Anon watches LOTR
One thing LotR does very well: lets men show emotions that aren't anger. Frodo smiles, shouts Gandalf's name excitedly, cracks a joke with him, and gives him a hug. That's how you know they're old friends.

Reddit’s new Contributor Program will let you cash out gold given to your posts by other users in real money.
Oh good. Now they're literally paying the karma-farming bots to spam recycled and stolen content. That will surely end well.

Don't even need a new game. You could clone pokemon by turning the game off mid-trade. My school had a kid that got a Mew from an event, then cloned it for everyone who wanted one.

Nightclubs on the brink as clean-living Gen Zs ditch scene
The new attitude, coupled with a cost of living crisis that leaves many younger generations unable to afford a party lifestyle, is having a knock-on effect on the nighttime economy.
Title is blatantly misleading. Gen Z wants to party as much as their predecessors did, they literally just don't have the money to do so.

Unity May Never Win Back the Developers It Lost in Its Fee Debacle
There's also the matter of future developers to consider. I'm in the process of looking at game engines to learn, and Unity has decisively crossed itself off the list. Even if current studios and developers stick with Unity, startups and novices would be foolish to pick a game engine that might suddenly decide to charge them out the ass with little to no notice. Existing developers have the issue where they already have tools and experience with Unity, but newer folks don't.

The problem is that red light cameras incentivizes cities to encourage dangerous driving, because it is now a revenue source. Multiple cities have been caught illegally shortening yellow lights because shorter yellow lights cause more red light violations, yielding more money for the city and also increasing the rate of accidents at those intersections.

If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen?

You forgot the part where millions of people still write in Donald Trump based on the widespread conspiracy that he's still alive, and we get to figure out what happens when a state tries to elect a dead man.

Not to defend Trump in the slightest, but it was my understanding that the President isn't actually required to release his taxes; it's just a tradition that literally every other presidential candidate has conformed to. You know, to show that they're trustworthy, which is why Trump never released his.

Also doesn't sound like something Jesus would say
It is literally something he said, after specifically being asked about paying taxes.

If they're struggling, then maybe they should pick up a second job, maybe cancel some of those subscription services?

Mmmm bread.
Man... even being as generous as possible, it's still an incredibly stupid point. "Renewable" doesn't mean "infinite". If something can only be renewed a finite number of times, or even once, then it's still renewable.

The term is "intersectionality". Conservatives really hated the term before they went all popeyed over "woke".

If I had to guess, there are too many users who would become appointed as moderators, then just shut down the subreddit again. The admins need time to filter through the applications to find the genuine bootlickers.

ELI5: If you're a Christian, why do you have to be good if Jesus will forgive you no matter what?
The theological answer, as I learned it, is most clearly spelled out in James 2:14-26, often referenced through the phrase "faith without works is dead". The short version is: faith in Jesus will save you, not good deeds. However, if you have faith in Jesus, then that faith will manifest itself through good deeds. If someone proclaims their faith but doesn't act lovingly, then they don't actually have faith and won't be saved. So a Christian should be a good person not because being good will save them, but because being good is a result of genuine faith.
