The term “ratio’d” originated from twitter at a time when it had neither upvotes or downvotes (it refered to retweets vs comments). Fundamentally any platform that has more content than can be reasonably consumed by one person must have a way of filtering good and bad posts and as soon as you have that you have people who will chase both the good signal and the bad. You get rid of the upvotes and you encourage people comment farming, you see this on some platforms like tiktok where people will intentionally add in minor errors so that a lot of people comment corrections boosting their engagement or in traditional forums where every other comment is “bump”. Personally I think upvotes are the least bad thing to have people fixate on as it has the least number of side effects.

I do agree that upvote begging like this post is parodying is bad though and should be discouraged.

Are you looking for something like Lidarr?

This is probably paranoid, but a picture of a key is enough information for someone to clone your key fairly easily, probably not the car keys, but definitely what I assume are your house keys.

I was really skeptical until you said trust, now I know I can trust you.

In Canada drug ads are not allowed to tell you what a drug treats as part of the ad. You can only advertise the price, quantity and name. Its a big reason there are so many fewer drug ads compared to the us. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/marketing-drugs-devices/illegal-marketing/prescription-drugs.html#a6

It’s a catheter specific thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_urine_bag_syndrome

The work around is to refer to yourself as software engineering. “senior software engineering 2” or whatever

In Toronto there is a Rogers Center, and then they recently opened a Rogers Arena half way across town, and there are also roger’s X in Vancover and Ottawa. It’s just as annoying as it sounds, made more annoying because rogers is one of the most hated companies in the country.

The most credible source I find credits it to an article by German satirist and journalist, Kurt tucholsky who was supposedly quoting a French diplomat in 1925

I can definitely taste the difference between aspartame and sugar but its not unpleasant to me.

Remember that there’s big polluters of the world want you to believe its all already over and that you can’t win. This is a strategy they explicitly employ, and you are not immune to their propaganda.

But without bots how will I know when I accidentally post a haiku and what political ideology is right!

I think some of that stuff would be a lot more stressful if you expected the job to be a long term thing you need to support yourself with.

It doesn’t change the amount of jizz but the original count of grandparents is making the almost certainly false assumption that the family tree is incest free.

If Linux gets popular the mega corps will just follow them there and then you’ll be asking them to uninstall Dell os or at least remove the Linux recall (powered by bing) that it comes bundled with. Just look at the modern state of android.

Interesting that you say hades has that intuitive randomness, one of my biggest complaints for hades 1 is that you can basically force whatever run you want every single run. It felt like a roguelike for people who hate roguelikes. Isaac otoh I totally agree, its my most played game by far really love it.

I also dislike deckbuilders, but slay the spire is the exception. It skips the tideous deck management a lot of games have and you aren’t playing against an other deck which is a big part of what I hate.

I think the game’s good side doesn’t really show until you beat it. And with the context that moral choice game systems were a trend and up to this point extremely shallow (infamous series, army of two etc).

I couldn’t get into it either though to be honest, but I enjoyed reading about the lore and the games it inspired.

I find it really inconvenient compared to just adding a movie to radarr.

For me I stopped watching sports because it was impossible to stream it for a fair price. They won the piracy fight against me personally so now I just don’t watch at all.

The gambling is really concerning for me, if I have kids I want them to play sports for the exercise, but I think the downsides of all the gambling almost out weigh that at this point. It’s crazy that sports aren’t family friendly anymore.
