There are a lot of well-meaning bots that bring posts here from other places, but they do more harm than good because we end up with a lot of low-quality posts that have been vetted by no one, and a low ratio of commenters/comments relative to a big flood of posts. So the result is a ton of posts with 0 or very few comments and low average quality.

If the only posts here were posts that someone decided was worth making, we'd have fewer, higher-quality posts, and more comments per post.

Also, with the quality of Twitter and Reddit deteriorating, it doesn't help to import those shitty dying cultures here. We should be building new cultures.

Jack Dorsey is not part of Bluesky, maybe you don't get things because you don't pay attention.

You're doing the wrong math. In a year with no car accidents you get $0 back in benefits for your car insurance costs. In a year with decent health it's the same thing, you may pay more with insurance than without insurance, but you don't have to worry about being wiped out if something really bad happens.

Just turn it off. If they don't have income they don't exist.

Fuck the very idea of buying anything at CVS other than a prescription. Their prices are predatory high.

And I wouldn't install their fucking app on Bea Arthur's phone.

I'd die for Luna. Doesn't mean much right now, but, still.

It's never bothered me. It gives their sound some character. If I remember correctly, I didn't always love it on the acoustic solo Martin + Me album, but even then it wasn't a total dealbreaker.

This rule would give the team that's behind more favorable conditions to score in the last 2 minutes than the other team had throughout the game. It's just gifting time to the losing team. I don't think one team should be rewarded for being behind at the end. More exciting, yes, but not fair.

I'm fairly certain any publisher could charge advertisers more money if they could prove the ads are being watched or listened to. And the advertisers would be happy with that.

Right, the elephant in the room was always that replacing vast human labor was the holy grail that justified the crazy investment.

Nuke it from orbit.

I had a gay friend and then fell for his straight female best friend. It didn't go well.
