People thinking the English language is static and has to follow rules.
This Is English, my friend. The top dog of non-proscriptive languages where meanings change over time and reflect current usage.
Want to force everyone to follow the rules?
Start speaking French.
and might even get better
I honestly doubt it. I don’t think it is possible for reddit to be profitable in anything like its current form.
Twitter, before the EM implosion, had managed one profitable year in the last decade.
Reddit has about 2 orders of magnitude less users than twitter.
Those users are much less attractive to advertisers because reddit knows fuck all about them compared to twitter.
Reddit surfed through the years of cheap vc money but going public could kill it.
Are we still doing phrasing?
After all, the 24 hour news cycle lives on scandals.
And because it is a 24 hour cycle, the scandal will be forgotten and replaced with a new one in the same amount of time.
Well, if it brings you joy, fill your boots.
From the horse or the person swinging the stick?
(When people let their anger get the best of them they often, regrettably, start to resemble the focus of their anger.)
Take The Money and Run?
I was thinking more along the lines of: The Gambler
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
Except they should have walked away about 4 years ago…when their chip stack was a much larger pile. Now they are trying to run with what they have left.
Honestly, why bother?
Management has been wanting to cash out for a decade.
The IPO will go ahead, the reddit of the days of yore is dead. It will not improve.
The horse is dead, beating it will just make you hot, sweaty and your arm sore.
No matter what you feel about the place it was never going to go any other way.
They are about 2 years too late.
The rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually need to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.
The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.
That is quite expensive, maybe two girls can share one…
since athletes can’t be paid,
Remind me again, what is it called when the people generating the wealth are not compensated?
It can actually be a problem for the schools, since athletics isn’t allowed to be profitable. They have to spend all the money athletics brings in on athletics, which is why the athletics department ends up with all the fancy new buildings.
Ah yes, that sounds like a great benefit for students getting an education. Also for the academic staff. Must be great to work at a university as a lecturer and know the football coach earns multiples of your salary.
There ARE things where you can’t “bias” your way out of it, things that are objectively correct and incorrect.
There are still people who believe the world is flat.
The things you believe are objectively correct and incorrect are not the same for everyone.
That is the problem,
Reality is not the same for everyone and many people believe they have the right to enforce their version of reality on others.
yep. The bigger the sub, the worse it was.
You would get some niche subs were there was some decent discussion but once one passed about 100K subscribers there would be a noticeable downward spiral.

Not surprising really, humans haven’t changed in that time.
Most people don’t want the correct answer, they just want their preconceived biases to be confirmed.
and wait till Apple complies with the EU order
I thought the EU had determined that iMessage will not be subject to the open messaging provisions.
iMessage will reportedly dodge EU regulations, won’t have to open up
Depends. In this case I would go with a tart apple, granny smith or similar.
I’m not saying anything goes either but if people around you use less and fewer interchangeably, there is no communication breakdown at all.
Do you know the correct times to use practice vs practise?
