Is that more of a ‘big expensive city’ thing or is $65k generally considered low in the US? I’m not from there so I am trying to put that into perspective

I built a Discord bot a while ago that I later added a Patreon for, which adds some extra features. I don’t make a lot of money with it but it covers the hosting costs and leaves enough for an extra night out every month.

Asking someone their country of residence is privacy intruding? Lol

I am from Germany

If you were really from Germany, you’d never have given that much personal information up voluntarily!

Walter Masterson makes similar content sometimes which I’ve been enjoying instead. His channel is a lot more opinionated overall though, and he makes better use of the political platform imo.

Why couldn’t they just serve the comments to each client with the ad-adjusted timestamps already? The only thing the client has to request then is the comment page it wants to load, and some unique ID for which the backend remembers which ad version it’s associated with.

Ooh good catch. That makes sense. Not sure I would call this beautiful, especially without any way to tell how much time has passed, but fair enough

That doesn’t make sense unless this was personal expenditure, which it doesn’t seem to be

But… from when? Surely expenditure hasn’t gone up linearly with time

…how did the line come about? How did they determine what the life expectancy would have been with less expenditure per capita?

Ok, I like this description a lot actually, it’s a very quick and effective way to explain the effects of no backtracking. A lot of the answers here are either too reductive or too technical to actually make this behavior understandable to a layman. “It just predicts the next word” is easy to forget when the thing makes it so easy to be anthropomorphized subconsciously.

Inheritance is random

My favorite way to resolve method ambiguities.

It’s great for racing games where you have gradual steering but also quicker response times than with a controller

TIL it’s entitled to ask that software you use is either compliant with the law or clearly lets you know that it isn’t, especially when the developers have no idea what the law is

I’ll throw in Griddle, where you have to find high-scoring words on a grid

1. From the way you use the word, it’s clear you don’t know what enshittification means
2. You sound like the kind of person who dislikes anything that’s too popular. Chill

Because I’m just interpreting the statement as it was written while you are reading an additional argument into it that the comment plainly does not make. I suggest you brush up on argumentation theory if that is too difficult for you to understand

The statement I was addressing was where they were called “exactly the same.”

You are the one misinterpreting a statement here, by insinuating that the OP’s assertion of “exactly the same” was referring to Russia and US as a whole. It wasn’t, and so the point you’re arguing against is one that OP never made.

You’re arguing as if they had said Russia and the US are morally the same; what they actually said was that they are guilty of the same aforementioned crimes.

The [US] is actively and purposefully destabilising multiple countries and are basically terrorists at this point

Tell me how that sentence is wrong.

…Haley supports a nationwide abortion ban and can’t remember what the civil war was about. Reasonable‽

Foolish me for thinking no-one could possibly need an /s on that comment.

I got the sarcasm, but this particular point is – as you’ve demonstrated very clearly in your response – the actual message you’re trying to push.

Or did you not know that highly addictive amphetamines is a commonly prescribed for ADHD?

You’re using “highly addictive” to insinuate that this is just a ludicrous and fundamentally flawed practice. No concern towards all of those who do have ADHD who report that medication has helped them live a life otherwise inaccessible to them. It’s highly stigmatizing framing and just because you have a valid point about opioids does not mean you get to dismiss genuine mental health struggles as having fallen prey to a marketing scheme.
