Cities which had someone blow a horn to wake everyone up would also have watchmen walking the city at night. Presumably, they would wake the next person up when their shift ended so that someone is awake at all times.

I’ve had issues since kernel 6.4. Since early December, one pair of Bluetooth headphones works again (mostly, with occasional connection issues), but the AirPods still fail to pair at all.

Perhaps this ASRM-ish reading of java class exceptions might calm you down? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCCTCVBFt6E

Copied from miku-chan03?

Here’s a dramatic reading of some of miku’s posts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDqik-Y27Uc
The same text as from the OP is the first one in the video.

If the community is so large that your post is immediately buried, it’s large enough for a subcommunity.

However, most communities on the threadiverse are not that large. In that case, fragmenting the tiny communities even more just hides your post from the users who might be interested but are not subscribed to a niche subcommunity of a small community.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen several different clips where he repeats the same "I’m a moron" spiel.

While I have only watched what few clips came my way, I was under the impression that was the entire point of his podcast: Invite interesting* people, then validating them in discussion by agreeing to most of their takes regardless of how bizarre they are so that they freely speak of their topic.

*wherein "interesting" is usually something from the categories of fringe beliefs (often conspiracies), drugs, culturally influential people, or experts on whatever is a big topic for his viewership at the time.

Many of the experts are also those of the fringe belief kind.


Basically, if you take Rogan’s views significantly more seriously than the beliefs of your local meth head, you are doing it wrong.

  1. Freeze leftovers. If food is too much, put 1-2 meals in a freezer-ready container, put it away. Eat it a few weeks/months later when you’re too lazy to cook.

  2. Measure ingredient amounts. Usually, I don’t bother, but if I don’t want leftovers, it’s necessary.

you feel dirty

One might argue that this is the issue. Men watching porn feel dirty/wrong. Women masturbating and consuming their porn of choice is normalized.

Male sex toys exist, they are just not advertised. (Aside from hole shaped after specific, often fictional, women. Again, the focus is on the woman, not male pleasure.)

The discussion is fascinating. My few cents:

  1. Using female as a noun can be bad, but is it "permaban the user and criticism and locking the thread bad?". Options would have included: removing the post, which wasn’t done, handing out warnings or temp bans, or even just calling it out in a mod comment.

  2. Personally, I read that use as intentional in the context of the image: These titles are written from the perspective of the person in the image. The person depicted was trying to objectify a woman. Objectifying language might be appropriate since that person saw an object of desire, not a person.

  3. Obviously, we lack context.

Pretty sure one of the new (announced?) changes is that people will be able to get money from being popular enough. Encouraging "engagement" and karma farming over actually using the site as a human.

Yeah. Putting all the effort into useless stuff like NFTs, crypto, or really even the whole terrible New Reddit into first making the actual experience better would have been much better. Make people pay for your awesome features after you actually have awesome features.

Instead, they made the user experience worse and worse, and repeatedly broke the tools people used to make it convenient. Not to mention all the bots and bribing mods to promote Subreddits…

Perhaps New Reddit was supposed to be their big break. Too bad it sucks so badly.

The only thing boringdystopia about it is that someone actually wrote that article. LLMs will say anything and everything. They do not really have plans for anything.
