    education, like 90% of the D&D hate Bezos but probably share the exact same views as he does and also purchases their toilet paper from his company amazon in bulk.
    they don't know he owns the post.

    I don’t understand your question. I suggested to the OP he add Minneapolis to his poll. Did you vote in his poll yet? I’ve already voted for the bare naked lady city

    maybe he thought it was pole, the object from the top of the wall to the floor that Harden's friends like to make moves around.

    You quoted a post with the usual insane right-wing talking points calling the protests 51 days of straight violent rioting.

    When you post that kind of stuff, especially when it's propaganda, its an endorsement of that POV.

    way to try and understand an argument on its own terms

    I emphatically reject this assertion. In the twitterverse, for example, it has been the norm for over a decade to assume that tweeted links and retweets do not equal endorsement:



    So if you feel compelled to try to read my mind and simply assume I agree with everything I post, and that I agree with every word of every thing I post, then that is YOUR problem, not mine.

    A) I'm well aware that Bezos owns the WaPo amongst a ton of other companies
    B) He actually only owns about 10% of Amazon - while he founded it, he's the CEO not the owner
    C) Not sure why you think the D&D hates Bezos. He is non-partisan but tends to support more Democrats in terms of donations

    It's one thing to post a counterpoint of view for discussion's sake and say, "this is an interesting article, curious to what people think?" But when you post right-wing misinformation without context it is an endorsement despite what your friend Grace says.

    If you slap someone across the face, one isn't reading your mind to say, oh, he has an issue with that person. By the way token, its not reading your mind when you post something that is clearly false and argument can be made that it is actually propaganda.

    Both were very cool cities when I visited. Think I'd go with Portland, better weather, fewer people.

    I think criticism of Amazon and their desire for tax breaks gets confused by some to mean that those who criticize Amazon are anti-Bezos. I actually admire the man and have read up on a lot of his thinking. That doesn't mean I agree with his policies or that Amazon should get tax breaks.
