He literally has a “safe space” the way South Park imagined it? Poor Butters, going through all his shitty news just to find the rare, delusional comment in Trump’s favor.

If you need a job, it’s a job to have!

Even god’s sick of his shit

I mean, duh? I left the site years ago when it became clear they value making money over making a site I’d want to actually use.

They’re digging a hole in their userbase, even if they’re making money in the meantime. Just as the kid who tries to dig through the Earth can potentially “succeed” for a while, ending up in a hole several times deeper than they are tall, there will come a time when they look back up and realize they can’t get back out of it.

In other words, if Reddit keeps digging, there will come a point where things become untenable. (Although I’m sure those in charge will have their golden parachutes ready to go) the site itself will become so enshittified as to be unrecoverable. There’s no long-term plan to get Reddit out of that situation.

Aww, look at Reddit and its cute little shovel, digging their hole deeper and deeper without any real clue what they’re doing. Yeah, just a few feet more and you’ll dig through the center of the Earth, sweetie! Keep going!

Although Reddit disappoints me so much that I sigh whenever I see it linked, I am somewhat pleased that when GOG had to link a thread, they chose to use an old.reddit page in particular.

I used to think I wouldn’t quit Reddit until they got rid of the “old” style. Then the API debacle happened two years ago, and whelp. Here I am. 🙃

At least GOG knows how to treat its userbase.

Like the classic crimes of arson, murder, and jaywalking.

Wait, didn’t you post almost the exact thing in this same thread just a few hours after this?

I’m not complaining, I like the comments and I agree with them. I just felt deja vu reading this and when I scrolled back up to see the same username, I was like, “huh, maybe there was a glitch?”

Upvoting for the typo.

British users need to verify their ages to access r/periods

Ah yes, periods. A thing that famously only happens to adults. What the ever-loving fuck?

I’m not surprised that something on a topic that I consider “basic women’s health” is being blocked. Why, though? Is it too sexual (because vagina)? Is it too violent (because blood)? A teenager could have a million period-related questions without any part of it being “adult only.”

But I guess all of us should’ve thought about that when we decided to be born with female reproductive systems. So dangerous, so violent, so political.

I would love to have an electric vehicle. But first, I’d need to live somewhere with an appropriate power outlet near a reliable parking space.

I’m an apartment dweller that is lucky to find parking in front of my own home on Friday nights (when there are always more cars than usual.) I can only imagine how many people are in the same situation. Meanwhile, with the housing situation as it is, our ability to move to affordable houses (which could provide such power outlets) dwindles more every day. In this way, creating more affordable housing could lead more people to drive electric vehicles, simply by removing the barriers currently preventing them from doing so.

Hmmm. It’s almost like multiple facets of society… intersect somehow. Like if we were to improve one aspect, it could have a ripple effect that benefits other parts. So weird, right? Who would’a thunk it.

Mamdani does top out at numbers that were inconceivable just months ago; he does top out at around 40 percent. The moderate turnout is a key factor, as well as if college students are willing to come out in record numbers like they did in the primary.

I find it hard to imagine that people motivated enough to vote in a primary would neglect to vote in the larger race it leads to. Barring any election fuckery (which I’m sure will be attempted), this should bode well.

I don’t wish for ignorance, but sometimes I do watch wild creatures and think, “What a life. Find food, find shelter, find partner, lay eggs/babies. Pure biology in control.” Some deep part of me is massively jealous that I can’t give in to what my ancient genes want me to do. Being able to fulfill my basic needs is subject to the whims of capitalism.

Though not having to tolerate parasites and disease without medicine, not having to die right after mating, and having access to modern air conditioning are pretty strong perks of being a human.

For someone of his age and health status, all it takes is one fall. Just one trip on a rock, misjudgement of a stair step, or simply an uncoordinated shuffle of the feet, and that could destroy the rest of his life. Crash, broken bone, permanent incapacitation.

It’s the tipping point that puts so many people into nursing homes. It’s more than just a physical injury - for those with dementia, these types of events have a particularly destablizing effect on their minds. A bright, independent individual becomes a confused, pain-addled shell of their former self, never to return to their previous “normal” again. If that can happen to people who still have some grasp on their minds, just imagine what would become of Trump.

I think you’re right about Ukraine doing such a thing. IIRC they used drones to destroy some Russian supply depots a month or two ago. Though I think those were cabled? Which I had never heard of until then, but hey, if it works it works.

I wish. There’s a permanent restricted airspace around the capitol. In the before times, an unauthorized aircraft would get in serious trouble with the FAA. Nowadays with the sycophantic dictator in charge, who knows what could happen.

But it’d be a damn cool way to say your last words.

I’d say the lack of a conscience is the real hindrance. If more people cared about the consequences of their actions, we’d be in a better place. It’s just a shame so many psychopaths are able to flourish.

(I lived.)

Phew Thank you for that closure.
