Why couldn’t they just serve the comments to each client with the ad-adjusted timestamps already? The only thing the client has to request then is the comment page it wants to load, and some unique ID for which the backend remembers which ad version it’s associated with.

I will say, for a mainstream US news outlet this article wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. Maybe just because there’s no way to spin this anymore, but then again some outlets will just parrot IDF statements as fact

Somehow Corrections gave a late night show parasocial vibes and I am here for it

Conveniently they are about to declare those the same thing

Ah right, and here I thought the point of the protest was calling for peace. Silly me!

“Ha, you have nowhere else to go! We can do whatever we want”

It’s great for racing games where you have gradual steering but also quicker response times than with a controller

Just wait until you hear what’s going on in Jerusalem, a city with sacred meaning to all abrahamic religions. The hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Maybe back then it was, but it sure isn’t nowadays… what with some of their most prominent reporting since October 7 written by someone with ties to the IDF

TIL it’s entitled to ask that software you use is either compliant with the law or clearly lets you know that it isn’t, especially when the developers have no idea what the law is

1. From the way you use the word, it’s clear you don’t know what enshittification means
2. You sound like the kind of person who dislikes anything that’s too popular. Chill

Are you basing this rant on your personal (anecdotal) experience of it working out for you, or actual statistics?

…Haley supports a nationwide abortion ban and can’t remember what the civil war was about. Reasonable‽

Foolish me for thinking no-one could possibly need an /s on that comment.

I got the sarcasm, but this particular point is – as you’ve demonstrated very clearly in your response – the actual message you’re trying to push.

Or did you not know that highly addictive amphetamines is a commonly prescribed for ADHD?

You’re using “highly addictive” to insinuate that this is just a ludicrous and fundamentally flawed practice. No concern towards all of those who do have ADHD who report that medication has helped them live a life otherwise inaccessible to them. It’s highly stigmatizing framing and just because you have a valid point about opioids does not mean you get to dismiss genuine mental health struggles as having fallen prey to a marketing scheme.

the real breakthrough has been convincing everyone that they have some sort of mental health issue that requires pharmaceuticals. The entire country is taking something, and that’s been a huge help in keeping people docile.

I was with you up until that point. You point out that the poor are made to fight each other and then you engage in a fight against the disadvantaged who need medical assistance? Fuck this science denying, ableist bullshit.

Agree with your point, but man I didn’t realize 60k was considered “scraping by” now

Grammar aside, it’s an odd choice to fill up half the page with 747s if you want to showcase the variety of commercial passenger airplanes.

Hamas are not in the West Bank

It’s not “considered trendy”, your understanding of communism – an economic system – is just conflated with authoritarianism – a political system. You can advocate for one without advocating for the other.

That said, capitalism also leads to the deaths of millions, but somehow that’s just an unquestionable fact of life.

I would post the UN human rights council’s analysis but I already know you would just move the goalposts and say the UN aren’t “international policy experts” so why even bother
