Reddit logic: suggesting a lab accident automatically makes you racist or anti-science or something.

I don’t hate things just for being popular. However, reddit definitely gets worse the more popular it is, and the largest subs are always the worst of the worst.

Could even get dog-piled for saying “we need more info” in the early days of that.

Thank you for writing this. Small typo: focued (focused).

It has that facemask under the nose look going doesn’t it.

Some call this Cunningham’s Law. It is remarkable how people will ignore a question, but trip over themselves to correct someone. Pedants are going to be pedantic (but may have a useful answer occasionally).

The developers where I work sometimes use this trick on our users. When they can’t get a response from the users on a request for design input or feedback on something (which happens a lot) the devs will sometimes release some piece of garbage looking thing, and then the users will very quickly put in support cases with the requested info telling them the missing stuff, etc.

Human nature is why we can’t have nice things.

I feel you. My thoughts often spill out that way, too.

Lots of compound sentences. And a “tone” suitable for USA Today. At least, that’s the vibe I get from ChatGPT.

I tried Zenni. What they sent me was not good. I’m not saying they are bad overall, this is only anecdotal evidence, but it was way off from what I needed.

I have a complicated prescription. I’ve tried the cheap glasses, no bueno.

Mine have a tiny little chip in the coating on the right lens, it’s so annoying. If I take it in for repairs it will cost an arm and a leg so I just live with it. I have a 2nd pair but I’m keeping them pristine for as long as I can before I give up on these.

I would guess part of it is Google getting worse and people adding reddit to the query hoping to find answers to PC problems, etc.

“I want a DQ Blizzard!”

“We have ice cream at home.”

“But home is a bunch of shipping containers welded together.”

“Correct. And it’s wonderful.”

I’m not an expert by any means, but my understanding is there is a “tax accounting lobby” that works hard to prevent any measures to simplify it, because they would go out of business. Intuit and others.

Love the meme but JFC I wish they would just send us a simple invoice (or refund) every year. You know, the way adult nations do things.

“How long do you plan on cheating on your current employer?”

“Wait, is that you in Groucho glasses, boss?”

Automation also cuts down on mistakes.

Or greatly amplifies them if you coded it wrong.

Why did I read this in RFK jr’s voice.
