Look, I don’t live in the US but there is usually a side that is a lot worse than the other. Holier than thou attitudes of “but the better side wasn’t as good as I wanted so I let the worse side get into power” is basically being part of an apocalyptic cult. It’s pathetic. You could still oppose everything you oppose now but with a better baseline. Yeah I want my left politicians to be better in certain topics—some that impact me a lot personally and I can still be an advocate for those things—it doesn’t mean I implicitly support the extreme right here getting into power.

Maybe I’m a picker eater, but I think I’d rather have an inauthentic product than eating a microchip.

So basically no need to outrage?

Also not got mine yet in batch 1.

If it’s me? I feel a little targeted here.

It’s really good, relatively cheap, expands on the original game. Understandable.

It’s an easy symbol to help people get out of the cult.

Is it important? No. Is it useful? Yes (if presented to the right people and not used as a circlejerk)

So people joke about Obama getting the Nobel prize but it felt like it was the rest of the world rewarding the US for choosing sanity after 8 years of Bush.

There was a hope for things to get back to “normal”. Before then I remember Americans often wore Canadian flags cause the hatred was so high. I think people forget how badly the US fucked up then. (And this was the general feeling—not just the left who are well aware of the decades of problematic behaviour)

We’ve welcomed the US back once. Never again.

You keep fucking up the entire world because of your egos and your hate.

No “we’ve changed” or “we will change” rhetoric will work again until those who have caused this face consequences.

Fix yourselves before appealing for forgiveness.

As a 30-40 year old male (maybe old man) who is a boss, hates gender roles (and questioning in general), hates etiquette, pretending to be fine, hates expectations and judgement—I wouldn’t have guessed which community this was in that turned up in my feed. So if anything—I’m glad most of my insecurities align here. Not sure if this helps anyone (go solidarity!). Take care everyone.

In with 115 comments. Weirdest flex.

Log scale?

Instagram is more racist than Facebook? I don’t use either but I’m behind the times

I just want to add that the dramatised reading of the forum exchange is amazing: https://youtu.be/JqylqmDl0Mw

I’m enjoying Qobuz

I’d rather they schedule a meeting in the calendar after receiving an email with suggestions of the time (and the day is in the title).

So many unnecessary steps.

So not everywhere in Europe is right wing (but there are similar trends in certain countries like the US). If the US falls, Europe will be the last stronghold for democracy (which might also fail in a few years).

This feels like a really stupid move if they want to lock international users into US-based AI. This will just make more flock to alternatives that will catch up.

(This isn’t me being for AI but trying to understand this from the US perspective)

We are not always our quickest. My original response should have been something like:

Leave me out of it. Whatever you got it wasn’t from me.

But I thought of that too late.

If my original comment was better it would have been easier to reply to and carry on the joke.

They took a boat, clearly a detour

Yeah it was not fun to reenter the dating world recently but staying in a broken relationship would have been worse. I’m hoping good people still find good people through whatever medium. But I’m understanding that’s harder now (but still worth it). This type of idiotic take has always existed.

12m + add ons according to Joyce.

Thanks for all you did, but don't like the decision.
