This makes loads more sense than anything else. Everything they've said has always been a little too on the nose trying to be '' ''woke'' '' (is double quoting a thing? Hopefully my meaning comes across as intended)

Yeah I find myself missing reddit when I'm bored too, I don't miss the 'community' at all. I much prefer here for that
Honestly this will probably be a good exercise for me to reduce my screen time, try to be more present, and try to be content with just being
I get a date day with my fiancée on saturday, which I’m really looking forward to cos it’s been so hectic lately
I’m glad you get to go home soon :)
100% this. My parents live in a red-ish county. They’re very liberal themselves but constantly go on about how lovely people are up there and how they’ll really help you when you need it
That’s all fine and dandy, but I’m sorry I can’t help but see them as people voting against my rights
Not the oldest I’ve read, but the oldest I’ve properly enjoyed is Jane Eyre (and it happens to be my fave of all time too)
Ooo nice nice, though I've heard the microtransactions are awful (gotta love Blizzard, eh?)
Patient gaming is the best - the bugs have (mostly) been fixed, DLC is available, and when you get stuck on something chances are there’s info online about it
That’s what I did and it’s been working. Haven’t accidentally (or intentionally) opened Apollo once since the black out started
Exactly. It’s a calculated move for sure, but they’ve built up enough of a mainstream base of newer people because they don’t know any different from the bullshitery that they’ve been fed
Yeah I joined in... 2013? When AMAs were already a thing, and like you said became a place for the same jokes and downvotes for innocuous comments. That's why I lurked for several years before commenting at all - and even then I got made fun of (and downvotes) for not getting a 'magnets, how do they even work?' meme
There were a few niche subreddits that I visited a lot and had actual good discussions / got to know people, but yeah it was otherwise just another place to consume content when bored
