I mean it’s definitely both, but the fashy admins were the last straw.

Yep, entirely fair. S’why I left.

I’m not complaining about people leaving, just saying the bots are not the biggest problem.

Oh no doubt, everybody had some kooky ideas.

Positively giddy. :)

The Navy cooked up all sorts of whack-a-doodle ideas that didn’t have a chance in hell of being feasible, much less useful, but that’s definitely the silliest I’ve seen in a while.

You’re right, relative density and the chemical composition necessary to oxidize fuel combustion definitely are irrelevant, thanks for reminding me!

Ohhh, shit, my bad. I hadn’t seen that.

That’s fair, it just seems like that if they’re going down the list of problems looking for things they can do to make reddit a better place, it doesn’t make sense to not start at the top.

Yeah it’s definitely the bots and not the fashy admins that drove me away from reddit.

Why are you replying to someone else and pinging me? I’m just making a silly joke over here.

To the best of my knowledge the navy has never flown a plane underwater. If I’m wrong about that then please do enlighten me, I’d love to read that shit.

Plane not fly in water, plane fly in air.

It was just a half-assed attempt to provide an example, I’m just a dude on the internet who doesn’t write headlines all day, I’m sure someone who does could come up with something better.

That sounds like some incel shit right there. But since you said you’re married I’m forced to assume that you came by your misogyny honest?

You are wrong. Yeah times have changed, but not so much that you can’t just fucking talk to someone. Say hi, strike up a conversation, whatever, and trust that anyone who doesn’t want to talk will say so. The important thing when that happens is to listen to them and leave them alone.

You know what, I think maybe I was a little overzealous in my reading of that person’s comment. I just went and reread it and realized there’s not a lot there, so I was probably assuming intent or meaning that may or may not have been there. My bad.

Yeah, I also see the appeal of just having one job and being able to focus utterly on that. In my case I was running the grill and making the sandwiches too, so I had to switch between them regularly without messing up orders or letting the meat cook too long and with frequent interruptions to run to the opposite end of the store to grab a new box of burgers from the freezer, and it was kind of the combination of doing multiple different things that kind of coalesced into the idea of being the calm amidst the chaos and somehow getting all of it right.

Yeah that’s kind of my point: society has not stopped to think about the fact that the water is at a full boil and has been for a while. If I had my way ads would just be a basic, boring, ‘This product/service exists, and this is what an independent panel of testers has determined about its functions and capabilities.’ There have definitely been products that were advertised to me that make my life easier and that I use every day, so I don’t want to lose the ability to discover them, I just also don’t want these companies putting their dick in my ass and whispering into my ear that I’m not good enough person as a person if I don’t like it.

Oh yeah, I grew up in the 70s/80s when that shit became rife. I loved Saturday morning cartoons until I got old enough to realize that they only existed to sell me toys (and to sell ads for other toys.)
