Paywall…
It’s about Pennsylvania Ave, DC
My boomer mom is all up in her suburban town councils business because she’s afraid there is going to be a “marijuana shop” that goes in across the highway from her neighborhood in the strip mall that’s being developed.
Anti-drug propaganda really did a number on that generation
Considering giving to any church 501©(3) themselves are considered “charitable donations” when it comes to taxes, this rings a little hollow. If you consider a church as a charity itself, and those churches are soliciting donations every week in services, of course you’re going to see higher charitable giving from areas with a lot of churches/religious. That said, my gripe is not with religious based charities, it’s with churches. Salvation Army can continue to do what it does, religious affiliated childrens hospitals, etc. The amount of money that is spent on congregations is just a waste and it’s a shame.

So do secular charities.
Just imagine what could have been done in the last 300 years if every dollar that was donated to churches went to some other cause, or back into the pockets of the masses. There is an immense amount of wealth that is trapped in the collective real estate, bank accounts, etc owned by churches. I’m not even talking about megachurches or the mormon’s giant stack of cash, just mom’n’pop little parishes that are everywhere across the US.
If ALL that money was still kicking around in the economy and in the pockets of people to spend on real things, building real businesses, etc…we’d be way better off.
Always makes me sad when I visit my in-laws who live in a particularly bible thumpy area and you go and there are spots there where churches outnumber normal businesses. It seems like it’s just a huge drain on the local economy devoting that much money into propping up churches of various kinds…
It’s…perfect. So beautiful.
Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it’s actually fine in there and they don’t need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.
Not while browsing on “All”, but this is easily remedied by maintaining a subscription list and browsing on “Subscribed”. Typically, porn is limited to specific communities which can just be not added to your subscription list.
Some time in the distant future, the dried husk of reddit integrates with the fediverse… And no one even notices.
Yeah, that was a necessity for browsing in private mode for…reasons.
Fwiw, if you are still going to reddit for those…reasons, bing video search with safe search off is really very good and free of spam pop-ups and has a good integrated video player (at least with a decent ad block turned on).

You also have to be logged in, in order to automatically use old.reddit.com (without an extension to auto-route links back to it, at least). I know because when I used reddit in…erm, private mode, it would always route me to the new, awful ui which didn’t support RES.
Samesies. Very random. Also on hot are things that I would consider new.
People with clunkers driving around with dents and scratches without fixing them up.
They’re just advertising that they aren’t very good at driving and you should avoid being near them or parking next to them.
Be the change you want to be in the world.
After reading this I’m thinking a kilt would work for me…
This comment is not like the others, lol.
Good on your manager.
Same here. If any of my friends correctly identify my username as me, my annual account reset puts them back to square one…not that my accounts were anything but completely tame.
Also nice username!
Yeah, Reddit isn’t going anywhere; but we are seemingly getting a viable alternative. Before, there wasn’t really a viable alternative, which is why Reddit was comfortable making the moves it has, I think.
I think that’s wildly optimistic that it would be that high. Most of reddit is lurkers and a large number of people who are using 3rd party apps were still using it anyways.
