When I foraged for mushrooms like a lot of people, I skipped like 90% of various mushrooms that are theoretically edible, instead limiting myself to boletes and chanterelles. So really the game is more to avoid false positives, than false negatives. Not dying a painful death is a good motivator.

It needs an option "neither" or "both", and not mark edible mushrooms as "mildly poisonous", eg.

Nah. Tankies are unfortunately locally sourced useful idiots. Let's say if there's a code pink activist, they're American even though the organization is financed by the CCP.

Tell me you haven't looked at the price of cars for at least a decade without telling me you haven't looked as the price of cars for at least a decade...
$50k is now the *average* price.

Cars are essential in most of the U.S. They're also increasingly unaffordable
The average new car costs $50,000. The average used car is $25,000. Insurance, repairs and maintenance are soaring. But America's car-centric habits also cost us in more subtle ways.

"I like relaxing games ..."
Hmm... but she played Bethesda's Fallout 4, that's not relaxing, that makes you wanna chuck computer out the window every time it crashes, spends 10 minutes on a one of bazillion loading screens, or soft-locks you out of quest progression :-P

You'd also save money by not needing a 401(k), because you won't survive that long on US public trying to ride a bicycle next to the frickin' lifted trucks.

Again. Losses are $44B, bailout is $12B, of which probably like a half is going to get lost to corruption. So they're getting 13 cents on a dollar. This ain't buying anyone votes.

It's a bailout. Farmers are completely cooked because tariffs and ICE raids. Estimated farmer losses are at $44B.

No disagreement here. My opinion is that there should be high quality, high trust moderation lists maintained by BlueSky itself, so people won't go looking for the shoddy ones created by randos. But it won't stop randos from creating them.

Are they interested in knowing though? The whole blocklist thing has zero transparency, zero accountability, you don't know who or why has added certain account to the block list. People using blocklist seem to be absolutely fine with that.
