The sitcom format in general just doesn’t work for modern audiences. The format needed entirely self contained narratives which could be watched with a whole family - that isn’t what the market demands these days.

I think Seinfield sucked but I think all sitcom sucks, mostly because I didn’t grow up in a house that watched them + moved to streaming before I had my own place.

Shocking. Man has opinion and that opinion primarily applies to himself.

A ton of very questionable choices on this list. Many of these aren’t even prestige TV?

The office US is broadly considered the better version. It certainly had a way bigger market success.

100% this.

“Don’t infringe on what I determine to be my rights; but abduct/kill anyone I determine to be an enemy”

Hasn’t ubuntu always been the “non-tech friendly linux distro”? Their market niche was not being light weight.

The motivations of kids are generally pretty obvious - most parents know exactly what it is their kids are wanting to do. And kids will work to accomplish that motivation despite what roadblocks the parents put in place, and at somepoint they will figure out a strategy to remain undetected.

Parents don’t really get a vote WRT their kids having sex or doing drugs. They get _some influence over the details of how those occur, if they show they can be trusted to not freak out.

Backyard campfire. Paired with my choice of

• Music
• Other people
• Edibles / etc.
• Online chess

I just kinda go out there and vibe for an hour or so a couple times a week.

That’s a great bit. Well done OOP

Two objectively wrong opinions; all anime is trash, and no anime is trash.

The only thing keeping me sane is the knowledge that for the last several decades, Congress only voted for whatever they were bribed to vote for anyways. They’ve never voted one way or the other because they “understood” the subject matter.

They acted corruptly before, they’re acting corruptly now. Nothing has changed.

There’s been a ton of updates, and a lot of bugs

The vast majority of Americans have plenty of people to blame.

That’s before you consider book deals and other side gigs

My rule of thumb is that there is very little point in planning for things that occur >5 years from now. Priorities change, external factors change, and so on.

That said physical health is maybe the single exception.

I’m new to this platform and not finding that in the community or general search. How do I access that?

Nothing would surprise me at this point, Reddit builds a platform that lets you get attached to your account & community and then takes it away without even having a human look at the ban. Total BS

Everytime I think about starting a technical blog I am reminded it will 1) be fed into the meat grinder and 2) people will assume it was a product of the meat grinder.

So for whatever value my technical expertise could provide the world - it won’t. Because AI exists. That’s the only reason.

But reddit rejects people for utter nonsense reasons. If you just use it enough you’ll eventually stumble into something that irks the wrong admin or gets caught by their word filter. So the “Reddit rejected” set is really just a random sampling of power users. Of that set, the hateful degenerates are driven towards X imo.

Reddit being bad? Never.
