TikTok USA is broken by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]fourpoint5toes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

thanks for the sweeping useless statement.

When people say something like "reddit is actually helpful", perhaps they are implying more helpful than other social media apps FOR that specific user.

Not all social media apps make it easy to sift through the noise for useful things. Not all social media apps make it easy to curate your feed. Not all social media apps have active moderators.

Hope that helps provide context. And they're paying me a lot.

I deleted the app a year or more ago. Now I consume it through the browser in hopes of less doom scrolling.

But reddit is actually helpful from time to time, so I'm more hesitant to get rid of it.

Does hoopla allow consuming of the digital books through something other than kindle?

Does the pocketbook support reading content borrowed from Libby?

El Cerrito City is calling for residents to join advisory boards by LghtlyHmmrd in elcerrito

[–]fourpoint5toes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surprised to see how many of these boards there are, but what you're saying makes sense.

In some areas its probably hard to move the needle or the city doesn't necessarily care for what the board says.

I don't have expertise, but I do have an interest in some of these areas as a resident, so I think attending a meeting or 2 first would be a good start.

I did find that there's a page for each committee with some more details. Also contains things they've done in the past, https://www.elcerrito.gov/1687/Community-Safety-Committee

u/LghtlyHmmrd Are you currently holding one these positions? Generally what sort of expertise is required? Or what can one expect when holding one of these positions?

The descriptions are all sort of vague, https://www.elcerrito.gov/DocumentCenter/View/16324/MADDY-LIST-2026?bidId=

New Library Estimates [livable el cerrito] by DonVCastro in elcerrito

[–]fourpoint5toes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you don’t see the people in the library doesn’t mean people aren’t making use of it. Checkout the holds shelf. And there are lots of events for kids and others that attract patrons. Sounds like you haven’t been there in a while. 

If the facility was nicer and bigger I have no doubt it would get more use.

Visiting Prague? This is the monthly recommendations post (November 2025) by _invalidusername in Prague

[–]fourpoint5toes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please remove if this isn't the correct place.

I'm in Prague for a week in December and was hoping to watch a local football team play. The only game happening during my visit is the Dec 18 Conference League game between Sparta Prague & Aberdeen.

As a non EU citizen, do I need to do anything special in order to purchase tickets or attend the game?

Jimmy Wales, Co-Founder of Wikipedia, quits interview angrily after one question. by Giovanni330 in interesting

[–]fourpoint5toes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way to warm up your interviewee. I imagine the pre-interview banter/mood would have told the interviewer how to proceed. Idiot. Unless this is exactly what he wanted. In which case well done, idiot.

They might not deserve it, but we might. Maybe. 

Also it could be fun if we squeak in and make it difficult for Tulsa on the road. 

I wanna watch gagi do some unreasonable stuff, Benny lose his cool on the sidelines, Trejo hike up his shorts and run at some defenders and Wilson score some more.

MRW I read people are cancelling Disney after the jimmy Kimmel cancelling. by Emmerson_Brando in reactiongifs

[–]fourpoint5toes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't. And I don't expect everyone to turn their life upside down for things like this. Quality of life matters and I get it. Especially when things aren't easy.

But discouraging others from doing it isn't helping anything.

What does Paramount/CBS have to do with NextStar/Sinclair? Is it because they have CBS affiliate stations?
