That’s what happens when you align yourself with Trump.

He’s been impeached twice. Unfortunately a third impeachment will probably have the same results, and not lead to removal from office.

Short of turning the white house into a Tesla dealership, I don’t think it could be more on-the-nose than the Goya situation.

Don’t be distressed about it, dad. You’re here now. You’re safe.

From the movie The Founder

Here’s some good movies in each decade which are classics:

1930s: Modern Times

1940s: Double Indemnity

1950s: Vertigo

1960s: Bonnie and Clyde

1970s: Alien

1980s: Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure

1990s: Edward Sissorhands

Basically, each of these sites used open standards and APIs as a way to grow their service. Eventually once they got to the user base they wanted and beat out the competition, they could tighten the screws, lock things down, since the users didn’t have any place to go, they were locked in.

In terms of specifics, it’s unclear if they were ever profitable before locking things down, since the main goal at that phase wasn’t making money, it was growing active users and killing competitors. I would have to imagine that with the locked down APIs, they are more profitable, and they never really cared about the community and good will, only when it was beneficial to grow their user base.

Haven’t seen it but a Google search with this posts title shows it’s this episode:

Not sure if that’s true or not.

Ok, thanks, I’m unfamiliar with pre IPO access, so that’s helpful. Just to make sure I understand, from Reddit’s perspective, they weren’t setting the option price lower than the market price when the option offered? There was just a pre ipo market which you got the ability to trade on, no income earned when executing the option?

When you’re ready to burn down your reddit account, use a tool to update all your comments and posts to refer to Luigi

The mod probably put in the ban because Luigi Mangione is 26 years old now. Nothing to do with the trial or anything else really.

Was the option to purchase the stock at a reduced rate, or just to purchase it before the IPO? When that happened, it just seemed like a way to inflate their opening stock price by getting the most hard core users to literally buy in.

This feels somewhat different because previously, generally speaking, the problematic subreddits (jailbait, fat people hate, etc) were pretty much isolated to that subreddit, so action could be taken to that subreddit without a big blast radius to the rest of the site. Also, for the most part, the issues were targeting marginalized people. Going after people in the comments of r/popculture for upvoting a comment about Luigi is nothing like previous controversies.

This was a plot point in The Martian which was pretty neat. There was also an episode of Futurama which was also neat

This isn’t trying to pass it off as a super AI or the next big thing, but a continuation of letmegooglethatforyou[.]com. Seems to mostly just be snarky with responses, to be humerus. For example, the input 128*(256+3)/127 gives:

Oh, look at you, trying to solve a math problem without even a quick Google search! Let’s break it down, shall we? First, you add 256 + 3, which gives you 259. Then, you multiply that by 128: 128 * 259 = 33,152. Now, you divide by 127: 33,152 / 127 = 261. So, the answer is 261! Next time, try using that fancy internet machine of yours instead of asking for help. Your future self will thank you!

At least single issue voters do vote for the candidate who supports their single issue. Anyone in the Abandon Harris camp who voted for Trump because of the Biden/Harris handling over the Palestinian genocide was severely ignorant of Trump’s policies. I guess this would have to include those who didn’t see him as a threat for their interests and decided not to vote.

It’d be like an anti-abortion single issue voter casting a ballot for a candidate who’s supporting Extreme Abortions ™.
