  Kinda. But this “comment” system is more set up to encourage replying to others rather than the original subject.

  That would be an easy fix though.

  I feel like we can’t use services anymore at all. We need protocols and clients to connect to each other using those protocols and stop using centralized anything at all.

  99% of what I’ve done in discord is a private server with like 5 or 6 regulars just to use voice coms in game.

  But we already had that with TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, and Mumble. The UIs were fucking ugly as dog shit, but they worked.

  Discord just came along and and combined a global (to a set of members) chat room and a voice service, where before those were separate.

  Now if something is “just” a website then no one under like 25 will be able to hear of it, much less figure out how to use it. They need apps to be able to communicate.

  The problem is that bigger services obviously have a problem of scale with that setup, so they start simple and get a bigger audience, then start the spying with some tiny change no one will check patch notes for.

  These days we’re all guilty of that.

  Capitalism is again the bad guy here. Monetizing everyone’s actions and identities is the particular issue. No one would feel a need to do this if it didn’t lead to more profits. I’ll bet there are a bunch of companies that started off good and fell to the dark side when they couldn’t control their monetary appetite. (Or when younger employees took on promoted positions and saw opportunity- all they had to do was (cough cough) stop not being evil (cough cough)).

  This just looks like a more blatant version of that food movie. I can’t even remember the name of it, but y’all know what I mean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good first step, but I’m scared by the word “unbiased”.

  For a conservative, there’s no way that means “unbiased”, it’s gonna man “un-leftist”, because clearly there are only “wokes” and “normals”, and he’ll expect you to see a “normal”.

  Maybe he’s ahead of the curve, but that word strikes great in me.

  At the very least he does seem to actually understand it without resorting to insulting terms or snide comments, so I have hope for him.

  I really hope this works out for you, OP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the KKK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the regular people. I’ve got no problem with them. Known several, never had any issues.

  This is more of on the scale of a “big pharma” kinda thing. I think the biggest benefit that idiotic system could ever have to have any hope of getting even half way back to breaking even on their good/bad balance is completely dissolving and actually donating their billions of dollars to something besides buying a new golden throne, and secondly, to execute every priest in their ranks who did the CSA.

  Then there’s the whole spreading their beliefs by force thing.

  I mean they probably all have secrets that are terrible, but that group in particular hasn’t been good, ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the KKK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean I hate everything about catholicism too. I mean I hate all religions, but catholicism specifically. But I don’t burn their symbols. I just avoid any circumstance I would have to be exposed to of it.

  But yeah, still doesn’t make sense to burn a symbol you share with the people you hate. This is just their silent screams of self hatred. Not loud enough to drown out the “everything besides white people” hatred, but still somehow present. I guess they can’t even like themselves. Too busy hating.

  Gotta get that hate-love ratio under control.

  I’m still hoping that second year is incorrect. I hope at the very most it is equal to the first year.

  So many problems cease to exist when he does. Few would come up from the same.

  Unless he does and by then Elon becomes the actual president instead of all this play acting. Trump is sucking his cock raw.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adolf Titler⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s actually a pretty toxic thought train. Combat resigned shouldn’t be an important feature of leaders or respected members of society.

  Granted, this is fine for this case- I’ll allow it.

  I think we all have pretty negative trains of thought about this guy. If I wasn’t afraid of legal consequences, I would still sleep well with his head on my scorecard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adolf Titler⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Too bad this doesn’t translate as well audibly.

  But I lol’d.

  I want disagreeing with either of you, just adding to the sentiment.

  There should be an accessibility option then. It shouldn’t be such a huge pain for everyone just so accessibility becomes the issue. Although up and down always working kinda destroys your whole point anyway.

  Name me one situation where they need to use left and right instead of up/down.

  This situation clearly doesn’t exist. OP is correct.

  The cowboy hat always subtracts like half of what I would otherwise assume their IQ to be.

  I have never seen or heard of someone smart wearing a cowboy hat. Outside of doing a satire or parody.

  Yeah I leave it at my brother’s house for our weekly movie and TV day, and he had them already so I didn’t spend more than like 15 minutes looking at those.

  But it’s on the back burner for a QoL update like that.

  I still use the 5.1 system I got with my first computer in '04.

  Which then travels… over HDMI. I realize that’s not what you meant but technically…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys a TV without researching⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they were, they should be free. Yet there’s still triple and quad digit prices on these things that probably cost like 8% of that to build (because of slave labor probably), and the subsidy on top should mean they’re literally paying us monthly to have their screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys a TV without researching⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This really seems to be the right answer. At least while computer monitors stay dumb.

  Get one of those tiny PCs that you can just leave behind the TV, get a wireless mouse and keyboard too.

  Nothing on TV isn’t available online anyway. Paying the cable company for anything more than an Internet connection seems like setting money on fire to me. Maybe sports would be difficult, but that can literally be found if you know what you’re doing. Even games you wouldn’t be able to with TV.

  Cable TV just seems to me like a boomer’s version of the Internet. It has no place in a world with the Internet, change my mind. The ads on TV are worse than what you find on any popular website/app.

  But as usual, capitalism is messing everything up with the marketing. In a world where hi speed Internet is widely available, “TV” just has no use. None. And worse, the commercials are now leaking through your literal screen.

  I’m not saying that ads aren’t a problem, but there’s a hell of a lot more you can do about them.

  In a perfect world, there would be a place you could go whenever you wanted something and find products and solutions for that thing, and there wouldn’t be ads in anything else at all.

  But until there’s an actual argument to say TV technology isn’t totally worthless, my stance is simply “no TVs are necessary or useful”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe, just maybe, a company that refuses to give you time off if you have a bullet inside of you is a really really shitty company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Having a job where you’re responsible for dealing with a cover gives me the work ick.

  Bro, I’m sick. Take the L and live without me, nothing is my problem today. I can’t live on pins and needles about going in when I’m dying just because I can’t find a replacement. Or being terrified that my day off might belong to someone else who needs cover.

  That’s just a hostile workplace imo. The instant I feel like shit I instantly don’t gaf at all. Just calling to say I won’t be there is already annoying and work-like enough.

  Granted I’ve only had jobs where I was a replaceable cog (well, mostly replaceable-made myself pretty knowledgeable) so it wasn’t like I had individual-specific responsibilities and clients that would be put out or anything.

  But work life balance kinda depends on not having to only get sick when someone else feels like voluntarily covering. That shit is oppressive af in my eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DC Scrambles To Remove 'City Ads' Calling Trump Supporters 'Trash'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems like it’s indicating trump, not a follower to me. Not a pristine drawing, but it would be bizarre to have one resemble him that much but not indicate him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates Apple⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I tried to give the benefit of doubt even after hating Apple in general. I’m out of ideas of ways he wasn’t a complete idiot that was doing stupid things for stupid reasons. And I’ve always been happy he’s dead since I heard he was.

  I actively celebrate deaths of stops and evil people alike. I’ve never seen the point of curbing it under terms like “I don’t wish him dead, but I won’t be sad to see his obituary”. No I am actually am happy he’s dead and just giddy to see his obit.

  Kinda like I’m sure everyone was glad to see Hitler dead. I just get happy about evil AND stupid people’s deaths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates Apple⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if the treatment is specifically miserable, that could be a factor.
