    100% agreed. A Reddit clone with Reddit amounts of users will end up almost as bad as Reddit. The thing that makes Reddit worse in that situation is that they are a public company.

    This platform would have to evolve a lot before it can deal with so many users. There has to be some significant innovation and improvement in moderation and administration, or more users would inevitably lead to endemic misinformation and power tripping and all of that shit you see on Reddit.


  • In the US, the reason corporations hire lobbyists is that it has a ROI that is bigger than most of their main businesses.

    And that return comes from tax revenue. So it is much more expensive for us to allow lobbyists.

    That “expertise” angle used to make some sense, before we created long distance communication. But today, politicians have staff, and the staff have access to the internet and telephones. If they need an expert, they can just call one.

    Again, it would be much cheaper to hire researchers for politicians than to allow lobbying to continue.

    I see no reason why anyone who isn’t a constituent should have easy access to a politician.






  • Ascendance of a Bookworm is getting a new season in Q2. It’s my favorite light novel series. I’ve read all 33 books three times. In my opinion, the books sort of keep getting better and better, all the way to the end. The author did such a good job at world building and character building, and as you get further into the story, it becomes clearer how deep the lore is and how interesting the characters are.

    So, I’m really hoping that the anime acts the same way, and that the new season hooks the viewers even more so that we can get the full story animated.

    I understand the message of the meme, but I don’t understand the relevance of the meme template.

    The guy on the bottom is not visually portrayed in a good light, especially juxtaposed next to GigaChad. It’s like the meme template is trying to tell you that the guy on the bottom is wrong.





  • It’s very difficult for a good billionaire to exist in the first place. Like, maybe they inherited the money, but somehow weren’t raised as a selfish piece of shit. But even then, a good person could only be a billionaire for a very short amount of time. They don’t need the money, so a good person would find a way to use it to help others.

    Basically, a person who accumulates a billion dollars is a person who has already had many chances to help others, or try to improve the government or whatever, and repeatedly passed up the opportunity. So, they can’t really be good people, and so a good billionaire really can’t exist, or can’t exist for long.


  • fancy cabinet

    Maybe this is the old man in me talking, but every time I’ve had any sort of lighting in my PC or RGB in my mouse, for example, it’s just been distracting. Nobody but me ever even looks at my PC, and now, every time I see a fancy cabinet, it just looks like an eyesore to me.
