This may be the first time I’ve been misled by a headline linking to a tweet. Why did this even get posted

I would like a quiet blender. I find it absurd the level of volume we tolerate with household appliances in general, but the new ultra-powerful blenders are just ridiculous to me. It is louder than my car, and it's meant to be used ind

So I will admit my comment isn't really substantial or that relevant to this particular situation. I also didn't read either article, and probably won't. My opinion is that anything that appears on any blog of any organizatio

Like everything else related to content decisions made by free services like youtube, it comes down to advertising money. Advertisers don't want their products marketed underneath a video about how the holocaust didn't happen or h

Because political content is a sure fire way to generate outrage from almost anyone, and outrage translates to advertising revenue, whereas planting trees does not. As big tech continues to consume the entire internet, more and more politic

I hope you can find the time. I really wish all social media could go back to being unserious places for unserious people to say unserious things, rather than the totally serious and important mess we have now.

Hey now. As a liberal, I really don't like the way you're talking about the US government. They're the good guys and they are only corrupt when republicans are in control. What are you, some kind of racist nazi?

Well, if/when they ever do fight back, they will immediately be labelled right wing nutjobs by the mainstream media and no one will care about who/what they're fighting against, and you'll see lots of "well, I usual

Just an fyi, your comment will be deemed antisemitic/pro-hamas in a few weeks when the US decides to send in the troops.

It's such a shame. Walking through the no-car areas that popped up during covid was soooooooooo nice. I didn't even have to think about the possibility of getting hit by a giant truck! Oh well, the 3 inch curb will keep me safe I

I was at a restaurant the other day and on the bottom of the menu it said "a 2.5% tip will be added to all transactions to help us pay our staff" and all I could think was why can't they just add a dollar to some/all of

Why hasn't this happened to me yet? I watch youtube videos ALL the time and I have never once been prompted to turn off ublock. The only time I see ads is on my phone.

Well they said they were sorry, what else do you want from them? The TV says dubya is a good guy now because he dislikes trump, you'd have to be some kind of fascist to disagree with that logic.

I don't mean to be rude, but you should get over it because this is the world we live in and pearl clutching isn't going to stop them. Don't be sad, get mad!

In the beginning of the game factorio, and probably lots of other games like it, everything you build is the "burner" version because those are the first things you have available. You build them and feed them with coal to make th

I don't really understand your aside, but it's really unfair to call any position that isn't in support of open borders racist. Immigration is policy and people can have different opinions on it. It's also just not racis

To play devil's advocate: be careful what you wish for. With the way that things are going, police will probably have zero issue getting whatever video from your "dash cam" they deem necessary to do their jobs.

At this point I really want to go and experience it myself. Every single real life person who lives there or close by has said that things are pretty bad when I've asked them about it. Seemingly every article about it says it's pr

You could make the same argument about the US government, and yet the "much less powerful and less wealthy" groups still have a ton of influence over it. You are expecting it to make perfect logical sense, when it could all be ver
