Don't forget! A lot of the slop on those first few pages of results is AI-generated.

Ouroboros is a very apt moniker for this phenomena.

Exactly! It's going to be a flying wiretap with every enemy of the US scrambling to get their electronics in before Qatar closes the deal with Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if there were eavesdropping circuits baked into the silicon of every system in the plane.

What a fucking nightmare - but on brand for this kleptocracy of an administration.

Anything to diminish California. Trump and MAGA can't abide California functioning well because it contradicts their message that liberal-run states are implicitly worse off than conservative-run states.

I was there in the 90s for a bachelor party. I can assure you it was skeevy then too. I think I got black lung from the amount of cigarette smoke in the air inside.

I agree, but this dumpster fire is burning inside the US government. It's going to take some critical stuff with it as it burns itself out. :(

I love AntennnaPod - except when I'm in the car. It doesn't have Android Auto support.

16+ years. Learned about it from Joel Spolsky's blog.

I pretty much agree 100% with your characterization of the decline and your overall experience.

I also hadn't realized how dysfunctional Reddit had become or how much I'd tried to adapt to that dysfunction.
