  If the community is so large that your post is immediately buried, it’s large enough for a subcommunity.

  However, most communities on the threadiverse are not that large. In that case, fragmenting the tiny communities even more just hides your post from the users who might be interested but are not subscribed to a niche subcommunity of a small community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get informed on Joe Rogan without watching his videos.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure I’ve seen several different clips where he repeats the same "I’m a moron" spiel.

  While I have only watched what few clips came my way, I was under the impression that was the entire point of his podcast: Invite interesting* people, then validating them in discussion by agreeing to most of their takes regardless of how bizarre they are so that they freely speak of their topic.

  *wherein "interesting" is usually something from the categories of fringe beliefs (often conspiracies), drugs, culturally influential people, or experts on whatever is a big topic for his viewership at the time.

  Many of the experts are also those of the fringe belief kind.

  Basically, if you take Rogan’s views significantly more seriously than the beliefs of your local meth head, you are doing it wrong.

  1. Freeze leftovers. If food is too much, put 1-2 meals in a freezer-ready container, put it away. Eat it a few weeks/months later when you’re too lazy to cook.

  2. Measure ingredient amounts. Usually, I don’t bother, but if I don’t want leftovers, it’s necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI sexbots: "Women in relationships already complain about partners addicted to porn and dissatisfied with actual intimacy" - the majority of actual users of these sexbots seem to be female⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  you feel dirty

  One might argue that this is the issue. Men watching porn feel dirty/wrong. Women masturbating and consuming their porn of choice is normalized.

  Male sex toys exist, they are just not advertised. (Aside from hole shaped after specific, often fictional, women. Again, the focus is on the woman, not male pleasure.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some alternatives to bars that stay open late for folks that don't drink alcohol?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting.

  For me, Makerspace always made more sense. You go there to make something. Hacking, while not negative, always has the meaning of modifying existing things to me, which does not always apply.

  I hack together an item = I merge several items into one. I hack an item = I modify an item.
  Not a native speaker, so I’m unsure if that is the correct usage.

  Is there a big difference between paid and free readers? It seems weird for them to only list readers with monthly cost (+a browser).
