That. That, the scorched earth policy toward anyone not on board, and the nazification of everyone in any degree of opposition.

The horseshoe feels like a circle sometimes.

They are the most orthodox of orthodox Jews and they are fucking nuts

The Haredi would like a word.

Technically, if you’re visiting the Big Bang, aren’t you home already in space?

It’s both. If it didn’t have a plausible legitimate use, it wouldn’t work as a dog whistle.

Everybody has bad actors, and they serve to complicate what oughtn’t be complicated, including language.

The absurdity and relative obscurity of this sends me

More likely it was when they were kids and without adult responsibilities, or narrow/whitewashed views of the past(as from stories and shows from before their birth)

Criticism, constructively made, helps avoid bad ideas, and makes good ones better. But you don’t always know the better way when you see a bad one— I don’t need to know how to build a boat to know a screen door won’t float.

Part of the problem is one side having a desire for autonomy, and limited, at best sense of self-determination. Robbing them and the state they have grievance with of both their autonomies and capacities for self-determination doesn’t seem like a good answer to the problems they both have.

This. People are complicated, even when it is inconvenient.

Additional points for having the panels work according to the original scene.

Non-elected lifetime appointments who were all appointed by Republicans

The shit rolled downhill, but I can see the person doing the shitting.

Management, certainly. Some specific bits, though, that may or may not fall under that umbrella:

• Comparatively high price tag.

• Short lead-in time to the change.

• Shambolic communication with devs, mods, and users at large.

Most users, I would wager, would have been fine with Reddit making money off of their data. That’s the tacit contract most of the internet runs on— you provide me a space and a framework, I allow you to monetise what I do there. It’s when those monetisation decisions start to hurt my experience being there that problems arise.

For me, what is much, much worse is the dismissal of such a large outpouring of discontent from the community. People are willing to put up with a lot they don’t like so long as they feel heard.

We felt heard by the mods, and heard by each other, but Huffman, the face and voice of the company, offered instead minimisation, condescension, and calumny.

He realized he needed to make a push in the press, so he resorted to the only way he apparently knows how to communicate: lying.

I already had it mulling in my head privately, but this shit conches it for me: spez has to go. He broke community trust, and continues to more and more as this thing drags out.
