And lacked ads. At this point, I'll read a book before paying to watching ads.

Just guessing, but either:

• I Would Kill A Mother Fucker, or
• I Wipe Koala Asshole Against Face

I'm not sure if it's the same boner...but I just clicked a 27-day old picture of one. They're doing something over there, but it's definitely not deleting all the porn.

Strange, I read for weeks how easily replaced they'd be by the thousands of willing, competent volunteers.

14 cans a day is a massive amount, and I didn't say anything to imply otherwise.

I was agreeing with the guy I replied to that "a little poison is often fine" and elaborating that lots of things typically considered "safe" become dangerous in such large quantities.

But a little poison is often fine

Of course a little poison is often fine, if we use such a broad definition of poison.

If the definition of "poison" includes anything that can hurt you in massive quantities, that would include most drugs, plenty of vitamins, essential minerals, and even water if you take it to the extreme.

Diet Dew instead of coke, but otherwise spot on. I've done enough stupid shit that if fake sugar is what kills me, I've still managed to deny a few odds.

I don't trust a man that doesn't have something strange going on about him, 'cause it means he's hiding it from you. If a man's wearing his pants on his head or if he says his words backwards from time to time, you know it's all laid out there for you. But if he's friendly to strangers and keeps his home spick-and-span, more often than not he's done something even his own ma couldn't forgive.

Fair enough; I wasn't commenting on the idea one way or another, just trying to clarify what I thought the other commenter meant.

Personally, I'm almost never in favor of a ban. I'd rather tax heavily and use the income for programs to offset. I'm 20 years removed from optimism about reducing emissions, so I think we should be leaning into technology that can actively pull stuff out of the atmosphere. That could create an incentive to move away from flying but also use the flying that's still happening to fund figuring out how to reverse the damage that's already been done.

I think the point he's making is that our second bullet of your list would make the third bullet unnecessary.

Yes, the article is about a specific instance of it happening.

I think this might be a case where the generic "scams generally work best if done low effort" doesn't apply, since to be successful, this sort of scam requires some specifics. The not-kidnapped daughter was away training for a ski race. Blasting "we kidnapped your daughter" to people whose daughter is sitting on the couch next to them or people without daughters doesn't work at all.

The article mentions people lose an average of $11k in these scams, which means they're probably working best when targeting people with some savings.

Why keep the 3 staff? They're not going to be working diligently to do all the human tasks while freshly aware of how little they're valued at this point. They're going to look for a better place to work.

or that it'll work well if it's actually released.

I've seen a few different posts about this, and none of them have had commenters showing any hope of it working out well. Seems pretty universal that folks think it'll lead to a worsening of their current bot problems.

You don't get to be a billionaire with just hard work and fulfilled promises.

I was very aware that the quality of reddit was lower than when I joined in like 2010

It was an ongoing meme that "reddit was better a few years ago and kinda sucks now" but I really think it was accurately the case. Everyone remembers it being at its best when they first signed up because it had been on a slow, consistent downward slide from around 2010 on.

The last couple of years were so bad that I was already going to other sites for actual news and whatnot because anything outside of small, niche subs were overrun with bots (or trolls, since they were functionally the same).

The version I heard was "everything in moderation, including moderation."

But the Butthole Surfers said, "It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do"

Seems like that'd fly.

From the link in that comment:

You can link to websites pages related to piracy. Linking to websites linking to your content (not with a 301 redirect, before you ask) is OK. In general try to keep one degree of separation between our collective groins and your links.

Have to say it's the right call. It's common enough that software (jdownloader2 comes to mind) will do the conversion automatically. it'd be super trivial for a bot crawling for DMCA links to add that functionality at some point.
