Sadly, it only works if you're selling hate and fear.

I hate AI as much as anyone, but this article is shitty fearmongering. Buried at the end it admits there's actually no price increase, there's just a new tier with optional features.

A “classic” Office 365 subscription will be available at the old price if you really don’t want the AI — for now.

I'll use it for now while it's good and ditch it if/when it enshittifies just as I ditched Reddit and Twitter. The mistake I won't repeat is relying on it. If I have to bail, it won't be difficult this time.

I think they're implying that it can be rude to broadcast someone's age, since some people like to be private about it.

The passive and undiscerning types (the majority) stayed on reddit and the more ambitious and deliberate types came here. But where would users for this specific format come from if not largely reddit?

I'm attracted to femininity, first and foremost. Femininity is a requirement, and it's not flexible. But then there are other more flexible preferences about specific appearance or personality details I might like in a woman.

I'm fundamentally attracted to women and turned off by men. It's the simplest way to describe my sexual orientation. The fact that I'm not attracted to all women doesn't change that.

Newspapers report facts in one section and editorial opinions in a different section. They are clearly compartmentalized from each other. They are both useful. The editorial staff has a long history of making presidential endorsements. We're free to disagree with the endorsement, they are not telling us what to think, just giving us a perspective to consider among all the others we hear.

What the Post did is highly abnormal. It's not like the editorial staff decided out of nowhere to write up this endorsement. They did because it's an automatic thing they're expected to do before elections.

Think about watching a sports broadcast. There's typically two guys, one reporting play by play (facts) and the other adding color/analysis.

I'm not going to start being an asshole out of nowhere but I will go after an asshole and tear them apart. I will never be mean or rude to someone who seems nice. And of course I won't make fun of someone's looks or weight or gender or race. But I do make a lot of jokes on other topics and people probably perceive me as rude sometimes when I don't intend it. I don't think it's wrong to be a looser version of yourself here than in real life. Within reason.

$6 for this garbage. Taco Bell used to be a decent guilty pleasure but it's become expensive trash now.
