  • Because Spotify is absolutely shit at suggesting new things.

    Even if I pick a particular theme there are many artists it won’t include until I manually select them and then magically they appear in the themed list.

    The human touch just means being able to suggest similar things based upon experience that is outside your bubble. Spotify makes a personalised experience based upon your bubble, so it can never truely pop.




  • On a related tangent, because I see that this is mostly discussed to death, I dont get why Americans decided to merge other unrelated words.

    For example, being exhausted and the rubber circle that cars and bikes use to roll smoothly are the same word in American English whereas we (UK) use different spellings.

    Tire - Being exhausted

    Tyre - Round rubber wheel thing









  • Not American here. Why would you put the punctuation inside the quotes unless you are quoting punctuation? Unless I misunderstood what you mean.

    For example:

    Bob wrote “this is amazing!”.

    Bob used an exclamation point, so I quoted an exclamation. If it is the end of my sentence then I use a full stop, if I quote it then it would imply the end of their sentence even though it wasn’t.

    Frazorth is amazing when he speaks, as I never knew someone could be quite so incoherent.

    Would be quoted as

    Bob said “Frazorth is amazing.”

    It distorts the context.


  • As per the initial comment, those that didn’t vote Tory mostly moved to Reform not to LibDem.

    Because LibDem wouldn’t make sense, as a pro-trans, pro-EU, pro-increase tax to pay for public services party they don’t offer anything that Tories want.

    That was a wishful thinking comment that some Tories might want to not move far-right, those that find the Tories unpalatable due to their shitty views have already moved.

    I would suggest that your more likely to find folks who voted LibDem to move to Green now that they’ve rebranded themselves to something other than crusty hippies. I know my mother moved from voting LibDem to Green.
