When the 25lb bag is mostly weavels?

90% of Spotify is trash. Much like Audible, it’s just choking on AI generated content and similar worthless vanity projects

Knowing HTTP status codes is a prerequisite for transitioning

The Onion: Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock?

That’s apparently apocryphal. The rate of pullover tracks with the most common car color (currently white). Driver behavior (speeding, illegal turning, etc) and other outstanding features (lapsed registration, broken tail light) are the most common proximate causes for a pull over.

Excited for a Pokemon with more explicit advocacy of Eugenics

“We’re releasing a Vaporion that can get pregnant”

Going to gouge all the midstream businesses in the long run. Hardware retailers, PC assemblers, all those little companies selling custom cases and overclock kits and fancy cooling appliances.

The lack of cheap but crucial components will have some ugly coat tails for the rest of the industry.

I’m more annoyed at how a mod ban removes your ability to “block community” on the current front end. So I’m forced to go into settings and add them to my block list manually.

I don’t particularly like a default policy that lets a community fill up your feed with content you’re not allowed to participate in.

I don’t think they actually care. It’s just something they can get mad at

It’s a vast improvement over the black box of Reddit. But a big stretch to claim its transparent in a material sense. Most people don’t have the time or background to figure out the what and why of a mod action. And once something is removed, it’s dead to time.

Reddit felt smug, but not unfriendly.

No shortage of outright nail-chewing psychos on Reddit, depending on your instance. But I’ve found the subs with mods who swing the ban hammer the hardest tend to cultivate a community of folks who love sniffing their own farts more than butting heads.

Fortunately, its a message board not a military tribunal. You’re not going to kill anyone by posting at them.

I’ve seen a number of accounts that seem to harp on a single topic, grow increasingly adversarial if you dispute or refute anything posted, and eventually just start screaming insults until you block them.

This feels like very old-school early '10s era Reddit, where the Admins don’t do more than the high level stuff to keep the site operational, the Mods are as overworked as they are short-tempered, and a handful of power users dictate the content of any given channel by spamming it with whatever media supports their personal grudges.

The difference is the Modlog, which means everyone can see the receipt

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

You can never have enough.

That was The History Channel, which mostly existed to monetize old documentaries and whose producers quickly realized WW2 was the most watched material.

TLC was a non profit distance learning initiative set up in 1972 by the Appalachian Regional Commission in partnership with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and NASA. It was privatized in '86, first by the Financial News Network’s $3M takeover bid and then by The Discovery Channel five years later. This second sale set of a period of reorganizing around Reality TV that would become it’s Hallmark in the '00s

I’m hard pressed to name a nominee that wasn’t made with love. And it seems weird to insist a game as lauded as E33 needs another awards show genuflection to reaffirm it’s status.

If you really want to scare a German with Santa Claus, tell them he’s Turkish.
