  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm curious.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll be happier not knowing

  Chin Diesel

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of you are alright but some of you are just ok⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Should do so on its own if one of the legs is shorter than the other(s)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, your mom was around back then…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the difference?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be both

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: You can continue to access subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

  Added

  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.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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

  I may be playing Freecell wrong

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting logic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting logic or backstory?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Middle-Aged Man Trading Cards Go Viral in Rural Japan Town⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be thrilled to be considered “middle aged” at 81

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than Canada and Australia, which countries are best alternatives to traveling to the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Siberia, Russia or Svalbard, Norway

  You were planning on going to rural Alaska, right?

  It’s obviously referring to the guy in the background watching them talk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In almost 100% of scenarios that I can think of, the underdog is always the "good guy"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The challenge isn’t finding counter examples, it’s limiting the narrative of history to have a simple “good/bad divide” but here are some selections one may consider the underdog the greater of two evils:

  • The confederacy (US Civil War)
  • Caesar’s army crossing the Rubicon
  • Imperial Japan post Pearl Harbor
  • Pakistan’s complicated history with India
  • King Leonidas and his men (Persia was arguably more equitable)
  • Austria-Hungary (WW1)
  • Fascist Italy (WW2)

  As for David and Goliath, keep in mind David was using a sling, a weapon that can hit with the same force as a modern revolver when used properly. It’s entirely possible that story is an allegory and/or propaganda of the value of properly equipping one’s armies; it probably shouldn’t be viewed as anymore impressive than a rampage killer fatally wounding somebody twice their size

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Nintendo Switch 2 the end of innovative consoles?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Switch was an iterative improvement on the Wii U and while I wish they called it Nintendo Snap (how I heard the new sound effect) instead of drab numbering, I’d argue there are similar iterative innovations here–some likely to compete with the Steam Deck–without losing what’s working so far
