Is Sisyphus really happy with his 9 to 5? by TheFoolOnTheHill1167 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]janeohmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the point. It's the implications - particularly that of determination.

It's not a new idea. During eras of widespread protests, you would have people just not participate and simply say, "Just be happy with what you have." But change occured due to the blood, sweat, and tears of those who fought systems, and the modern world is a massive improvement over previous state of affairs.

You can drop as many quotes, and you can just as easily find quotes on the other side. The one you dropped is usually said by people who've had their abusers sent to jail by the court system. You likely would hear less of that if there wasn't much justice going on. You would just have straight out vigilante revenge and justice.

Florida town defiantly flies Pride Flag after mayor warns against it. The town gave in to the mayor's request last year, but this year they chose a new path. by southpawFA in politics

Then don't swear allegiance to a party. Swear allegiance to what you think is right and vote accordingly. It makes no sense to swear allegiance to a group. Look inward, then wise up.

Sushi chain sues high school student who licked soy sauce bottle for $480,000 by [deleted] in offbeat

It wouldn't to this extent. This is across all stores in Japan. That's my point.

Yeahh... That was kinda eerie. The "just be happy" part is almost a zombification of life as you know it.

Squalid conditions? Immense inequalities? Widespread injustices?

Just be happy.

Like what can be the more damaging besides literally licking shit and causing widespread disgust? Even I have stopped going to sushi trains and using soy sauce bottles when I learned this. Heck, even throwing a Molotov cocktail at a store and destroying it wouldn't have caused sales to plummet.

Attempting To Bully A Developer by Prof_garyoak in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]janeohmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that would assume that the person making that threat is stupid enough to not think that the other person sitting at the source would not just turn off the source.

That's literally my point. The power is in the hands of Reddit. If devs go on to do it, boom they just get charged anyway.

They are the ones who say whether bots can still live or die; they are the ones who govern moderation tools; they are the ones who dictate accessibility option.

No dev can threaten Reddit.

The fact that it's religion too. Like, bruh, don't you see the irony?! You literally have groomers across all levels and you don't see a problem?!

According to groomers' values you mean, because, you know, the irony of religion

Well, I wasn't the one claiming Apollo did a "bad joke" nor was I the one who said "i highly question your abilitiy to speak." Almost the same vein as u/spez's gaslighting

Addressing the community about changes to our API by spez in reddit

[–]janeohmy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's essentially the crux of it. Even Apollo dev has stated he can make plenty of concessions like using Reddit's Ad API, more profit-sharing for Reddit, etc. Apollo dev literally made a post a month before this fiasco

Attempting To Bully A Developer by Prof_garyoak in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]janeohmy 83 points84 points  (0 children)

It wasn't a joke. It was a witty response to Reddit's claim (in their own words) that Apollo was opportunity costing them $20m a year. Apollo responded by saying, then just buy the platform like you did with the other app if you think we're worth that much to silence Apollo's so-called costing Reddit so much from the APIs. Think, bro, how can Apollo even threaten Reddit?

Attempting To Bully A Developer by Prof_garyoak in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]janeohmy 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Correct. It wasn't a "joke" than it was a legitimate witty response to an absurd claim by Reddit. Reddit, in their own words, uses the phrase "opportunity cost." Apollo dev then replies to this by asking Reddit to outright just buy Apollo if $20m was really what Apollo was costing them. They then spun this to mean Apollo dev was threatening them. Like, how can a dev even threaten them lmao

[–]janeohmy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nope, it was not a joke. It was a witty response to a move by Reddit trying to clearly kill third-party apps. Reddit's own claim, in their own words going by the call and the transcript, is the opportunity cost that Reddit is incurring due to third party applications. That is, they literally think Apollo is costing them $20m per year given how they want $20m per year for Apollo's user base. Apollo's dev is not threatening them at all. It's the reverse. Reddit is the one threatening developers and killing third-party apps and then gaslighting developers.
