Odd coming from someone who is fucking retired.
I’d suspect he sacrificed work-life balance his whole career (yes, CEOs are known for golfing and vacations, but I bet they still think of work 24/7). So just like people complaining about student loan forgiveness, some people get so angry if they perceive someone might have an easier experience than they did.
I’m seeding 5TB of Anna’s - all I did was say how much data I could take and the site made a pack of torrents that needed help. It’s the least I can do for all the knowledge I’ve benefited from.
“Snitches get <wounds that will require> stitches” Doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.
That’s a delightful response to my snarky comment, thank you.
I agree, the incentive structure is such that it undermines the goals of journalism. Compounded with a firehose of misinformation, even full-time journalists must be overwhelmed.
I’m unwilling to give them a pass, however. Their job is to report accurately, they understand the risk of reporting things that are not fully vetted, and choose to anyway. As you say, they’re complicit.
Surely you’re not accusing the media of any malfeasance!
(adult users of TikTok? This sounds so weird and foreign to me; I must be too old)

TikTok has 1.25 billion monthly active users, nearly half of Americans are on TikTok. The majority of people on TikTok are adults.
The number of people who believe in homeopathy after it’s explained to them is TOO DAMN HIGH.
So what if he is?

The Zoom RTO was just hilarious.

“Consent” was not a popular topic on early Reddit. Or the internet writ large, I guess.
This article is from 2018 and talks a bit about the suspected causes of increased myopia. The theory is that our eyes are responding to the environment and elongating (axial myopia). So it’s not that humans have lost the ability to have good vision via selection, it’s that we’re adapting to screen vision.
Your point about natural selection is well addressed by @[email protected] already.
Comparing Japan to a prison colony makes it look a little more reasonable.

It’s a big school, I bet he was. But not THAT William Taft.
Where’s the lie? I just can’t trust you “gibbons can fly” people.
Well you’re really just inheriting a subscription to the house, you have to keep paying the annual fees or the state takes it away from you.
I kinda like the new google. It’s strong and wrong and doesn’t afraid of anything.
What you say is true, but also ignores the alt-right pipelining that YouTube and others are seemingly complicit in, or at the very least is the result of perverse incentives.
And I’ll say the exact same thing about TikTok. It’s serving as primary sources for many problems around the world, it’s giving more broad and informed, collegiate level discussions of the world, and it’s full of brainrotting limbic hijacking. All true and I don’t think any generation is fully equipped to deal it.
We can also see historically that banning a “vice” has never effectively removed the vice from society.
