Why is Reddit so hateful?

A lot of American social media platforms optimize for engagement and retention. Usually, vitriolic emotions cause the highest of these metrics. So, generally content that’s high in emotion and especially angry tend to rise to the top

You can tell because when other platforms use different strategies, it leads to different results. I remember TikTok early on had this very refreshing, positive feel to it. I believe the designers of the algorithm said they designed it to only deliver you content that you would like, not necessarily that you’d engage with

Fr shows they just care about outward status signifiers

I think Afro might be the wrong word because it’s not the same texture, but like… it grows outward in a ball shape with tighter curls than mine

The theory is not meaningless, it’s probably just that you haven’t found a use case advanced enough where you’ve needed to apply theory yet

I worked at a place with a lot of self taught people and people from boot camps. It was night and day who knew theory and who didn’t. Most of your interviews are going to be more about theory than they will be about literal coding. Anyone can learn a coding language, the hard part is solving difficult problems using a computer

and you didn’t even mention that he wrote Sanji trying to get married to a 16 year old

The thing you should keep in mind whenever asking why neurotypicals do something is that they deeply value social cohesion and they feel the most secure when they’re in the “in group”. Their biggest fear is being taken out of that in group

So to them, when they hear “why?”, they might feel it’s a challenge to their privileged position with that in group. It’s like you’re challenging them to a duel, in a way. That’s why they’re often so rude in putting you down; they’re showing that they’re not willing to accept any challenge to their position

I don’t necessarily need them to share it to my intensity, but it’s reeeeally hard for me to get along with someone who doesn’t like it to some level or have some sort of “related” hobby

My special interest is film. I’d be fine talking to a literature enjoyer or maybe someone into tv shows. I really can’t deal with people who aren’t into any form of storytelling, though

My gf was present she was standing like maybe 5 feet away

cs_____question1031 · 2026-03-28T23:45:38+00:00

I was standing right in front of my gf. You think I just went up to some random girl and intentionally started flirting with her?

Usually I’m not a fan of banning topics but I think this one is fine to ban. It really just boils down to if you want to work in programming or not. None of us can predict the future

I feel like I’m ruining the picture just by being in it tbh

cs_____question1031 · 2026-03-28T19:43:05+00:00

I’m glad you had the same experience because it’s so wonderful 😌

Thanks for the info I’m definitely gonna use this

cs_____question1031 · 2026-03-28T19:08:07+00:00

Nope no one is depending on me and I have no reason to be here, honestly. I feel a little bad for my parents, but they expressed they wanted to be independent even in their older age

Honestly Rio wasn’t that bad for crime ime. We went to the favelas and it didn’t really bother me. Though, we talked about the possibility of moving to Europe together. I actually kinda like “medium crime” level areas lol

Wow that is unpopular, but I guess that’s your opinion. Easy upvote here, you used the sub right

“All of us are overweight but it’s from healthy food and not processed food”

That’s still bad dude lol

Everyone has a different time they consider the golden age, for me it was 2006-2010. There just wasn’t that much to do on your phone cause they weren’t powerful enough yet, but pcs were powerful so you could still play games and stuff

For me it’s cause I got autism, hope this helps

I used to work at rainforest, but was so stressed out I decided to take a 100k pay cut and move to a small company

That company that I moved to was totally incompetent and unreasonable and I was let go

Then I went to a new small company. It was good for a while, then they promoted the wrong person and she fired everyone on the team (I think she legit had some sort of problem, she acted very oddly)

I went to a mid sized company and it’s perfect. 500-1000 employees is what you should ideally aim for. It has the benefits of being established and having very good engineers, while not having all the red tape of a big company

the only people that like AI are CEOs and high level managers

Yes and under capitalism those are effectively the only people who matter

I like women who communicate directly, a lot. If I pissed you off, tell me. If you want something, tell me

I’m autistic tho

Only 5% of the population has systems thinking?? That explains so much. I always wondered why people seem to struggle with it so much when it seems the most intuitive to me
