Listen here young'un, back in my day the only thing that would randomly fall from the sky was bird poop - and we liked it that way!

Trevor's standup specials are all really good, both before and after he came to America. He has a strong act, talking about his personal life and responses to that.

But he wasn't as good a fit in a team environment talking about mainstream American matters, except ironically when the show was "over" for the day and he talked more in his personal voice again. I strongly hope to see him land somewhere else where I can enjoy him again - I'd definitely keep following his comedy specials.

Though nothing compares to Jon Stewart being back in the saddle again!!! 🎉 🤩

Afaict he is the last "investigative journalist" left in America, though he is biased himself, yet who else comes close that amount of depth?

Tbf, those are some big shoes to try to fill:-) (I mean, not like, literally... but you know what I mean!)

USA bias strikes again! :-P

Unfortunately it's only slated to last until the election results... though this is one time that I hope things do not go as planned!:-P

Not a terribly accurate portrayal... (cop was way too accurate, not involving bystanders, and actually bothered to clean up the mess!)

At the same time, his leaving was also a success story in itself. He had all the money he ever needed in life, he was at the top of his game except just was exhausted working that continual grind, and was feeling his age so unlike e.g. any member of Congress, decided to voluntarily relinquish his power in order to create room for new people to step up, while he went on to blaze entirely new pioneer territory outside of mainstream TV, which was quite a risk even for someone like him. Wow... what a class act! 😍

What could go wrong with creating a treasure trove of data that AI miners would do anything to get their hands on?

What I replied to though said this:

That’s not really a tag though, you’d have the same search result just searching for “school”, right?

So it seems relevant to me that the search results are not identical?

Beyond that, it would find many more instances if people started using it, ofc, but the manner in which people use it may still facilitate easier searching - e.g. instead of casually bantering around with "school", "college", "education", "edumacashiun", if you knew that a specific term was used like "#school", then you could still find it easier.

Anyway, I am not here to defend using hashtags - I have no skin in that game and truly don't care one way or another. I just did not want OP to feel attacked like we are a bunch of Karens asking to speak to the manager about their choice of language:-P. Lemmy has little enough content as it is - we want moar content creators, not to turn away people offering us free stuff to ~~distract us from the pain of existence~~ enjoy!?:-)

Having just tried it, no. There are many instances of the word "school", but I only saw a single one with "#school".

I often want to use the search to find things, but cannot due to the deluge of irrelevant crap. Also the terms seem broken in that while some work 100% of the time, others 100% of the time fail to function as stated - e.g. asking for "all" results from the last "top 6 hours" ago returns MANY comments from 10 months in the past, though no posts prior to 6 hours ago, so it functions only halfway i.e. it does not work at all if my aim was to find a particular thing.

So if OP wants to use hashtags, and they help, why try to restrict them? We are supposed to be the welcoming Fediverse here!!? :-)

While not automated, typing those terms into the search bar does function to retrieve posts with those hashtag terms. So OP is not confused - rather, they are taking us all #backtoschool:-).
