My tinfoil hat theory is that Reddit is pushing them to steer trending discussions away from class issues and toward some other kind of manufactured conflict, namely, men vs. women. A lot of the comments on those subs seem a little too contemptuous and rage-baity to not be bots fanning the flames. I think Reddit is still trying to shake its old image as a “counterculture” space and become more of a generic engagement-slop site to be even more ad-friendly. It’s also very convenient that Reddit allows profile history hiding now…
My favorite subreddits are the ones like “boy dinner diaries,” where people are invited to pour their hearts out to strangers online, admit to some mistakes or failures, talk about what’s bothering them, big or small… and then get absolutely raked over the coals by thousands of repetitive comments if they commit even the slightest infraction. God help you if you admit to something like infidelity.
I get that this stuff is triggering for people, but I just don’t see the point in sharing it if the community won’t give you the benefit of the doubt or is just going to use you as a prop for their own white knighting.
I think it can be healthy if you truly can set aside the disagreement for the sake of the relationship, but that’s not always possible or even appropriate. In my case, I just shoved down years of arguments and jabs in the name of “the big picture” or “being the bigger person” until my wife and I were left with a pile of resentment and a husk of a relationship with few redeeming qualities.
We’re in counseling and I still don’t know if we’ll be able to fix things. Just don’t be like me. Have some self-respect and communicate your feelings when you feel them.
Lemmy is streets ahead of modern Reddit. It’s honestly pretty close to replicating the feel of Reddit 15+ years ago, back when it was more intellectual and dense, less accessible but also way less engagement-baity. Reminds me of a time when the entire internet felt like knowledge waiting to be discovered.
Every so often I go back to Reddit and I’m always astonished by how lowest-common-denominator everything is now.
I agree completely. Beans and even just proper technique (actually dialing in the water/bean ratio, using the right filters, rinsing the filter, etc.) are probably way more important than which drip machine you’re using.
I’ve only had mine for a month after my old Oxo 9-cup machine had an electronic failure. At a certain point, coffee is coffee. I don’t think the product from the Mocca is objectively much better than the Oxo’s. But the Mocca seems to be designed without any corner-cutting, using high-quality materials and reliable, simple mechanisms more than cheaper alternatives.
Wouldn’t a perfectly intact ear be more realistic?
“So, uh, why do they call you that?”

Rectum? Damn near killed him!
This coaster is the kind of whimsy the world needs now more than ever
The A.I. if you will
It’s New Jersey Italian-American for capicola. Kind of like prosciutto
Whoa, just like in the OP
And the gabagool

“Drug-free workplace” policy language is also a requirement for a lot of government contracts in the US
Good morning, and if I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight!
Gotta keep up, or you’ll be streets behind.

This is what I’ve seen floating around
Could just be post-processing I guess.
