by a mystery of facebook's algorithmic ranking, i see a lot of posts by strangers complaining about cheating or a fear of cheating. i've never really understood this, because i can't see how cheating could possibly be widespread or difficult to avoid. for your partner to cheat, they must (1) be really hot, and (2) be really stupid (or at least impulsive) -- because at least to people will need to want to fuck them at the same time (a rarity), and they need to consciously decide to handle this situation in an irresponsible way instead of just becoming poly or exerting self-control

i subscribed to this guy's newsletter years ago -- seemingly cool, intelligent, interesting, with meaningful and insightful things to say about a wide variety of topics. and then at some point he got into NFTs. and then slowly more and more of the newsletter was about NFTs (which was OK because he sent them less and less frequently). but today he sent one out, and it literally begins with 'pay for twitter because otherwise nobody will see your posts' and the rest of the newsletter is literally NFT investing tips? like dude, even the most hard-core NFT boosters ditched the scene a year and a half ago, wtf are you doing? i followed you for japanese rural pizza-toast analysis and reflections on human-centered UX; why have you become a 2020 SNL skit?

if you're somehow under the impression that discussion on HN (or lobste.rs) is high-quality, try sorting posts by new and reading entire comment threads. the hn mods are very good at ensuring that comments (regardless of quality or salience) that superficially resemble intelligent & civil discussion show up high on frontpage posts. HN is a certain kind of cultural bubble (and lobste.rs is a slightly different but largely adjacent bubble), and ideas that conflict with the unexamined assumptions forming the foundation of this bubble get quickly buried under emotional outbursts, like they do in other communities; there's a large volume of this shit (although most posts have zero interaction -- justified since most posts are low-information self-promotion bullshit -- most comments are in long flame threads attached to troll/bait posts). the comments that end up not being removed from frontpage posts are the ones that do not threaten the whole 'capitalism and pop-science are the solution to every problem' model common to HN posters, arguably because such comments inevitably cause ugly fights -- the kind that the mods would like to make outsiders think never happen there; of course, the general acceptance of this model is arguably the biggest problem with HN's community and the SV tech industry whose culture HN purports to represent, so these flamewars are actually the most pro-social form of content on the whole site. lobste.rs is basically just ex-HN people who don't believe anything different from the HN people but have a slightly higher average technical competence and a marginally lower tolerance for obvious spam.

Folks who don't use medium -- do they have misleading popups or something? I have an account so I never see any of this crap, but people have indicated to me that they think they need to pay for (non-paywalled) posts.

In case anybody cares, I've fixed up my mirror of all my medium posts. (Useful if you are a cheapskate!) As always, I prefer people with a medium account to actually go there & clap so I get a dime. http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/

SOME PEOPLE HAVE POINTED OUT THAT WRITING APPS IN POSTSCRIPT IS SANE-ISH. THIS IS TRUE. IT'S HARD TO COME UP WITH COMPARABLE SITUATIONS THAT ARE MORE ABSURD, BECAUSE WE COLLECTIVELY DID THE ABSOLUTE WORST THING AND THEN CONVINCED OURSELVES IT WAS OK.
