I just bought an electric duster which I’ll now be using to dry off my steel bike. I was using a microfiber to give it a quick wipe down before. I bought the duster for other cleaning but now I’m finding so many more uses for it lol.

I read too that going no rules is basically abandoning moderating and giving Reddit more ‘legitimate’ reason to replace the mods.
Another weird example would be r/soccer and r/football where soccer ironically became the defacto.
Were they held down though? In California when they eliminated AA at their public universities there wasn’t much change in the economic outcomes for asian and white students. Sure, before maybe they didn’t get to go to the ‘best’ school but on average still had similar outcomes.
This isn’t true for black/Hispanic/native American students whose economic outcome depreciated. These students benefited from being able to break into the social networks provided by elite universities. Something that white/Asian students might already have access to.
So if all that matters is going to elite schools then sure, but there are externalities that are important and not everyone benefits equally from the top echelon of schools. It’s not a perfect system but it’s better than not having it.
