I have a maxed ironman I've played since 2015, and my original account was made way back in 2004. I didn't play non-stop, but I was there for 2004-2010 for original RuneScape, and 2015-2022ish for OSRS. I say this to establish that I'm a longtime player that loves the game, and it's been a very special part of my life growing up.

Having said that, Sailing was the deal breaker for me. When it passed the polls I stopped playing and haven't been back since. I'm a bit sad at times, because I miss the old RuneScape, but that ship set sail (heh) years ago. IMO capitalism has destroyed the essence of what made RuneScape special, and the only way we will see that golden age return is if RuneScape goes open source.

I agree with this. It's cash. If I handed it in and the police called and told me they found the rightful owner I'm not sure I'd even believe them. Let the girl keep it!

Yup, members of the Heritage Foundation have talked about making massive camp systems in Canada. I imagine it would be largely for Canadians and deported Americans and migrants.

She didn't do anything wrong; but regardless, if you're going to scale the wall to go into the lion's den at the zoo definitely don't announce it to them via megaphone first.

The Nazis didn't have a vast historical record that illustrates the dangers of dehumanizing and imprisoning groups of peoples, and violently smashing protests for fascism; what excuse do these American cops and ICE agents have? I have to conclude that those who participate want this.

Should we be held to higher ethical standards than the Germans of the past? We have a greater awareness of past atrocities and a deeper understanding of their consequences, and contemporary societies are expected to adhere to more stringent ethical guidelines and uphold human rights

Peacefully disobeying the law is not a good idea under fascism. This was a brave, albeit really stupid, thing to do. I hope this woman makes it out okay.

I like the style of that crying face emoji; anyone know where I can find the pack?

I moved into a tiny home and got one for measuring the current draw of my kitchen appliances and keeping track of the cost of my electric space heater ($40/month so far, yeesh)

Reddit is definitely not the final evolution of the internet board. It goes without saying that we can do better. And when a better iteration comes along nobody will even need to ask the Reddit users to switch as theyll naturally migrate like we always have. And then eventually that thing will be decrowned for something better too
