Here’s the note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen

Reply in thread

Everyone's trying to kill reddit, but that isn't something we have the power to do. There is no offensive action we can take that will bring reddit down. I wish that idea would dissipate already.

What we can do, the only thing we can do, the sole action that is within our power, is to do nothing. Walk away, close that chapter, allow reddit to fade. As we have seen time and time again, reddit is perfectly capable of killing reddit; we have only to step back and watch it happen...

...without actually giving them traffic, of course.

The first flying car, 'Model A,' approved by the FAA and it's 100% electric

and bar are the trips that need fixing (...) and the fact that we encourage and sometimes even force designs where you NEED cars to make those trips is madness.

It's utterly baffling to me that bar culture is so alive in America where we have to drive everywhere. It seems like a fucking obvious problem that everyone just ignores. Under what circumstances is a person driving themselves to a bar, parking there for a while, then leaving unimpaired? People should be protesting this in the streets; why does no one seem to care?

What the hell is the point of a car that can't do more than 25 mph? This thing can fucking fly, but it's as capable as a golf cart on the ground?

I'll believe this when it actually exists (the thing they're promising, not a skeletal prototype), and I'll believe that the FAA is cool with flying cars when I see them on my commute. None of this currently passes the bullshit check.
