How does this article not include a picture of the ad?

100% agreed.

I wish people would respond to the comment, not the commenter.

Because the reason for a vote is personal and different to everyone.

If I see a post with a title containing 20 emojis, I downvote it. Doesn’t matter the content of the post.

Now, assume that post was about fighting for lgbt rights or fighting against anti-abortion legislation. Some moral crusader sees my downvote and immediately calls me a bigot. When, from my perspective, all I did was downvote a bunch of emojis.

Take that idea and expand it.

It’s unfortunate. A lot of the first movers that set up early instances during the Reddit blackout are not the type of people that should be running these things.

Think Reddit powermods but more unhinged and extreme.

Oh I’m right there with you. I can’t believe this was actually said in a real class. If I hadn’t heard it, I would think someone was just making up a story.

“The human eye can only perceive 60 FPS”

This was in a graduate level class studying optics for virtual reality systems.

I shit you not. I believed this for far too long.

This shit doesn’t work here.

Dumbass.

My hope is that with some of the very large subs banned twitter, like r/nba, that will have a noticeable effect on engagement and reporters will move to bsky or anywhere else.

I realize this is unlikely to happen, but a man can dream.

While I doubt it will happen, I’d love to see this move indoors to a smaller venue and STILL be unable to sell out.

Right? It is a comedy by Adam McKay. That alone is enough to draw an audience.

Imagine comparing not being able to scroll through brainrot to prison.

I’m not that guy, but the term IT is extremely overloaded these days. People can say they are in IT working anything from a $20/hr help desk job to a $900k/yr AI engineer in big tech.

Industry, company, location can all have massive effects on salary.
