You’re wasting your time, breath, and you’re giving bad advice.

Reddit developers and admins have gone on the record multiple times that nothing you delete is ever deleted, nothing you edit is ever deleted, they will restore comments at will, meanwhile you feed the AI maw.

The only solution is get the hell off that platform already.

The facts are:

She has a PhD in theoretical physics. She could not find meaningful employment in particle physics. Unless somebody can correct me, she’s produced little if anything substantive to the field.

In the last several years she has engaged in attacks against the public trust for science. She engages the conspiratorial-minded viewers who’re looking for any reason to disavow scientific knowledge.

One example was putting on scripted theatrics while reading a self-penned letter fraudulently claimed was from a prominent scientist, who’s identity and details of course must be kept totally secret. Reading out this “bombshell letter” was a transparent children’s play, where the held-anonymous writer magically agreed with every one of her endless, bleating refrains, that most scientific research is “bullshit”.

Then her support for Eric Weinstein who is a complete grifting con-man with an “entertainment” publishing that he fraudulently describes as both a “paper” and a credible physical theory. It was literally released on April 1 and directly in it, it tells you it is a work of fiction meant for entertainment, and like all good science (/s) may not be used, incorporated into other works, or improved upon. It’s a complete piece of hogwash, and every credible physicist from here to Mars has described as not fit to wipe fecal matter; not a theory, not even science.

Then there’s all the Theil money.

Check out Professor Dave on YT, he just fucking obliterates her.

Dude you really have no idea what you’re talking about.

Oh thank you

What even is a launcher, what does this app actually do? I’m asking earnestly I’ve never been able to figure it out

Try printer firmware update?

Just wondering, in your own words, what demographic is this article is discussing?

In a way I was miffed by the very posting of the article. It misses the mark so hard. There was an opportunity to talk about privacy, instead bemoans the completely expected outcomes of being a drama queen online while also voluntarily vacating one’s own privacy. Yeah, just annoyed a bit more than anything.

I get what the author is going for, but I always come back to the feeling that these are self-created problems for the most part.

The author does point to the CEO and his love interest and that being exposed on social media and there was much destruction in their lives, but it had really nothing to do with social media; it had to do with their behavior in the human world, and social media just accelerated the discovery.

And on so many of the other points, it’s funny how I’m not on tiktok, instagram, facebook, or any of the privacy destroying apps looking for attention and posting personal information, and curiously /s I have none of the described problems.

I cannot relate to this lamentation.

I’m a huge privacy advocate, you should be able to intuit that from my comment, so don’t come at me saying I don’t value privacy, my point is that when you put your information out in the world and you act like a drama factory or an idiot, guess what??? And furthermore what the fuck were you doing sending your DNA to some random corporation???

Perhaps invest in the “wait and see” companies? On the theory that companies that went all-in on ai have now massively disadvantaged themselves in their respective competitive marketplaces.

Is any of what you are saying material though?

It’s kind of revelatory that vegan is a shifting term, that means whatever it wants to mean for the believer.

I tell vegans all the time that in order to have their potato chips brought to them, first they have to have millions of hectares of fields destroyed, planted with a monoculture potato crop, sprayed with pesticides, harvested by diesel equipment, made in a factory with pollutants, placed on trucks which ship all over the country.

Swallow a fly, oh my God the world is ending. Kill a couple thousand things on the way to get your vegan chips, let’s not talk about that.

My sister had a freak out and told me she would never allow chemicals on her lawn. I said what about nitrogen?

NO FUCKING WAY

I followed up by asking her what she thinks our breathable atmosphere is made of, and what is captured by the rain and falls on her grass?

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

I told her no, I don’t, because when you just make up imaginary definitions for words, no one can ever know what you mean.

I’m not the other person but my reason is I feel they’re faux-intellectual videos that mostly serve to confuse people and muddy issues. A bit of an embarrassment to science, cloaking their tomfoolery in faux-surprise and scripted wonder.

Anything that is not Jack or Ted or Phil or Chris or Mike or Jordan or Justin or Jason or Larry or Pete… Is good

Super douchy.

“I am experiencing this emotion”

Ha! I had forgotten about mrbabyman, thank you for that reference!

I think we are kind of splitting hairs, myself included.

I believe we kind of all collectively share an understanding that Reddit is controlled and users are shown what the powers behind the curtain want the users to see.

Something about the way Digg went about announcing how the front page was literally for sale, as a good thing, seems like a very quaint memory. From a naive time when somebody at the c-level literally thought it was okay to broadcast to the entire user base that now the site is for advertisers and whatever messaging was bought & paid for.

I’m deleting this message with this edit because it was ill-conceived and hastily dashed together and submitted without appropriate thought and care

No that happened because they rolled out a completely new method of submitting posts where paid partners could have direct access to the front page.
