Hasn't it been in dork mode for a while now? Oh wait, I misread... ;)

So you think words of an Ukrainian priest about Russian atrocities published by a British media source are invalid because... Americans vote for warmongering? Really?

Or do you believe barbarism is a zero-sum game and only one place in the whole wide world can engage in it at the same time?

And finally, you say "This isn't barbarism. War is barbarism" - what exactly do you believe is happening in Ukraine right now?

So like the rest of Amazon then? Never used kindle, but Amazon for physical goods has been a dumpster fire for a while - completely overrun with dropshipped garbage, to the extent that it's actually difficult now to find quality stuff in the sea of "brands" with random string of capital letter names, all using the same poorly photoshopped image...

I genuinely and unironically think vandalism like this should be grounds for cancellation of your passport for a while in addition to all other penalties (say, for 5 years). If you can't play nice, you're grounded and you don't get to visit other countries until you grow up.

The pigheaded doubling- and tripling-down on this is impressive in a way. Let's see in a couple of months how many actual content creators left reddit and came here or somewhere else. I do hope spez is left with an empty site full of lurkers and bots, after all people who actually provided content for free for years leave him in the dust...

Then again, I'm not going back there anyway, so to be completely honest I don't care that much - the fediverse is my new home (even though I'm repulsed by the name).

I do genuinely hope no teacher ever goes postal with a gun issued due to that rule, but I do wonder what the reaction would be to a tragedy like that - a new rule to issue guns to all students when they enter the school so that they can defend themselves? The mind boggles...

I feel you - reddit was my daily staple for more than 15 years. Can't remember exactly, since my account is 15 years, but I browsed without it for a long while before that. And I will miss it, dearly. I'm super sad and angry that spez and the rest of his merry band of morons decided to screw it up this bad. I'll miss some local communities, some gaming ones, some silly video ones, and just the general feeling that any time I go to the bathroom there's going to be tons of new content for me to browse through.

Sure this place will grow too, I'm sure of it, but it will take a lot of time. It's pretty damn hard to change my habits after 15 years - RiF is my most used app BY FAR, and I'm super sad to see it die like this...
