This isn’t a logo. It’s a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.

I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.
That’s 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.
I honestly don’t think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.
Edit: more mind bogglery!
The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)
I love revisiting comments like these every 4 years.
Then why are they even still there?
Sunk cost fallacy or misplaced hope are other options outside of Napoleon complex.
Yep. I live in one of the “post salary or GTFO” states, and lead with that. Anyone who can’t respond with a straight answer isn’t worth dealing with and is told why.
I go through them every couple of days and have a text file with canned responses.
Likewise. It has generated several offers for me, but the vast majority of head hunters are playing spray-n-pray with keywords. For every good lead I get, I have to tell 400 people to fuck off.
Oh… you’re a SOX analyst? Want to work in a sock factory? Want to do the laundry for a minor league baseball team? Want to be in a fetish video?
Forgot one, deleteypants.
Please stand by your authoritarian views going forward.
Eh… It has its place (especially if dude is going to set me up like that), and can be ignored if it’s not your cup of tea.
Prurient banter has been a part of online forums since BBS message boards. It’s how most people I know communicate IRL and online: Bullshit, bullshit, nugget of wisdom, picture of cat.
Not everything needs to be THUPER THERIAL, but it can be (and has frequently been) overdone because a lot of people don’t realize that self-censorship is a hammer to be swung heavily.
Appreciate you taking the time to explain. That’s not really the vibe I caught, but I could be projecting.
I, too, am upset at how echo chambery reddit became, and the knee-jerk censorship the mods displayed. I had an account permanently and immediately banned from politics for “hate speech” because I said that DINOs Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin were date rapists for bending the Democratic party over against its will after taking them out to a nice dinner. Over the next few weeks, I was silently banned from about a dozen other subs.
Turns out that the person behind it all was the same “powermod” who threw a colossal tantrum after being banned herself just a couple of weeks ago.
I disagree with you about globally deplatforming “the bad guys,” because I don’t get to choose who they are, and one day - like above - that “bad guy” could end up being you.
Don’t like it, or can’t deal with it? Block them.
The insidious thing about algorithmically served content is that even if you don’t pay attention to it, it will slowly seep in to your mind, altering you slowly and steadily.
You see it/hear it for a microsecond and divert your attention dutifully, but your mind captured it, and processes it continuously. Because that’s what minds do.
So here you are, just scrolling through things. Minding your own business. And you didn’t even register it consciously.
And now you’re forever infected with a thought, concept you would have never arrived at on your own. A vision you would never have seen. A motive that never would’ve occurred.
And no matter what it was, you’re stuck with it forever because some asshole forced it into your head for a couple pennies.
It’s pure evil.
I’m honestly missing them. Would you mind pointing out a couple?
I think you’re misunderstanding me.
The mods and admins are willing stooges who enabled those I blame: Steve Huffman, and the companies that helped him neuter, remove, or paper over the parts of reddit that users built - transforming it into the shitheap they’re trying to parcel out to the market in an IPO.
The blame lies at the top of any shitheap. Always.
(But I have no love for stooges except for the original three.)
And the actual real life people who run reddit encouraged them, or ousted them for actual real life people who would do it.
The shitty people who enable shitty policy are shitty, but I try to focus on the fact that they’re just enablers.
Because we will never reach a billion users and exist for 200 years like yo momma.
This is too much ignorance to pick apart. Thanks for revealing yourself to save me time later, I guess
Proof of ownership and/or identity. It doesn’t need to hold more data than that.
Because they’re redundant.
Because they’re redundant
pretend to be a real person to sell product or spread misinformation
Fight fire with fire. That’s exactly why I left reddit.
You’re doing it right (for now). You could go to your profile and click your “subscribed” if you need to click, though.
There is no current equivalent to multireddits (for now).
Welcome to the frontier, pilgrim.
For the record, that’s an incredibly shitty argument.

There’s a better solution for legacy hardware on windoze, and you don’t know what it is.
Just admit it, or STFU.
