I'm still unhappy about them removing NSFW from r/all. Back in the day I could keep scrolling until my feed was majority dongs, and that would be the end of Reddit for the day. No regrets about signing off. It was like a perfect e

This point has been discussed to death already. Reddit is extremely reliant on a small percentage of users who moderate and post content. Those are the ones being impacted and complaining the loudest. The majority of users just passively ab

Most users of Reddit are pretty passive. They won't change their behaviour because of this. It's the power users that's a different matter. The people most engaged with Reddit are likely to be among those who actually partici

I think its just frustrating to see the same pattern over and over. Start with a user centric experience, capture a large market, progressively worsen experience to make it more appealing to investors (they love bland and stale apparently),

People seem to falsely equate liberal with leftwing. They are very different. In fact no one hates liberals quite like left wingers. Democrats are liberal, not leftist (though they have adopted some leftist bits) Liberals (and neoliberals)

It always amuses me to see how left and right differ between nations. US conservatives are protesting and restricting immigration when in New Zealand, the conservatives are wildly pro immigration. Their argument is that it drives house pric

It feels like the more a company tries to pump value for shareholders, the less value is left over for users. Reddit has been very obviously working towards an IPO for some time and you can see it in the worsening user experience and onerou

My watch tells me when I have a meeting in 10min, if I get a call and if a family member messages. That's it. If I need to take medication I'll set an alarm as well but that's still infrequent. Only things I know I have to ta

Maybe part of it is that when the world didn't change much, the oldest become the wisest. They survived it all. They've seen more and understand the dangers and pitfalls. Now the world changes so fast that its not as true. A lot o

I feel like this website sold me on a problem then finished before reaching a solution. Was there advice on how to do better? Maybe I missed it.

Your comment is quite a ride to read. I, like some other commenters, had an immediate negative reaction to the 'income inequality is good' statement. Having read the whole thing a few times I generally agree with your position. Di

That's a pretty cynical take but there are some truly old businesses in the world where generations of families have worked and enjoyed a good life. Work can uplift people and be a centre of the community. Or it can be like most are to

Plus that company would look after you if you committed to them and they might employ your kids and grandkids too if you could help keep them around. Now... Doesn't matter if your employer succeeds or fails. You just go somewhere else

Wealthy profit-maximizing executives in perfect control of an AI is far more scary to me than an autonomous AI is. At least with the AI in charge, there's hope that it might act in humanity's interests.

What kind of interactions are you expecting to have? People on any social media are either career self promoters, or they are on the toilet, waiting impatiently somewhere or procrastinating small snippets of time. It's only ever going

Yes, this is the definition of neoliberals. In their view the government should only ever operate and enforce market rules (which includes protecting the market from external threats via military). The government should have no opinion on a

Somehow I imagine the 200 IQ one being more of a series of fragmented thoughts and references to other concepts that would only make sense to someone else of similar intelligence. They would need far less context and explanation than the ot

What a toxic mindset. As long as it hurts the other team then it's good? You could have appealed to any virtue to celebrate it but instead you went for the most base tribalism of all.

The thing that drives me nuts about him and his show can be found in episode 1. He does some scanning of the temple and finds three underground chambers. He cites them as evidence and speculates that they might prove him right and they are

You can always tell a conspiracy theory when it relies on some nebulous group of villains to prop it up. "They don't want you to know what I'm telling you". Tell me clearly who 'they' refers to. Big archeology?

I'm sure plenty of people would love that job on their CV or filling their bank account but of the actually qualified people, who would want to be micromanaged by Elon Musk? There's better options out there

He's just speed running all the decisions and problems the last lot faced. They started with anyone being able to say anything too, and then spent 10+ years finding every exception and complication to that policy.

I'm also from NZ. No one cares about this really. Smoking is already unpopular and people feel little sympathy for the plight of future smokers. We don't have the same culture of personal freedoms at any cost as many commenters he

I definitely agree with that but it's a whole other thing. It's a travesty that we don't have walkable cities and we are all hostage to cars and parking to get anywhere. All us 'New World' countries like the US, Can

Are there any thoughts on how this will become a power plant yet? It's awesome to see it filled up, reacted and then reset as a proof of concept, but can it ever be a continuous flow through the chamber without losing that ignition tem

There's definitely some merit to this view. It's much like how in a political primary all candidates pander to the extreme so that they win and then immediately ignore them and pivot to the other side to scoop up votes from the ot

Exactly. Elon is going for theatrics but none of the releases are big enough to break through to the average person. All of them together might but these scraps of news aren't doing it. Also they cite these right wing personalities bei

Living on Mars will be trash. Even if we pull it off, it will be like being stuck in a submarine or Antarctica in the winter. 'Outside' doesn't exist for you without significant protections. Nothing can come close to replicat
