I was not alive then either and read it decades after it was written. Honestly, I think having to use a spoiler tag for a story written almost 80 years ago is not necessary.
Yes, since 2019, it is now much easier to identify the a$$holes. They are quite unabashed about it and I've even seen stickers on the bro-dozers mentioning the a$$hole club. What's the goal here? Instant tribal identification? Well, I guess it works and I can avoid you.
I love using cash. I feel like I am thwarting The System since it keeps pressuring me to use credit cards or some other form of electronic currency. I mean I use some of those too when necessary, but I use cash whenever possible.
Very similar story. Left Digg during the exodus, loved reddit for a while using BaconReader. Unknowingly the Outrage machine was doing a number on me and once I left last month, I felt a large weight lifted. Quality of conversations are greatly improved, but I've noticed some howling monkeys here too. Far fewer though.
I have noticed I've split my time to several instances as well as using Tildes, BBC and a variety of other sources to fill the space reddit used to do as I had it curated over a dozen years. Hard to flesh that out in a month.
One of our data centers uses a building with a man made "lake" in it. They blow the air across the water and use that air to cool the building and its systems. Seems to work fine.
By no means do I want to appear pedantic, but isn't it "You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!"?
That's how I learnt it forever ago, so the way you folks are saying it sounds...well, weird. lol
