I wasn’t alive back then, so I guess you mean

in the me*

I thought it was more about coming back from the war combined with advances in healthcare. The economic aspect makes sense, but families were bigger throughout history even in poorer economic times.

There were plenty of local jobs that paid better than jobs today do (adjusted for CoL) and needed less education etc.

If it were the only option, I’d gladly take it.

I rely on robots to do a lot of other things in my life, directly and indirectly.

Well, not many directly. But machines, definitely.

Yes, in Canada

Yeah, it was “none” for me because DVDs didn’t exist in my childhood. Well, at least not in my home.

As a Canadian, I’d be upset if we got paywalled. The BBC is where I go to for trusted news on international concerns.

Understandable, but I’d still be upset.

I’m curious, what was that about? Lol

I actually like this. No politics. No big name personalities. No distractions.

Just a search bar to ASK me what I want to see before it tells me what it thinks I want to see.

A limp is a thing, but it’s not an object

If it wasn’t for the AI nonsense, this could’ve actually been a great idea.

Businesses might want to use Reddit comments as ads.

Reddit says “Hey, let us find those glowing reviews that we have as Reddit comments, and you can link directly to the original source!”

Then the original comment writer could edit their comments to call political figures pedos, and businesses learn their lesson that this kind of stuff is not suited for using Reddit as a primary source, lol

Apostrophes aren’t symptoms, they’re easily-corrected mistakes.

Apostrophes almost never pluralize nouns. So if you’re talking about more than one of something, you almost never need to add an apostrophe to make it plural.

Knowledge is power. Being neurodiverse doesn’t change that.

1. You can probably re-use a burner phone again and again
2. What do you need a phone for? Could it be replaced with other items? (Cameras, walkie-talkies, printed maps?)

Up in Canada, I’ve only ever heard weed whacker

I do this.

If I wanted an AI summary, I’d put the article into my favourite LLM and ask for one.

I’m sure LLMs can take links sometimes.

And if Wikipedia wanted to include it directly into the site…make it a button, not an insertion.

That is more a failure of the person who made that decision than a failing of ChatBots, lol

Because people want to feel superior because they don’t know how to use a ChatBot can count the number of "r"s in the word “strawberry”, lol

Webpages bouncing stuff around as various elements load in.

Back in the day, the space would be reserved, so if something hadn’t loaded yet, that space would be blank.

Nowadays, you’ll be reading something (or worse – trying to click on something), and it’ll get bounced around because some other element of the webpage got loaded in.

Stealing from Reddit is just stealing from a thief in a way…
