Aggressive moderation can be very toxic. The /r/toronto and /r/askTO subreddits are modded by essentially the same people. They remove comments/posts without explanation as to what…

YT search results also show results that have literally nothing to do with the query. Stop showing me videos I watched previously when I'm literally in the midst of trying to find …

> Do Finales Define a Show? It's mind-boggling how much Benioff and Weiss dropped the ball on the final two seasons of GOT. It's hard for me to even re-watch clips of the early sea…

You'd be surprised. I remember meeting a woman who said she doesn't date men who don't have at minimum, a Masters. A doctor I matched up with on an online dating app asked me to cl…

I'm not sure why roundabouts are so uncommon in North America. Where I live, at a 4 way small street intersection, two of the entrances have stop signs with a roundabout in the mid…

So, is he still going to lead some team at Microsoft?

To be frank, isn't it weird to appoint an interim CEO who sides with the person you ousted? Why not have appointed someone more sympathetic to your position?

I disagree. Browsers like Chrome and Firefox have the ability to install different engines, yet I'd be shocked if Google wasn't at least 90% of the current default search engine on…

Wow that brings me back. I remember being on AskReddit when it was relatively small (maybe a few hundred thousand subscribers). My favorite contribution to that subreddit was one o…

Exactly. Sometimes you play a game, and you realize, shit I invested points in these attributes but upon reading strategy guides, I realize I fucked up the distribution and there's…

I'm unclear as to why that is hard to imagine. I live in a city that has many free tech meetups. One of them involved going through fast.ai. Tech companies were happy to host us fo…

It's really strange, people here are encouraging about online dating and you'd think it'd be easier than ever to find a compatible mate what with the ability to have "access" to pe…

Totally understandable. That said, on subreddits I see people who post content without attribution all the time. I recall in /r/aww you can't directly link to an Instagram post but…

Yup. In Canada, he funded over a hundred libraries.

I never thought we'd hit a point in my lifetime where artificially generated porn would be compelling, but I'm utterly impressed by the quality of SFM adult content. And I'm thinki…
