When my FIL what was a veterinarian was cremated, his remains were in a nice wooden box on his old antique desk. My SIL always referred to it as, “Doc in a box.”

Zuck claims it’s up to 30 million now

There were also:

• Golden Club
• Supreme Club
• Centennial Club
• Platinum Club
• Apex Club
• Pinnacle Club
• 500k Club

Don’t have their descriptions anymore since I logged off of RIF but they were all variations of the same sort of thing

I’m leaning more toward “incompetence” as the explanation for this. What good does it do Reddit to leave RIF intact, but simply disallow logging in?

Reddit’s value depends on content creation and interactions driving ad views. Read-only RIF users create no content or interactions with the site. And for many like me who purchased the premium ad-free version, we see no ads.

Admittedly, I’m not sure if the RIF ads in the free version are Reddit’s own ads or not, but without the content creation, and the interactions driving more engagement, RIF does little but drag on the site.

I will be interested in seeing if traffic here noticeably increases after today…

Same here. My domain name and email address will turn 30 next March. I’ve been doing this since the days when Usenet posts were transmitted across sites using UUCP.

We will always find the next place. Reddit has peaked and is destroying itself and it’s time to move on.

I’m a RIF person myself but I have so much respect for Apollo and Christian’s work, even as I’ve never had the opportunity to use it, just from how he’s handled and documented this situation. I’m sad both Apollo and RIF are being taken from us and I hope Christian and Andrew find amazing success in whatever they decide to work on next.

They permanently banned my 9yo account with 2 million karma for using the “boxes of Liberty” metaphor in a highly up voted comment about Republicans taking away access to voting. They said it was a threat of violence. 🙄 Meanwhile fascists make literal death threats in conservative subs with no consequences.

The site has systematically been banning high volume contributors who aren’t right wing enough for at least the last 3 months. They, like Twitter, are trying to suppress the voices of people who are against fascism. It is deliberate and planned.

That’s roughly the speed at which these sorts of things would get identified on That Other Site™️, so that’s a good sign!

This is great advice, coming from someone who pondered using the “Mother was really sick and had to manage her illness and passing” excuse if I ever went back, as it was true for me too. (I’m sorry for your loss, it’s a really painful life transition, I know.)

I ended up taking a slightly different approach. I worked in IT project management before I retired early. My LinkedIn resume shows me currently employed as an “IT consultant” and will until I decide I need another job or I kick it.

Thanks, I’ll do that!

OP, this person knows what they’re talking about. One of the screening questions when I was diagnosed with ADHD had to do with clumsiness. My own parents used to call me, “An accident waiting for a place to happen.”

I have slowly been able to improve my clumsiness a little bit, by exercising regularly with a trainer 5 days a week. One of those days is a balance-focused day and after 2.5 years I’m actually able to hold poses and (mostly) stay upright and steady. But it was SLOW going.

The night before my 50th birthday, after I had been taking this class for 7 months, my husband and I were on a sunset cruise and his phone fell out of his pocket and over the side of the ship. I reached out with one hand and successfully caught it. THAT KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS TO ME!

I celebrate that day every year as much as my birthday now. I managed to show off hand eye coordination before I was 50!

Get screened… :)

I have found that by brute force hitting the button between Subscribe and Pending enough it eventually switches to “Joined”. I’m not proud of my troubleshooting method.

Simply holding a glute bridge for at least a minute for several rounds during a workout helped me start activating glutes that had been deadened from sitting at a desk job for two decades. I will often do up to 10 minutes of glute bridges in a 30 minute workout.

I usually combine glute bridge holds with upper body work using dumbbells (press, diamond press, skull crushers, flies) so I’m getting weight work in while activating my glutes.

Also mix things up with one legged glute bridges and glute reps (up and down with a weight on your hips). A key for activating your glutes during these holds is to make sure that you are pressing your heels into the ground, not your toes.

As you get those muscles used to firing during the holds, you should start to feel them activating more during squats, etc.

It’s “safe” to work out but you’ll want to make sure you aren’t compromising your form any due to being sore.

I’d suggest making today a lighter weight workout or just focusing on cardio. Getting your muscles moving will increase the blood flow, which will help speed up getting things back to normal.

I don’t mind if you take Earl Gray for your tea, or simply earl gray. It’s things like neglecting to put in paragraph breaks and a complete lack of punctuation that really bother me.

I also have a bias against u/ur etc. but I’m annoyingly pedantic about things like that. If Weird Al mocked it in “Word Crimes”, it’s likely on my list of peeves.

I believe Reddit is to blame… because everything bad comes from them right?

And I fully support your hypothesis here!

Regardless of how you choose to write things out, it’s always good to see another feline based username in these parts.

Yeah I thought that whole “plea deal” was just a joke from a malignant narcissist, not a real plea deal.

Not to be That Guy (but promptly being That Guy) do you have a source? I’ve not seen anything about him asking for a plea deal. Thanks.

His persecution fetish is showing

It honestly sounds like the place is run like a clown car.
