The sitcom format in general just doesn’t work for modern audiences. The format needed entirely self contained narratives which could be watched with a whole family - that isn’t what the market demands these days.

I think Seinfield sucked but I think all sitcom sucks, mostly because I didn’t grow up in a house that watched them + moved to streaming before I had my own place.

Shocking. Man has opinion and that opinion primarily applies to himself.

A ton of very questionable choices on this list. Many of these aren’t even prestige TV?

The office US is broadly considered the better version. It certainly had a way bigger market success.

100% this.

“Don’t infringe on what I determine to be my rights; but abduct/kill anyone I determine to be an enemy”

Hasn’t ubuntu always been the “non-tech friendly linux distro”? Their market niche was not being light weight.

The motivations of kids are generally pretty obvious - most parents know exactly what it is their kids are wanting to do. And kids will work to accomplish that motivation despite what roadblocks the parents put in place, and at somepoint they will figure out a strategy to remain undetected.

Parents don’t really get a vote WRT their kids having sex or doing drugs. They get _some influence over the details of how those occur, if they show they can be trusted to not freak out.

Backyard campfire. Paired with my choice of

• Music
• Other people
• Edibles / etc.
• Online chess

I just kinda go out there and vibe for an hour or so a couple times a week.

That’s a great bit. Well done OOP

I’m pretty convinced GDD was spawned from a content farm likely in India. Reddit pays for successful content now which just incentivized a bunch subs to orient towards rage bait content. GDD walks the line between open sexism and normal venting, mostly just to piss people off and bait engagement.

Two objectively wrong opinions; all anime is trash, and no anime is trash.

The only thing keeping me sane is the knowledge that for the last several decades, Congress only voted for whatever they were bribed to vote for anyways. They’ve never voted one way or the other because they “understood” the subject matter.

They acted corruptly before, they’re acting corruptly now. Nothing has changed.

Something that became very obvious to me when Shorts became so popular - the mega platforms have an endless supply of low quality content they can keep feeding you so long as you keep coming back. The actual good stuff should only last the typical person 30-60 minutes per day, if you spend longer than that, you’re mostly looking at lazy slop.

So yeah the good stuff that does well on Reddit/X, also does well here. But there’s less content so it’s easier to feel like I “ran out”, but in a good way. I ran out of low quality time wasting slop.

There’s been a ton of updates, and a lot of bugs

Now instead of a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation, it will be a faceless notification destroying your account with no explanation AND destroy a bit more of the ecosystem.

TBH, the reply of “Dead internet theory” is starting to feel like a bot pattern matching on “bot talking to bot”.

Like we get it.

That’s what I’m struggling with. X is awful, Reddit is awful, tumblr is awful, and I can’t think of a 4th established platform that fills the nich. This is the closest, which is why I am here.

I got hit by a word filter too. Each individual word was SFW but the combination could be interpreted as hateful (even though it wasn’t in context). So they have some sort of intent-matching system that is poorly implemented, probably piping it through the cheapest haiku model they can access.

The vast majority of Americans have plenty of people to blame.
