How is Spotify ruining discovery? Imo they're absolutely crushing it, I've been loving their new DJ feature, used it exclusively on a four our car ride and the mix was awesome, and found a couple new bands. My only complaint is that their recent redesign and navigation patterns are a step down.

Or do you mean in terms of the free plan?

This is more UX than UI but the inconsistent volume is a nightmare, adding insult to injury. Everything I want to be equal or quieter is way louder.

That and the impact. The amount of communism or total and complete anti capitalism without nuance or depth, right or wrong. Reddit was very left, but not like here!

I don't see it mentioned so maybe it's not lesser known, but jackfruit is amazing. SEA like most amazing fruit but have seen it more often in North America. Fresh, not the prepped and sauced vegan style.

Each season was better than the last and it wrapped up really nicely but liking his stuff in general is required. Nothing was better than Vice Principals, imo.

It's been like 15 years for me after a similar situation and 1-2 times a day is no problem, but the window to get to a bathroom is shorter than I once remember, and any kind of stress, particularly in the morning, makes for a bad time (early travel days, etc).

In Catholicism a communion wafer is quite literally the body of Christ -- not symbolic. And Christ, as part of the holy trinity, is literally God. So Catholics do actually believe they're chomping down God every Sunday morning.

Waaaay more painful. Lately, primarily when via Chromecast, I get ads that are three to 15+ minutes long. Whole music videos forced into the middle of my kid watching a kids show. One time I got a literal sermon as an ad. The whole thing.

It feels like it should be illegal, especially for kids videos. I'm doing dishes the room over and have to stop, dry my hands, dig through my phone to find the skip button.

A 15 year old coming home from work and changing their bedsheets is a tad unlikely.

And the versioning of those textbooks to make sure it can sell for exactly nothing.

While I agree with the sentiment, what are some examples of the "so much stuff"? The big one for me is the red tape around browsers.

So you're saying it's proportional all the way up and not a big deal, or people love assholes and upvote all their material and comments for greater proportional impact?

If anything I would argue that the first and early adopters are less likely to be assholes, to where eventually you reach that tipping point and move back towards the average, which feels worse in what is a collection of niche communities, because the average engages slightly different content than early adopters.

Moreso, I think it's just confirmation bias. OP is hyper sensitive to a change in the culture so every example of it weighs a little more.

To be clear, like most things, I don't think it's one thing or another; a little from A, a little from B, and probably a slew of other factors.
