It’s my Hotmail account

Yeah I’m inclined to agree. There is a lot of “this isn’t speculation”, yet there’s a lot of speculation. A source on where it says this in Project 2025 would be handy.

It’s the SUV drivers fault, but the cement truck should not be able to lose its load through a sudden stop.

Well, I kind of disagree with the up/down votes being inherently bad, as they more front-load early posting rather than accurate posting. Meaning early engagement is likely to have higher upvotes rather than engagement which is factual and well thought out. This incentivizes much more emotional and meme posting.

I’ve seen it happen time and time again on Reddit and even here: someone makes post, bunch of people react only to the headline, or spread misinformation, and by the time nuanced posts and thought out posts are made, engagement has plummeted and people have moved on to the next thing.

Yeah, but in this day and age we’re going to grow with easy-to-consume content e.g. memes. Once growth hits a critical mass then the niche communities will come.

I would imagine if you made karma points limited on the spender side rather than unlimited, then it might make users “try harder” to get validation, thus improving the quality of content on average.

Or it all could be bullshit and fail. Hard to say. You are right though, it’s all manufactured for engagement.

I think the only way to really fix this is to make votes a limited asset that accounts have. There are forums where this has worked okay: bodybuilding.com forums has a reputation system where accounts are limited in what they can give to other voters.

As long as “karma” is unlimited it suffers from the same problems whether you count it in aggregate or not. As some other commenters have said, people still seek validation in individual comments. I know because I do too.

Interestingly i followed up on the prompt and it was self aware enough to say it was stupid to flag it, but that it was something in its backend flagging “balancing” as the problem prompt

Like most of these “anti-theft” pieces of shit, it only negatively impacts and inconveniences those who don’t steal (or don’t intend to steal). Everyone else is just going to find a way to steal.

Been there a couple of times.

It’s… whelming.

I’ve had a 3D printer about a year now. I’d say I’ve gotten my money’s worth: I’ve printed generally useful things that aren’t just gimmicks.

But I also think I’ve been pretty lucky - there are some problems that I just don’t have the patience to deal with right now, for example some materials just don’t adhere to the bed. But I haven’t had anything fundamental that would make me really pissed off.

I could have totally seen myself in the same position as you if I ended up with a dud printer or something. It’s getting a lot better but it’s certainly not an instant plug-and-play device for most people.

Poo on wall

I’ll get my /c/ock out

Average capitalist bootlickers. Social media was a mistake

My brother refused to listen to Whip It by Devo because he thought it was gay.

He associated to that scene in the Simpsons with Smithers dancing along to it in chaps.

I sincerely apologize for providing evidence of my claim that some men don’t wash their ass. I’ll remember for next time that I specifically have to know men that don’t wash their ass for my claim to have any validity, or else theKalash will not believe me.

lol actually just look. Literally tens-hundreds of stories. It’s not a global conspiracy or group false memory. I get the Reddit hate but that’s just silly.

Edit: some of you struggle. Y’all understand that I can lie about a personal experience much more easily than I could lie about the combined hundreds of experiences of mutually individual people on the internet. How is it that until I’ve personally experienced it it must be false? Real cream of the crop with you lot.

If you search for “boyfriend refuses to wash ass reddit” on Google there are plenty of stories for you to eat your dinner over.
