  I mean Ben Stein would have some serious competition for the Clear Eyes commercials in the 90s

  There’s a long list of incidents where his visor (or sunglasses) are removed

  I’m not sure I can think of a more crack-headed thing than starting a sentence with “I hired this cat” but I’m also not trying very hard

  I distinctly recall thinking inner monologues were a “neat idea” after seeing them on TV as a child and thinking it would be a useful skill to learn. I never did though

  That’s pretty cool if that means a change in diet can be a viable treatment

  Always forget printers exist but can’t say I’m surprised. Added this to the list of exceptions and made the title more accurate

  Any specific service you’ve seen doing this?

  I’ve not experimented as much with cloud providers or non-American companies so not yet sure if this is a byproduct of industry practice, market pressures on public companies or legal requirements and counter examples could help

  I should also point out the good: many of them (like Netflix) are very open about how cancelation works once one goes to that section of their site

  Unfortunately, sometimes that’s all it takes, especially when not diluted by opposing viewpoints, but let me–without any knowledge of the specific contents–take a crack at countering the negativity bias of those narratives:

  • 30% of the global energy generation comes from renewable now

  • Social media is bringing the demand for better public transit to a fever pitch

  • Trump 1 has a lot of news sources careful to investigate claims before platforming whatever a US president says because “who would abuse that power?” (anecdotal and European bias here but many of these outlets are accessible online for free)

  • America may finally be joining the modern world with HSR between Canada HSR, that California project and the one connecting LA to Vegas (some rumblings about importing the Shinkansen to connect the Texas Triangle, too)

  If these sound relevant to what you’re used to seeing, I’d recommend asking yourself if any of the communities can acknowledge improvement, in other words: if you’re following a (hypothetical) community called “Don’t Kick Puppies” because who wouldn’t support that cause, well not only did you just sign up for a stream of puppy kicking content but one moderated by somebody invested in convincing people the issue is a pressing concern regardless of what the data indicate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm so tired.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “I have a good life[…] The world is so terrible” screams “I engage with social media toxic to my mental health” to me but my context of your existence is 3 sentences so…

  Take that as advice or criticism but the world has never been perfect and certainly will never be as close to perfect as the funnel of negativity online echo chambers and recommendation algos can be
