Early on it seemed like they were going to like, close the love triangle, and make the girls just as interested in each other as they were interested in Archie.
Which kind of seems like an interesting approach, if nothing else it kinid of gives the girls a bit more chance to be indecisive themselves instead of just twiddling their thumbs waiting for Archie all the time.
But from comments from the actresses and the way the episodes have gone since then, it doesn't seem like they're actually going that way.
In which case the kiss is just kind of dumb, instead of a setup for anything.
Maybe the show runner decided at the last minute to drop the set up, though you're right it could just have been for fan service too.
The first like 2 episodes felt like they were setting up a lot of hints that Veronica was kind of into Betty. The kiss, trying to convince her that her whole thing Archie wasn't going to work out, going like super overboard with the charm offensive when Betty was pissed at her. It felt like Veronica was basically trying to catch Betty on the rebound.

"Such willpower!"
The eyes of onlookers widen in amazement as you look lingeringly over each treat, cooing in proper delight and complimenting every one, but then allow the tray to pass by. Someone applauds. Fortunately, no one notices your leg trembling.
I believe that's the third book he's announced and then not produced.
Canceled or not bothered making the book for the publisher? The latter can get your sued.
I don't think either of the others had a publisher, he just said he was writing a book about Gamergate and something else I can't be bothered to look up. So far nothing.
I guess it's wise not to delight too much in the misfortunes of others, and there's certainly a large element of oh now he's a terrible person? But still.
But with this manifesto, Zuckerberg is articulating an ambition that is in some ways grander than the US presidency: He wants to use Facebook as the platform on which to build a global civil society, creating a service that encourages communities and cooperation and political participation on a transnational scale. He frames national governments as merely one piece of “social infrastructure,” and suggests that the world might need something to push beyond their limits. He wants Facebook to help humanity take its “next step.”
...
Sapiens, which is written by the Israeli historian Yuval Harari, is a mind-bending look at why and how Homo sapiens took over the earth. It begins by establishing our species’ lowly beginnings. “The most important thing to know about prehistoric humans is that they were insignificant animals with no more impact on their environment than gorillas, fireflies or jellyfish,” Harari writes.
...
The task Zuckerberg is setting for Facebook is nothing less than building a platform atop which a truly global civil society can flourish.
...
For all the talk of whether Zuckerberg aspires to make Facebook a quasi-governmental entity, or whether he hopes to use it to launch himself into leadership of an actual government, what he’s outlining here is a vision that would make Facebook the primary platform mediating those “many layers of communities between us and government” — but on a global scale.
This is art. All while Zuckerberg was talking up his vision of whatever it is he's doing, I wondered what kind person would seriously entertain the thoughts of great Silicon Valley leader. This should go into the Vox hall of fame.

I wonder how this vision includes a reason why there aren't any moderators?

Bleeding edge tends to not be so hot when the tech has no one there to say "Don't do that shit." His philosophy of making FB into a proto-government (what is he, Peter Wiggin?) when government itself is built to moderate both the citizens under their protection and keep their branches in check. Facebook does neither right. In fact, it's an embarrassment on that front.
edit: We have an example of what this looks like in an actual government, and I'm not sure that's what he wanted to capture.
This Roman era eu4 mod is really scratching an itch.
Now I'm supporting a bunch of colonies for no real reason and attacking people to bring in enough money to not go broke so super historically accurate.
I don't know if it's just me, but that link doesn't have a side bar that lets me go downward to read the piece.
edit: And from what I know about FB is that they're as useless as twitter. They may as well not exist.
No, there would be a lot more porn and gore if they didn't.
That's just it, it's great that they stop to clean that up - unfortunately they leave everything else like it's a jungle and only the strong survive. That's why competent moderators are important. That they can get rid of the gore and the porn doesn't mean the their duty ends there to keep it safe for everyone. It's like having police that are only interested in stopping thieves and serial killers.
edit: Simply put, moderators should be seen and felt in online communities. A poorly moderated online community is a recipe for disaster.

Yeah, but there are articles about people getting PTSD from their time as Facebook moderators, maybe have a little more appreciation than zero.

It's not really a coincidence that the more pro-"freedom of speech" an online community is, the bigger the garbage fire that it tends to be.

I already said they did a good job on those aspects, that's hardly zero. And it is important for FB to do more as moderators, since they clearly have more work to do to make the site safe for its community. It's a big site, and they are clearly don't have either the man power or resources that the site needs. That's a massive failure for any site, especially one as popular as FB.
the moral standards of #deeplyreligiousthirdworldcountry are probably not especially progressive compared to midwestern USA
Are you comparing FB to a third world country?
edit: Zucker himself is progressive/centrist Democrat from what I know about him, that's why FB's development is so bizarre. It's like we're learning he's secretly Paul Ryan in disguise.

This isn't going to help FB in the long run by ethic standards, you're right. It's baffling how bad sites like twitter and Facebook have bungled their moderating, they can't rely on typical corporate outsourcing to solve this problem.

I seriously wish I could just set the Daily Orders and Contract Orders to vs AI only
Players are often easier to kill than bots but at least I don't have to deal with racist homophobic pieces of shit when I'm killing bots.
So much schadenfreude.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the scaling back of dodgeball in PE class. Like, 99%.
