The big difference between this place and Reddit is I would have been called an idiot for not believing it at face value, and here someone just drops a link
You wouldve gotten like a bajillion down votes as well.
I’m browsing on Voyager, which looks a lot like Apollo, discussions branch out down to the right. On reddit the further down and right you went in any given thread it was always mudslinging and downvotes, here it seems to be a lot more people actually talking to each other
And then shock and surprise that people are actually talking to each other instead of just either mindlessly agreeing or purging a different opinion. Don't folks know this is the internet, which is no place for actual discourse?
Oh there's still plenty of that. You must be one of those with the "popular" opinions.
How is this special (cushy) prison for rich and famous run by the federal govt justified? Do they try ?
I assume they're talking about white collar prisons which a sex offender would not be going to AFAIK. If they're just talking about some secret rich white people prison where violent offenders go when they have money, there isn't one. Rich people get off if their richness helps enough.
