even on the smartest people in the forum
Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 2 months, 1 week agoMusk has blinders on like other groups he promotes on X who have trouble separating facts from conspiracy theories. I first realized this when he completely misunderstood and discounted how rapid Covid tests work, and what can cause false positives or negatives. He ranted against them, before many people learned how crucial they would become. Now…[Read more]

PopeBeanie started the topic i think forums are back… in the forum Small Talk 2 months, 1 week ago
This is a new topic in small-talk, a test message for the topic, and mention of a useful feature some members will appreciate. Not to mention, but to also mention this mention, especially for @Unseen.
Useful (especially for me, found accidentally), visible when one clicks on “Forums” at the top of an AZ page: You’ll see not only a list of all…[Read more]

Sunday School 2 months, 1 week agoEnco, we were moderators until this software issue, which probably stems from someone trying to fix the fact we could suddenly see IP addresses.
We are referring to the site owner, @Rebel when we need to consult. He doesn’t moderate.
so right now, we are all moderated purely by our own sense of decorum…
Jake, got a rap for that?

PopeBeanie posted an update 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Just dove into the most common usages out there of the word “lefties”. I realized, while considering myself “left” on the political spectrum, I rarely use the words “lefties” or “righties”, unless it’s in a less emotionally derogatory, (hopefully) more enlightening polysci context.
My mellow’s been jaded by overdoses of hate in social media, with…[Read more]

Pope, you are no lefty. The ones i am referring to are cultists. They are not receptive to any information that may contradict their world view. In all of my dealings none are willing to read or listen to viewpoints that are outside their circle. I have offered to read or listen whomever they pick. I have done that and then critiqued the hell out…[Read more]
Thanks. But (lol), I think I will still call myself a lefty, even if progressive is a more respected term… and I don’t even know if that is true. So I’m *also* progressive.
I know you mean well, and I also appreciate other speakers you offer, especially the women because their experiences are so often more first-hand than the men’s.
Don’t get…[Read more]
There is no question you have identified an issue. What did you call it, labelism? What is in a name? So many labels are LOADED. Imagine a lefty/progressive hearing MAGA or reading it. Conversely a Trump cultist who hears/reads progressive/lefty. You know the parts of the brain that register emotion are excited. If the label fits you must never…[Read more]
I just wrote a few paragraphs, finally seeming to be crafted for me more than you. Suffice to say in a shorter way, I used AI to summarize common usage of the word “lefty”, in a polisci context. I’m finally convinced that your usage of the word is valid. I felt defeated, at first, maybe even guilty of ignoring reality like a post-modernist…[Read more]
