They obfuscate for us. There is no way they don't know. But bots do drive engagement.

Are we positive this isn't satire? Like this dude might just be a real life Borat and we're to dumb to stop giving him attention so he just keeps raising the bar?

Maybe reconsider which model you're using?

Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme. I mined bitcoin in the early days when you could literally make 1 whole bitcoin in two weeks. The next two weeks I mined 0.3 bitcoins. That's when I realized that it was a scam.

It's not about facilitating peer-to-peer transactions like its proponents claimed. It's about creating a huge money store. The more we use it the more inefficient it gets.

Nils Bejerot was a total hack. He tried to ban comic books, and later transcribed that same energy in a war on drugs that has resulted in some of the worst health outcomes for drug users in Europe. Unfortunately his ability to be confidently incorrect swayed a lot of gullible rubes, and his legacy still casts a shadow over Sweden to this day.

I mean insulin is about 10x more expensive in the USA compared to other Western countries. It's cheaper still in lower income countries. Many European countries also have a price ceiling for medication, so your monthly cost for life-saving drugs is capped.

I don't know exactly why a manufacturer doesn't set up production for much cheaper generics in the USA, but for whatever reason Americans are getting price gouged like Satan doesn't believe in tomorrow.

The dislike button would be a godsend with all this ai slop.

I don't want to insult you. You're very ~~pretty~~ petty.

Those morons don't even appear to live particularly well honestly.

Link doesn't work for me. Here's a direct link.

Cool! Community-specific defaults is actually not a bad idea.

Exactly, threads that get new activity should be bumped. Maybe they don't need to be super-visible for people who ignored the thread in the first place, but they could at least go to the top-50 posts.

I think it would be cool if conversations that link to the same URL are all automatically grouped, so that reposts just become bumps with a new context/title.
