several posts per day here are a clear troll posts and bids for drama but are not removed. until this community’s mods start acknowledging and responding to this problem, this community is simply providing a platform for drama fiends who get off on making you upset. simply put, this is both destructive and frankly not fun....
who cares. using a website is far shittier if half the posts get removed for spurious, transient reasons. just let people post and use the voting system already built in for content regulation

Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.
imagine coming up with this shit – you must know the evil you’re releasing upon the world. like even if you’re a shithead billionaire, if this god-awful mechanism were to take hold, it’d be annoying and awful for you too right?
i can’t believe i’m saying this, but i’m finding myself enjoying facebook more. the UI and design feels vintage early 2010s, the choice of reactions is nice vs just liking or upvoting something, you can sort the replies by chronology / recent / best instead of being forced to read blue-check morons, there’s an incredible...
Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.
because we are a stupid, prudish, and vain country. we don’t want people to enjoy jerking off too much, nor do we want to reverse the trend of mutilation, which would make the old guard feel like they’re the broken ones
private planes, yachts, private chefs, etc seem like such an obscene amount of luxury it shouldn’t be allowed somehow. public services would be better if the wealthy were forced to use them, then they might actually care about the constant shittifying of everything
it’s kind of a stretch, yeah, but it just feels so gross, in that same way a yacht or plane does, seeing tiktok vids of someone laboriously crafting this gorgeous, perfect meal for one (1) fucking middle-CEO-partner-twat and his family. if you make enough to afford something like that, get fucked, you definitely don’t work hard enough to deserve it.
it’s probably a way easier shift for the chef than a restaurant dinner rush, which is great, but it’s just…such an obscenity to think some have access to this sort of luxury because they shook the right hands at the business office / were born into generational wealth.
ok, so? plagiarism is a meaningless, tenuous call that can be avoided simply with some quotation marks and a link. isn’t this supposed to unite humanity’s knowledge rather than nitter and ditter around about meaningless technicalities? it’s not writing a fucking paper (and if you copy and paste it for a paper that’s already plagiarism anyway)
if it had to remember a citation for everything it knew, it’d only be able to remember half as much information because its memory would be cluttered with useless citations that you could easily find by googling if you really cared to know. most people just want quick facts
also the government regulates all job postings to not be (as) malignant and evil. you just upload your resume and go thru the available options and you pick one and then you go work there and if you fuck around they can kick your ass or something (but social etiquette dictates you should behave in good faith (because they all...
i miss reading quality cracked articles on rss. there isn’t really any article-length comedy anymore anywhere is there. it’s all dry stuff or deranged opinions
it loves getting a rut of suggesting the lamest 20 things it can possibly think of. mood board! gardening! volunteering! it’s a fucking supercomputer and that’s all it can do??...
i guess but that’s far from an “instant” boost; there’s clearly a difference between ‘somehow manifest the energy to buy seeds and dirt and go to the store etc etc’ versus take a bath
I usually try to be polite and always say please, but when it gets in a rut like this and will not stop suggesting “Breathing Exercises” or “Dance Break” or “Shadow Puppetry” it doesn’t seem to matter if I be polite or say in all caps ‘are you fucking stupid; you are a supercomputer and that’s all you can do??’, it’ll keep regurgitating the same 20 things no matter what
why do people think it’s okay to do this shit? if you’re coding facial recognition for a vending machine, that’s like 80 steps too far down the capitalism ladder
if you took this machine back to the 1920s and told people what it was doing, they’d shoot at it. and probably you

If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?

I realized a gamechanger after 27 years of suffering -- when anxious, I can literally just tell myself to act stoic or unconcerned, and simply by outwardly doing that, it quells the bad feelings a bit
