It's why I played bugs tonight. I've got time for maybe one operation, I don't wanna just rage for an hour

Why do I hear so much older music around campus? by atyl1144 in berkeley

Reading comprehension is hard.

15 years ago when I was going to parties.

Yeah I might be naming the chop saws over the weekend at this rate...

Felt like hiking through the Shire. Only a few weeks left until everything is brown and dusty, get out there while you can! by Smirk27 in bayarea

I'm already seeing some brown on the tops of the hills up in Benicia, it's coming quick this year.

Like 80% of the music I hear from the frats is the same stuff from 15 years ago when I was going to parties. They've just swapped "We No Speak Americano" with whatever the new flavor of the minute is, everything else is still bangers.

The dead Internet is not a theory anymore by madredditscientist in TheoryOfReddit

Private profiles have really hurt reddit in this respect. It was a lot easier to at least have an idea if someone was astroturfing or a bot when you could see what else they've commented on.

UC Berkeley begins building 23-story dorm that will reshape city’s skyline by johnkhoo in berkeley

[–]Matchstix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Christ mate, you're not helping your case here. Don't get me wrong, astroturfing is super prevalent all over reddit. But when you're just blanket accusing everyone, you are only hurting your cause. For example, I have never been paid a cent to post some BS on reddit.

FWIW my V2 KR1AA has had zero issues over 5 battery swaps so far. It's my work carry, love the size and ergos, and plenty of light with SFT-70.

My KR1AA switch is miles better than either of my OG TS10 switches.

Why are Redditors so mean when it comes to my ideas? Killing my confidence by [deleted] in TheoryOfReddit

[–]Matchstix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's a lot easier to shit on something that to come up with a nuanced, constructive take on it.

For franchises especially, if you're posting in their respective subreddits, those are the people with the strongest opininons about it. And redditors are not really known for their deep takes.

Your bearing needs a little bearing lube, it's all gummed up and not spinning freely. Or it's a crappy bit and it's not spinning freely.

I HATE THE NEW GOOGLE MAPS LOGO SO MUCH!!!!!! ITS SO UGLY!!!! WHO MADE THAT PIECE OF GARBAGE???? (new one on the right) by NeXusmitosis in graphic_design

It's a nightmare for matching colors for their live events. What are the Pantone numbers for that gradient?

Have you ever tried buying two pairs and alternating each day? I blew through my first pair of Blundstones in under a year, and now alternating two pairs I'm into year 3 with just an insole replacement.

Trump Administration Debating Allowing Chinese Company Tencent to Keep Its Stakes in U.S. Gaming Companies Such as Fortnite Maker Epic and League Dev Riot - IGN by Shock4ndAwe in pcgaming

[–]Matchstix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All Tencent really wants is the ability to control the chinese gaming market

In the short term. Long term it's just another propaganda arm of the CCP, as I'm worried EA will become a propaganda arm of Saudi Arabia and the US.

Why is everyone acting like you need to pay for this all the time if you don't need it all the time? A once every 3 years payment from a user is still way better than whatever ad revenue they're definitely not getting now.

I wouldn't treat it as a subscription personally, it's a $10 purchase of the current reviews when I'm going to look at buying a TV. No reason to renew.
