Sometimes they do, sometimes (most times probably) they don’t. However they don’t work 100% of the time if attempts are never made.

Yes, let’s make the poor people that cannot afford EV pay for emissions.

I thought that they were being a bit dramatic with the usage of “horror injuries”… I changed my minde after reading the article.

Absolutely devastating to her and the family and friends.

And on the left, dear children, we can see a species of an Iberic racist

At least ChatGPT will not flag the question as duplicate.

It is a term used by people that think that everything is a conspiracy theory. Most likely OC meant that comments here are payed shills of soft drinks companies trying to downplayed the significance of these news.

In reality, it’s full of reasonable people that don’t immediately jump on the boogieman bandwagon but simply critically look at the announcement and provide context for it so people don’t immediately stop consuming sugar-free consumables in favour of sugared ones as we know the latter to be deadly.

I really like this bot.

I am not replacing it.

I have already done it few weeks ago.

You call us insane but you don’t want to be harsh? I wonder what would you call people that are not panicking at even a possibility that anything personal becomes public if you were trying to be harsh.

On a more serious note, I am happy that people like you exist that care about privacy as it benefits everyone overall I guess. But you have to remember that some people, like me, don’t have issues with having their opinions and even some personal data public as long as we are aware that this is the case (which is how I treat all the social media).

For instance, durning my Reddit 7-year tenure I always wrote my comments in a way that if suddenly my employers or friend brought it up, I would not be ashamed of what I wrote.

I am not saying it’s not good to think and discuss about things like that but I would appreciate if you didn’t call people insane that have a very different attitude to you if it comes to internet privacy.

Some people freak out about internet privacy, GMO, sweeteners causing cancer, etc. There are others that don’t.

People might also ask you to provide further justification of your comment. In both cases you can either engage in a civil manner, tell them to eat a bag of dicks or just ingore.

This is exactly the right attitude

And yet, that was not due to the likes and dislikes being visible but your comment. I still don’t see the difference in potential of harassment due to likes being visible versus comments.

I have a 7 year old Reddit account with 38k karma and I was never pursued or harrassed by anyone (a part from some heated exchanges in comments which I abandoned once I grew tired of them).

Radioactive? Honestly, some people are never satisfied and really like to constantly complain, don’t they?

What privacy threat? How is your privacy suddenly exposed by your like or dislike on the post as opposed to this comment?

Well, I disagree. Redditsms, or whatever you call them, among other things helped to make reddit as popular as it is (was) right now.

I get you don’t like it personally, but your personal opinion about them being cringe, while respectable, is not a fact.

Damn, our bean downvoting boys keep getting exposed.

For me, it makes so much sense. Likes and dislikes, besides serving as a means of sorting posts and comments, also serve as a shortcut for leaving a comment saying, “This^” or “I disagree.”

I respect your right to be wrong about the bean meme.

Now we know who are the people stalling the liftoff of the bean’s meme to the stratosphere.
