I was going to suggest Vitalik Buterin for the Fake Nobel of Economics as a bit, but the coiners already beat me to it.

So my next choices for the award would be SBF or Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Will the rectum monitor keep track of the duration of my nocturnal erections? I need to find out if I can hit 179 minutes to flex on 18-year olds.

You know what's really good for mental health? Work that makes you feel guilty and politics you don't have any influence over.

Welcome to the club. They say a shared suffering is only half the suffering.

This was discussed in last week's Stubsack, but I don't think we mind talking about talking the same thing twice. I, for one, do not look forward to browsing Wikipedia exclusively through pre-2024 archived versions, so I hope (with some pessimism) their disapponintingly milquetoast stance works out.

Reading a bit of the old Reddit sneerclub can help understand some of the Awful vernacular, but otherwise it's as much of a lurkmoar as any other online circlejerk. The old guard keep referencing cringe techbros and TESCREALs I've never heard of while I still can't remember which Scott A we're talking about in which thread.

Wow. Congratulations to Rosalind Lee for her colleague and husband's nobel. I can only dream of one day having my spouse be recognized with such prestigious accolade for something we have done.

I did not expect to be tricked into reading about the nighttime erections of the man with the most severe midlife crisis in the world.

he has 80% fewer gray hairs, representing a “31-year age reversal”

According to Wikipedia this guy is 47. Sorry about your hair as a teenager I guess? I hope the early graying didn't lead to any long term self-esteem issues.

How do we prevent huge segments of the world from being priced out of access through paywalls?

Based Mozilla. Abolish landlords. Obliterate the commodity form. Full luxury gay communism now.

How do we ensure that privacy is not a privilege of the few but a fundamental right available to everyone? These are significant and enduring questions that have no single answer. But, for right now on the internet of today, a big part of the answer is online advertising.
