The issue isn't just isolated to those living around it. Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-bad-of-a-gree...), letting it leak out like that for a year has…
I thought that would have happened too when other subreddits were quarantined or banned (and it briefly did when fatpeoplehate was banned) but honestly the banned discourse does not show up on the front page or /r/all,…
The most frustrating part of this for me is there is no (relatively) easy way to override this behavior. Its fine to disable the addons, but please allow me to "understand the risks" and continue against Firefox's…
I just want people to be less 'secretive' about receiving parental support; in my peer group it seems almost shameful to have help, yet I can guarantee all of us have received some sort of financial help from family. It…
Its even worse when you look at how its been declining the past 50 years (https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/23/385843576/50-y...) way before the "young folks" even entered the workforce. As a young folk myself…
True; my primary exposure to the US prison system has been in Texas which certainly sees its share there. I suppose it would be more apt to say that the fact that the justice system allows a private interest to be…
> If you keep a secret list of people you know have been convicted of a felony, you're tacitly admitting you either dont believe in prisons as an effective tool for correction This is 100% the case. Our for-profit…
It is extremely concerning to me how these tech executives are so enamored with Chinas working conditions and all-pervasive data collection as if it was the pinnacle of living in the 21st century. What happened to the…
I'm sure it does. Even if I already was a BoA customer in this theoretical scenario, I would also prefer to be in the know to avoid that specific POS/gas station company until the issue was resolved, instead of…
Okay, but what about potential customers of BoA that have no idea that the bank they want to entrust their money to has a huge known exploit that increases their chances of identity theft? Does the customer not have a…
I cannot help but think the Federal government is fully at fault for this one. So much time and effort spent to misinform, lie, and skew the truth on the consequences of cannabis (including extraordinarily…
Hell, even the "head of Stanford University’s A.I. lab and chief scientist for A.I. at Google Cloud, one of the search giant’s most promising enterprises" who literally said “I believe in human-centered AI to benefit…
Yes, but most paid VPNs have several different servers and ports to choose from for this very reason. Its been a while but Private Internet Access' chat support was very helpful in troubleshooting my ISP throttling my…
Genuinely curious, can you expand on how you will achieve the middle-ground between safe space and hate speech? I would assume you are aware of Voat.co and think everyone would agree they are suffering from the "paradox…
I never thought of that but yeah George RR Martin definitely uses it to portray the culture of the kingdom: from the spicy pepper-infused Dornish cuisine to the "bowl o' brown" from the flea bottom of kings landing, it…
If you have any doubts that this wasn't a sham just look at how well FB stock did yesterday.
This concept of a "race", in terms of genetics, makes sense for classification purposes, just like all taxonomical classifications of living things. The difference here, is that people are taking this genetic concept of…
This article practically comes off as apologetic for Facebook and absolutely ignores the point of outrage for a lot of people. Great example of language designed to lead. "Facebook, of course, lets you target exactly…
The best part of the "great American melting pot" for me is the fusion of cuisines. Trying to knock a restaurant or food because it isn't "authentic" is completely missing the beauty of the different combinations of…
>Saying "just quit Facebook" is like saying "just stop making phone calls" or "just get rid of your mailbox" or "just stop reading emails" I don't agree with this analogy. Phone calls and physical/electronic mail are a…
This fact alone should be reason enough to leave Facebook for good. Facebook's goal is to be the middleman for all communication, and why the hell would you trust a corporation that can blacklist you from all of their…
It seems incredibly bizarre to me that the author says that. She lists all the privacy and user trust violations, future social health concerns, but then says leaving Facebook isn't viable? I have little faith in the US…
It is almost a punishment to try to better yourself in America, and our society will certainly suffer from it. Why try to get a degree that doesn't guarantee any sort of employment, but does guarantee a large financial…
What I meant was that the numbered score they had next to every post was 0, which is incredibly atypical for that to show up on the front page. And yes, Reddit removed the ability to see the number of upvotes/downvotes…
If this article was 5-10 years ago, I would have agreed with most of it, but as it stands you are absolutely correct. The Reddit algorithm now is incredibly opaque with constant tinkerings that make me think the…
