If a mobile app results in higher Reddit-esque behavior then I'm permanently opposed to a mobile app.

I think it's fulfilling the Bahai global unity prophecy, but in a monkeys paw sort of way.

Is the guilty pleasure here one that you feel the satisfaction/enjoyment/reward is one that your younger self would disdain?

It's okay to evolve your thinking on this. Some of my younger ideas were conclusively proven wrong, payed for by the consequences of my actions and all that. Younger me clearly got a few things wrong, I feel like I need to re-examine my preconceptions often.

Young Me, a voracious reader, was defeated several times by the LOTR books. To this day, I doubt I could force myself to read dozens of pages of Tom Bombadil singing about trees.

Also Neil Stephenson, come to think of it. I believe that I've absorbed enough of Snow Crash and Diamond Age via nerd culture to provide summaries of both but oof, I couldn't finish either of them.

Can you explain the counting a bit more?

I interpreted it as: For every three pills I put into the channel, I add +1 to my internal count.

"The last number is unique for every 30" means... if you have a mental count of 13, you have 39 pills channeled? I didn't quite follow...

Honestly really enjoyed it.

I was pleasantly surprised at the change of media. It was done very well.

I got a good outcome! Thanks!

Or one could conclude that the bots were posting at a time of day intending you as the reading target. As long as they post things that you are inclined to agree with, you'll feel positive reinforcement about an issue regardless of the actual popularity or even viability.

No, but you should be prepared to have people suspect you are using AI to create your responses.

C'est la vie.

The good news is that it will rectify itself and soon the output will lack even these signals.

4chan's system is pretty good. You can display your country or you can pick from a 'meme flag' (Pirate, Gadsen, etc)

Make it optional that you don't need to display it but you cannot misrepresent your country.

The Czechs were even agoggier, one might say.

In a terrible mixup, it was revealed that it was actually the first words of the first Czech president, after the envelope was opened to reveal the word "máma".

It's actually the basis of community building. The students take some ownership of the area they work/live in by fixing/building for others.

Wonderful idea.
