I’m flashing back to some story on 60 Minutes some time last century about the dykes in the Netherlands. The intervieer was discussing the magnitude of the system, and was asking if such an approach would work for New Orleans. The senior manager-ish person being asked, said something along the lines of:
This is something that certainly be accomplished from an engineering standpoint; the main requirement is the political will to do so.
That stuck with me.
Depends on your net worth more than anything.
Republicans hate women.
Thanks for the clarification.
What a fucking loser. Also, screw you to the RFEF for not having the spine to fire him.
As it turns out, blind loyalty can be fatal.
Reddit, like Digg before it, was a gathering place, where people could post or consume content, and interact with other users. It was much like a town square, where people can set up their soapbox and bark, or where a person could go and listen, interact, and enjoy.
Reddit is now like the Home Owners Association for that particular town square, and are actively trying to control the entire experience, by acting like they own the soapboxes, and as though the barkers are now obligated to ensure that content is HOA approved.
That kind of neighborhood holds no appeal for me.
I’m old, and think of my phone as a piece of equipment. In terms of looks, status, and stuff like that, I’m more interested in what protective case to buy.
The end of third party apps was the end of being able to tolerate the reddit experience.
