I love how everybody is so busy about mining your behavior for ad tracking data and then like 2/3 of the ads I actually see are utterly irrelevant gut doctor / toenail fungus / 17 Most Embarrassing Topless Celebrity Moments crap.

(I think the reality is that they're mining that data to identify a small number of people susceptible to high-value scams - like getting addicted to an F2P mobile game and spending $1000s on it - and the rest of us just get generic infill)

Can I get a 'fuck spez'

Honestly, if the combination of AI porn + good AR + haptic fleshlights gets us to a point where horny single men with limited real-world romantic prospects can have fulfilling sex lives without having to bug any actual living women to attain them, I think the world will be a better place.

The most unrealistic thing about this is the fact that they get to the recipe after just one paragraph; the real version of this would have like 27 photos of the father, a long essay about growing up and his various demons, etc, and there would be at least half a dozen banners about things gut doctors are begging you not to eat along the way.

Great, seeing a picture of a trans man has made me aware of the existence of trans people, and therefore, according to GOP logic, it's only a matter of time before I become trans myself and have to fucking go bra shopping.

Yeah, but in exchange for a brief flurry of engagement they have to put up with another wave of articles about angry reddit user protests:

This feels very much like an /r/thathappened post

This is good advice; I suspect they're outside of the FBI's jurisdiction, but they could also be random idiots, in which case they're random idiots who are about to become registered sex offenders.

I don't think proselytizing is necessary anymore; we've got enough folks on here now to get a sustainable community going, other people gradually finding their way over here over the next year or two (much as it happened with digg) is much better than a crazy server-destroying / spam-proliferating rush.

Reddit was perfectly enjoyable a decade ago with 10% as many users, we don't need very many of them to be able to offer a worthy reddit replacement to anybody who seeks one. (plus I suspect within 6 months or so we'll have way better apps than reddit does)

"We are everywhere" -> "literally dozens of us"

Any time a loser wants to feel like less of a loser they need only look at this loser and realize that they are, comparatively speaking, not a loser at all

She ran for office on an anti-gerrymandering platform, and the voters elected her (by a huge margin!) in large part because of that; if there's any case she should not recuse herself from, it's this one.

(obviously it'd be better if we didn't have to resolve political questions like this through supreme court elections, but if the legislature creates a situation where it's impossible to vote them out directly, voters are left with little alternative but to fix the system through elected justices)

Along with everything else wrong with this: your icon is literally your brand, and you want your branding to be flawless + everywhere.

This would be like Nike putting an ugly pixelated version of their logo on cheaper sneakers to encourage you to buy more expensive ones; whatever pocket change they made from upgraders would be dwarfed by the damage it would do to their trademark.

Hardly any mention of this from Apple or their associated media, despite the fact that an AAA game launching a Mac port on day 1 is virtually unheard-of in 2023.

I think at this point we can pretty much assume that anybody who makes public speeches about sexual perversion is, themself, a pervert.

If Trump suffers a stroke and ends up in a wheelchair and/or partially paralyzed himself, I think this comment gives everyone permission to feel happy about that.

Hah, if this happened nowadays you'd have to sign up for a $1000/month subscription for 100 words a month on a 5-year contract, pay a $35/word overage fee, and if you didn't use all 100 words in a particular month, you could pay $5/word to roll over up to 10 of them to the next month. And if you try to cancel your subscription after those 5 years, they put you on hold for 3 hours and then accidentally hang up on you.

Hope everyone enjoyed the coldest summer of the rest of their lives.

They can't even start accepting complaints under this new law until next July, then it's a complicated process with two different panels of former prosecutors/judges, a number of whom are appointed by the not-particuarly-pro-Trump governor. It'll definitely be used to punish prosecutors for not prosecuting drug/abortion/etc crimes the way they want them to, but it's going to be too slow + indifferent + late to affect Willis.

Worth noting that this was not a great leap - the judge didn't rule anything particularly interesting about trans rights, he simply said that freedom of association means you can't go to court to force a private organization to exclude someone.

Todd Howard doesn't do what Todd Howard does for Todd Howard. Todd Howard does what Todd Howard does because Todd Howard is... Todd Howard.
