Its a communication platform and these people are just communicating. Part of good communication is watching who is actually listening. That’s all this is.

I dunno. I agree that the way engagement is used is often toxic, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. If your job is creating content, then its useful to know how well that content is being received by your community. Hell, without measuring interaction in some way you wouldn’t even know if you had a community.

I thought this was programmer humor, not programmer horror

Best comment in the whole thread

Seriously. I got a med that is $1500, but insurance won’t cover it till I meet my deductible. The generic is cheaper, but they won’t cover it at all. Cost plus has it for $60 with no insurance at all. Our system can get fucked.

Loops is pretty great these days

First time I’ve seen the term “financial obesity” and I love it. Thanks.

Can confirm. People here play really stupid political games. At least we got rid of that ass hat Ryan Walters though…

Sadly it seems voyager doesn’t support that yet

Two is only “better” due to the fact it was entirely unmemorable. I recall something about a cloning facility on a water world and some robot guy that wasn’t a robot.

The worst sin in three IMHO was belaboring every little plot point to connect up to four. It was brutal to watch. In many ways it reminded me of the “writing” for the last season of GoT.

Yeah, its all mostly meh. The originals were great mostly because I was a kid. Prequels were trash, but 3 was the worst of them. 7 was only better because it looked like they were going back to the roots of SW. 8 and 9 were absolute trash. S1 of Andor and Mando were some of the best stuff they’ve done in that universe. The rest of it adds very little value at all.

That said, the universe itself is rich and interesting and I wish there was more content that dives into it. KOTOR was my favorite entry in the universe overall and arguably has the best writing.

Also, I would still love to see a buddy cop sitcom set in some metropolitan planet. Think Brooklyn 99 in space. Doesn’t even have to be SW. I just want this show.

I feel like I used to be a centrist, and then things continued shifting around me until the concept of the government acting sanely and working for the people it represents makes me an extreme leftist…

I guess I need to buy another bike…

If you are used to documentation like MS’s, then AI responses probably look more reasonable and useful. If AI results look better than your own docs you should feel really bad.
