Sometimes I'll listen in on police radios and you will hear officers sigh like, "Damn, not this shit again" cause they recognize the address they are being sent to for a call and remember the guy from just a few prior meetings.

And now these cops are being sent to the same couple over 40 times and are like, "Oh ummm gee, I wonder who these people could be".

I honestly think the real reason is that most of these cops want these calls to be true, because they get sold on the idea that being a cop is cool and about fighting crime when 90% of the job is super boring.

The worst part of the redesign is how slow it feels. I also noticed how cluttered everything looks on the redesign. The buttons below the titles are unnecessarily big. The multicolored flairs are very distracting. Some flairs are basically an entire sentence long, others have emojis. It makes reading the post titles extremely difficult.

I just use an old laptop as my main computer. Now I have a reason to keep it if I ever upgrade.

I believe another part of it is that companies that get venture capital money are also encouraged to hire more employees, because VC's care about growth.

If you are a company relying on the support of venture capital and you aren't hiring people to grow the fastest, then the VC might decide to just fund your competitor instead.

Yeah, but then you get to have a cool catchphrase like, "Eat shit and fly".

I hate how normal large vehicles like trucks and SUVs have become here in the US. Especially because 90% of people who buy them don't actually need them. I see so many big stupid vehicles all over the place with a single person just going to the grocery store.

The left side of the plate looks like beef stew. I'd probably look like an idiot sitting there staring at the plate for an hour because I wouldn't want to break it and mess it all up.

The crust looks amazing. Did you cook it on a pizza stone or steel?

Also, what is the white stuff on the top? 🤨

Reddit in particular has very little besides it's massive numbers to actually keep users on their platform. I don't use Twitter or Facebook anymore, but at least with those platforms there would be specific celebrity accounts or friends and family that would provide a reason to stay.

Because reddit was so focused on anonymity, you didn't need the "celebrity" accounts to move platforms to make the alternatives feel viable. Even with just a small portion of users moving here it feels completely natural.
