A made the mistake of watching YouTube on my TV a few weeks back, without an ad blocker. I was getting 1-3 15 second ads every 2-3 minutes!

Dolly would never become a billionaire, she'd give away that money to help people lomg before.

Here in Australia, during the 80's, 90's before widespread internet. There would be several European's who needed rescuing each year as they decided to try and walk between major cities, because it looks close on a map.

I remember one German guy who needed rescuing while trying to walk from Sydney to Adelaide...that's 1200km away...in a straight line.

Similar to twitter.

If I go to twitter mainpage I can't see anything without logging in.

If I go direct to a profile I see can't see anything without logging and;

If I go to a specific post, I can read the initial post but nothing else.

That's what I expect will happen to Reddit

I suspect you're correct, although I doubt removing old.reddit will cause much of a stir.

Notice how Reddit is releasing 1 shitty update every few weeks rather than all at once? By the time one shit update is released the vast majority of users have forgotten the previous one. Remember the API change? I reckon most of Reddits existing users don't anymore. I suspect old.reddit will go the same way.

I'll bet cash that it's only a short matter of time before old.reddit is shutdown and within 6 months of that happening Reddit access will be locked behind account login.

There's a cafe near me that's open 24/7. I've been in there a couple of times and the coffee is horrible, the last time I visited the guy behind the counter didn't know how to turn on the espresso machine and had to call his boss.

But I'm 100% certain all those people turning up at 1am are just getting a caffeine hit before heading to the clubs

Haha nah

There's a word filter so I was only seeing "Removed" in place of the actual word. Confused the shit out of me. Now it all makes sense

Oooooooooooh shit that makes sense now hahahahahaha.

I didn't even know there was a word filter!

I'm sitting here all confused thinking "Removed" was the actual word not what is being displayed here

Is this a localised to the US thing? Here in Aus I've never heard removed being used as either an insult or linked to someone with a developmental disability. What context is it used in for a developmental disability?
