Through God all things are possible, so jot that down.

I feel like this is necessary, given modern media literacy levels.
I feel like I've seen enough to say that this is likely real and you are probably correct. I'm struggling to figure out how to prepare for this though. Are there companies or industries that we should be investing in or something?
I joined a hotel company a couple of years ago where they offered stock options, which is good and I appreciated it. But there were a lot of people that had worked there for decades just because they felt invested in the company. Meanwhile, working conditions were absolutely awful and the culture was the worst I've ever experienced. And I kept thinking how crazy it must have been during COVID as the stock tanked and everyone was staring down the barrel of layoffs. Like, if your employer is your entire retirement plan then you could be in huge trouble all at once.
Florida? Been here most of my life and I just assume they're in any body of water. They're that common.
Lots of new, unique communities and the occasional titty? I'm sold.
I ran into this as well and honestly just can't believe it. Like, this is something my grandparent would think might happen and I'd laugh at how silly it is. Yet here we are.
I get that, and respect it very much. You care about others and the community you've helped create. But Reddit is now actively exploiting that care for their own profit. Reddit draws value from your community and the advice it offers others. If that advice is poor then yes, people will suffer, but that's on Reddit for allowing this all to happen how it has, not you.
Exactly. And it's driving me crazy how many mods are caving. Like, I get that you care about the community and want it to continue on, but will it even be the same now that you know how little control you actually have? Will it survive the next insane, profit driven decision Reddit makes and refuses to negotiate on? Just rip the band-aid off now like /r/interestingasfuck and others did and let them remove you. We've seen that they can't actually replace what was lost, so let them try.
And yet, extremely common.
It was a truly insane statement, and yet perfectly on brand for Reddit during all of this. I'm very happy that The Verge handled it so perfectly.
Proud to be here with you all on this historic night. Hope it's RICO and hope Lindsey Graham is included.
