Just a heads up, the site is a little funky on mobile. It works well enough but i’m finding it’s loading kind of slowly and your big image at the top is not formatting properly and cutting off the words (building green hydrogen’s). I’m al

I can’t imagine it will stay that way forever. As more and more critical tools and infrastructure go digital, allowing people to just whack away at them or introduce malicious/bad code in the name of research is just going to be way to

Exactly. One only has to look at the myriad of tv shows, video games, movies, etc. to see that we have more quality options than ever and are seeing even more niche, but commercially successful content. There’s more static too, but there’s

Man are you me? After college I finally got diagnosed again after being off medication for 8 or so years. Grew up first doing Ritalin->adderall->concerta->no meds. I realized how needlessly difficult I made college for myself.

I’d agree it’s fair if we actually knew what all the gleaned from our searches and what they did with it. That’s sort of the crux of the problem. We aren’t fully consenting/aware of what is being harvested and where it’s going.

This honestly reads like an undergraduate understanding of “the invisible hand” and “market forces” to me.

I think the hardest part for me is that I am so locked into Google Drive and Gmail at this point that getting off of them seems to be a nearly Herculean feat. My business runs on gdrive with over 1 TB of stuff on it currently, I’ve been on

It should be tbh. It’s a car service. It’s a luxury expense.

Often they have a great story behind them. I like it when artists take some risks even when I don’t love the results.

Yeah get ready for the rent/eviction flood gates to really open. It’s going to be brutal.

Came here to basically say this - it’s got me scratching my head for sure. I bet not taking on more debt in uncertain times but many folks don’t have a choice. Any idea what could be driving this?

Didn’t an email link with Boeing employees basically saying the exact same thing? “I’d never let my family fly on one” or something?

Honestly they’re a pretty stable product (minus, of course, the infamous planned obsolescence via battery incident). My iPhones have worked as intended since my first (4s).

Yeah I was going to make a similar point - many libraries use services such as Hoopla and Overdrive for digital lending. Hoopla has been a god send for me during quarantine.

It kind of reminds me of how many people remember some particular middle school or high school teacher who had a big impact on them. It’s not like they literally saved their lives, but the way they taught and the lessons learned just stuck

Every day on /r/CRT: Post blurry picture of tv “is this any good?” Every response: “the model # is on the back.”

Well it went to basically everyone (in many countries, obviously don’t know yours) and was rushed out the door with no sustainability in mind. I’m sure it can be retooled and refined. You can’t toss it out completely already.

I guess it’s more that low effort content became popular. I say this as someone who loved f7u12. But I realized over time that it became a game of “how do I make enough references for the front page?” and then, as always, dog whistles. DA

The amount of work the ask historians mods have to put in to make reddit function like people think it does/want it to is staggering. That team is basically doing a second full time job. I don’t know how they do it.

I can’t speak for them but for me it’s hard to avoid this feeling like you invested a part of yourself. All the comments and thoughts you poured out, the interactions and revelations you had, the little funny moments. A part of me likes kno

What emphasizes this issue further is the insane content you can wind up browsing after just 3-4 “suggested” clips on YouTube. I’ve watched folks get from pretty banal comedy sketches and the like to Ben Shapiro and Jordan Sather with no ef

Honestly I’d say it’s closer to 2013 or so. The rise of rage comics/f7u12, /r/DAE, etc. was a major red flag. Subs that basically demanded “this sounds like niche but literally everyone thinks it” posts that often meandered i

On what planet is the US’s immigration policy “extremely generous”? Have you experienced it? The costs and hoops and sheer years it takes?

by BolexNOLA 6y ago
Probably wasn’t as expensive either. My buddy had to spend roughly $6k to become a citizen. Absolutely ludicrous.

by BolexNOLA 6y ago
The immigration debate looked very different ten years ago. I’m not sure we should expect the same policies.

They’re already here, travel is potentially dangerous (especially a large exodus of international students), time zone issues, ability to pick back up where they left off easily, possible local employment/internships, apartments/h
