Coffee is like $2.50 for a 16oz, donuts are usually $1 each, and a pre-roll (1g) is like $5 in my area. $7 for a combo deal? Place would instantly be my new go-to.

Wow, you sure got butthurt. Too bad I didn't say anything about the people in Florida, they're more than welcome to live somewhere more sensible, say... on actual land, rather than a sandbar and a bit of hole-y limestone. But feel free to go down with the sandy ship you call home if you want. You can find me up the hill a little ways, laughing.

Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but uhh... says on your chart - you fucked up.

Please let this be the year that Florida finally sinks.

Oh man... when I made the 1st comment, I was trying to remember how many there already were. The 4th was bad enough that I didnt even watch the whole thing. Couldn't get past the 1st 10 minutes.

So a proper trainwreck comparison might end up even being the Home Alone movies.

Yeah, it's not like the kids are just showing up at the school. There's still a registration process, part of which includes providing the school with documentation that your kid has their shots.

Now, is their an increase in waivers? I could see that maybe being an argument, in that if you don't have "papers" you might be less likely to seek medical care, especially preventative care.

I reported a bunch of spam-link bots, porn-bots posting CSAM-adjacent stuff, and a slew of stuff that was very obviously and blatantly in violation of Reddit ToS.

All the links/content remained and my account got suspended for "abusing the report function". Considering the content I reported, it's a safe guess that Reddit admin and moderation teams benefit from having such material on the site. Not sure how, or why. But their actions seem to indicate something.

Then you look at the controversies Reddit has had... that one dude's suicide, Ghislaine Maxwell holding a powermod position on front-page subs, the powermod controversy wherein a dozen or so mods had thousands of subreddits under their control.

There's also been a huge attitude shift. While most of it seems the same, there's a very strong anti-American presence now that seems to make sure they fit that sentiment into every thread whether it's justified, related, or completely out of place.

The Reddit algorithms or whatever also seem to love pushing certain topics to the point of stripping it of any/all meaning and turning into propaganda.

While it sounds kind of gimmicky, the Time Dilation bit seems like it has a lot of potential. One aspect of a lot of open-world games that always gave me a "That's absolutely ridiculous" kind of chuckle is being able to slaughter all of the NPCs, walk away, and when you come back it's as though nothing happened.

It'd be neat to see that my murder-hobo rampage in 2030 has consequences later down the road in 2230 or something. Maybe I murdered the great-great grandmother of a quest NPC that changes how that bit goes...

Can't even get hyped for it because of how much the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies sucked.

Two-faced.

how women are not sexual objects

Seeing this when talking about porn... <facepalm>

Misleading title; SMM's "final" level creator came right out and said it was a trolling joke they let go a little too far. And also acknowledged the person who completed the non-troll "final" SMM level.

Good. Stoner culture is an overall detriment to society.

Flapping about, feeling morally superior... did you even try to search for an answer or did you just want to virtue signal? Take a look at RIsc, or Arm... or w/e the Chinese just released.

<shrug> I'd rather not have a porn actor serving as a role model to kids.

Nostalgia sure seems like quite the "go to" for anything "new" these days...

That's something that's always stuck out to me in regards to various artefacts -- the Chinese and other Asian cultures seem to use a lot more gemstones/minerals compared to Western/Greek/Roman-based using lots of heavy metals (gold, silver, copper etc).

Nah, I'd rather just not even consume the media. Especially considering video is mostly entertainment media anyways; anything actually useful hidden behind one of those stupid faces, I'll just find an alternative source.

Any of those punchable "react face" thumbnails. Dont care what the video is about, if it's got one of those stupid faces on it, straight to the fuckin' gulag!

<shrug> I support things being hackable, dumpable, flashable, whatever. I also support piracy. But those two aren't as interlinked as you want them to be.

Hacking because it's ownership. Do what you want with the things that you own. Piracy because fuck 'em. That's what happens when you make everything digital - it becomes much, much easier to acquire for free.
