Upvote for usual MSM banter. In truth, JRE is good entertainment. It’s not a learning platform because there isn’t an active engagement component. He’s good at navigating you through a complicated issue by using storyline like pacing with the people he is interviewing being characters in his story. But it’s hardly ever anything one can hold onto once that episode is done. He’s pleasant to listen to and the bit of drama keeps it fresh and spontaneous.
But apparently these women are…educated? I don’t know how it all works if the end result of education (or being “liberal”) is being bigoted and clueless and lacking complete empathy towards the opposite sex.
Sounds like bog standard indoctrination and party line to me.
There are of course also similar contributors in new media (e.g. all the traditional media having also their youtube channel), but there are also youtube channels which deliver reliable facts and good research and analysis. You just have to find them.
Unfortunately, unless you already know fact from disinformation on the specific topic, it is not possible to robustly identify which youtube channels are even attempting to deliver reliable facts. You may get hints because misinformation often tends to be self-inconsistent and illogical, but you may just end up following a trail of confidently-presented lies.
Traditional media, however, at least has a traditional foundation of journalistic standards, even if they might also be biased toward augmenting fear or controversy, or giving equal weight to completely irrational viewpoints on a topic.
In theory, yes. But our society depends on and works with division of labor. Even science depends on it. Verifiability is a fundamental requirement in science, but barely anyone personally does or has the resources to do verification. Instead we trust in (specific) authorities. This admittedly is a potential weakness. But otherwise we would spend our entire lifetime on verification (and possibly die out). However, thanks to our experience or through recommendations, we can choose who we accept as an authority to do this work for us. The difference compared to the past is that the big media houses were automatically considered authorities back then, but not anymore because they have ruined their reputation (because they regularly and obviously violate the standards you mentioned). So today we have more choice but also more work to find these authorities. But it is still feasible. And as you say, there is still common sense and critical thinking, even if those seem to be a vanishing quality.
This site is puritanical, although I have noticed this a lot with the left wing. In addition to speech policing the nags are going hard after gambling and alcohol. I’m very surprised they haven’t tried to outlaw porn to Save the Women
In the US 'the left' (and it's various offshoots) is pretty much a straight-line descendent of Puritanism, albeit stripped of it's direct religious motivation. So while the right may ban porn because 'evil woman parts leading us astray', the left will ban it because 'exploitative patriarchal degradation of women'. In reality they've just found a different rationalization for a cultural choice that was made when the Mayflower first dropped anchor.

Your whole comment is pretty silly considering only one of these things is actually happening.
We should establish a Haidt of online gambling so we can have another merry-go-round into how there isn’t enough conclusive evidence to correlate gambling to shitty outcomes.
Any volunteers? We are all here in the breeches waiting for a champion to rise up and give us the arena for the smorgasbord of shitposting that is about to commence from the vultures that benefit off of societal decay.
Edit: not sure why the downvotes. This is exactly what’s going to happen.
Edit 2: Bingo. See one of the top posts in this thread defending gambling by trying to draw parallels to alcohol. Let the shitposting begin.
> Due to the complexity of the signalling involved with ethernet, a dedicated ASIC is generally used, which takes in data at the frame level, and takes care of wiggling the electrical lines in the right way over a cable (though there are of course exceptions).
Like others in this thread I was hoping I’d see an RJ45 breakout board directly hooked into an STM32 and doing onerous bit banging and keeping it as low level and basic as possible.
Isn’t there a saying that republicans aren’t born republican but they are forced that way? Your anecdote rings true with my experience.
