They’ve had this for a while. The cheat code is to change the url to old reddit.

I believe it’s a reference to the problems caused by the fucked up abortion laws going on recently, not about payment (though that’s its own concern). From a quick search:

One woman miscarried in the restroom lobby of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her to the hospital.

Another related issue is that rural areas, especially in right wing hellholes that have passed such laws, are increasingly short on access to obestrician services and doctors of that specialty. Some people who used to live 40 miles from the nearest hospital with Ob/Gyn now live 100 miles away and lack transportation.

I feel like this got misinterpreted? If I’m not mistaken OP’s point is that reddit is intentionally censoring pro-Palestinian posts and controversy, not that the front page is now more quality.

their early stuff reminds me of the cure, which is (!!??)

I never got into With Sympathy, but everything from Twitch through ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ was great. I’m surprised how many releases they’ve had since then, but mainly my personal tastes shifted.

The king of side projects is Justin Broadrick. It’s almost impossible to quantify.

I highly doubt most of the protestors have anything to do with being funded by outside groups, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the dissent has been sponsored by foreign propaganda/influence efforts. Russia definitely wants Trump to be elected over Biden, and also will do anything they can to cause division here.

Seems pretty unlikely they’d be the only country involved.

I’ve been using reddit since 2008 and the idea of any conservative bullshit on there would have been really surprising before 2015. Overall though the amount of generic person stupidity has increased in the past few years. Not that all sports fans are like this, but often i get the stupidest reply from someone - like, close minded, blithely cruel about whatever topic - and look at their profile and the ONLY other thing they’ve commented on is sports.

It’s taken me years and reading the explanations a dozen times to figure out what anyone involved even thought it was about.

No, the conclusion would be that they’re replying to me. However I’m quite certain Americans like that exist as well.

Sure, I get that. The whole thing is that they imitate legitimate accounts.

Since the excerpt here is cut off,

In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the former president said he would accept the results of the November election showing he lost “if everything’s honest.”

“If everything’s honest, I’d gladly accept the results,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday. "If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.

“But if everything’s honest, which we anticipate it will be — a lot of changes have been made over the last few years — but if everything’s honest, I will absolutely accept the results,” he said.

So in trump terms, honest = he wins, dishonest means he didn’t.

Yeah, it’s exactly what he said last time.

He’d be disappointed if he found out they hadn’t cheated.

Ah, so just enslave children.

Yep, physical and sexual abuse is part-and-parcel of slavery.

It did explain it, I thought. Pause ads:

the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it

zeppo, 13 days ago

Of course it disappears when you start playing the video again. Some video sites already have had ads like this for a few years.

Taking his public statements at face value sure is not “fearmongering”. This deranged grandpa is often cited for “telling it like it is!!” so why would we not believe he means specifically what he says?

Russia being a threat to Europe isn’t exactly surprising considering that threat is the entire reason NATO exists.
