>our rate of technological progress [...] has plummeted since what
Peer review was disastrous for society. It was established since WW2 and our rate of technological progress and has plummeted since and academia became dogmatic. It’s literally just selecting for groupthink

It cannot be overstated how culturally significant shut the fuck up holy shit poasting is. I dont think you could engineer a better anti-progressive memetic virus in lab if you tried.

People think too hard about the state of FFXIV discourse. Game has been around for almost 15 years in its current form. Massive playerbase if you include lapsed. Statistically-speaking, anything they do, no matter how good, is likely to piss off enough people (~100) to hit FYP.

Dudes will see a handful of people xeet about wishing they could get BiS without savage and immediately imagine an entire secret rebel faction of non-content-doers threatening the state of the game. Like everyone needs to chill out and get off xitter lol

Finished Mistborn Era 1. People talked up Hero of Ages a lot but tbh I think it's the weakest of the three, although the ending is still pretty satisfying. Guess it's time to start Alloy of Law and see if Era 2 lives up to its even more glowing reputation.

Adam Robinson's company, Retention, creates software that de-anonymizes internet traffic, essentially the type of software that secretly figures out who you actually are, spies on you, and feeds you relevant ads or perhaps things far more heinous. Make of that what you will.

Remember, Halloween isn’t about candy or costumes or decorations! The true meaning of Halloween is rural chuds bullying effete school teachers.

in the oversaturated market of Austen adaptations, netflix bravely asks the question: what if everyone in Pride and Prejudice were ugly?
“It is a truth universally acknowledged…” Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden star in Pride and Prejudice, a series by Dolly Alderton. Premieres December 3.

Didn't see much in the FFXIV keynotes that really wowed me. Fierce is cool and I'm glad they're tuning it for "pick up and play" rather than "watch hector." A lot of the promised content seems to be backloaded though.

i'm sorry singafren but these booktok women live in a comfortable suburban single-family home with a household income >$100k per year. They typically have 1-3 children and probably fuck their spouse at least once a week. sorry you had to find out from me
Seeing something directly marketed toward millennial booktok jack skellington american trailer women is harrowing

Welcome to Trump’s America. You need to hand over your ID just to download a news app. Apparently, this is what protecting freedom looks like now.
Alabama passed a law, 138 votes to nothing, that makes every phone user in the state prove their age before downloading a single app. A 45-year-old who wants a news app has to hand ID to Google first. Existing accounts get no pass either. Every one of them must be verified by October 2027. Teenagers will need a parent’s sign-off to install Wikipedia, Duolingo or a Bible app, and kids without a parent to ask get locked out completely. Apple, Google and Amazon’s lobby group has now sued to block it on First Amendment grounds. reclaimthenet.org/alabama-is…

We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/
