It’s a parody of an 70s-80s sitcom intro such as full house or Brady bunch. It goes on for longer than you think, continually playing the theme song as more characters are introduced and slowly the whole thing devolves into surrealism.
Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…
This is it. Reddit will keep pulling dumb shit that drives users away and hurts engagement for short term profits. Having viable and stable alternatives gives people a place to go so they don’t feel trapped.
Got into 40K last month and jumped right into Horus Heresy series using that handy reading order chart, wanted to get to Thousand Sons as fast as possible so I could learn about my army and read about the nothing Magnus allegedly did wrong....
The best novel line IMO is The First Heretic, Know No Fear, Betrayer, and Unremembered Empire. They all kinda share the same plot thread even if it’s from different perspectives and honestly are probably the best novels in the entire series.
So the Space Marine Combat Patrol comes with a Terminator Captain and a Terminator Librarian. Do I understand this correctly, that one of them has to be deployed without a bodyguard unit when you want to play Combat Patrol with the standard Space Marines?
Just got into 40K last month, trying to get a Mutalith Vortex Beast. Was gonna get one after my current batch was built and painted (and it is!) but in that time 10th dropped and made MVB meta, so there they all went....
Very rarely. Low volume kits can go years between reprints, the opportunity cost of finding the molds and swapping out the lastest space marine isn’t worth it. Unless they do something like release the Slaughterbrute for World Eaters your best bet is shopping online or putting a request into a few stores to see if a warehouse shakes one loose.
Well, their production has only increased a bit while their catalogue has increased by an order of magnitude. Multiple entirely new armies, with a complete refresh of factions and models in the fantasy/40k line. The vortex beast is 11 years old, who knows what condition the mold itself is still in?
Get a Japanese washcloth, you animals. It’s like a loofah that’s been unraveled into a single rough cloth. A bit of body wash or even a bar of soap folded into it and you can hold the ends and scrub your body and back. Gets off all the dead skin and sweat, it’s great.
Hard to tell at this point, this is extrapolated speculation and shouldn’t be taken as statements of fact.
Musk has a policy of fucking around with other people’s money and not paying his debts. That works with companies smaller than him, but when Google is hosting a significant amount of Twitter infrastructure they can absolutely pull the plug.
Twitter is suddenly unable to function at the current volume of traffic. They limit access to only logged in users. They fired all their competent engineers so they import a hack job that seems to be CONSTANTLY checking if users are logged in. So much that the website is DDOSing itself from the attempts.
Elon, ever the moronic silver spoon man baby, puts in a nonsense policy of “tiered access” where you can only see a certain amount of tweets per day? Advertisers are obviously pissed off because that’s directly cutting their reach and access.
That’s a recent quote from Reddit’s VP of community, Laura Nestler. Here’s more of it: This week, Reddit has been telling protesting moderators that if they keep their communities private, the company will take action against them. Any actions could happen as soon as this afternoon.
Digg still exists even if it's a shell of its former self. Tumbler imploded and moved to Twitter, which is trying its damnedest to destroy itself too. They don't disappear, they just slowly become irrelevant.
Reddit will still exist, but the content will continue to dry out. Sanitized for advertising and low effort for consumption. The thousands of small self contained communities that really drove the site will slowly die off. Subs that relied on outside moderating tools to ensure quality content will give up and move on.
As small hobby subs find new places to take residence I would absolutely believe reddit will become less relevant.

Is there any evidence that Reddit has suffered at all from the exodus to Lemmy?
