Slop generators cannot truly replace very many jobs. They can however give your boss an excuse to fire you and enshittify their own company. And most bosses will take that trade if offered. When people say AI is stealing their job, they mean it gave their boss an excuse to fire them. Not that they've truly been made redundant.

I just assume all creators of things I enjoy will eventually be proven to be sex pests. It makes it much easier to justify piracy morally to myself. (/j)
My neighbour growing up was a cop. He and his wife were Christian fundies who had like 8 kids.
I literally never had a single bad interaction with them, and by all accounts he was an alright dad to those kids. I still see him when I visit my folks for the holidays, and when I do, I see his kids now all grown up with kids of their own visiting their parents
Quebec has its own language authority which I believe does have some coordination with the one in France. Quebecois French diverged from France hundreds of years ago though and so uses different phrases and words that sound weird to French people and vice versa.
Sometimes languages have sounds that are hard to pronounce in other languages.
Also sometimes we came up with a name for a place based on imperfect information and the name caught on and stuck before we learned there was a better name we could be using.
I work with French people who call me Jos instead of Joe. My girlfriend calls me 周 (Zhou) when we text each other. I'm fine with all of them as they all map to the same conceptual name.
My name isn't how it's spelled, it's the concept of "Joe". As long as they are calling me the thing that maps to that name, I'm happy. Their brain has its own mapping between language and concepts which is distinct from mine.

I could see some kind of arrangement where the age would be something reasonable like 16-18, but then there is a test you can write (basic civics questions eg. who are the candidates, what does the legislative branch do, etc.) and if you pass that test, kind of like a learner's permit for driving, you can vote even if you're under that age, down to a hard cutoff of like 13.

That, the monospace font, and the heart button which seems to be identical to the upvote button, are all changes I am not a fan of. Otherwise it's not bad.
You and literally everyone else in the world
I thought something was causing people to double post more recently, but after testing voting on some examples, I'm pretty sure posts are getting duplicated by the app.
I assume that of course we are posting the iconic Lower Decks character who is Peanuthamper's father.
