The biggest difference I've noticed is that people have stopped reading sentences. They'll read all the words and then upvote based on the feeling those individual words give them. They won't consider the meaning of all those words put together.
And yeah, "upvote does not mean agree" is something Reddit has always struggled with, but it has definitely had exponential growth lately.
It has made me start writing more clearly. There are comments I've written that have been wildly misinterpreted from my actual meaning. Part of that is that I tend towards sarcasm, and it doesn't translate well over the internet no matter how absurd I get with it. But I've also started aiming to use more simple sentence structure.
it isn’t sorting by “contribute/doesn’t contribute,” that’s for sure.
It's both. You're not wrong with the groupthink thing, but they absolutely do help to combat disinformation and useless comments. I get that you've made a decision, but you don't need to rationalize away the negatives.
You can get a cheap android (but don't have to). You can't get a cheap iPhone.
And are you really going to get your 12 year old the latest flagship android when there are cheaper options?
If every android kid got the latest Pixel, I bet they wouldn't be seen as "the cheap phone".
Plus Apple's been pushing nearly every anticompeitive angle they can. The iMessage thing is 100% intentional. It's not that the android phones aren't capable of working with iMessage. It's that Apple wants to make your experience worse when something happens that doesn't involve giving them money. Because they want you to push your friends into an iPhone, and people are dumb enough to fall for it.
New roof, solar panels, battery, EV, remodel part of the house, new siding, buy a small house in my neighborhood to function as a guest house, take care of my parents, spend a couple months in Europe.
Oh, you meant the rest of it. Government bonds are always good. You can also use more than one bank to expand the $250k limit (which applies per account type and bank). A trust, for example, is insured separately from your checking account.
Past that, I couldn't tell you. Your financial advisor would though, just make sure they have a "fiduciary duty" to serve your interests.
Keep in mind that in these situations it's not always their fault. Sometimes two other people have pulled in straight and they're the third. Then the other two leave, and they just look like an ass.
Or maybe they're just an ass. Can really go either way.
We're not that different with the teens. We effectively say "seven ten", "eight ten", "nine ten". You don't think of nineteen as "nine+ten", it's just its own number. Well, the French take that one step farther.
If you're a European citizen. They'll fulfill this request (after 30 days) regardless, but I don't believe they're legally obligated to for US citizens.
It's just easier to comply with EU laws for everyone than it is for them to figure out if you're a European citizen or not.
It's not primarily about abortion rights. This vote was about preventing people from voting.
Each bullet point of the amendment was more fuckery than the last, and it starts with the 60% threshold.
More egregious than that was that it was going to move the signature requirement to get something onto the ballot from 5% of half the counties, to 5% of all the counties, significantly raising the cost to get anything accomplished (other than through the gerrymandered legislature).
Even more egregious, they wanted to eliminate the ten day period to fix any issues with the signatures. So you'd submit the signatures, and some rural county commissioner would say "this street belongs to the next county over". Now your signatures are invalid and you throw the entire effort into the trash.
If this passes, it would have pulled up the ladder. It would have prevented any other amendment supported by the people of Ohio.
The use case for these drives is always a single point of failure. It's camera footage out in the field. You have to get it home before you have proper storage.
Do you have a dashcam for your vehicle? Do you have backups before you get the footage home?
One of my last comments on Reddit was about this.
