Reminds me of a time when I had a strange problem and opened a thread asking for help; I eventually managed to solve it via somewhat esoteric methods and then posted 'nvm fixed it', only to then, years later encounter the problem again, and when I google that exact problem my post is at the top and the only one regarding this issue too, and I've no idea how I fixed it years ago.
Reddit is probably the best online resource for that, crowdsourced solutions to obscure PC/software issues, and the worst resource for absolutely anything else. I call this the "techbro saturation principle"
It's really crazy just how bad the internet has gotten at tech support in like the last decade. It's definitely also a result of every tech standard becoming more and more feature creeped and then slowly becoming incompatible, but just ten years ago if you had a problem you would definitely find at least a handful of people with similar problems.
Also google deliberately degrading their search quality to make people spend more time searching for things, so you get a ton of unrelated garbage and have to try to determine which ones are even the same problem you have.
Why do stories that may start out so promising and suggestive seem to always turn to crap towards the very end? Because any consistent working-out of problems tends towards communism. Such a consistent working-out has to be sabotaged, thwarted; to do that, the principle of consistency itself has to be chucked overboard. A counter-revolutionary ending has to be passed off as a happy ending, meaning whoever represents the revolution must turn out to be a villain, no matter how implausible or visibly tacked-on this characterization is. Erik Killmonger, Daenerys Targaryen, Alma Coin, and Lady Trieu all break bad sort of inexplicably, punishing the viewer for supporting the power-claim of someone with good politics. The message is unequivocal: “Having good politics doesn’t make you fit to rule! Having no politics does! The restoration of the status quo is the best we can hope for.”
You know, this was my discussion about Gaddafi with the lib I worked with; I told him of all the stuff Gaddafi did for his country and he was just sitting there, waiting for me to be like 'but he DID.....'. I could see the that impassable void, that impassable hole that needed to hear that Gaddafi actually had like this one really evil thing that I hadn't mentioned yet, because otherwise to him it seemed inexplicable why we would overthrow him.
If you think Daenarys Targaryan represents any kind of revolutionary or socialist force you need to reread the books. She is literally an avatar of monarchic power and aristocracy. She is four different kinds of the chosen one and special and unique by virtue of her blood, birth and station. Her return to power is literally the return of a people who rule over a continent by virtue of their literal special blood and their ethnic identity,
Hate to admit it but chatgpt is really making headway in the "google the question and add 'reddit' at the end" space. There's been multiple google-to-solve things where it found useful info that google results didn't produce.
