Reddit brings back its old award system — ‘we messed up’
  • It's basically the life cycle of the internet. A thing is created for the people, it's beautiful and loved, it is not profitable at all, they use their newfound user base to generate money, they abuse their user base to generate even more money, a new "for the people" alternative springs up, mass migration.

    Skype, digg, and MySpace sort of followed that trend. Now reddit is completing the cycle. YouTube should be next, but it's significantly more expensive to make an alternative. But I remember when making money from YouTube was a south park punchline. Those were better days.

  • What's the best wax-on-wax-off-style advice you've heard that you can attest as being helpful in certain situations?
  • The phrase is a reference to the original karate kid movie. Rather than immediately teaching Daniel karate, Mr miyagi made him wax a bunch of cars, paint fences, sand floors, etc. The repetitive motions were actually training for particular karate moves, so rather than instructing the move, he already had it committed to muscle memory.

    Pretty sure the context of the post means "non-obvious advice." Something that clicks later.

  • Putin’s Friends Are Helping Russia Upend the US-Led World Order
  • And Ukraine is upending YOUR BOATS, IVAN. HOW ARE YOU LOSING YOUR ENTIRE FLEET TO A COUNTRY WITH NO NAVY.

    Put cope cages around the boats, Ivan! It is the only way! Build a shed around the boats to protect them! Better yet, give them to Ukraine and scuttle them so you can claim you destroyed Ukrainian ships!

    Maybe oc? I'm sure someone else has thought of this already.

    Catbox full size images not loading

    Not sure if this is a connect problem or catbox problem, but often when clicking an image hosted on catbox, it'll flash the low res then show a broken image picture when it tries to load the high res version.

    Unrelated issue but I've also noticed that occasionally when turning the screen on while viewing an external link in-app, the app will crash.

    Fat little turkey

    She's not actually that fat, just a very unflattering angle.
