  • Online Content Is Disappearing
  • Certain types of tweets tend to go away more often than others. More than 40% of tweets written in Turkish or Arabic are no longer visible on the site within three months of being posted.

    I've read this is a major problem in Facebook as well, they lack good moderation for these languages and especially the Arabic script and so just remove things heavy handedly to be safe.

  • What's your most unpopular opinion about music ?
  • Lyrics ruin most music. This is one is weird because I actually love the sound of the human voice, but it most music its just ugly. Also most of the lyrics themselves suck. Usually vague, meaningless, hoping you'll interpret them as something deep. There's just so many songs that most lyrics have to be bad.

    Also drums ruin most music. They are harsh, dissonant, overly loud, overpower subtler instruments, and reduce complex, varying melodies to a simple beat. Even when I want simple heavy beats, I prefer electronic alternatives (no idea what they're called) so it's not so harsh

    CBT as a kink may be an evolutionary adaptation to protect men's most vulnerable (and evolutionarily useful) body part.

    I have no idea why it's out there, but I suppose abusing it a bit may help toughen it up enough to ensure you can still have children when an accident happens.

    Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?

    I went to some palestine protests a while back, and was talking to my brother about the organizing, when revealed something I found pretty shocking, we (the protesters) had acquired a permit to hold the protest. Apparently this is standard policy across the US.

    More recently, my University is also having protests, and in their policy, they also require explicit approval for what they call "expressive activity". I'm pretty sure not having a permit has been used as an excuse to arrest students in some other campuses.

    My question is as the title, doesn't this fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech? What kind of right needs an extra permit to exercise it?

    When I was talking to my brother, he also expressed a couple more points:

    1. The city will pretty much grant all permits, so it's more of a polite agreement in most cases
    2. If we can get a permit (which we did) why shouldn't we?

    I'm assuming this is because of legal reasons, they pretty much have to grant all permits.

    Except I think this makes it all worse. If the government grants almost all permits, then the few rare times it doesn't:

    1. The protest is instantly de-legitimized due to not having a permit
    2. There's little legal precedent for the protesters to challenge this

    And then of course there's the usual slippery slope argument. You're giving the government a tool they could expand later to oppress you further. Maybe they start with the groups most people don't like and go up from there.

    The corporate boot licking of Google after firing the palestine protestors in insane

    Why are so many people ok with a world where you have no say in what your employer does, and they can do whatever they want to suit their bottom line?

    Though I wonder how much of this is actually corpophilia and how much is people hiding behind it because they don't want to say "I'm glad these people I disagree with got fired".

    Here are some threads to show what I'm talking about:

    r/technology

    r/conservative (though this one feels like cheating)

    r/bayarea

    r/google
