Right? Depending on the shape of the toilet I find it more frustrating when my balls touch the water or the tip touches the inside of the bowl.

Not shaming OP, but I have to assume maybe their penis is on the…short side and doesn’t hang down at all. I’m not packing any excess length by any means, but In order for me to pee on the floor if I’m sitting down, my dick would have to be laying on the toilet seat.

I don’t think this article is really “pro reddit” tbh. The headline says Reddit won, but the copy adds context to that. Reddit was always going to outlast the protests. I can’t imagine anyone was delusional enough to think otherwise. But like the article says, Huffman lost most of the other gambles in terms of post quality, public opinion, and there’s still 1800+ subs of varying sizes dark.

Short term ad traffic is the win he needs on paper, but the press hasn’t been favorable overall and user engagement is high if you consider edgy teenagers making the front page with nonsense because all the decent mods have quit as consistent engagement.

Same. And I don’t like to admit it, but I was a “power user”. When Bacon Reader went dark, I never went back. Like others have pointed out, Reddit was always going to “win” the protest, even with over 1800 subs still out. But the platform’s frontpage quality is in the tank. Google doesn’t want to list Reddit at the top of search results anymore. The corporate failure to retain money making accounts made national news. Huffman completely missed the investment boat, and although the site itself is still generating traffic, the raised interest rates and lack of ROI for the unpopular changes spells out nothing but a slow death rattle.

And, lmao, anyone that publicly announces they’re following the “Musk Model” for social media platform leadership is clearly a fucking dipshit doomed to drive their site into the ground.

“Regular” shower, boss. I’m not talking about extracurricular showers. The other commenters were amazed that anyone ever takes a less than 15 shower. Which is ridiculous that their bar for a normal shower is that long.

Seriously! A regular shower for me takes around five minutes. With a face shave, it’s still less than ten. Wtf else is there to do? Standing there staring at the wall?

Aha lol. Well, that clears that up. Guess I wasn’t seeing things when it looked like My Little Pony was My Little Penis.

Love the Bluey advert. Disturbed it’s beside galactic space dicks or whatever that is lol.

People that keep making this dumbass “engagement” claim have no goddamn idea what they’re talking about. Nobody is falling for jack shit. The “engagement” of people going on to place to troll is miniscule. Like you said, half of us aren’t looking at this on Reddit. It’s being broadcast everywhere else and the tech outlets that an investor will see are reading about how much the user base fucking hates the product.

People in the Reddit top decided that they would run places again off-schedule. Best guess is someone thought that it would be good marketing for the coming IPO to show that Reddit is still functional with lively communities.

Any idiot could have seen what would actually happen coming a mile away. The only people who participated in r/place before are people who are now completely anti-reddit at the most and royally pissed at the admins at the least.

Exactly. LinkedIn jobs is incredibly useful. I have also found it useful for helping friends and colleagues find new jobs or make career switches because of the connections I have. I only maintain work connections through LinkedIn as I don’t use Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Absolutely, ignore the post feed. It’s just capitalist boot fucking. A bunch of fucking losers with made up bullshit in their titles trying to be leadership influencers.

I sincerely vouch for the jobs function, though.

Yep. OP is a mega douchenozzle but sorting by new does in fact show a lot of porn. I simply have anything marked as nsfw not show the thumbnail. Problem solved.

Yep, airport for sure. I used to get sick everytime I flew. Not anymore and in hindsight it seems stupid that I never masked at the airport before. And doctor’s office if it’s my primary care or urgent care. Not much of a need for a mask at the dermatologist. Basically if I’m somewhere there’s a fuck load of contagious people.

Recently though, the air quality has been so bad from the wild fires up north that I’ve worn a mask while out. I came home one day from coughing like crazy and my throat was sore. I thought I was getting sick until I put two and two together about the thick haze of wildfire smog. Masked up until the AQI went back down and saved myself some discomfort.

Agreed and I’m a rural American who lives in a proverbial transit desert. Surrounded by multiple major cities with fully integrated public transit, so this whole idea behind “oh once the cities get it so will the rural areas” is total bullshit. Hell, I even live on a commuter train line and the fucking thing doesn’t run on the weekends and only goes north to south, it doesn’t connect to any major urban center to the east. So, if you have to work that way, you have to drive. There’s no bus, no tram, no train, only massive stretches of interstates. Our state got a massive transportation grant and instead of begging the state to bring the commuter line to at least the next city over, the county had them build fucking park and rides - just giant parking lots in the middle of nowhere where you can, in theory, catch a bus that will take twice as long to get you to your destination than driving.

I’ve attended the state’s annual transportation public meetings every year for the last six years. They send a delegation to each county to discuss budgets and county needs. Every year. Every goddamn year our county begs the state to increase the commuter rail availability and every year they lie and say they’re working on a plan then turn around and expand the highways and try to sell the local political apparatus on fucking toll roads.

Agreed, and not only that but holy fuck we just broke up a week ago. I was in a relationship with that bitch for 12 years, I don’t need my homies over here telling me it’s time to forget about it lol

Wild, what sub? I said worse than that almost every day for years on reddit and never even caught a temp ban from an individual sub.

Totally agree. Mega threads are great, especially in smaller communities where posting the same question or article over and over clogs everything up. Even more relevant with a small community that suddenly found it’s subject matter in the news and now every asshole is spam posting trying to farm engagement.

Yep. That was the organization exodus for my last job. Without any warning or planning, a state government agency, demanded everyone come back first week June 2021 when not a single other state office was even considering it. It was way out of left field and threatened to completely fuck up many people’s lives and there was a mass exodus. Staff left agency wide. I think it was somewhere around 300 employees of a several thousand. Which may not seem like that much, but when 300 people quit in one agency over the course of two weeks, it’s extremely noticable lol. The leadership at the top got berated publicly by the governor and they had to reverse course to stop people from leaving. But hey, I got a promotion, a huge raise, and got to demand my telework schedule because I instantly became more important hahaha.

The next exodus was my specific division. The deputy director we all liked and the media relations manager we all liked were fired out of nowhere by the same agency leadership that fucked up in the telework debacle. They placed their own drones in the two spots and it absolutely decimated morale. Not to mention the stool pigeons they selected are two of the most incompetent people I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. I took a high-paying job with a federal contractor and bounced. Four people left in the few months following. They hired new people, two of which left within three months. I still talk to the social media manager who’s still there and she fills me in on all the bullshit they’re continuing with. Out of a public affairs division of 14 people, there’s only six still there that were there when I left last September.

Look up whathowwhy on YouTube. He’s a dude from the UK who puts stuff into epoxy. A few years a go he put a hotdog into a cube of epoxy and would do periodic video updates on the hotdog. One year I actually watched the New Years Eve livestream of the hotdog slowly spinning on a dias. He’d put a little party hat on it and the live chat was absolutely hilarious.

Make it five. I nuked 12, 8, and 5 year old accounts. In all three I had comments that used to be linked in Google search results. I put up with a lot from Reddit admin over the years, but it just simply wasn’t worth it anymore, and fuck them, they’re not gonna reap the benefits from Google traffic on my old accounts. I scrubbed and deleted my Twitter account a couple days ago as well. I’m sick and tired of these rich, stupid clownshoes ruining everything. This fediverse stuff is legit. I’m genuinely invested in seeing decentralized social media succeed.

Sure, Reddit and Twitter aren’t going to collapse because some power users killed their accounts, but Lemmy and Mastadon can grow and show that what they’re doing works if myself and others are making an effort to participate.

Ya. That is a large part (not the only reason) of why Huffman gambled and lost on killing 3rd party apps. People using Apollo, or any other app that wasn’t the trash official app, weren’t getting ads at all or were giving their ad dollars to a third party. By killing third party apps, that forces anyone who actually wants to use Reddit to use the official suck ass app or the garbage desktop site which also had alt options that used the API. When users are funneled into only using official Reddit products, that means they’re only consuming ads that Reddit makes a profit from.

I used Bacon Reader for almost ten years. It didn’t have ads for half a decade and when ads did come, it was a non intrusive banner ad at the bottom. The Reddit app is riddled with obstructive ads. So is the website unless using an ad blocker. Reddit when used the way the admins want, is just one ass blast of shitty ads.
