I like it and think it has a lot of potential, but at least with Lemmy I've encountered a lot of bugs. I want to also try Mastodon and have yet to delve into it.

I believe everyone has their blind spots, but yeah, it appears that this person is too big of a distraction for people to look past. Personally when I read anything I view it from the lens that a human with bias wrote it and that it could potentially be propaganda. But just dismissing everything everyone writes as "fake news" is something I don't agree with either. It's a tough thing nowadays, deciding who and what to trust.

I don't necessarily agree that the existence and effect of social media on young people is the same thing as the marginalization of transgender people.

I saw this and was surprised that this sort of thing is allowed. Shouldn't debates be about the debate itself? I feel sorry for kids these days with having to be so careful with an online presence.

I've never visited this site before today and don't know who Bari Weiss is. I saw this on another news aggregation site, thought it was interesting, and I am curious about what this community thinks about it, bias of the website aside.

I've read several people complain over the last year or so that Google's results have been getting worse and they add site:reddit.com or similar to improve the results. I use a search engine called Kagi that includes a "lens" to see forum results only which is neat. I wonder if this is Google's attempted answer.

Google has a bad reputation for killing its own products, to be sure. This is a part of Search, though, so I think less likely to die. If the results are terrible, and users don't click on them, I bet you are right!

Well that's pretty high praise for that brand, at least. Thank you for answering my question.

But which one? What's a "standard" or "conventional" rice cooker? Is Zojirushi considered one of these? I haven't gotten one b/c the options are overwhelming to me. I'd love to narrow it down to 2 or 3 recommended options and then see which one I like best.

I was just accepted yesterday. I have social anxiety, so a younger, less self-aware version of myself would never have even submitted it. But thank goodness I've gotten better at this type of thing. Instead of over-analyzing and writing a huge essay, I timeboxed my response. Thankfully, it seems to have worked.

From what I can tell, I really do align with what the admins are after, here. I hope that it continues to work well.

I haven't researched rice cookers yet but have been sort of interested in one for a while. Are there any that are comparable to Zojirushi that would be worth considering, or is that the one to you?

Were you notified that you were approved? The policy was challenged and is now awaiting SCOTUS decision. I think folks were expecting a decision either this Thursday or Friday, or perhaps next Thursday or Friday. We'll see, though.
