PPP loans (Edit: stimulus checks totaled a little over $800 billion)

I agree with this in principle, in the sense that it's frustrating that people who complain endlessly about the stimulus checks seem to think the PPP loans were a necessity, and that's rank hypocrisy. But the phrasing of this statement is bullshit. The PPP loans totaled a little under $800 billion, while the stimulus checks totaled a little over $800 billion. So it was a lot more than "a few $600 checks".

‘John Wick’ Director on How His Henry Cavill ‘Highlander’ Reboot Will Feel Like Prequel

Reply in thread

I'd say it's less Cavill specifically and more the entire mood of a "Superman" story. Superman is basically entirely about the hopeful motivation of the human spirit. He's an avatar for humanity though he's not even human. He's the best of us without even being one of us. To me it can be boiled down to one moment, the moment where Jonathan Kent talked his own son out of being the best he could be in favor of selfishly keeping a secret.

AITA -

No, I guess you're not an asshole, but I can't argue against this having been a terrible plan. I would like to ask though, is the 3 month notice period yours or your employers? Because if it's theirs, I can't imagine that's legally enforceable in the US.

Reddit CEO calls unpaid moderators' concerns "noise" - time to send a message he won't forget.

Then you're never going back. It's absurd to think that Reddit should just let 3rd Party apps have access to its API for free indefinitely. You wanna argue that the price should be sensible? Fine. You wanna argue that the way Reddit has rolled this out is reprehensible? Fine. But to argue that they HAVE to keep giving it away for free? Forever? That's just a ridiculous thing to expect.
