Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger, but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world. Researchers say the answer isn’t to stop following current events—it’s to build healthier habits around how, when, and where we get our news.

    I’ve noticed recently that reddit just makes you a random username and you can comment without having an account. I’m sure it’s still tracking you somehow but it’s kinda nice to still comment on something you’re looking up info for. I guess it makes sense with the AI modeling data usage now. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that they have enough data now to weigh comments based on the information they have about each user. Like if someone works in IT their comments get a little bit higher accuracy scores in the IT subs and same for any profession and it’s corresponding sub.

      I haven’t seen this and I don’t think I’ll ever return

      We all know it’s been bad, getting worse

      Really at the point where reddit lost its grimey subs and even dropped support for darknet market subs was the big tell

      Then the API changes… I still miss relay

      Does can go fuck himself and truly, the crowd on reddit now, meaning the current generation of Americans mostly, is completely and utterly retarded.
