• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify doesn't allow podcast ratings unless you use the mobile app⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say you’re getting downvotes because it’s not a design standard to block rating access based on confirming someone’s consumed content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most "simulation" games aren't simulators⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically a simulation is some mathematical model that captures some but not all aspects of a system. (A model that captures every aspect is the system itself)

  So like “Idle Miner” models the basic concept of buying capital then putting it to work extracting value. Yeah it’s an ultra-simple model, but it is a model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what is the correct way to use the word "backorder" in English?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “on backorder”.

  “Backorder” is an operational status, so it’s like saying “on fire”, “on duty”, “on order”, or “on patrol”.

  “So you’re saying if I openly announced I was gonna have sex with people, everyone would have sex with me?”

  (no)

  I’m reading Stephen King’s The Dark Half right now and I keep imagining George Stark as the blonde guy

  Non-consensual sex vs consensual sex

  While you’re learning things about Helvetica, you should know it’s the Latin word for “Swiss”

  What kinds of right-wing messages do they put on their air?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local pop radio station is using its metadata to spread anti Biden propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You implied, that it was implied, by the comment you responded to. The KKK is a terrorist organization. There’s no implication that a terrorist organization gets to advertise just because they paid, in the comment you responded to.

  This anti-Biden website, being anti-Biden, is not in the same category as the KKK.

  So the answer to your question is no. The KKK doesn’t get to buy ad space on that radio station.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local pop radio station is using its metadata to spread anti Biden propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to avoid reading political ads while listening to the radio, just don’t read the radio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local pop radio station is using its metadata to spread anti Biden propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Being anti-Biden is not equivalent to being the KKK

  Which guy is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local pop radio station is using its metadata to spread anti Biden propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Donald Trump shut down the entire American economy by force, while printing trillions of new dollars into existence. Trump ruined the American economy, and likely started WW3 in the process.

  This type of comment that says both sides are equally bad are just hilarious to me. People riding the fence is what got us here.

  I have heard a thousand variations of this same comment. This is not a very insightful thing for you to say. Unless you can add some specifics, I’m tempted to interpret this as you just regurgitating what you see on the internet.

  It’s so weird you reference yourself here, when this is obviously not your own thought.

  dog whistle: words that mean other words

  For example,

  Actual utterance: “Hi mom what’s for dinner?”

  Dog whistle secret meaning: “Hi mom I’m an antisemite!”

  Now that you’ve been educated in how dog whistles work, you too can start to see the secret meaning behind everyday words!

  Pay no attention to the man in the middle

  Why man they doth share packets in the clear

  You can find out pretty easily by looking at the website. It’s a letter-writing campaign.

  At least in a browser I can delete elements when it gets bad enough
