I am so lost here. Are you suggesting that many people buy mirrors linked to the internet these days so that they can mimic figures displayed on that mirror in order to get their physical exercise in? Does the “mirror” need to be plugged in constantly(electricity/internet)? Is it even a mirror, or is it really just a shiny screen with a camera?
No bad faith intended here. I’d love for you to give me the name of the product - it just seems so odd to me.
Thanks Margot, for taking some time out of your busy schedule to post this fabulously intricate meta-contribution on bots, identity, and social media! Its much appreciated.
Bei allem populistischen FDP-Bashing: Die FPD und Lindner in Person haben sich in den Koalitionsverhandlungen auf die Hinterbeine gestellt um auf jeden Fall dieses Ministerium zu bekommen - und eben nicht “nur” das BMWi. Jetzt hat das FDP-geführte Ministerium ganz schön mist gebaut. Gepokert und verloren. Die Grünen mussten durch das Heizungsdesaster durch, die FDP muss sich jetzt das 60 Mrd.-Loch ankreiden lassen.
Wow, that biography is a wild ride, culminating in “his 100th birthday, during which Anton Nilson himself held a speech lasting for several hours”.
Best of luck to the Swedish workers at the Tesla plant in any case.
What brain-dead form of utilitarianism is that supposed to be? The “I’m-16-and-on-a-wikipedia-bender”-kind?
We don’t hold 6-year-old children accountable for very much in a legal sense, because they are essentially animals able to (barely) speak. Thats why we instead regulate gun-ownership, so that no child has access to firearms. And if that doesn’t seem to do the trick yet, I’d suggest regulating more comprehensively and holding parents accountable, so that it is very much in their own interest to keep guns from kids. We might also fund social services and schools to the extent that children are able to adequatley learn how to control their emotions and verbalise anger, unhapiness in a non-ciolent way, even if their parents are a bunch of irresponsible idiots.
That seem much preferable to executing a six year old every once in a while to be save.
This is surprisingly sick funk for the end of my day.
Constitutional renewal every generation?
As a non-USA-Citizen, this is what always gets me about the originalists at SCOTUS: the idea of changing the constitution to reflect what the majority of US citizen believes is simply not possible anymore, because of outrageous distortions of the process. Given how unequal voters are distributed across states and the effective veto power of very small states, there is no way for the majority of people to do what the originalists demand: adapting the law so that no interpretation is necessary.
What makes originalism and those that represent it so incredible stupid is THAT THEY ADMIT THIS. Scalia used to chuckle in interviews when this was pointed out to him.
Precisely. I just saw that you have to be on .new or the official app to participate. Oh well…
Doing it right now is absolutely tone-deaf.
Its mandated fun. “Users, you have been agitated in the last weeks. We hereby strongly suggest you participate in this thing we have chosen in order for you to have fun again.”
Reddit becomes stale as it goes through the motions when trying to hand out the member berries.
Either they are dumb or I am.
Though we’d love to reveal more to you all now, we’re in the process of early testing and feedback, so aren’t ready to share official details just yet.
So they are killing cashflow at this crucial point and any possible replacement is “in the process of early testing and feedback”? WTF? Am I missing something?
Question is what do you do then? First, you try to reach profitability. Get out of the red by milking users and reducing costs, but there is little chance to get that really sweet ROI that you dreamt of in the last decade. What do you do next? My guess is that we will see some websites change ownership into some shadier hands in the next years. The personal data collected could still be worth something after all.
They are nothing but hot air until they really do it. And when they really do it, they will look and be really stupid.
Don’t fan their vanity by paying attention to stupid people doing stupid things. Put your phone away or close your laptop, go out, breath some fresh air. This nonsense is of no concern to you.
Brilliant. Maybe we can get something going there. Also: spread the word if you want to. (:
I used to have a dice to determine the roots I would practice in… Shaking it up is definitively important and helpful.

Thanks for sharing! It just goes to show how different daily lives can be. Not in my wildest dreams would I get that in my house. But again, no bad faith here - to each their own.
Probs to Peloton though for diversifying their product base I guess. Home fitness as a service seems to still have some growth potential in it even after COVID is over.
