As 'green' policies are enacted I think you mean

You're correct, a lot of people in the UK want to leave

> You can see this shift even in the rise of the word “content” itself. From Ted Gioia’s article: “The banal word ‘content’ is used to describe every type of creative work, implying that artistry is generic and interchangeable.”

Just one of a number of things wrong with the overuse of this word. I can’t be the only one who gags everytime someone mentions “content” or worse, the phrase “consuming content” which is just gross and stupid

> I don't get why folks find this depressing. If everything can be done by AI and robots - humans won't need to do "work" for all of our needs to be met. Ie, we can all go on perpetual holiday and/or work on things we truly love

That’s just not how this world works.

I’ve been reading since 2016 that there’s about to be a recession. The conclusion I’ve reached is some people REALLY want one.

Re: the drop in comment quality - it’s because this subject is being massively astroturfed at the moment, across all big sites.

It helps them to "consume content"

Cannot stand the term either, so many problems with it. For one it completely lacks any kind of precision... and the idea of 'consuming content' is just gross and stupid.

Exactly and it's SO obvious. I honestly don't understand how anyone can still read Reddit... these political groups basically run the site now.

Exercise helps more than anything I’ve ever found - I don’t mean small amounts I mean exercising till you’re sweating your bits off. Post-exercise you feel ready to CRUSH if you know what I mean :) I feel your pain my friend.

Let's keep quiet then and just allow them to add more ads with no pushback.

I've started taking Linux for gaming more seriously since the Proton devs managed to fix a stuttering issue in Elden Ring. Would so love to completely remove Windows from my life.
