No, being greedy is why America still has slavery, technically. As a whole they could get a ton more profit and save on costs if the system cared to develop prisoners, reduce prison populations and make them more productive members of society.
Individual and short-term profits are gained through this exploitation. The fix isn’t to eliminate profit “waste money” then everybody loses. The solution is to address the externality in the market, thereby making it so that everyone can profit.
I don’t get why people rush to the next replica platform that will go down the exact same path of overstimulating you / mentally harming you.
Just delete Instagram.
Don’t replace it.

It also reminds me of people’s birthdays.
I don’t get it here. It’d probably take you an afternoon to put everyone’s birthday in a spreadsheet or calendar, and then you’ve made some effort to actually learning their birthdays, leading to a somewhat more personal connection with that person.
it’s just really the best option for events
I feel like this is just confirmation bias. At this point it’s literally a prisoner’s dilemma between your social circle. You could all leave and have a better atmosphere and platform, but if you left alone you’d be missing out. FOMO, etc.
I’m probably biased here as well, as my age group has left Facebook, but all I really see on facebook are big announcements like engagements, childbirths and have contacts with only distant friends that I don’t really care much about, so leaving is “easy”
Zuckerfuck isn’t great, but he hasn’t trashed Facebook to quite the degree Musk has trashed Twitter…
This is crazy because before Musk changed twitter so dramatically, Facebook was the exemplar of a bad trash platform. I have to agree that Twitter might be worse now, though.
I don’t even think it’s that we’re optimizing for the wrong value. Optimizing for maximum profit is probably fine – everyone gets the best utility possible. The problem is in the algorithm being a greedy approach where every individual personally chooses the best option for themselves. Greedy algorithm settles on a local maximum but drastically overshoots the global maximum.
In the modern day, this feels like satire, but for the time I’d imagine Ubuntu was not as easy to use, and courses would also tell you junk like “This document must be done in Word” and require an .xlsx file or something, complaining that the formatting will get messed up if you use another format (PDF isn’t goo enough for some reason).
Diabolical to recommend Spelunky 2 to someone who hasn’t played Spelunky 1
There are well-designed urinals now that don’t splash back. Add to that, If there’s a divider, then the urinal is convenient, quicker and imo cleaner because you don’t have to touch the stall door or lock to close it and you’re not pissing on the seat or sitting down. It’s literally no-contact
Why do these whining posts get upvotes? Nobody cares, that’s the whole point of the federation. You can move where you want to be
Growing up is realizing your family is the reason why you’re a weirdo
Also 100% clear that facebook, google, twitter… are all doing the same but for US intelligence
I mean, it’s free. For the longest time they were great. Though, It even looks like if you scroll to the right, you can make a circle just fine

Went on a tirade talking about “the poors” after he got told to check in his carry-on on a flight
it mostly ripps off rich idiots like Mel and Joe
Not at all. People who can barley afford their medications see these as cheaper alternatives and will often use these instead.
Would not recommend Crypt of the Necrodancer, considering barely anybody ever beats the game even by default, and then completing the full story is far too hard to not be frustrating
avoid these run ruining pickups because you happened to forget what THAT weird egg looking thing did with a different weird looking egg thing.
The stupid behavior of X item sucks is part of the fun of the game and why it’s so great, though. You pretty much forget all those broken runs you got, but I’ll never forget the times I found Plan C or used the Bible on Satan. I also think you’re missing that repentance modernized all this and there’s even fewer bad items than before. At this point there are only a handful of truly bad items.
Hades is great and holds your hand, but the fact that every upgrade is more-or-less the same type of skill addition to your build is also boring.
Yes but slacking off >>> actively working against
Don’t you know the government is “If you have nothing to hide you should have nothing to be worried about”-pilled?
I was mostly surprised because Spelunky 2 is so much harder, and Spelunky 1 is already hard enough for a newcomer.
