I work in a manufacturing facility, so very much a safety sensitive environment.

We are required to be drug tested as part of a pre-employment screening and potentially after incidents. The cool thing is it is part of our collective bargaining agreement that they are not allowed to screen for THC with a urine sample because of how invasive it is.

Mouth swabs are more expensive, but also only screen for THC within 24 hours. I’m sure that number is up for debate as well, but it is a far cry from the 6-8 weeks you can potentially test positive for with a urine screening.

Actual insightful conversation on a variety of subjects. Especially current events, I notice this the most when discussing content updates in video games. While official forums exist a lot of the games I play essentially use their subreddit as a semi-official community with devs being active participants.

/r/eve and /r/pathofexile are great examples of this.

It’s hard to discount the success Reddit has had over the last decade or so positioning themselves as the “front page of the internet” giving people a forum to discuss all manner of subjects.

As I understand a lot of the hatred against Reddit and spez specifically comes from his attempts to monetize this phenomenon, not how effective/popular the site was.

You don’t think monetizing data means using it train AI?

Who cares what /u/cincinatticatlover69 thinks about the sandwich /u/someshittypopculturepun ate for lunch other AI looking to monitor human communication habits.

That just sounds like banning with more steps.

I think that’s part of why they stopped allowing third party apps, they were worried our (there?) data was going to be used to train AI. I assume whatever is restricting that, also restricts the search results.

Nah, this is what happens when society is more concerned with sensationalism than factuality.

I try not to keep up with social norms but this comment really perplexed me. I tend to subscribe to a very literal definition of the term racist.

This comment is inherently degrading to people and their culture based on the colour of their skin. That’s racism full stop, creating racism power rankings with thresholds where comments aren’t racist if you are disparaging a collectively agreed upon advantaged race doesn’t seem like the proper direction to be going if the goal is to stop racially motivated prejudice.
