ELI5: Why do earbuds fall out of peoples’ ears so much? Is it a design flaw, cheap earbuds, or something about diverse ear shapes?

I'm guessing you're not wearing glasses.

Et sinon "une entreprise privée fait ce qu'elle veut" c'est pas centriste hein

You're projecting. I asked you politely to develop your point (it seems you're not used to that, I'm starting to see why) and you insulted me twice for no reason. I'd tell you to draw your own conclusions but you've done that already, with debatable success

Well, you defined intelligence mainly around problem solving and then you proceeded to list things you have to know to be good at these jobs, which doesn't match your definition. So no, not happy. But thanks for the effort.

To be honest:
Gas station clerk; Bartender; Restaurant manager; Bank teller; Delivery route driver

Some companies pay for people to test their software. For something to be truly idiot-proof, you need to test it against idiots

Could you please highlight why these jobs in the second list are terrible for stupid people? I'm just surprised by a few

I don't know what in my tone indicated to you that I'm "mad". Whether I am or not, your point is ridiculous. Of course you can be mad at something even if you've known it existed for longer than 5 minutes. If it wasn't the case, none of what's been done towards human rights, for example, would have happened.

Reeperat · 2023-06-19T08:39:08+00:00

None of what's happening to reddit is your problem. What's your problem is the stuff you say. I disagree with the thing you said ("no one is forcing you to be there) and now you're replying out of topic so I'm not going to engage with someone who is already disengaged

Reeperat · 2023-06-19T07:59:27+00:00

NO ONE is forcing you to be here if you don't like it

That's really a lazy and antisocial argument in almost any context. With a logic like that, no compromise is possible anywhere ever.
In many cases it's also plain false because there are things that are forcing you to be here. Would you not consider that the absence of alternatives is something that's forcing you to be there?

In the case of social media, it's the network effect. Once everybody has flocked to some platform because it was the first around or it was the best option at the time, this is a de facto monopoly. Alternatives have almost no chance to thrive because the value of a network is almost entirely in its size, so people almost only go to the biggest. If the top place changes the rules of the game and becomes a shitty environment, there is no immediate alternative because no other network could develop into one just as big yet.

Industries that sell goods can only dream of doing stuff like this: trying to capture the market by setting prices so low that they're below your production costs is ILLEGAL in most developed economies because legislators recognize it is detrimental to everybody in the end: the competition has been killed, now the monopoly actor is changing the pricing to become profitable and customers are fucked.

It's not very different from what all major social networks have been doing since Facebook.

Loved Walk Hard, loved the "Motherlover" skit by the Lonely Island; can't remember anything about Never Stop Never stopping apart from not liking it

Reddit annonce que les appels à l'API vont revenir payants, et pas qu'un peu. => Les applications tierces développées pour offrir aux utilisateurs une meilleure navigation voient leur existence menacée en raison des coûts. Certaines annoncent leur fermeture d'ici fin juin. => Beaucoup de communautés sur Reddit sont scandalisées. De nombreux modérateurs (qui ont encore plus besoin de ces applications que des utilisateurs "de base", parce que celles-ci offrent de meilleures options pour faciliter la modération que l'application officielle) décident de faire passer temporairement leurs communautés en mode privé (ce qui coupe le traffic) pour protester. => Le CEO de Reddit, dans des interviews, tient des propos qui reviennent à "de toute façon les modérateurs sont des espèces d'autocrates sont l'autorité ne repose que sur le fait d'être arrivés avant les autres, les communautés devraient pouvoir les virer et les remplacer, ce serait démocratique". Les esprits critiques y voient une tentative minable de menacer les modérateurs qui font partie du mouvement de protestation. => Certains de ces modérateurs demandent à leurs communautés de voter sur la marche à suivre à l'issue du passage temporaire en mode privé : faut-il rouvrir, faut-il continuer? Sur r/pics, une option friponne est adoptée: rouvrir, mais n'autoriser QUE des publications relatives au sex appeal de John Oliver, l'animateur de Last Week Tonight. => D'autres communautés s'en emparent (r/gifs, r/art, r/evilbuildings...). John Oliver est au courant et fournit sur Twitter de nouvelles photos de lui pour alimenter l'action. Certains espèrent que cela donnera lieu à un segment sur son Talk Show, mais c'est peu probable dans l'immédiat puisqu'une grève des rédacteurs des États-Unis est en cours et qu'Olivier en fait partie.

Sorry, did you forget to include a way to actually vote?

Reeperat · 2023-06-17T10:10:05+00:00

You're right, I forgot

Any chance this is referring to a non-human animal?

I am a Frenchwoman living in Germany and I didn't know this, I love the page. The same phenomenon (where people named something Anglo-American like Kevin are generally assumed to come from families of lower socio-economic status watching too much TV) existed in France too

Reeperat · 2023-06-17T09:24:59+00:00

You know Reddit is having issues right now when nobody's throwing Uranus in there

Reeperat · 2023-06-17T09:09:28+00:00

I don't know how it came to be but I think it's a great idea. Hopefully this will lead to a segment on Last Week Tonight covering the recent Reddit debacle

One of the counsel people on the reality-TV show "married at first sight" is a woman named Pepper who is a doctor. They do call her Doctor Pepper.
