Have a GOP family member.

I said, “immigrants pick our food. Do you want that job?”

His response? (55 year old fat man) “I picked fruit when I was in my 20s!”

I said two things, 1 then go pick fruit now! 2 ever drive by the fields (very rural area)

His response? 1 nah I’m too fat and lazy 2 well yeah but only because they won’t hire whites 🤣🤣🤣

Trumps significant decrease in work visas (California) did indeed have non immigrants step in… And quit within a few weeks. The jobs are too hard, demanding and difficult.

Our economy functions and always will function simply because we do need immigrants.

PS he’s gotten so much better at not being a GOP these last 3 years!

For me it is this. When I was married he didn’t understand when I would request reminders to go to the bathroom, shower, eat, do laundry. He laughed. He thought I had dementia.

Nope just adhd with a swiss cheese memory.

I wad on a discord with 20 people. After ten minutes I left. How anyone had a conversation is beyond me

This has been my biggest complaint. Wanna read the discussion? Be prepared to dig for it. It’s awful.

The largest thing I’ve noticed right now is there’s almost no new content. Like at all. There was some repeating but not like right now.

I’m a mod and almost none of the small subs I mod for are transitioning off of reddit as yet.

I do need to learn to mod here…

Wait. So this is only if you post a image based comment?

20 years ago these were great. Now? Ye gods I’m too old for that tiny stuff.

I have several subs that I mod that the other mods want to remain open. I get it. I really do. So I keep notifications on and mod as needed but spend my time here.

Yup just read that. I’m pretty ticked off. They’ll hit the large subs first then trickle down to where I’m hiding

Booooooooo

1) None of those app icons look familiar to me

2) There’s already 3rd party apps that are confirmed to continue existing after the API change

3) Reddit already said accessibility, mod tools, and bots will be exempt from new charges

Reddit is being super scummy about this process (both in timeline, the way they’ve slandered the Apollo dev, and other ways), but basically at this point the mods are punishing us because Reddit hurt their feelings

fuck u/spez, fuck the mods

Copy and pasted from one of my subs on reddit in response to our keeping our subs dark. I didn’t respond because clearly they aren’t willing to care, listen nor change their mind.

You can’t actually convince them that the way they think is wrong. They’re programmed at this point. Refusing to give them an echo chamber is the best option.

Remember secret Santa?

I was talking to my tech kids (programmers for a very well known company) I told them how puzzled I was. The guy that created secret Santa was gung-ho to create a new one the second reddit announced they were closing it down. Then he disappeared.

The kids then explained non-compete and why it’s always included with contracts.

Reddit closed secret Santa down but wouldn’t let him bring a similar thing back.

Why? What is wrong with them?

PS this is conjecture only I haven’t spoken to him as he truly is MIA
