Why?

It's a leftover from reddit. A comment would be marked as "edited" if you changed anything after posting it, and since some people are shitheads and change their comments to say completely different things after people have already replied to them it's just a way to inform people that the edit you made to your comment was just to fix typos and not anything significant

To me, my X-rule!

Stan Lee even said himself that he created the X-Men as a statement about bigotry and how everyone, no matter how different than you, has good in them. It's straight up an anti-discrimination metaphor. It doesn't get much more woke than that.

Piracy as a quality of service issue

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable."

Uncanny Valley

The humanoids we evolved from were at one point, not the only humanoids around. We coexisted with other, different species (neanderthals being an example). Homosapien is just the one that survived.

Potential subbr(ule)ddit reopening

The subs that closed in protest should stay closed until reddit reverses their decisions. If that's never, then so be it. When workers go on strike, they don't stop until a deal has been made, why should this be any different. Have some fucking integrity.

You better stop slacking

The implication is not that it doesn't pay well, it's that it's dangerous and very hard on your body. Work as a construction worker till your 50 (if you don't die in an accident before then) and your body will hate you for it
