I'm not upvoting this.
it's a fantastic, well-reasoned post, but I don't believe it's an unpopular opinion to at all.
The public conversation around DEI is highly polarized which creates a false impression that a balanced, pragmatic view like this is rare. I think you've articulated a middle ground that most people hold

Love seeing a Kung Pow reference in the wild

Thar ya go

I actually can't describe how awesome this is.
My dream is to use a 2210 to use whatsapp. that's all I need on the go tbh

Any intentional choice made to capture human attention functions as an algorithm.

For instance, when a creator posts an intentionally silly title, it triggers a predictable urge in users to comment on that silliness. This deliberate cause-and-effect cycle means the creator's strategy itself is the engagement-driving algorithm. A good example of this human-designed system is ragebaiting which systematically uses manufactured outrage to multiply views and comments

Generally speaking, you'll want to follow the 3-2-1 storage rule.
(3 Copies, 2 Media Types, 1 Off-site)
Copy 1 would be the original info saved on your main drive or wherever you access them immediately. Copy 2 is a local backup saved to an external hard drive or a home server, ideally one that's powered off and not connected to direct power (lightning strikes)
Copy 3 can either be a cloud storage backup (such as Google Drive or OneDrive) or a copy kept at a friend's house.

A Russian Sausage is a South African imitation of the Polish Kielbasa that was adapted by early European immigrants in South Africa. So a Russian Roll is pretty much a Hot Dog Roll but with a Russian Sausage instead

It's saturday here and I'm working from home. Got me a russian roll and chippies (or french fries). Yum.

If it's effective, sure!

:(

This is great. I'm all for whatever brings forth EA's demise quicker.
I do weep for the workers though.

I'm definitely an outlier here; I really dislike not working in the office. I completely lose my sense of routine and I like how the office forces me into one, plus I co-regulate with people around. I do still think however that it's imperative that people have the freedom to choose whether they can work from home or not though.

This is great news! I appreciate how Reddit is taking the initiative to spread awareness of the Fediverse. Bravo to them!

I've heard that deer do that too sometimes.

For starters don't call women females. Yes it's technically accurate or whatever but that's beside the point.
Generally avoid complimenting their physique or appearance. Other than that, just be nice to them the way you are with your friends and be platonic by default. "Cool shoes."
But like, also be genuine about it. If they aren't cool shoes then don't say they're cool shoes. Find something else that's cool.

Honestly? All of them.
Since I've stopped watching trailers / reading synopses etc. my enjoyment of most any movie has shot up exponentially

Any good thing is ruined once it's co-opted by capitalism.
AI and LLMs (In my very very personal and completely subjective opinion) is the coolest shit humanity has ever invented and under the right system would've been unanimously celebrated.
But noooooooo, capitalism had to go and fucking turn a miraculous tool for human creativity and knowledge into a relentless driver of layoffs, corporate slop and copyright theft because some greedy fucks want more money for themselves than they know what to do with.
But, well, that's just, like, my opinion, man.

You're right, these are awful. Have an upvote

Random but in Afrikaans, oom means uncle. Thought that was mildly humorous.
