Yep, agreed. The biggest problem there is that Meta is generally not making life worse for its users than they’re used to. Facebook and Instagram are giving you almost the same shitty experience you got a decade ago.

Nope.
If you encourage it, it will continue to fester and rot, and the entire internet will lower their expectations.
We need to destroy these companies. We need to smash them to pieces, and hey guess what - it’s going to hurt a bit! We need to be prepared to stand up against evil, corrupt, racist, bigoted robber barons. We need to make some sacrifices to fix the internet.
Burn the fuckers to the ground, and let spez rot in a hole.
It’s true that Qobuz pays more per stream, although I’ve heard that they pay an amalgamated sum to the label instead of direct payment by artist.
Furthermore, while MQA was a bit of a bait-and-switch (basically lossy versions of much higher quality), Tidal always offered pure lossless as well.
Qobuz apparently has a better classical catalog, but worse customer support.
Basically, I’ve found Tidal to be - at this point - a bit ahead of Qobuz. Not a real complaint, just a “if I had to choose…” opinion.
Short summary: Tidal is the best overall.
Balancing the content, quality, and amount paid to artists, I put it on top.
There’s still one protest possible.
LEAVE REDDIT!!! GET THE FUCK OFF OF IT! LET IT DIE. MAKE IT DIE!
Same with twitter.
Little boutique place near us has an “Apple Cheddar Pie” ice cream in the fall. It’s never quite as good as you expect. Gotta try it again this year, to see how they’ve changed it.
(On the other hand, their Lemon Curd Blueberry is one of the greatest things ever served in a cone in the history of humankind.)
Mandarin orange slices.
It ABSOLUTELY matters that Trump is put on the same playing field and under the same scrutiny as Harris!!!
That’s all. It doesn’t matter what their respective positions are. It doesn’t matter that Trump will give a rambling, incoherent answer and support Israel even if they declare babies as food.
It matters that Trump is held to the same scrutiny as Harris, simple as that.
Is Trump getting the same questions?
Capitalism, fucking everything up, same as everywhere.
You’re not here to ask a good-faith question, you’re here to state an opinion or theory.
The Democrats won’t win an election while opposing fracking. O&G is far FAR too powerful to let that happen. If Harris stood firmly against fracking, then the opponent would win - be he (and it will be a he) Trump, Musk, or David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz.
No, I’m not exaggerating.
They would, and they do.
But because they’re rich and determined to play both sides of the fight, they also pour some (less) money towards the Democrats to have some leverage.
Frankly, I don’t see much of a problem with this.
They’ll sell the “Apple” charging cable for $40 or something fucking insane, but as long as you can buy and use a normal USB-C cable that does exactly the same thing, go for it.
Of course being Apple, they will probably void the warranty or add an identifier to their cables so that nothing else works. In that case, I hope the EU bankrupts them completely.
You misspelled 2026.
As hilarious as this is, it doesn’t really address the question of whether farts will maintain their potency in a jar, or if they’ll degrade in the presence of air.
If farts never lost their potency, the entire planet should be unbearable by now.
Just saw “The Play That Goes Wrong,” and it is a two hour masterpiece of a play within a play.
I see videos of complete productions on youtube. Go watch one.
Make no mistake - Trump would do that and more.
“Yeah, we killed her. We’d killher again if we could. Whatcha gonna do about it?”
I get what you’re saying, but it never works like that.
You said it yourself: “I hope reddit exists to…be a breeding ground…” And it will. The worst of humanity will collect and fester and grow in numbers. And what’s going to happen then? Some will spill over to here, and other ‘safe’ communities.
There’s no way we can thrive and simultaneously isolate ourselves from assholery; and by encouraging it to thrive elsewhere, we’re only expanding its power and reach; and at the same time, enriching and empowering asshole billionaires like spez, Zuck, Musk, etc.
No, we need to fight them. We need to wade hip-deep in the shit to shovel it down the drain, rather than hoping it’ll just go away on its own.
Look at it another way: If you have a garden, what happens if you designate one corner as “the weed corner?” It grows, spreads, and takes over the rest of the garden.
