I know right? The other day I was drinking a coke and wondering about side effects of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, and it occurred to me that advertising could be a lot more creative and subtle.

Jesus is coming…look busy!

Knowing storks, you don’t want to know. They’re not the best parents.

This is so true. By college, far more learning and work takes place independently. A professor will teach 3-4 hours per week. Definitely not enough to “explain everything”.

Some explaining, but mostly the job is teach students how to think critically, seek resources, manage time at short medium and long terms, express yourself orally and written, build endurance for boring things, and most importantly to read.

I can explain riding a bike all day. But that’s not how someone learns to ride.

You sound like the kids who don’t do their homework.

I’ve been waiting 30 years for industrial solutions but it is obvious that marketing and advertising to maintain the status quo of legacy companies is still a better roi.

This is a regulatory issue not a market failure.

Also I’m sure plastic recycling on a large scale is just around the corner. The plastic packaging on my plastic products keeps saying so. (/s)

From big bang, to medium rare, to heat death of the universe, how do you take your steak, sir?

And a 100% fatality rate. Everyone who touches it dies.

Well said. There is a lively song by the Dead Kennedys that explains with nuance and understanding this same sentiment.

You forgot the “except for Nazis” part. No one wants more nazis except nazis and they can fuck off.

This meme brought to you by the Heritage Foundation: don’t forget to vote red because you can trust us. /s

I’m actually ok with wealthy people being wealthy, but when they took over the government as a way to make even more money at our expense is where I draw the line. We need to take back regulatory power, it’s the only thing that can compete at today’s scale.

Good screen doesn’t make me feel bad, it makes me feel good. Sometimes very good. Then sleepy.

You’re missing the point. (And old reddit sucks too, it’s always been about RES+imagus). I mean that if we only ever had an official shitty app, reddit would never be what it became, it would still be a third rate aggregator. My opinion is that Reddit’s success was due in no small part to the quality of the unofficial apps especially for power users and mods.

As if everyone didn’t see this coming a mile away. It’s like that Austin Powers scene with the steamroller

Pickitup pickitup pickitup!!!

That’s Frankenfurter, not Rocky, but I see where you’re going with it

Reject humanity, return to monke

But only in comparison to the good apps. If we never had the others we’d never know and Reddit might never have gotten big. Those apps drove a much higher rate of engagement because of well they were made. It’s like now I couldn’t even engage at the same rate if I tried. And I’m only talking about viewing posts, commenting, and voting. I can’t imagine how the changes are for mods.
