😵‍💫 YOU ARE HELPLESS TO RESIST A GAY OLD TIME 😵‍💫

MKULTRA was the result of Allen Dulles’s hypno kink.

i fundamentally agree with you. i think it depends on how loosely you define ‘direct’. class struggle has its fingers in many pies including

• marketing saturation / materialism
• mental health availability
• quality of education
• overall day-to-day stress levels

all of which are at odds with encouraging a more empathetic, happy, and healthy population of men. people who are angry and fearful and deprived are easier to control and sell products to than people who are kind and understanding and satisfied. a higher quality of life breeds a higher quality of people and interpersonal interactions.

you mean crosswalks don’t usually end diagonally in the middle of the street?

there is only one truth, and it is that there is no gender war, only misdirection from class warfare that has monetized and monopolized even our interpersonal, romantic, and sexual connection.

when people don’t have problems, you can’t sell them solutions.

i really don’t want old friends or distant family finding me though

sure would be weird if the attorney general in control of the US prison system had connections through his own father to Epstein, right?

all that star citizen has ever promised

to add to this, a lot of what was sold as ecstasy (at least back in my day) contained little to no mdma at all and was typically just a cheap upper of some sort. originally ecstasy was close to 1:1 slang for pressed mdma pills but over time it became more attached to the pills and less to the molly specifically (mostly for marketing purposes).

of course you can crush x and snort it but at that point it would probably be more accurate to refer to it as molly or speed depending on what’s actually in it.

“Experts project that homosexual marriage is the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy that could doom even the strongest republic.”

"project" is right!

it's both: https://adblockplus.org/en/about#monetization

sold out like 12 friggin years ago too. it's not like it's recent news.

it can't really be evaluated in a vacuum. the front page moves so much more slowly that maybe it's the same number of bots concentrated on a smaller number of posts, i dunno. i just know that it's inescapable on popular posts and the bots have hardly needed to adapt because reddit corp doesn't give a fuck.

yes it's always easier to NOT fuck up a fully functional product and drive your userbase off a cliff, but that's not good enough for the huge IPO that huffman is courting. he wants to be able to say "look, we're monetizing 80% more MAUs than before and earning 45% more per person".

frankly i doubt they'll be able to go public at all at this rate. if i were the Newhouses (reddit's owners through Advance Publications) i would certainly be looking for someone to unload this hot potato onto.

this is not an opinion that should be shared by anyone who has opened a frontpage comment section in the last 3 months. bot spam has only gotten significantly worse since july.

the API changes had no effect on bot accounts, anyway. reddit corp specifically made an exception for them and other "low volume" API users - which is why you can still use your own API key to activate defunct 3rd party apps.

(yes, the implication is that normal users can go to hell if they don't want to use the app - but by imitating a bot, reddit gives you preferential treatment. they want bots juicing their activity metrics.)

my guess is that subredditstats.com is itself impacted by the API changes, or this is a consequence of frontpage posts cycling MUCH more slowly than they did before the protests. fewer individual posts reaching r/all means less traffic and fewer comments as a result.
