How it is. It’s not unusual to come across replies that on the surface are passable but are ever so slightly…off. And the comment history is the same. People who make it their business to undercover bot networks regularly find groups of accounts that post automated chat-gpt type responses and seem to act in unison. Their methods vary but sometimes they all post the same low effort zero depth reaction comments as a strategy to build up karma without being spotted. The fact the platform is structured for popularity and engagement in such a way that this is worth doing (and polluting any regular discussion in the process) is entirely what’s wrong with Reddit.
Type of thing that would be found. This particular investigation sub now private but there are others
I’ve lost faith that I’m even having conversations on there at all. Such a big motivation to have natural language bots building up credible history and posting nonsensical but vaguely plausible sounding replies that offer zero depth.
Me too. I don’t know how I got drawn back in (though obv post titles are heavily scored for causing engagement, so a heavy dose of bots and psychological trickery no doubt…)
I got into a rhythm posting here and there a bit and then realised more than a few not-at-all-usually-controversial takes of mine attracted zero conversation, just the -2, -3 downvotes within minutes.
Dialogue and especially any nuance on Reddit is dead dead dead. I can’t stand (who I assume to be) the hypersensitive types who just downvote and move on. They’re making the place shit and they can keep it.
I mean, shit on production companies all you want… but if I was selling a product and people were finding easier and easier ways to simply copy it for free then I might get a bit… risk averse…
Indeed the new one, in attempting to the faithful to the book, but minus any of the critical inner monologue, just manages to be bland on a big budget.
I love the campy 84 version, even if it departed wildly from the text. The characters were colourful, over the top, memorable. Current version everyone’s a slightly different dark haired man in a dusty suit. Give me some dated CGI and theatrics any day.
Something something Soviet Russia…
Hi Firefox. It’s been a while…
Companies have dress codes. Is it too much for kids to have a predictable leveling environment where the most important thing is learning? Once they’re grown up, “Katy” not being able to wear a bikini on the office floor, or Todd not being able to wear his gym tank top on the hotel front desk becomes obvious. So why is restricting that at school not ok?
Huh? Second hand uniform sales are massive in the UK. Every school has one. Maybe not in the states? Don’t know why…
Small government conservatives: “get the government and all its “rules” out of our lives!”
School board: “you’re right, each family should decide what schoolwear is appropriate and I guess people will have to manage themselves and their own reputation…”
Small government conservatives: “no not like that!”
Because they won?
What would be the point of this from a non fucked up standpoint?
I think the bad and good reasons can be true at the same time. Plenty of others list the bad reasons. For the good reasons:
They have also bombed the caravan on primary roadway people are taking out of the city, according to several news sources
Fwiw the video that Hamas themselves released shows an explosion that is very much not a missile or artillery. It has a large orange flameball, doesn’t leave a crater, leaves windows on the vans intact.
This was most likely a propane IED of which Hamas are known to use. Or a tragic accident (trucks propane tank exploding).
Double_A Nerdy men playing a board game are intidimating? How do women even get anything in life done of they are this fragile? WTF? Do you also want separate women-only schools, and women-only companies?
Rbmellor Tf are they in separate groups for? Don’t girls know how sexy they look playing cheers?
System_glitch And the real reason is because women don’t do well against men. They get dominated except for a very small minority. So I orde for women to have more parity, they have women’s chess A biological man competing with them is, statistically, a huge advantage.

You need scale
Can’t scale. Hard drive full.
I wouldn’t put it past them to short their own stock while they make announcements then go long once things settle down…
The Torah, the Psalms endlessly praise God as being “good”, the word of the Lord being “perfect” etc
Eg from biblehub.com concordance. References to God being called one of the words for “good”…
