FIFA must grant Belgium's appeal or international football is cooked

The red card was the wrong call. But, once made, it should be honored. To permit political and financial interests to create an exception to the tournament rules shreds the last vestiges of credibility that FIFA held.

Further, if it is not granted, then other nations should withdraw from FIFA and create an alternative governing body.

The pitfalls of media and social media by proxy.

CulturePoliticsSocietyTechnology

I think this illustrates the point as to why I would like to see Elenkia take a more prominent role in social media consumption by the average person. A platform that doesn't boost the quantity of the signal but the quality. Allowing disinformation to run rampant and unchecked, I believe, is one of the biggest causes for an uninformed and frankly, worn-out electorate.

Where do the Socks Go?

I woke up this morning with only one sock on my foot, his little twin nowhere to be seen. Another victim of Intersock-ional entanglement and lintropy.

Welcome to new members

Thank you to everyone who signed up recently! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the platform and how we can improve it.

The best way to get familiar with the platform's unique features is simply to use them. To get the ball rolling, I'm going to post a deliberately questionable hot take below. Click "Request Duolog" and give it a try. Challenge me, defend me, or take the discussion in a completely unexpected direction.

(Since the server will be wiped at the end of this testing phase, I'm saving my actual controversial opinions for later.)

🔥 Hot Take:

A tomato may be botanically a fruit, but in ordinary life it behaves like a vegetable. You put it in salads and sandwiches, not fruit salad or dessert. Therefore, functionally speaking, a tomato is not a fruit.

Multiple accounts

How will the Elenkia team administer the use of people using multiple accounts as simply having secondary accounts vs intential sockpuppet accounts to skew votes, outcomes, etc.? Will anonymity be prioritised or will your account be tied to you via academic institutions/workplace in order to discourage "trolling" or bad faith practices with which anonymity provides?

Who else think this social media should have more cachy name , smt better

Philosophy

hi , so anyone here agree that we should have a better name ? Don't wanna be elenkians...lol
Jk name is decent i see the inspiration behind this where someone from the team said this -
" The name actually derives from the words Elenchus n. (iˈleNGkəs): The Socratic method of discourse and Elench n (iˈleNGk): The critical point in a discussion at which proof or persuasion is achieved. the -kia at the end is kinda of the suffix to make it sound like "The Land of Elenchus" if you will. Hence, Elenkia. "

And is here free speech ? I mean like reddit nowdays is so cooked i don't like it now .

didn't find suitable tag for post so using wutever is there .

Images in Duologs

Media

I see that duologs allow for a text response and soon video response will be enabled as well. What about adding images as supporting evidence in the duolog? Just a suggestion.

There’s no guitar that looks better with zebra pick ups. Change my mind.

FLASHY MEMES LEND CREDIBILITY TO ANY ARGUMENT

ArtPhilosophyScience

I'm making this post partially because I want to be the first person to post a PEPE meme on this site, but more importantly, I want to illustrate what everyone already knows - which is the fact that flashy memes such as this one lends credibility in any argument. THIS IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN! But you wouldn't know that because you are all a bunch of buffoons! Prove me wrong.
