This is just the next logical step towards locking the NSFW communities behind a paywall. But, I don't think it's for the revenue, mostly. It's an essential step in tidying up their image and dealing with the regulations around internet censorship and linking real identities to users. They'll make way more money off of marketing to and marketing data of a fully identified userbase. They've already profiled them, linking those profiles to real people will just multiply the value of those profiles. Reddit is Facebooking themselves, selling out their users to turn community into a product. I guess since nobody google searches anymore, and Google did the same thing, we could also call it Googling themselves.

Add bread crumbs. Saved you a click.

No, that's economics not politics.

It's ironic that the conservatives pushing for this frame it as 'working class Americans paying off Ivy League debt', give then context of the current administration firing en mass federal employees with fucking masters degrees working for peanuts.

They keep trying to convince the poor and uneducated that the class war is between them and the college educated. The real class war is between those that have to work to live and those living off of everyone else's work.

Moreover, Biden's student debt relief wasn't even really a benefiting former students all that much since it was debt they largely couldn't pay off anyway (obviously), it was really a bailout to the banks issuing predatory loans to a captive market of young people without any money, assets, or any financial education, but with decades of their lives to toil away paying interest forever.

Do you want pink eye? Because that's how you get pink eye.

This is just one of the many reasons that the argument the right keeps repeating about all manner of privacy invasions and infringements of rights and due process that "the good ones have nothing to fear" is complete and utter bullshit.

Reading is about more than reciting facts and quoting sources. Sure, you can read, but you have utterly failed to comprehend the context or the article or the actual substance of my comments.

I understand that common names getting mixed use in families, genus, and species can be confusing, but you're being willfully obtuse here just to double down on useless pedantry.

Alligator is the common name for the family and also the common name of a few specific species. It's kind of like how all tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises. All caiman are alligators, but not all alligators are caimans.

You're not really making your own bread unless you grow and harvest the ingredients yourself. What do you mean you don't mill your own grains? Refine your own sugar?Can't really even call yourself a baker unless you build your own oven. /s

Cooking and baking are basically ALL prep work and cleanup. The actual cooking and baking is overall a pretty small fraction of the overall effort that goes into making dinner or a loaf of bread. Go ahead and feel proud of yourself if you take on more of those preparatory tasks, IF it makes for a better end result. But that doesn't mean you get to act superior to somebody else on a different path of their own personal cooking journey. Drawing an arbitrary line in the sand and saying "this is cooking, but that is not" is kind of like drawing a line between blue and indigo on a rainbow. It's arbitrary and adds little to good the discussion.

Go ahead and cheat on those components where it works. Not everybody has the time, space, energy, or skill to make every bread, sauce, or spice blend from scratch. If you can make something better by getting back to the basics and fundamental ingredients, go for it! But let's be honest when it's more about pride than the final product, enjoyment of the meal.

Personally, the biggest reason I prefer to avoid pre-prepared foods that only require heating is so that I can avoid certain common ingredients that are often pumped into those things in insane proportions, particularly salt and sugar. It's not so that I can feel proud of an arbitrary label.

In no other venue or event (except punk shows deliberately antagonizing literal Nazis) have I witnessed so many (very badly needed) Public Service Announcements for the fans to stop being such racist pricks.

You're a hypocrite with a whole lot of hate. I hope you get help.
