Yep I unsubbed from that one and mademesmile because the vast majority of the stories are actually terrible and symptoms of a corrupt society.

Also that 90-some year old who died this week - Burt Bacharach. He had 70 top-40 hits over 7 decades.. I'd never heard his name before he died, but I knew a ton of his songs.

You’re the CEO of what company again, Suzie?

There’s a reason they call them the BIG FOUR categories. Most of these wins for all these people come in categories with not much competition.

The Benton county Washington one (the most recent) was in someone’s small flock of backyard chickens. Source- I live here and also have chickens. As a result residents have been asked to register their flocks and the feed stores are posting info about how to report dead birds.

Did you win?

So much negativity on social media..its really brought me down the past week. Evil billionaires are gonna love forever soon, automation is gonna make majority of people unemployable and said evil billionaires will just take everything for themselves like they have been for all of history. People are gonna be destitute and hopeless crushed under an immortal wealthy iron fist...and climate change is gonna fuck us on top of all this....canada is barely getting a winter this year...never in my life have I seen anything like this...so where is the hope? Seriously someone help me out here! The future feels completely hopeless...

It's just the big guys back-patting themselves, and has been for 40 years at least. There's so much good music out there.

As well as all the advice about curating your subs, I've had a lot of success with some well chosen content filters in my reddit app as well.

There are things that I absolutely do care about, but I'm not in reddit for those things, so while I have my reddit time they can get hidden. My list includes stuff like 'China' since there seemed at the time to be hundreds of posts about Chinese surveillance. 'Net neutrality' was hot for ages - I'm in the UK. Recently I've added 'Bing', 'ai' and 'opengpt'.

Stuff comes off my list too. While there was insane speculation about Lionel Messi changing clubs a few years ago I blocked 'messi'. But that's off the list now.

Also block trolls and particularly toxic users.

Make the space what you want it to be by removing some of the bits you don't want. Unfortunately you can't easily filter out videos of tiktok posts or twitter scree shots.

“rent burden” means rent > 30% of HH income. This is the share of households burdened by expensive housing costs relative to other costs.

It would be interesting to also record the subreddit of each post, to see if there is any correlation between certain emotions and certain subs.. that way it could be easier to weed out the "negative" subs if you were so inclined.

No wonder pop culture is in decline

It's interesting that at a glance, the predictions seem not far off. But in reality, the predictions are just lagging behind market results by a few days which makes them absolutely useless.

World Organisation for Animal Health. Non poultry are those not bred for meat or eggs.

Georg looks Solti as fuck

Shouldn't you have a measure of probability to say "no correlation" ? What if you are very certain (i.e. lots and lots of data) that there is a very small, but positive, correlation of 0.06? I've seen correlations of 0.001 that had a 95% confidence interval that did not include 0.

Illuminated by the Illuminati

It literally wasn’t communism. If nationalizing your food, energy, oil, and housing markets is communism, then Norway is a commie piece of shit.

Advertising brings customers.

Advertising is definitely worth it if it increases revenue by more than it costs.

I jumped back into Reddit the 5th of February. YouTube I don’t count because I don’t really use it. If I am using YouTube it’s usually on my TV.

For me, it's a mental health issue. I have to "hide my head in the sand" to some extent, otherwise the likelihood increases that I'll finally decide that nothing is worth it anymore.

I think nowadays he is mostly known by music nerds, boomers and hip hop producers.

Kinda looks like people are like "it's down now, so it'll not changw in 12 months" most of the time. Like, most of graph is offset by 12 months...so people are just persistence forecasting on average when asked (or the average of the extreme predictions is persistence)
