There are no cake days, this isn’t Reddit. Don’t try to make it Reddit. Let it be it’s own thing.

In principle, these type of weapons are immoral even in war. We’re talking about things like mustard gas, chlorine gas, sarin gas. Nerve agents that are incredibly cruel and painful. They painfully, sometimes slowly, kill or incapacitate indiscriminately.
I think in practice warfare and weaponry have changed enough that the U.S. military feels it can wage war more effectively without these type of weapons.
This is some very ironic, animal farm energy here. The government has forgotten who gave them their power.
I’m coming here from kbin and see the link fine
Spez has been correctly advised that investors are going to be concerned with profitability, or at least a viable pathway to profitability.
There’s a huge startup bubble starting to burst. Companies reliant on cheap money to supplement a business model that at best is years away from profitability but in some cases decades or will never be profitable.
Uber and Doordash IPO’d when money was cheap and investors were fine with speculating on these disruptive, yet unprofitable, companies.
I work broadly in the VC funded start-up world. My observation is that money is running out. All of these companies are trying to commercialize, even if the product isn’t fully ready, because they have to show revenue and there has to be a path to profitability of that revenue. That’s the only way they’ll get more money.
In this context, Reddit is more like these startups. They’ve been funded by investors, including big ones like Condé Nast and Ten Cent, and they need more money, so they have to show a path to profitable revenue.
The IPO is going to be a shit show. I wouldn’t touch it with a 9 foot pole. Reddit has been notoriously unprofitable for its entire existence. Now there’s no more juice to squeeze and their backers want to pawn it off on retail investors.
I can understand the interest in watching the drama unfold. It’s like reality tv.
But you should also ask yourself, deep down, why do you care?
Reddit will never go back. It was going downhill long before the 3PA-crisis. Spez will never back down. Even if Spez gets fired it’ll be an Ellen Pao situation all over again. The new CEO will say nice things and then not undo anything Spez did.
At this point the most anyone left on Reddit can do is damage Reddit’s valuation. It’s retribution for destroying the community we all enjoyed.
The mods can do this by impacting what subs can be monetized. Users can do this by decreasing traffic. Even being on the site is traffic.
It’s funny you phrase it that way. I have a number of plants that I “bring in” for winter. It’s the same thing, just I view them less as “house plants” and more as “not winter hardy”.
I’ve got a few cacti, a jade plant, peace lily, and and orchid that all come inside for the winter time.
I used to have a lot more, but I pared them down. They took up a lot of space inside and it was just a lot of hassle to deal with.
I think an equal component to number of days you can go, is how long you can go each day.
That being said, I’d recommend the StrongLifts 5x5 program to begin with. It’s an A/B program, meaning in just two workouts you get a total body workout. There’s no reason you can’t use it 5 times a week. Week 1 would look like A/B/A/B/A and then Week 2 would be B/A/B/A/B and so fourth. I’d put the rest days after every B exercise.
The downside of this is StrongLifts does squats every day, so you’d be doing squats two days in a row.
It’s still a great beginner program. You may chose to only lift 3-4 times a week and throw in some very good cardio on additional days.
This program will probably take 1:15 the first few times you do it, but you should be able to get it down to an hour or less for each workout.
I use StrongLifts as a beginning program but also modified it over time. Now I’ve moved to PPL which is technically a 6-day a week program but you can just do 5 days a week and keep up the rotation the next week. It’s a longer workout. I’m lifting for at least 1:30, but usually 1:45 each time. It’s a lot more volume but the gains are large. I would start with PPL because it’s lot to jump into as a beginner.
I can see how that’d help, but I don’t think it’s practical in my case. I’m squatting around 240 off the rack.
Maybe it would help strengthen stabilizer muscles though.
Thanks for the suggestion. Will check it out.
For others before they click, the website doesn’t work in mobile so you’ll need to download an app for $1.99.
To the developer, I’d recommend maybe a free trial option, too. $1.99 isn’t a lot, but it’s enough of a barrier for me that I won’t download the game having no clue if I’d like it.

We made it to the New World. I wish them the best and hope they find us one day, but I’m burning my ships and starting a new life.
an old irishman shuffles into a bar at sundown with his eyes low and his head down
the bartender says “ay, billy! whats the matter. you seem troubled”
billy responds with "you see this bar we’re standing in. I built it with me own hands! but they don’t call me the bar builder, no!
and the bridge everyone uses to cross the river to get to the market, i built that that with me own hands too! but do the call me the bridge builder? no, they do not.
and the wall that protects our city, i built that with me own hands too! and they don’t call me the wall builder neither.
BUT YOU FUCK ONE GOAT!..
You know why. You’re just trying to be smug.
It’s fine if you don’t want a large television, but someone else isn’t CRAZY for making different choices.
It’d be nice to leave the toxicity on those other sites.
I think it’s generally best to just empathize and validate their feelings. My go to is “that sounds really frustrating” or just repeat back their feelings. I’d in their vent they say they are sad, repeat back “that seems like it would be sad”
Depending on you’re relationship with them, I think you can first validate, but then ask “what are you going to do” or “how are you going to handle it”
You can also ask “are you just wanting to vent or do you also want advice”
But unsolicited advice is rarely appreciated. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and everyone things everyone else’s stinks.
Trickledown wealth, yes, but the spirit of OPs question is “stuff”. “Stuff” does generally get cheaper over time.
I bought a 55” Plasma TV in 2008 for $2100. Last year I bout a 65” OLED for $1600. Much better picture, much thinner/lighter, much lower power consumption and heat generation.
This is the spirit of OPs question.
Agree, OPs experience sucks and it’s good perspective but YSK should be focused on facts.
