Chris-

Wagner deserves to cook but this is hilarious, I hope for maximum pain for both parties involved. Perfect time for the hype upvote to be added.

What’s Russia’s equivalent of the National Guard? Couldn’t be more than 25k of them sitting around given the ongoing war effort, no?

@sblfilms bout to make stacks from the A/C and Icee machine. People will finally see The Flash.

Orcas apparently have something resembling culture so I wonder if this is payback for SeaWorld.

Apparently he’s not too bad, he’s competed in events and done pretty well (for someone picking up a combat sport in his 30s).

I'm a big fan of punk, post-punk, and dance punk (some of which tends to be more metal-heavy, like DFA1979).

From what I’ve read FFP rules only apply to club wages, so given that his actual salary with the club is paltry, it might be possible.

Not only that, but a CBS reporter who has been on it said that one of the days he was on deck they lost it for five hours. They’re fucked.

Instant disintegration at the bottom of the ocean probably isn’t the worst way to go honestly.

I play with my wife and we have successfully lobbied two (working on three) people to buy the game and join us, so my experience has been anything but lonely. Crossplay has been a blessing (the two people we convinced play on Xbox and PC, respectively, while we are on PS5).

Thick, fresh cut bacon straight from the meat counter is the GOAT. Applewood smoked is second best though.

What the heck is a Rokid Max

They are factually compromising the user experience, acknowledging that doesn’t entail any kind of value judgement. Is the user experience of Reddit particularly important? Not really, but that doesn’t change the material impact of the blackouts.

Actually I’m pretty sure they decided its worth when they offered to do it for free.

I wouldn't cross a picket line, and I think comparing this to a picket line does an extreme disservice to the importance (and for those participating, the consequences) of striking. This is just a bunch of self-important dweebs gatekeeping content and communities they don't own.

I don't think I need to outline the difference between people striking for the sake of their livelihoods and volunteer internet moderators protesting API pricing and rules. Go make your own site if you don't like the owner's decisions. Pretty pointless way of looking at it, huh?

So? Again, the question at hand is not whether reddit or the mods are right - it's whether or not the mods are justified compromising the site for most users for the sake of their own interests. How is that any different than a kid walking up to an unobserved bowl of Halloween candy and taking the whole thing, other trick-or-treaters be damned? Then telling the kids walking up afterwards, 'Hey, blame the house for putting out the bowl unobserved!'

The ability to do it doesn’t justify it, that is insane logic. A poor decision on Reddit’s part does not justify ruining the platform for the majority of users, none of whom are responsible for the decision being made. I struggle to see how it is anything but a massive temper tantrum.

Perhaps, but that still doesn’t justify undermining the site for other users.

That assumes (a) mods will leave en masse and (b) that they cannot be replaced, neither of which is necessarily true. It's also not an apt comparison because this isn't a matter of changing moderation policies/infrastructure, it's about API pricing/rules, which are completely unrelated. You can try to justify it all you want but it doesn't change how childish it is to fuck up the site for the 90% of users who wouldn't be affected or otherwise don't care, and quite frankly the stunt just makes me hope that reddit tells the remaining 10% to fuck off.

The wisdom of Reddit’s decision doesn’t justify ruining the experience for everyone else. That’s the kind of logic kids use on a playground when they take their ball and go home.

Doesn’t really matter, because either way a minority of users are compromising the experience for the majority, which is fucked up! If they don’t like the changes, don’t be a mod (or don’t post).
