Brave search is far better. It does it's own indexing which is better than google or bings, and lets you up rank or down rank websites without having to set up an account

Congrats for arguing for... enabling child exploitation?

The esafety report stated it was not allowed for sites to screen all users ages, and that all services had to provide a non id method of age verification.


I listened to the economist podcast on that- hilarious in the worst way- was leading harvard research

Nope- times new roman just looks better.

How can seatbelts be enforced? This is preposterous and imbecilic- if there isn't a policeman inside every car checking every minute how will we make sure that people are wearing them. Clearly there is no point in trying!

Not wearing seatbelts is preposterous.

There is seatbelt cameras in Australia.

They are everywhere, they can also be mobile and placed almost anywhere. These camera are mounted high so they can view down in through the windscreen.

They automatically issue a $1,251 for not wearing one to the license holder.


Huh, interesting. Australia keeps surprising me.

this is the end of socially acceptable political norms as we know them

Worse, a redefinition of what "socially acceptable" even means.

Isn't it obvious- we're hitting the limit of metrics of modern success/ end of this style of innovation- and are too uninventive to find new ones

Absolutely- I can't understand why it still has such a loyal base considering how low the quality is- I see more insightful discussion on facebook half the time

Because Reddit != Reddit and each subreddit has their own audience and moderation style. Most of Reddit might be a cesspit, but that doesn't mean all of it is.

I can't understand why cigarettes have such a loyal fanbase. They're smelly and expensive. Costing roughly 4k a year, I can't understand why someone wouldn't buy a nicer car or massive TV or something.

Whenever a platform is popular these days I just assume it is more addictive.


It's a long long, sad fall from when websites used to be popular primarily because they were insightful, cool or creative

Which is very on topic because being addictive is all that's needed to succeed in the ad-funded world.

Well op is comparing one cigarette to another, expanding your metaphors. And they're both "free".

Free, sure, if your privacy has no value.
