I'm not sure, but I think part of the problem is that the votes are "real". Since every instance has to have the same number of up/down votes they can't get away with fudging the numbers. I have no hard evidence that reddit does, but I suspect they do to increase engagement.

It's hard to have this argument without coming across as advocating for eugenics, but I completely agree. The fact that increasing women's education is so strongly correlated with decreased population growth is not a coincidence.

The difference between a eugenicists and whatever the hell I am is that I think the solution is to educate more people, not to control their right to reproduce.

Basically all we know about him is that his name is Maximus Decimus Meridius. Father to a murdered child, husband to a murdered wife, and he will have his vengeance; in this life or the next.

Brother is my current second favorite major brand. They are breaking a lot more than they used to and the parts that break aren't worth replacing. Canon is putting out alright printers that seem a bit more robust to me. But honestly if you just put in the money up front even hp isn't total trash. To get a not trash hp will cost $400, and there's no guarantee that it won't get a firmware update that makes it impossible to use third party ink, but it won't require hpsmart and make you want to kill yourself. So yeah, spend more on your printer, don't get an hp, and if you're not gonna spend more on your printer get a black and white laser Canon imo.

If this was about data collection on users I'd agree, but the UK government is saying "remove encryption on private messages". That only increases the ability to harvest data

I've seen a ton of people saying the new season is bad and I just want to put out there that I think it's pretty good.

I don't think bender is hitting the mark like he did in the first couple seasons, but the other characters are doing great. And let's be honest, bender has been overused for a long time. I think people have built up Futurama to some god-like show that never had a dud joke, but half of them have always missed the mark and the other half have always been amazing. I don't think this season or this episode are any different.

The first episode made fun of their new network which I saw a lot of complaining over, but it's what they've done for the first episode of every reboot.

The second episode was pretty good (though I think the weakest of the three).

This episode was filled with clevar jokes. The premise alone was great, their excuse for why this was happening was hysterical, and the interactions felt right - like it hadn't been 10 years since they were together.

 

Is there a place I can go on lemmy where I can say "is there a community/magazine that has people's weird ideas they thought of in the shower" and if anyone knows of a place they'll point you to it?
