I have to agree - this is classic reddit. Spez obviously couldn’t care less about namecalling.

  • The corp gets to use the CEO as a punching bag - which is pretty much his job description…

  • Redditors can feel good about upvoting a picture “sticking it to the man” while actually doing nothing - participating on a site that’s still reaming them

  • Buying all the reddit awards for the post, GIVING THE COMPANY THEY’RE SUPPOSEDLY STICKING IT TO MORE MONEY. Bullshit like this pisses me off after finding out the Lemmy devs pretty much make less than minimum wage with donations

What changed is he started becoming more public. He’s always been a shithead. There were mentions of him abusing his employees back when I was in grad school in 2012. People on the internet just fell for his mythos and just kept ignoring signs to the contrary until he just…kept…talking… and couldn’t be ignored anymore.

I feel for the people of Huntsville. It really sounds like they got fucked because their last name. But ultimately, you won’t attract talent from other places in the US if you tell them they’re going to be working in Alabama. This is just the consequence of their politicians and the folks to voted for them.

So… “fun” fact since I was following that shitshow at the time. When r/T_D got booted off reddit, they congregated to a site called thedonald[dot]win. That site later got renamed to patriots[dot]win. They were very much hyping up Jan6th in the days leading up to it and were absolutely looking forward to getting violent.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say reddit’s tolerance towards T_D was one of the root-causes towards what happened in J6th.

Easy - Godzilla 1998. 28% audience score just goes to show the public has no taste

It’s to prevent normalization. If you keep it in the news, then people will remember it when election time comes around.

I know it’s hip to call Biden a 90’s R because he didn’t pass every policy the left wants with a slim majority, but do you even know what a 90’s Republican is / stood for? Because that’s when the party turned to Newt and I don’t see him doing ANYTHING close to that.

The use of lead alloys in telecom cables started in the 1880s and the industry began to phase out placement of new lead-sheathed cables in the 1950s after developing a new type of sheathing," the trade group’s website said. “Some of these cables still provide customer voice and data services, including connecting 911 service, fire alarms, and other central monitoring stations.”

Sounds about right. So they did stop using it when the negative effects of lead started being more well-known. You know what happens when they try to remove that cable in favor of fiber? You get people who whine that the telcos are getting rid of landline copper connections.
