I make things, and people seem to like them.

I’m a NYC native, and I am always struck by the accessibility of cultures we have to offer. Any time I discover a new cuisine or dish I haven’t tried, I’m basically guaranteed to find it in this city. There are lots of things I hate about NYC, but I love that we’ve got so much of the world to offer, with a transit system that can get you there.
This is one of those albums I come back to every couple months just to get lost in it. So much anger and wrath that resolves to so such relief and self-empowerment, there aren’t many albums like it. I think it’s the best of her trilogy of widely-released albums, but God Has Nothing to Do with This Leave Him Out of It and His Happiness Shall Come First Even Though We Are Suffering are also absolutely stellar.
Oh wow, /r/AskBibleScholars (and /r/AcademicBiblical) were instrumental to me years ago when I began to lose my faith, and helped me arrive to the much healthier place I am now. I had no idea the same person was, in part, responsible for Beehaw. Hopefully we can bring some of those communities here in due time - they do too much good to be lost.
Thank you, Chris. I am so thankful that you’re here right now, and it’s a pleasure to be here with you.
I went LiveJournal > Digg > Reddit, and there’s definitely a similar energy to the Digg days - but the level of organization we’re seeing here feels totally new. The other difference though, is that the Digg migration had direction. It felt like within a month we had all moved to Reddit. I don’t see that happening here, so really this is uncharted territory. It’ll be fun to watch, that’s for sure.
There’s something so therapeutic about having Reddark open in a tab in the background - every time I hear the ding, a little voice in my head cheers. Interesting times, folks.
The whole blackout thing is super interesting, and to my knowledge it’s the biggest protest of it’s kind since Reddit hit the mainstream. I can’t imagine it kills Reddit soon though. It’s just the start of a brain-drain that will make Reddit lose relevancy over the next 5 to 10 years, and they’ll wonder where they went wrong. Even I’ll probably keep my alt account there, but the days of actually contributing will end for many.
But also fuck spez ;)
It’s one thing to test a new idea or a UX tweak or similar on a small portion of users - but just turning off a key way to access your service is so just so weird to me. How many of Reddit’s decisions at this point are some version of, “hey, how angry do they get? What can we get away with?”
Appreciate it! I think a stretch-goal for the future could be a “muted colors” toggle, to tone things down a little while keeping the rest of the changes
