The dogs working at DOGE haven't the idea on what are they looking at and are lying to cover it. I wouldn't count on them exposing anything but their asses.

I think your best bet is to organize it "secret santa" style in an open format where people won't necessarily suspect that everyone but them is a paid actor.

There must have been studies on this. Putting money into the mix is a bad idea IMO.

I don't think paying in crypto increases trust for the regular Joe, maybe Alice and Bob will be more likely to join. This would select a very narrow crowd and skew your results massively.

It's more an experiment whether people will trust the rando running this.

Also, if you want to try this make sure of the legality of your "experiment" because inevitably someone will snitch on you.

I sometimes think my adblocker should very much lie to the page that "yeah, watched that, totally" in an undetectable way.

Why wouldn't they? Surely they have nothing to fear "being sent off to a prison in Salvador is for the othered people"

The people who have nothing interesting to say in a long form format were never worth following anyway.

The people who paid for the campaign rely on cheap immigrant labor, the kind of the american workers wouldn't take unless forced to do so in prison.

The visas are here to stay longer than it would take every MAGA clown to eat their red hat.

> English doesn't have any cap on sentence length

Well, yes and no. Constructing this "infinite" sentence will run into some serious problems once the last star burns out, possibly sooner.

I think you're going to find out that no, you can't, and this impossibility is going to trivially demonstrate itself.

Wouldn't removing all cookies and local storage force the dialog back? Also, if the site needs consent to collect data, hiding the dialog with adblocker is preferable to clicking anything, no?
