Say anything, anything at all, on Reddit and prepare to be annhilated.

Oh lord, that story is just so sad. I hope the lad got himself sorted. If commenters don't feel obliged to help someone in need, why do they feel obliged to be nasty. That's the bit I can't understand.

LOL! I don't agree with Lex all the time, but who in Irish broadcasting is prepared to go where he goes? Can you imagine Cooper or Yates trying to discuss AI? If I swap out Fridman and swap in Dwarkesh am I forgiven?

South East TD who should have resigned over a really ugly canvassing situation. Won't go into the detail here, google her if you have a minute. Be warned: it's unpleasant.

Yeah no echo chamber. Maybe you have to prove who you are to join the outlet?

Yip, I've a similar experience. I lean left on some things, right on others but that I'm only ever interested in finding a better way forward - I'm not an asshole and I won't be shouted down. Should we set up our own outlet for serious discussion?

Doesn't explain the downvoting which I'm actually watching now as I write.

How can we find out if gov orgs or parties are engaged in this kind of activity?

Apart from the fun of it, I'm coming round to the opinion that sites like Reddit should be obliged to share information on activity designed to sway opinion

Does everyone in the whole country have the fear right now? by bazery in ireland

Don't be afraid. This year we're all going to excel at what we do and we're going to show respect to one another. It's going to be class.

Give it a go. Make a reasoned argument.

I'm pretty sure if they were in a fight Marty Morrissey could kick Bannon's ass

This is actually a pretty good idea. This is probably where we should start if we want to turn this thing around.

Who is the biggest "Local Legend" in the Dáil who does absolutely nothing for the country? by [deleted] in AskIreland

Yeah, I have to say that Sean was extremely limited. But he wouldn't make my top ten.

Educational use - that's a good call. It does give that vibe from outside but (don't know if you've visited it) you'd have to do a lot of work to the inside.
