Do a “site:reddit.com your username” search & you’ll find that all your comments are still there.

This is the shortsightedness of US politics:

On the one hand you have a spoilt rapey trust fund brat that’s too stupid but will implement fascism in behalf of those whispering in his ear verses a near dead self proclaimed zionist actively taking part in the genocide of the Palestinian people and in doing so has side stepped Congress multiple times to carry out that participation and promises to do stuff if you vote him in but despite having control of all 3 branches of govt, does fuck all.

So who do you vote for?

It’s either eat the shit in some fake consensual choice and fucking smile about it or get force fed it whether you like it or not, and you all do this every 4 years but never stop to ask why you’re all eating shit

Lately I’ve found myself info dumping on people about some tangentially related subjects that I’ve been reading about over the last decade:

• Loss of the ‘third place’
• Privatisation of public space.
• Decimation of the high street & how removing, not increasing parking spaces will be instrumental in reviving it
• How out of town retail shopping parks contributed to the obesity epidemic.
• Why the UK has seemingly unique weather compared to it’s neighbours

That article is horrible, not for it’s content but their insistence of underlining words and phrases in sentences as links but it creates false emphasis and makes it unreadable!

They need to learn to develop some subtlety with their word cloud link nonsense

Suicide is also a bad idea and you are going to regret it if you find you’ve put yourself in an unstoppable position. This is evidenced by people who miraculously survive their attempts.

Also, no matter how little you think you mean to anyone, it’s going to hurt them.

My friend killed himself back in 1991 and 33 years later, I still think about him at least once a week.

We used to share music so new stuff I hear, I think if he would have liked it. He was an incredible intelligent and astute person so I think about all the insights he might have shared with me.

Most of all, I’ve still no idea why he did it. The ‘daily’ issues he had going on were not insurmountable and despite conversations we had ranging all manner of subjects, there was no indication of him being troubled by deeper issues.

He got a lift into town with his stepdad to collect his bike, went to the top of a car park and jumped off.

No note. No indication. Nothing.

And when evidence later emerges that they were killed by the Israeli military (for example)… theyll just shrug their shoulders

It’s not a compo face article. That was pulled from her social media as she was murdered.

This is one of the main issues with all new builds in London.

There’s plenty of places going up but they’re all being sold to overseas investors as buy to let and do it keeps making rents exorbitant for locals.

Feinstein’s primary caregiver: Pelosi’s daughter

Pelosis eldest daughter is reportedly taking care of the 89-year-old Democrat, raising concerns that Pelosi is blurring the lines between friendship and politics.

Nancy Pelosi reportedly blamed ‘the left’ and sexism for intense scrutiny of Dianne Feinstein’s health

Pelosi is keeping Feinstein in place so she can swap her out for Schiff instead of having two other candidates who would be interim replacements that are more left wing and not (so much) under her control.

I don’t think she has enough consistent cognitive functionality to know wtf is going on really.

She’s being propped up by Pelosi rather than being allowed to decompose horizontally with dignity.

It’s indicative of just how corrupt the political class is in every western country

The vast majority of his wealth is wrapped up in stock of a massively overvalued car company and the loans he needed to buy twitter have huge interest payments and he doesn’t have the cash to pay them

The thing Elon fails to understand is that someone didn’t just write Twitter on one go and gift it on to the world.

He did actually say at once point about scraping all the code base & starting from scratch!

Unless Apple drops the price of their devices by at least a third, it’s not really going to happen.

Another thing to consider is that Jamf will certainly not be dominating the Apple MDM management solution arena in a decade either.

Companies with a mostly win estate with win infra, aren’t happy with paying another $40 per user, per year for Jamf and Intune will be making up a lot of ground for a one shop solution, even if management is not as featured or complex as what Jamf offers.

Reddit AMAs pretty much died after they sacked Victoria.

But it’s not about replicating what Reddit was about, then or now. It’s about getting back to what we had before the centralisation of the net but with the lessons learnt. To build a more egalitarian platform without the necessity to drive engagement at whatever cost.

We don’t need to, nor should look to set up tooling with what we learnt from Reddits failures. We’re building a new, better experience of the web and we definitely shouldn’t be looking to just migrate the user base from one site to a bunch of federated servers. We need people to definitely experience a cultural cleanse. Not to just have an exodus from there with all the bad habits and aggressions. We know where that path leads.

We are on the cusp of a potential paradigm shift of the internet and we can shape what it becomes!

Exciting times!

All of that didn’t happen overnight. It took literally years for all that to get baked.

It was at least 2 years before Imgur was created & then after that stuff like RES & mobile apps

It’s going to be the same when people bailed Digg.

They all complained about the interface and lack of features but then spent all their time pasting ascii images comments and starting pun threads.

I would rather there be a slow decline in Twitter & Reddit than a mass exodus. An immediate consequence is the loss of signal to noise ratio and that would be too much to take for a second time!

[Apologies for the double post - liftoff indicated that it had failed to post both times]

Will, he did start on one to go into caves in Thailand but got distracted with calling the real hero a paedo!

Its not just the ads but the algorithm pushes young men down the alt right pipeline.

I presume because it’s split up into a million loosely connected pieces, we should be largely insulated from corporate invasion and interference.

Pretty much
