Yep. It was headed downhill with the bots, reposts, karma farmers, hive-mind, troll farms, and of course the reddit c-suite “purging” the site of things like WPD, morbid reality, spacedicks (yeah, not subs for everyone, but noetheless…not hurting anyone), getting rid of Victoria, getting rid of mods and leaving petty power mongers and sycophants in place, and allowing shit like The_Donald and similar subs to run unchecked. The forced commercialization, crushing of protest and reddit app was the final straw.

I’m tired of people acting like they shouldn’t contribute to the betterment of society as a whole because their contribution doesn’t benefit them personally, or benefits others they dislike.

Thank you. That would be lovely. I find LED’s flicker sometimes and are too “hard”, they lack the softer, more yellow profile of incandescents.

Probably what his rant is all about.

Anyone care to sum up in a few sentences what this 20+ minute video is all about?

E: fucking lemmy, lol. Don’t watch youtube! Google sucks! Use alternatives! /asks for a quick summary so as to avoid youtube: lemmy: “Downvote!1!1”

It was happening well before AI with shitty content-scraping “solution” sites. Some even put [SOLVED] in the page title. AI is just a compounding problem.

An accent that is still english speaking but not so foreign that US listeners cannot understand it but still implies the speaker is foreign.

Bonds are supposedly safe. You buy them because the rest of the market is unstable or potentially so.

It’s not a flex. You move to safe investments in times of worry. There’s more fear in the market so people are hedging their bets.

Tbf not all of these have to be done daily. I get the point, but yeah.

Turning into the Mad King Trump. These absurd name changes and radical military actions like bombing boats and threatening Venezuela.

You knew he was a snake when you picked him up.

“It doesn’t count when I say you’re being emotional, ot only counts when I say it”.

Wtf.

Must’ve completely skipped the parts where plenty of people actually did the math. Or the author just scrolled the stupid parts of social media and ignored places where actual discussion takes place.

Only three more years. If we’re lucky.

Some people view a label as an ending. They put people into the box. Think no further, end of story. AKA “stereotype”. How you treat the person you just labeled with implicit bias forces them into that box because of your expectations and biases, conscious or otherwise.

Other people, who might pause for a second when they hear a label, will mentally decompress the label with tools like nuance and understand that the label isn’t monolithic. It’s a starting point. Not a stopping point. People are a spectrum. So if someone says they’re an introvert, we know they probably aren’t into crowded bars or large social situations. But you don’t get to tell them “If you don’t use the label you will change.”

It’s how you use the label when you interact with them, not how they use the label for themselves.

Yes. And we call that kind of person an “introvert”.

This country never ceases to amaze me with how shitty they can be and sweep it under the rug.

Guess Forrest Gump and Benjamin Buford Blue could potentially be examples of the program even if it wasn’t part of the film.

Edit: a quick look says that yes indeed, our movie characters were part of Project 100,000.

A representative for the investment group that initiated the eviction said in a statement, "We are deeply saddened to learn of the events that have occurred, and we extend our sincere condolences to all those involved in this tragic incident.”

“Ok, now that we said the required words, when can you get out of the house so we can rent it again?”

Probably most of those stating they’d run away already had Florida or other avoid-NY-taxes out of state license plates on their cars before the election.

Gotta kill the witnesses that could inconveniently testify as to what happened and what was on the boat.
