“In 1976, a professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley published an essay outlining the fundamental laws of a force he perceived as humanity’s greatest existential threat: Stupidity.

Stupid people, Carlo M. Cipolla explained, share several identifying traits: they are abundant, they are irrational, and they cause problems for others without apparent benefit to themselves, thereby lowering society’s total well-being. There are no defenses against stupidity, argued the Italian-born professor, who died in 2000. The only way a society can avoid being crushed by the burden of its idiots is if the non-stupid work even harder to offset the losses of their stupid brethren.”

I swear this whole "use the app" instead approach has become literal cancer.

Panikp0rn. Ist bei Trump ähnlich gelaufen. Über jeden Toilettentweet wurde "empört" berichtet und Aufmerksamkeit draufgeschaufelt. Und dann: "Wie konnte der bloß Presi werden?" Schockschwerenot.jpg

I always though that Reddit admins of all people would understand that “you don’t mess with Reddit”. Well, apparently not …

Hauptsache kleine Webseiten drangsalieren wegen "Datenschutz", aber die Schufa einfach machen lassen ...

Clicked on it out of curiosity. Sub is still nsfw. Second post I clicked was a veiny boner. Nope.

I think it all started with Zuck wanting to turn Facebook profiles into the "Internet's Driving License" or some shit about ten years ago: https://www.technologyreview.com/2011/01/05/197776/facebook-wants-to-supply-your-internet-drivers-license/

Don’t understand how people can still use Reddit and ignore all the ickiness.

Love the new update but somehow scrolling is far less smooth. Anyone else experience this?

There's this riff coming in around the 2:41 minute mark. It sounds eerily familiar. Is it a reprise from something earlier in the album, or a variation of something from another album? Or is it unique and my ears are deceiving me.

No one wants to be a freier, right? So why is /r/israel still continuing? Let's move the conversation over here. That's all.
