The problem that the current Reddit leadership had was that they didn’t want to share power with the stakeholders it had previously relied on to generate growth. Reddit was getting free content, moderation, and even some dev resources. There was a path in which Reddit could have maintained its ecosystem while still being profitable, but spez chose to be like every other social network.

A lot of colonial American power structures fit the intent of what you’re describing. For law enforcement, the local government would usually designate someone to be the head of law enforcement for day to day activities and there would be a communal drawing of manpower from the local community if the need arose. For the military, you had local militias which had elected officers and would vote on strategic actions if time permitted.

You’re likely going to see a lot of people here completely reject these forms of local communal government because communal doesn’t mean equal. For instance, the enforcement of slavery was a communal action in the South; free whites gladly assisted in the capture of escaped slaves.

You should post this to UnpopularOpinions.

Yeah. I had one teacher in an advanced math class say that you have to treat “gifted” students as a form of special education because traditional educational techniques don’t work on them. The reason why a lot of schools don’t do this is because a poorly performing “gifted” student will generally meet minimum education standards even if they are performing well below their potential.

I would think you’d be bisexual.

To add to what you’ve said, Microsoft has effectively abandoned physical media as well, with Nintendo being the last hold out whom is constantly lambasted for their prices. Computer gaming had completely abandoned physical media for over a decade.

A lot of definitions take on relative, not absolute terms.

The most developed countries in the world were mostly in the Northern hemisphere without that much north of them. Also, people got used to referring to the American aligned part as the West and the Soviet aligned parts as the East, so everything else got referred to as the South.

What will probably happen is that Google will finish incorporating Fitbit to the Android/Google ecosystem and kill the independent brand. The Fitbit app has already been rebranded to Google and Google has stopped selling high end Fitbit watches while incorporating the tech to new Google watches.

You need to figure out what land the trees get planted on. If it is private land, you should search if your area has a program to plant trees. If so, then try to assist them in getting trees planted in front yards.

If it is public land, try to identify the location and reach out to the appropriate government agency to convince them to plant trees. Again, there may be private or public programs to plant trees at little/no cost to the land owner.

I’ve had problems with insomnia in the past.

I generally find the easiest way for me to sleep is to be very physically tired.

If the training data is racist, so is the AI.

The alternative is architecture designed to keep a building cool.

Only in that having a certain threshold is used to determine if an account is a bot or not.

That’s why the Supreme Court case is about excessive fines and not the legality of the stop.

Most of the bans are in Native Alaskan communities who don’t have the resources to deal with alcohol, so they ban it instead. The ability to ban is codified in state law, so the state assists with enforcing the ban. It is the reason why an Alaskan State Police officer conducted the search.

It wouldn’t be just that island. A significant part of Alaska has a ban on alcohol.

Do you think this will create a longer lasting political movement?

It’s definitely not healthy, but this isn’t going to fix the birth rate.

I liked AWOL Nations’ cover of Beds are Burning.
