We should stop saying "The customer is always right" because it's not true
The whole saying is actually “The customer is always right, in matters of taste.”

Biden to announce $9 billion more in student debt relief

That’s not his job, that’s congress’s job. He can propose a bill, but wtf is the point when the house doesn’t even have a speaker and the current majority hasn’t brought a single bill to the floor for a vote.

STOP saying “fuck u/spez” START saying “FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN”

Also, firing spez does nothing because this wasn’t spez’s decision.
If you look at the history of Reddit’s API, it had a fee until spez became CEO again and made it free. This was when the 3PA took off.
Being the CEO does not mean that you get to actually make major decisions for the company. Think of the CEO as the face of the board of directors. They are the ones that approve/deny major changes.
You want the board changed, not spez.

Americans seem to support abortion access. Why do Republicans keep trying to block it anyway?
Reply in thread
My mom was one. Didn’t realize until I was older, and long after she died. But yeah, she only voted Republican because she was anti abortion. She had an abortion and suffered from unintended side effects and didn’t want other women to experience the same. I get where she was coming from, but she definitely had the wrong idea with banning abortion.
Oddly enough, it was a comment on Reddit that opened my eyes to everything. Something along the lines of “Dems don’t want women to have abortions. But we’d like the choice if need be.”

It’s common in non celebrity families as well. When someone dies it’s like everyone decides to be as shitty as possible to the ones who were closest to the deceased.
When my mom died her family broke into my house and took everything. My dad was left with nothing to remember her by. It was horrible. These were the same people who refused to talk to her for months prior to her death. Then they had the audacity to blame my father and I for her death. Like motherfuckers if you would have answered her calls at least once you’d know she was in severe physical pain when she died. It had nothing to do with us.
It’s not talked about a lot, but neuropathy kills all the time.

If divorce required 2party consent, how many people would have been killed? I know I would have, I finally left after my ex held a knife to my throat for saying hi to his mom.

Starfield Fan Banned From Subreddit For Narcing On Leaker To Cops
2 things.
It was stupid as fuck to brag about it and post your face on the internet. Wtf are you thinking? No common sense.
The snitch is a self righteous asshole. Jerking himself off for telling the police about this crime. Then he also gives his full name. Again no common sense.
Both guys are idiots. They deserve each other.

What do you swear by?
When it comes to food: Try everything once. You never know if you like it if you never try it.
I’m not talking get a whole plate of the food, but just try a small bite.

Freedom of speech is strictly to prevent the government from harassing you. It has nothing to do with private entities. This is why you can lose your job for saying racist shit, or be persecuted if you say something your college doesn’t like.

Hahahaha my parents “watched my clothing” so I either had extra clothes in my bag that I’d change into, or I’d wear them under a top layer of “approved” clothing and take it off later.

Uh so just an fyi, stretch marks alone aren’t an indicator of pregnancy. There are plenty of women out there that either don’t have stretch marks and have been pregnant, or do have stretch marks and have never been pregnant. I say this as someone who is pregnant with their 3rd child and doesn’t have stretch marks.

Advertising Lemmy on r/place
Reply in thread
Exactly. There are redditors planning on protesting on r/place. There are discords dedicated to it. Fediverse users should not participate. Especially those who left because of the recent changes. All we’ll do is boost Reddits numbers.

Theoretically, you could also tack it on at the beginning.
Or you could also, theoretically, tack it on in the middle of a sentence.

BotDefense is leaving Reddit
Reply in thread
These numbers have been thrown around since the beginning of the protest. I don’t believe Reddit actually publishes that data (someone can come and correct me if wrong).
I think what happened is someone did the math on downloads for all the 3PA (or maybe just just major ones) and compared it to active users.
Fact is, no one knows just how many users used 3PA vs the official app except for reddit. Me thinks because the data doesn’t look good for them, otherwise why not back up all that boasting with numbers.

Has the development stopped?
IIRC the devs said they were taking a break due to burnout a while ago.

It will. I’ve asked stupid questions on here, that I could have gone to Reddit to find the answers for, just to help out with content.
I still use Reddit for movie megathreads. There’s nowhere else on the internet that I’m able to do that yet. And I’d love to start megathreads here, but I’m not capable of handling such responsibility.
