How? One looks like someone cared about it and the other can be dismissed at a glance

Hey I stopped using it and facebook years ago! Couldnt agree more.
Eh, no. I'm personally fine with disavowing famous people. We've no obligation to act like we know them or care about them.

I love how you can tell something was generated because it comes out clear and using many of the important writing fundamentals we were all taught.

It is absolutely one of the better benefits of this forum
Title is misleading, there is an open discussion on the topic with someone raising valid points and a clear escalation method that involves a vote from another group.

Yeah you can, though to be fair its referred to as jevons paradox because it is counterintuitive.
Re:Does that use a lot of energy? on Wednesday March 04, 2026 @04:18PM (#47254022)
