  • Isn’t this a bit disingenuous to why they originally started to change the algorithm though?

    People figured it out and started abusing it by spinning up proxy websites that would just link to the sites they wanted higher up in the rankings. You could argue Google only became an advertising company so that they could regulate that whilst also taking a slice.

    I’m not arguing that they’ve since lost their way though.




  • Smoking has always been gross to me. It stinks from a mile away and the breath of smokers is horrendous. Doubly so for weed. I also think vaping sucks. Most vapers just seen to not care about anyone in their surroundings. If there’s a vaper near me at a concert I find it hard to breathe at times, on top of not being able to see through their Thomas the tank engine sized puff of smoke.

    I don’t mind drinking but I’ve never been a crazy drinker as I’ve not needed it to join in on the fun. I’ve not drank for the entirety of this year but that’s due to my adhd meds and I’ve not felt the need to actively not take them just so i can drink one night.

    I’m a millennial.







  • For your example, to make the list clearer in writing I would usually do one of the two.

    I like Jazz, Rock and Roll, and Classical.

    Or

    I like Jazz, Rock & Roll and Classical.

    (Or the other way around if a list item includes “and” specifically)

    I often write in a way that flows better when talking, so I usually try to find ways like the above to make that kind of flow look more understandable in writing too. I don’t think your and-less version flows well, in my way of speaking at least. But I also wouldn’t tell you to stop doing that, because I can understand it, and that matters most in reality.
