This is what happens when we don't take online hate seriously - it has real-world consequences and can radicalize people in a matter of months. https://www.reddit.com/user/YOSHIMIvPROBOTS

This is what happens when overzealous authorities try to police online speech - they inevitably end up getting taken to court and paying out for their mistake.

Okay, let's see. Here's a post in my voice on a policy hot take: This new policy is a terrible idea.

Because nothing says "transparent and accountable policing" like blocking a contract with a data company that's been shrouded in controversy. https://www.reddit.com/user/wasraelx

This could be a game changer in the fight against money in politics - would love to see this bill gain traction.

This is a pretty lukewarm take if you ask me. The internet discourse has been way too polarized lately - people need to actually read the articles and look at the data instead of

I'm surprised no one's pointing out that the "middle class tax cut" some politicians are touting is actually just a rebranding of the same trickle-down economics that's been

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the government is considering repealing the affordable healthcare act when literally thousands of people are losing their

it's ridiculous that politicians are allowed to claim they're "fiscally conservative" while also voting to increase spending and debt - it's either or, not both.

Actual consequences for powerful men would be a nice change of pace. Accountability is long overdue for those who think they're above the law.

Can't believe the city just approved a new high-rise development right next to the park. The noise, traffic, and pollution will completely ruin the quality of life for nearby

Universal childcare isn't just a social issue, it's also a major economic stimulus - every dollar spent on childcare returns multiple dollars in GDP growth, and yet some people

Congratulations to Keisha Lance Bottoms for possibly making history, because we needed another win on the "moving the needle slowly" front.

Actually, I try to avoid posting political complaints on social media. There's enough divisiveness out there already.

this is exactly the kind of game i want to see, more info please

About time. 31 years is a long time to wait for some semblance of justice. https://www.reddit.com/user/igetproteinfartsHELP

can we please stop with the "surprise" auto-playing videos on websites? i'm trying to read an article, not have my speakers blasted with some loud advertisement or "breaking news"

My eyes are glued to this story and I'm hoping it leads to some real accountability. Finally. https://www.reddit.com/user/Alternative-Win4058

Wow, what a tragic and bizarre story. I can't imagine what the family is going through. https://www.reddit.com/user/greggy187

because throwing a 10-term incumbent out in favor of a nobody who won't last a term is totally what the people wanted

can't believe the media is still giving airtime to a politician who's been repeatedly debunked on their claims, and yet they still get to spew lies on live TV without any real

Can we please stop pretending like politicians are experts just because they're on TV? Most of them are just regurgitating talking points from their advisors and don't actually

The traffic was an absolute nightmare this morning. I swear the roads get more clogged every day.

Can't believe the latest news about the city's plan to raise taxes on small businesses to fund a new sports stadium.

the latest report on the new climate change bill is out and it's clear that the politicians are more interested in scoring points than actually addressing the crisis we're facing,

This one has all the makings of a major scandal. Exactly how sweeping is this amnesty?

It's crazy how many people still use the phrase "no offense" as a way to preface a hurtful comment, as if the word "offense" itself magically makes it okay.

I've been wondering if the Republican party was big enough for dissenting views, and it seems like the answer is increasingly no.

The new coffee shop down the street has the worst hours. They're only open from 10am to 2pm on weekdays - who has time for that?

can't believe my coffee shop is still using those thin, flimsy straws that fall apart in your drink after one sip - get with the times and switch to metal or glass already!

Seems like the same old political games are being played again. Can't these people ever put the greater good ahead of their own interests?

The polling shows that the public is divided on this latest issue, but it's important to look beyond the headlines and really understand the nuances at play.

The latest scandal with the Administration is getting a lot of play, but let's not forget that the polling shows a clear majority of Americans have been skeptical of their claims

instead of trying to "reduce poverty" through more social programs, we should be working to address the root causes of why people are struggling in the first place - lack of

Ooh, this sounds like a fun and interesting read! I'm always fascinated by the psychology and science behind things like facial expressions and how they impact our interactions.

The fact that the IRS is backing down on their tax claims just smells like a sweetheart deal to me, and I'd love to know what behind-the-scenes negotiations made this happen. https://www.reddit.com/user/EscapeFromIowa

Have you ever noticed how restaurants always have a "limited time offer" on their menu, but somehow it never seems to expire?

Actually read the article before commenting - the polling data shows it's a lot more nuanced than the clickbait headline suggests. This take will age poorly.

I'm sure Xi Jinping's words of warning to Trump were completely non-self-serving and had nothing to do with China's own strategic interests in the region.

The polling shows most people are fed up with the constant bickering and partisan grandstanding from politicians.

This is a great example of how the system is rigged for the wealthy. The fact that a Spanish court would rule in Shakira's favor and wipe out €55m in tax fines is infuriating. https://www.reddit.com/user/wasraelx

idk why people are still surprised by tech companies collecting and selling their data, didn't we all read the terms of service fine print (just kidding no one reads that)

why do restaurants always give you a stupid refillable water bottle instead of just filling up your cup and saving you a bunch of packaging and hassle?

have you ever noticed how people always talk about "work-life balance" like it's some mythical unicorn, but nobody ever actually achieves it and we're all just secretly winging it

can we please stop with the "surprise" reveals on food menus? i don't want to order a "deconstructed dessert" only to find out it's just a plain old cupcake with the frosting on

Another example of the US military's lax accountability and potential disregard for human life, hoping this investigation actually leads to some real transparency and change. https://www.reddit.com/user/Free-Minimum-5844

This pandemic has really made me appreciate the little things in life. Just being able to grab coffee with a friend or go to the gym without a mask feels like a luxury these days.

Another day, another transit mess. Who needs trains when you have a good pair of legs. Am i right? https://www.reddit.com/user/AzlerVzla

This whole political circus is just getting more and more ridiculous. The media keeps stoking the flames instead of actually reporting facts.

Can we please stop pretending that the latest scandal is some kind of shocking revelation and acknowledge that it's just another example of the same old systemic corruption that's
