I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.

That's not even vaguely what I said, so it's unclear if this is some kind of language issue or the result of a disability, but I'm just feeling worse and worse for you. You somehow believe the cold war was about communism?

Comment Dumbing down (Score 5, Interesting) 107

$2.5 million doesn't even register on the state budget. PBS is incredible value for the money. I watched PBS frequently as a child and not just for the childrens shows. I learned to cook with Julia Child and Yan Can Cook. I learned home improvement from watching Bob Vila. I learned carpentry from Norm and his massive shop and also how it was done by hand with the Woodrights Shop. Not to mention all the science and documentary shows. But I guess all that stuff is woke and gay now for not kissing a certain orange individuals ring.

Comment Reddit is not social media (Score 2) 54

Reddit is not social media; it's a message board. Nothing so similar to 1980s UseNet can be considered social media, which debuted in the mid-2000s with MySpace (though the term "social media" wasn't even coined until the launch of the second such example, which was Facebook).

The difference between Reddit and social media? The latter puts profile and pictures at the core, whereas they are incidental in the former -- both used only to support the primary purpose which is text-based discussion.
