New rule: programmatic advertising is illegal

These are the kinds of problems I want our species solving

As a forum user I agree, but would like to add that many forums do have a kind of “demerit point” system for incivility. Where racking up enough points gets you temporarily muted or banned.

My instance requires that users say a little about why they want to join. Works just fine.

If someone isn’t willing to introduce themselves, why would they even want to register? If they just want to lurk, they can do so anonymously.

EDIT I just noticed we’re from the same instance lol, so you definitely know what I’m talking about 😆

I think you’d work your way in naturally, same as any community throughout all of history.

I suppose an outsider might not be able to tell a web of trust that’s only bots trusting eachother, so you still have to think critically about what you read

This folk doesn’t even grample lmao but seriously amp me on stunkyr

I’m just shocked that there are marketing departments that actually know what they’re doing. Granted I haven’t worked for any huge companies, so that’s probably why I have difficulty picturing it.

Hell yeah, you’re killing it with these links, thank you.

I’m not surprised it’s a known phenomenon, but still excited to catch up on others’ thoughts.

I think of that paper often, though I think it applies equally to other humans. Like I’ll never know how it feels to be Doug unless I fully become Doug, and thus lose my own perspective.

Like how much of empathy is just projection?

I feel like a lot of it. We can talk about similarities in physiological responses to events, but as far as the actual subjective “qualia” (I think I’m using the term correctly) 🤷‍♂️

I’m not even sure a shared taxonomy of human emotions is particularly accurate, given how differently people sense even nameable emotions.

But they’re still valid emotions ofc, just kinda unknowable

I even got an email out of nowhere right in my inbox from Dell the same day I was talking about Dell laptops with my book club. I would be so shocked if these examples are mere coincidence

Having worked on the tech side of email marketing campaigns I would actually be impressed

Oh ok, ya same. Thanks!

Do people actually see grackles like this? I find the black/blue difference very subtle

I feel like it’s whispering bad advice at me while I’m typing. It’s good for as auto completing the most rudimentary stuff, but I have a hard time imagining it completing even one file without injecting dangerous bugs, let alone a large refactor.

This looks like the face of someone who’s used to getting yelled at

Right so because he likes to work in an office and feels more productive when surrounded by coworkers, he makes the mistake of thinking that everyone is like that. Or that the most effective workers are extroverts

God I remember how the flu used to just rip through the office come wintertime… Since switching to remote work, I think I’ve taken 1 sick day this year.

Sadly I lack the digestive equipment to appreciate this delicacy fully, but I’m a big fan of the scene

Oh my god I love this

I thought this thumbnail was two pugs at first…
