A little power corrupts a lot.

The big problem is I have no idea what feds are out there since it is all distributed so it feels like you are wandering in a dead mall sometimes.

Moderation should be done with a light hand.

Reddit is full of left leaning subs.

I can count the number of mature arguments I’ve had on reddit on one hand. I frequently compliment the other person for being so decent.

Someone start it on the ML Lemmy :D

To be fair every political sub, and even the news subs, ban anyone who doesn’t conform to the echo chamber.

Endless nostaglia, “remember this?” posts

Wait until they start paying the mods (which I’ve heard is in the works), who are already insufferable assholes.

Once AI starts stealing from us you’ll know we’ve arrived.

It takes familiarity. It is likely why urban areas tend to be more liberal than spread out rural areas.

I assume politics goes through generational pendulum swings.

Stupid browser fart!

Yes. You pretty much have to have a near perfect surface, free of any defects or scratches, for it to happen and it has to be perfectly still. I doubt anyone has mugs and such that are free of any scratches inside.

Microwaved water isn’t “incredibly dangerous”. That is wildly exaggerated. You only get that boiling seed point issue under very controlled circumstances. There is nothing “fucking weird” about it too. It is just EM being used to wiggle molecules. When you heat something on a stove you are also wiggling molecules. It is actually safer, biochemically, than, say pan or oven heating because it doesn’t char the food.

When super bright LEDs became a thing they felt they needed to put them in everything. “It is new!” I went into my home office to get something and didn’t turn the light on and wondered what the blue glow in it was. It was an LED in a monitor telling me it was plugged in. My wife has me put black tape over leds on things like usb hubs because they are blindingly bright.

Don’t get me started on leds flashlights that all have multimode including rapid flashing so when the battery connection is poor, like when the flashlight gets old, if there is a split second break in power it switches to rapid flashing. Just what I need when trying to get around in the dark.

And do they need to be so bright that they light up the room?

Similar to how people in public places have their phone ringer set to “Hear it from across town”

Oh the fucking microwave. Newer ones supposedly have a setting to turn off the beep but mine doesn’t. It constantly beeps when it is done which is a delight if I’m in the bathroom trying to excremeditate.
