and how could being drunk ever be an evolutionary advantage?

Lowered inhibitions in social situations can definitely lead to...evolutionarily advantageous activities.

And thus my new business model is born. For only $1/month, I will pay you to watch porn and test my payment processor by receiving a $1 refund.

It was a very intricate dick joke?

That's absolutely a dick joke.

Them pressing charges gives him the right to say it without joking going forward though. It's like the "register my hands as a lethal weapon" thing, but it's his dick as a WMD being officially recognized by the government.

Sometimes there's a "no" and might even be a "don't ask me again" checkbox. These are usually just more dishonest variations of "ask me later" though.

I'm pretty sure the "after release" setting is just based on when the first match appears on the indexers, not the air date in the metadata. So the initial release isn't going to be a factor.

I don't see this issue, but I've got fairly intricate profiles setup based on the TRaSH guides. I suspect some combination of those profiles filter things out for me. Is there anything obvious in the problematic downloads you could filter out with a profile, like a format or release group?

Rather than introspection, they'll blame the new digg and revamp the UI again and/or add AI moderation.

Most other services are passively exploitative like you're describing. I can at least see an argument for that being a trade-off: using a "free" service in exchange for profiting from your data.

reddit does this too, but on top of that is also actively threatening to ban users for voting. That's just using the platform as intended.

As you noted, most of these services are hostile in ways that go unnoticed by the userbase. This is markedly more hostile than that, which is I think the point of the comment above. In an internet of services that are shitty toward users, reddit's a bit extra shitty toward theirs.

If someone sees a bunch of people celebrating, mocking, and/or expressing apathy about someone's death and responds by assuming all those people are evil instead of spending 15 seconds to search or ask why, that's on them. If someone is totally oblivious of the other politically motivated murders that have happened recently, that's on them.

Relying on social media entirely for one's news is a choice. That level of ignorance is a choice. This behavior isn't "critical to understand;" it's a lazy choice that deserves to be called out and mocked.

Outrage? Most people I know are just eagerly awaiting the imminent good news.

Seems like a clunky truncation of "the Chicago suburbs"

And a whole bunch of people who aren't capable of accepting and processing new information once they've made up their mind will continue to blame the killing on trans people. Almost like that was the point.
