I cancelled mine when they murdered Lord of the Rings. As a fan, I was saddened. After getting rid of my membership, I have not really missed it nearly as much as I thought I would. It doesn’t actually affect me very much, and at the curren

Yeah I had the same thought about the account creation metric, I agree that X is such a new name that increased searches about its name don't really mean much. The overall usage stat does line up with X's own claims about traffic

It's obvious to anyone who actually used the service or lives in a rural area how much good the service is doing. In many rural places there are literally no other options, or the options are so bad that it is laughable. This is one of

If all entertainment must conform to an idealistic view of society then it's just going to be really boring isn't it? I think a lot of people are not going to watch TV shows if they only portray the world in this highly moralized

I really love the show, I think it's a combination of likable characters and feeling special when you understand a physics/chemistry/scifi etc reference. It makes you feel smart because you are in on the references that the s

I have not seen these ads on X myself but wow that’s incredible. I think they will definitely end up removing the ones that outright encourage stealing semen. The ones that say “is this illegal? What do you think?” Are a little more morally

It is a shame that the FTC was not this proactive when Google and Facebook were buying up every company in sight that might have turned into competition for them. Does this represent progress for the FTC? Or does Microsoft get extra scrutin

This is amazing. I will actually pay for this. Also cool to note that this service sequences your entire genome and lets you download the raw data. Which is not something 23 and Me offers. You can open the data in an open source genome brow

Genuinely curious, why does it imply ethnic cleansing? Why does it need to be a binary choice between ethnostate and complete ethnic cleansing? We have seen that in the western world that we do not abide the idea of ethnostates, e.g. it is

One of the things I hear repeated in startup circles is that a product needs to be 10x better than the thing it’s replacing to have a realistic shot at displacing it. I honestly don’t feel like even if every single social media user in the
