Twitter and Reddit went so much to shit and lowered the bar so much that Meta actually became almost not bad in my eyes, almost.

Ok let's also assume he was intoxicated. Even then why the fuck would you tase him? Should've waited for the medical personnel. Then man was in his own goddamned house. WTF!

Contender? He should've been the president in 2016. Democrats had to fuck that up. Trump won mostly because people hated Hilary.

Yep, Gates era billionaires had the good sense to maintain a vaneer of selfless philanthropic personality where each interaction with public was carefully crafted by PR experts. So the general public didn't know who they really were as actual people.

But Musk landed on the scene and showed the world that billionaires are as stupid as—if not more because they are out of touch with the reality—as the regular person.

Israel is committing genocide and it's not antisemitism to oppose war crimes.

Sounds like a pos.

Also that sounds very illegal, no complaints have been filed or anything?

Now that the Reddit exodus is about a year old and the client apps have matured, what's the latest state of the above question?

What app do you use and why? I'm mainly interested in Android but suggestions for other platforms are also welcome. And if you are using multiple platforms, what's your primary one?

It's fine to deadname any corporation. Corporations are not people.

In smartphones

  1. Replaceable batteries
  2. Headphone jack
  3. Software unlocked parts
  4. Root-able phones

In PCs

  1. No-RGB components that only prioritise performance
  2. No nonsense PC cases that are just a black box with awesome airflow
  3. GPUs that don't need a mortgage

I think they aren't billionaires precisely because they worked for the good of the internet/knowledge.

If they indeed became billionaires that would imply that how they conduct themselves had completely been altered along with their core beliefs.

Some people don't deserve kids. Come to think of it, a lot of people don't deserve them.

Don't forget that we have 8 hour workdays, weekends off, payed time off and other benefits all thanks to union efforts. All of them we take granted for. They were not granted because of the kindness of employers.

When films are adapted from books, more often than not, I tend to find the books a lot more enjoyable. So I have skipped watching a lot of films in the hope of reading the books later.

So what are some great films not adapted from books? Or what are some films that are significantly better than the book they were adapted from?

From 3:18, CNBC reports that taxes from oil is not enough to repair roads and general federal revenue provides funds. That means that everyone is subsidizing car usage.

If there were reduced car usage, infrastructure wouldn't have decayed at this rate. Ever increasing weight of trucks, SUVs other trending vehicle do nothing but accelerate this problem. This is another reason to tax vehicles by weight.
