Wrote this on my replacement cardboard desk topper at work a few months ago. Good stuff.

I understand what you're saying, but could also be literal wage theft, or also more abstractly, from the view of labor theory of value

They make stubby allen keys for tight spots. I replaced a cooling fan on a Mazak cnc lathe a few weeks ago, and I'm glad I had a set of stubbies.

I speak not as a normal member of the PoE community or a mod, but it is my understanding that moderators volunteer their time and energy to the communities they handle. Should reddit be making decisions that affect a moderator's ability to do what they need to efficiently and effectively, it is understandable that some may decide to shut down without consulting the users. You seem to be directing anger at the mods when your outrage should be directed more at reddit itself. PoE is but one of many subs that will be negatively impacted with the changes reddit will implement. A lot of information will be lost with people abandoning the platform for alternatives. It may be something you'll need to accept as users and moderators flee.

I know quite a few people this would surprise, because they refuse to exercise thought. They would have to process this information for surprise to take effect, and it is unlikely to occur as it would move much too quickly in one ear and out the other for adequate comprehension.

Didn't he unironically say this? Like he said it without a hint of irony?

A few 'hmm?'s oughta do the trick

Yes, I think the true blackout occurs after 3PAs shut down.

Dihydrogen monoxide, two hydrogen one oxygen

I try to approach everything as a learning opportunity. It's good to gain at least a little experience in everything you can. I think I'd rather someone else do this in the future, haha, but I can at least say I've done it myself before now.

I always liked the music written for the original Fable.

No, I'm not equivocating this with political responsibility. I'm neutral, not positive, on moderators making these sorts of decisions themselves, but I am presenting context as to why it is understandable they make that decision, and how your upsetedness seems misdirected. This isn't just about cost either. Many moderators and users don't only use 3p to skirt ads or avoid cost. It also provides ease of use and helpful tools, especially in instances of volunteering to moderate subs with "thousands".

I still need to build my board and games pieces...
