But Reddit is keeping score! Number go up or no dopamine.

Yeah, Tesla made this claim about the model X being full self driving in 5 years and being able to become an autonomous taxi while you weren't using it. Still waiting on that one...

It's to get around the KYC (Know Your Client) requirements that many financial institutions and cryptocurrency exchanges have when creating a new account to curb money laundering. Obviously criminals using crypto for dark markets need a way to convert it back to cash without giving up their real identity.

I promise you there are older and weirder people in the world who can still find love and fulfillment. Yeah it might be harder, but it is still possible. The most important step is to take care of yourself first. Seriously, look into therapy or support groups. You are not alone in this struggle.

I mean this in the kindest way possible: I think you need some mental health support. Failure isn't something you are, it's merely something that happens and it happens to the best of us. You can always change, but it takes some effort and the will to change. Having more self-esteem will really help you find the type of sexual relationship you seem to be seeking.

The call screening is done on-device, but if you flag a screened call as spam then you get the option to send the recording to Google. I'm guessing those get fingerprinted and then used to detect spam when screening other calls.

Clearly I wasn't using the figures in that article because I said it was 400 over 25 years, not 240 in a single year. Even in that article they say they were able to confirm at least 12 shootings in that year, supporting my estimated average of 1 per month.

Also children don't have to be actually shot to be traumatized by a shooting. The number of children affected by school shootings is thousands of times higher than the number of injuries or deaths.

There's an even better way to handle spam calls if you have a recent Android phone: use the automated call screening. Every time robocallers hang up immediately before saying a single word because they know if the person flags the call as spam then Google now has a recording to automatically flag future calls even if they spoof new phone numbers.

If only...

According to a quick search I could only find 2 cases of tornadoes hitting US schools in the last 25 years, giving an average of about 1 school tornado hit per 12 years. I believe it's fair to say that was overblown.

However, in the same 25 years there have been over 400 school shootings in the US, meaning there is an average of about 1 school shooting per month. I'd say that's a pretty reasonable fear.

Also one is an "act of god" while the other is entirely man-made. Keep the thought and prayers for the one god is actually responsible for.

When did people stop wanting to learn anything? Everything has to be dumbed down to the level of toddlers otherwise people can't be bothered.

To me the fediverse is great because you need higher than a room temperature IQ to use it so the posts are already far greater quality and the interactions are more meaningful than any other social network. Meta can keep all the screaming adult children in their platform.

They're too late, there's going to be way too much AI generated garbage in their data and so many social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter have already taken measures to curb scrapers.

Wrong, Bitcoins are mined at a fixed rate that decreases over time until the supply reaches 21 million, then there will be no new Bitcoins created: https://crypto.com/bitcoin/how-many-bitcoins-are-there
