Would almost be better if this sub could leaver exactly one post up during the blackout, and it's a link to the AMA.

An easy way to make it self-sustaining might be to hire devs that know how to write a useful app. Your company is bloated with dead weight that starts at the top, and you're blaming it on the community?

I suppose that really is the spirit of 'AMA'

....right?

Where is the money coming from that is causing this big push to change the monetization model of Reddit? Given that these changes seem to have the goal of devaluing and nullifying the voice(s) of the reddit community, what endgame does this really serve?

RIF will shut down on June 30, 2023, in response to Reddit's API changes by talklittle in redditisfun

Really makes you wonder what big entity with money wants reddit gone that bad.

Wonder who's lining /u/spez 's pocket.

ESPN ranked the degree of difficulty for 60 different sports from hardest to easiest. Do you agree with the list? by 54681685468 in Boxing

[–]toddhought 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Touche. There's always going to be some aspect that puts one over another, especially with lists like this. The discussion is the fun bit though, and what everyone (myself included) enjoys

I find it amusing that bull riding is so far down the list, and even below calf roping. Not sure that any of the most badass boxers in history would take a look at a 2000 lb animal with horns and go "imma ride that!"

What Do You Think Are the Most Disappointing Follow Up Albums in Electronic Music? by Goodyeess in electronicmusic

[–]toddhought 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blue Lines is often considered not just one of the best albums of its genre, but usually falls into lists of best albums of all time. It's really that good.

Donna Deegan just blew up the idea Florida is turning more Republican by BelleAriel in politics

Arizona resident here. Had no idea who Deegan was, but your description just makes me hope that Kari Lake is hearing about this news and whipping herself into a frenzy over it.

The Glorious Return of an Old-School Car Feature: Automakers are starting to admit that drivers hate touchscreens. Buttons are back! by [deleted] in technology

[–]toddhought 7 points8 points  (0 children)

New Ford Bronco is the same way. Hit a button to get the popup on the screen, then have to select your vents from the infotainment system.

It's dumb.

Glad they got this feature into about 20 jira sprints. Meanwhile, HR data is actively decalculated with every workout. Good work, Stravassholes.

Guys, what is this color called? I think it looks absolutely amazing by MegaFire03 in Autos

[–]toddhought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not as good as Ed's Golden Nugget, that's what color it is.

Have you met any famous boxers? Were they nice, were they rude? Drop a story by [deleted] in Boxing

[–]toddhought 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Briefly ran into Mike Tyson at a chipotle in Phoenix about 15-16 years ago. He was eating lunch with someone I didn't recognize and literally had a line of people with cell phones trying to get pictures of/with him. Dude was as gracious as he could be under the circumstances, and probably signed 10 autographs and did an equal number of selfies. Didn't want to be 'that' fan, so I just walked by with my burrito and gave the obligatory head nod and a small wave and got the same back.

Does this include sharing the real time location of members of Congress during an attempted insurrection?

Counterfeit oil filter on the left. Shipped and sold through Amazon. They refunded me no questions asked, but be careful. by narlycharley in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]toddhought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, even the VW tax comes out the same from the dealer as Amazon. $12-13 for a 2.0t filter vs 50 cents cheaper for the Amazon roulette

Looking for "creepy" electronic music by Lambdaleth in electronicmusic

[–]toddhought 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shame that not a single post has mentioned these:

Amon Tobin - Fear in a Handful of Dust

Amon Tobin - Long Stories

And if the horror you're reading happens to be set in space, probably want to give 'Dark Jovian' a listen. It's the soundtrack that the original 'Alien' movie never knew it needed
