  • Not mixing fabrics and certain food practices were originally based on lived experience, like safety guidance, before getting coopted by religion. Kosher practices avoid cross contamination, and mixed fabrics could have something to do with temperature regulation in desert areas where it swings between extreme heat and cold daily. Or it could have existed to discourage lying about prodict quality by those who would sneak in poor quality materials.

    When religion got ahold of these concepts they were absolutely twisted into controlling people.








  • Depends on the spellchecker/autocorrect. I know they are technically different because of how you interact with them, but autocorrect is just an automated spellchecker/grammar checker.

    The spellchecker/grammar checker in my web browser on my desktop is great, barely need to fix anything and it brings things to my attention. It also tells me something is wrong, then I choose whether to do the correction.

    The autocorrect on my phone is a steaming pile of crap that changes words into other words that it shouldn’t, so I ended up turning it off because it wouldn’t let me confirm a correct spelling for something that was close to another word.

    So any typos in my posts will be due to doing it on a phone without a spellcheck, since I turned that off and my thumbs aren’t as reliable as my fingers.




  • Yeah, there are a handful of extremely prolific posters who are awesome and keep the whole thing fresh. Then there are a couple dozen that I see at least a few times a week if not more. After that, I see a mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces.since I scroll All.

    But even reddit had a similar pattern on a larger scale proportionate to the userbase. There were like a dozen prolific posters (or bots) whose threads got the most engagement even when they were reposts of someone else’searlier post.

    I like to think of it like movies and tv, where a few prolific actors and actresses are everywhere and in things that get a lot of attention, but there are also a ton of people also participating but without as much attention because they are in fewer popular things.

    If someone browses hot or new they will absolutely see the same few people the majority of the time since those are the most active people. Browse Active and there are a lot more that arrived a few hours after the post was made.
