Honestly you can get a lot done just by wrapping a rubber band or two around your phone, it’ll kinda catch and hold in your pocket and make it more notable if someone tries to pull it out. Works for your wallet too, and all without building a whole ass mousetrap for your pocket.

You underestimate how horny the internet is.

But it’s okay, because now we can get wrong answers faster than ever, and we’ve taken human creativity and joy out of art.

Apple will tie themselves in knots to make it impossible to repair your tech 3rd party, and maybe even refusing to fix it if it WAS repaired 3rd party before, but I’ve never heard of them also requiring that it be destroyed and your personal information given over.

It’s honestly impressive to find out that someone is WORSE than Apple when it comes to repairing and customer rights.

The harder you push the pedal the more you want your speed to decrease, obviously. But if you push it hard enough then the decrease from your current speed to Zero is no longer enough. So now the engineers need to decide if you’ll speed up first, so the decrease from the new speed to zero is larger, or if it’ll slam you into reverse instead.

You’re assuming Steam will just completely ignore a situation where players are flat out incapable of playing the game they paid for.

Yes Elmo, I’m sure that will solve your problems. Well done.

So… they can identify when someone in a conversation is a minor. And they can identify when nudes are being sent. But when these two are combined, they figure just blurring the image is the appropriate solution?

In essence, when the growth rate slows to a certain point, people are dying faster than they’re being replaced, and the trend can only continue unless everyone starts having 10 kids.

Growth is growth. It’s not tracking only births, it’s tracking births against deaths. Population decline is people dying faster than they’re being replaced, but even “very slow growth” would still mean the population is increasing.

First time here that “if you had to pick one” felt like a threat and not a limit.

Big talk from a small man. The internet hasn’t forgotten the buried sub you were moderator of, Spez.

Good, he can ruin that and actually do some good for once in his life.

It was called Popcorn Lung because it was caused by a specific chemical used in early Popcorn flavored vapes. That is not a condition caused by all vapes, and the chemical that caused it is no longer used for obvious reasons.

Edited for the pedantic.

I just meant it’s a coincidence that the bots reposting popular content would mean that people deleting their post and comment history would still have their most popular content preserved. I don’t think the preservation of potentially removed content is their purpose, I think the appearance of activity and engagement is the purpose.

Just like my plan to eradicate the Mosquito population by first maintaining an enormous pool of stagnant water for them to breed in, then draining it once they’re all here!

I’m sure it’s a happy coincidence for the owners, but I’d hardly call it diabolical. I feel like it’s more likely they just want to preserve the impression of activity and engagement. If the bots were suddenly gone it would be that much more obvious that Reddit is something like a cross between a ruined and abandoned industrial wasteland, and an open pit toilet at the undercooked burrito festival.

Anybody else remember when Musk said he was buying Twitter so he could get rid of all the bots? Once again he does exactly the opposite of what he said he would.

Honestly nationalizing it would be a bad idea. Once it’s government owned, then the 1st amendment would actually apply and banning people, including the more openly Nazi accounts than you can imagine, would probably be illegal. It would be overrun with even more heinous filth than it houses now.

It really is best for everyone that Twitter dies, and good news! Under Musk’s incredible zero-win leadership, it looks pretty inevitable!

I honestly don’t think he was TRYING to do anything but shitpost. It didn’t look like a well thought out plan, it looked like an idiot talking out of his ass and realizing that his memes were also crimes.
