    Stooge. The rich laugh while you blame other poor people for your plight. When will these morons realize race and religion are just tools of the powerful to control others and distract from their crimes.

      …wait. Am I in an echo chamber? I’ve been saying this for years. Am I upvoting you because you’re right? Or just because it’s what I already agree with?

      Is the fact that I’m self aware of the problem enough to notice a real echo chamber? Or am I still vunerable to not being able to tell reality from talking points?

      This switch from reddit is weird. I’m used to being the one to make that point. Usually after someone says something stupid.

        am I still vunerable to not being able to tell reality from talking points?

        You’re absolutely still vulnerable, and the fact you sometimes notice you’re in an echo chamber means that when you don’t spot it you’re more likely to think you’re not in one, even if you are. It’s an interesting dilemma; if you’re not aware then you risk falling into any echo chamber, but the more aware you are of a trap like this normally, the more you risk being sucked in due tp misplaced confidence when you miss the signs.

        Stay alert, keep questioning why you agree with others and welcome to Lemmy!

    Luckily, each one of his alleged shots missed and no one was killed or seriously injured as a result of the tirade.

    They buried the lede that he’s a stormtrooper.

    A white man was arrested after live streaming his trip to a local Indianapolis grocery store

    Richard K. Klaff Jr., 20, walked into the Georgetown Square Kroger in Fort Wayne, Ind

    Fort Wayne is 1.5 hours away from Indianapolis.

    What a piece of shit. Unrelated, why did the writer choose this:

    [. . .] walked into the Georgetown Square Kroger in Fort Wayne, Ind. when he snuck into the bathroom [. . .]

    Does one have to sneak into a public restroom in a store? Did the shithead sneak into an employee-only area? It’s just such weird phrasing for me.
