  • All extremist sides are just everywhere because extremism tends to be the best way for populists to gather votes and attention. Democracy is completely useless when the population is uneducated and cannot choose what’s best for themselves in the long, and even in the short term.

    Here in Mexico things are getting wilder every year, people choose influencers and tv/sports stars just because they are famous, the president from 2012-2018 was chosen by a big percent of the population just because he was handsome lol

    But now the best selling point is extremism, blaming x because of y since you are a victim but we can do z, z being whatever nonsensical and irresponsible measure that would change things.

  • It’s somewhat better but heavily depends on what you play and how you play it. Empirically, it’s better as now I only find toxic players every 20 games or so, when before it was like 1/2. But I also recommend to just mute everything and everyone and stick to ARAM if you don’t like toxicity.

  • There are multiple people falling prey to Nigerian/Philippines romance scams, thinking a celebrity/influencer/hot person is using an alt account to contact them because they fell in love with them at first sight.

    They give thousands of dollars, millions even. They take out loans, sell their houses, lose all their inheritance, all because they think they are special, when in truth they are just lonely enough to believe the lies that make them think their life has any meaning at all.

    The way these scams operate and how Trump manipulates people is virtually the same. It’s impressive what loneliness and egocentrism do to us and how vulnerable we can be to the most obvious lies.

  • I know of a certain big company that has a bug report UI in one of their main products that literally goes nowhere, it used to go to a table in the db, then they removed the table since it was not really used and they wanted to get more storage, so someone quick fixed the bug report to go to a Google sheet

    Nobody really checks that sheet and it is not automated or used for anything at all, the person that created that sheet was also deprovisioned some time ago.

    Also since many things have changed the only thing that is pulled to the sheet is the first field to specify the category of the bug, all the descriptions, files, photos, logs and more granular items are just not going anywhere.

    When this was reported the only reply from management was “QA will check it later” this was 2 years ago so…yeah
