  • Good. As shitty as they’ve been and as hostile as they’ve become to their own users, I’d live little more than watching the entire damned things crash and burn. More (but still not very) likely though is them desperately selling off before it completely self destructs. Of course if they do sell it, whoever they sell to will likely either make things worse or just shutter it. Most likely they’ll stay the course and continue hemorrhaging usefulness and thus popularity.

    Any way you read the cards Reddit is in a tailspin that they seem unwilling to do what is necessary to pull out of. Which is to say, they’re too stubbornly idiotic to reverse their stupid, stupid changes and make a more open, user friendly, and community friendly platform. And I don’t see Spez being that smart.





  • As an American I’m sometimes caught off guard by European racism. Ethno-nationalism makes zero sense here - everyone’s an immigrant, except for the massively opressed indigenous Indians. I can see how it could make a kind of sense in a country that’s had one ethic group for centuries, but given his many wars and how much migration has happened over the last 1,000 years in Europe such attitudes can be dubious in places. Even still, it’s stupid, denying the humanity of people who are just trying to get by like everyone else.

    The way people are racist is somewhat different, sure to different cultures and histories. I wonder how much American racism y’all have imported; we have rather different histories with different ethnicities than y’all have. Even different parts of America have different kinds and degrees of racism from each other. It’s a big fucking country.

Mind ya I’m from Chicago where we have no shortage of actually good burger places with which even they can barely compete enough to squeeze into the suburbs. Again, I’d try one, but…
