Idaho has a ton of incredible outdoor activities. You list some negatives but my biggest negative is all of the white supremacist groups. I felt uncomfortable just stopping for gas and going into a grocery store with everyone staring at m

I was 16 when Magic Johnson announced he had AIDS. That was the first time it felt real to me. I remember a couple of friends crying because we all thought he would be dead in 1-2 years. And here he is and seems to be living a normal lif

I don't think this is a good idea but I do think colleges should be required to list the average salaries that people with those degrees have. Include the career and salary progression over the next 30 years. I'm generally agains

To replenish it. I know it was made by accident but agricultural runoff kept it from drying out. Now it is full of fertilizer and pesticide residue and the farms have gotten better at using water so less flows into the Salton Sea. As it

On the ground or suspended about 20 feet up? I saw Endeavour in 2017 and it was like this and you could walk under the wings. I've seen Discovery about 10 times because I live much closer to DC but you can't only walk around it,

AI has a lot of uses and can save people time. But AI bots are filling online forums with garbage posts. I get so annoyed when reading a question and then see clues that it is not a real person but an AI asking so it can get training data

Everywhere I look in my area we are building new housing. But more people keep moving to the desirable locations with jobs etc. EDIT: I live in one of the 10 fastest growing metro areas of the US. In the last 4 years my county added over

I've already unsubcribed to a bunch of subreddits because the moderators did nothing to stop the slop. I almost never go to the main "popular" page as it is full of garbage. But I was still enjoying my niche subreddits. But

Where are you going? Reddit has a lot of AI generated stuff Youtube comments are even worse. Twitter seems 99% AI garbage I think I need to find old school forums to discuss things.

I'd like to first see all advertisements for gambling banned. Then lets take a look at the data after 1-2 years. Or if you allow it put a warning like the surgeon generals warning on tobacco. Clearly state that most people lose money

I grew up in 2 towns in the 20K to 30K population. They were both super racist and not a lot of stuff to do. I now live in an area with about 2.5 million people and there is far more to do and the people are more educated and open minded.

Unfortunately I think reddit themselves encourage and want the bots because it leads to more traffic and ad displays so they make more money.

The problem is that many of us have niche interests and no one local to discuss things with or get made fun of for being a nerd. I loved maps and geography as a child and still do. I've never met anyone in real life that likes it as m

I was on Usenet starting in 1991. Once the Internet got popular with the general public around 1995 things started going downhill. Spam overwhelmed Usenet in the late 1990's and made it almost unusable for general discussion. Stuff s

They also now hide the number of subscribers. Before you could see if a subreddit was popular or not. Now you really don't know. I think reddit does this so they can promote stuff to the front page for clicks even if it isn't p

Today if we say "open an xterm and type this command" we mean to start a program that runs in a window that has a text interface with a command line. Here is an X terminal from around 1990. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

Interesting. I used Apple II's in elementary school (early 1980's) and then some Macs but I had never even seen a Lisa in person until going to a computer museum about 5 years ago.
