Reddit is buyng 5 star reviews.
After seeing this, I thought I'd go over to the Play Store to leave a 1 star review. Then discovered I had already left a 1 star review (complaining about their shitty interface) a few months ago, which I'd totally forgotten about ;-)

US supreme court strikes down affirmative action
Reply in thread
If it was so irrelevant, the colleges would not have fought tooth and nail to maintain it. Anyway, the prior experience of individual states that have banned affirmative action indicates that the effects are not negligible -- it's responsible for double digit shifts in racial compositions of student bodies.
Things will depend on how the universities respond; one can imagine Harvard doubling down on ever-subtler ways to tag Asians as personality-free robots undeserving of consideration.

I'm just surprised Elon Musk didn't find a way to inject himself into this story somehow, like he did with the Thai cave rescue.

Went back and checked: Walter was 50 at the start of the series. The series spanned two years of in-universe time, and he died at 52.
Anyway, the point stands. Cooking meth is a valid shared interest for an older man and a younger man to bond over.

How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though?

I'd been on Reddit for 15 years, predating the Digg exodus. Actually, I find that my memories of the early days makes moving to Lemmy easier. Present-day Lemmy is already ahead of Reddit back when I started, both in terms of content and features/availability.

This is basically the plot of Breaking Bad.

‘Revolutionary’ solar power cell innovations break key energy threshold
Material degradation is a very serious issue for these perovskite cells, so it's a bit concerning to see it brushed off with a "lol we'll just have to see" comment. Also, these materials contain lead, so disposal/recycling becomes a significant concern.

To avoid paying royalties, I imagine. Hollywood accounting is craaaaazy.

If Hoyo decided to kill off a playable character, who do you think they might be?
I think Zhongli has a death flag. Narratively, he's got nothing else interesting going on, now he's retired. It's a natural plot point to have him go out in a blaze of glory protecting Liyue one last time (and also, as you said, redeeming the archons for what went down in Khaenriah).

What do you think about the current events?
Last few patches have been thoroughly mid, IMO. Good enough to pass the time, but nobody will remember any of this content a few months from now. Also, the quality of the accompanying storylines has been slipping for a while now. The card game tournament story felt particularly mediocre, like it was put together by an intern trying to check boxes.
Genshin's refusal to develop mainline endgame activities, aside from constantly pumping up the numbers on Spiral Abyss Floor 12, really hurts it during this part of the patch cycle. Hopefully the summer patch will be a step up, like GAA and GAA2, and 4.0 will blow our minds.

As much as I appreciate all that (vintage) Star Trek was trying to do, handling of a lot of women's issues were problematic or nonexistent.
You gotta remember that DS9 is set in the space version of a third world country. This isn't Federation territory, and the Federation's presence is on thin ice throughout the series.

TLDR: 7 of 9's ex-husband pressured her to go to a sex club. Then he ran for Senate. The sex club stuff comes out, he drops out, and Barack Obama wins in a landslide, becomes a political rising star, runs for president, etc.

Xbox says the VR market is currently too small for it to chase | VGC
I don't disagree, but given the Xbox team's track record, VR is probably going to explode in popularity now 😂

Got an early Keqing, but continued to snag Kazuha and Freedom Sworn (with help of pity) within the next 60-70 pulls.
Kazuha is coming along nicely, but I'm now wondering what to do with the unexpected Keqing lol.

I had that LOTR Choose Your Own Adventure book when I was a kid. It was amazing seeing it resurface as a meme all these years later.
