Back in 2017 or whatever that North American solar eclipse was, I drove down to Bend Oregon to view it. After, there was bumper to bumper traffic almost the whole way north, back to Seattle, WA. There was literal bumper to bumper traffic from Bend, OR to Issaquah, WA. That was almost 350 miles and took basically an entire day. It was horrible having to pee on the side of the road in bumper to bumper traffic in the middle of nowhere. Protip? Don't try to drink the Gatorade just to have a pee bottle.

I think this place and the fediverse we're in now is supposed to be based in anti censorship? So you should theoretically be able to just outright say you hope he dies? I'm not actually sure on that though. Any mods or admins here if you want to correct me, please do. Because, I do hope abbott chokes on a brussel sprout and dies. Him, desantis, trump, and carlson can all join limbaugh in the forever nothing with the rest of the fucking nazis. They can all fight strokes and lose. Again, mods, let me know if this isn't okay, I'll gladly check myself hahaha. (I'm not used to being able to say stuff like this and it feels... dirty or wrong to just say)

Wait, hold up. Is he actually Mormon?

Edit: I looked around briefly and there doesn't seem to be any clear evidence for him being Mormon or part of the lds church.

But also, Mormons love porn. There have been multiple studies from porn websites and Google that show that Utah has not only one of the highest per-capita consumption of porn, but also have a major (iirc, majority) interest in trans women. Which is... fascinating.

Edit2: jk, looks like my info is old. The trans and Mormon thing was from like 2009 and may be a shitty study by one guy on subscription porn. It seems like NOW, utahians don't use pornhub at all, but this year there was a huge increase in VPNs.

Why sow conspiracy?

Is my suggestion departed enough from expectation from exhibited behavior patterns from Reddit's CEO and admins that it needs to be cautioned as intentionality sowing conspiracy?

Is it really outside the bounds of what's possible?

If you criticize it so, and think it easy to verify, then why not provide that verification?

Why pretend this is an extreme idea when we see sock puppeting often enough to have a term for it?

GOOD.

Maybe there's at least one person fighting for good in there.

Or, the random person saying the mods got reinstated is a plant and just wants people to have faith and come back.

Yeah, huh. It's weird how that happened. Disney, ruiner of many small companies and destroyer of the purpose of copyright law on a deeply greedy level, goes against a sociopath nazi white nationalist, probably kkk.

Ten years ago, I liked Disney stuff but hated what they've done to the freedom of law and ruining the opportunities of many.

But here we are, post-2016 trump era, the world is way, way worse, and my activist political aunt was right.

She said to me, back then at a family get together after dinner, that electing trump is an extremely scary thing and would be bad.

I asked her what's the worst that could really happen.

She kinda stared back at me, as if to gauge what to say. Then said that he was the type of person that brings all the awful things out from under their rocks, and told me to keep my eyes open and pay attention, because if he got elected, the next 4 years will be the type of history that only happens once in a lifetime.

She was 100% serious, as if she could see the future. But she was just in her 60s, big gay, from DC, and confident and loud. I can still see the the look of dread and sorrow on her face as she said that to me, and I doubt I'll ever forget it.

Power typically begets more power, and the only way to fix it is to forcefully bend it to your will over and over again. I can't believe Disney is where our trust is for civil rights, but, I guess it can always be worse and Disney knows that and is using us for support. It's not great.

Fuck spez.

It's like boomer sociopaths grew old enough in their time, and were like "yeah, ruin everything, yeah yeah". But then millennial sociopaths grew old enough and are now like, "hold my coke..." Can we reign this shit in for the future generations at least? Because it's awful.

Nobody said it makes sense.

We'll see in a few days what the people end up choosing. I'm not going back unless demands are met, but I do have a tiny glimmer of hope that the people will let it go as apps disappear, and a slightly larger glimmer of hope that it'll just kinda shrivel over the following months and years.

But, in all likelihood, people are dumb, and spineless and ignorant, and will continue to make spez money and the durability of the site will endure. It'll be worse, but not worse enough for the vast majority of normal people to not use it. I have hope, but it's simply hope in the face of my ever growing misanthropy.
