Reddit used to really drive me nuts, in the work-related subreddits, where everyone used to say, "Your co-workers are not your friends."

Reddit is full of the asocial "leave me alone" types (or at least used to be) that make every excuse to not to socialize with others. Taking their advice to heart is an easy way to become a miserable person. There's lots of nuance between "set up barriers in front of everyone" and "share every detail" and they seem to lack that.

Even if you think it's perfectly fine morally, wouldn't that look awful in the public eye and paint a bad picture of those opposed to him? I think it could only harm any sort of real and effective movement. It's not representative of everyone anti-Trump, but they'd be easily painted that way.

That's assuming they even pay attention to anything international other than Ukraine or Israel (many don't).

Here, your comment doesn't get completely buried if you make one on a popular post. Part of that is the lack of heavy volume, of course, but I also feel like the sorting is more favorable to less upvoted comments.

Cocomelon would have been a proper choice for OP to argue. It's sensory overload brainrot that causes addiction rather than any sense of morals.

It's interesting to see people are starting to like the idea of it more, but to me it's useless lip service until they start building new plants. I'd imagine they'd like it a lot less if they started building a nuclear power plant within 20 miles of their house.

If you mean they both agree to shutter old facilities and not replace them with modern nuclear plants, that's correct. The anti-nuclear sentiment in the US is very strong.

The politicians don't like it due to cost and time building, while constituents are still very afraid of nuclear disasters (especially the latter, the view on its safety is 30 years behind).

It's effectively "Liberal people twitter" with all posts being about politics, especially discussing Musk and Trump. I think it changed around the Covid lockdowns.

In my state, prepared foods are generally taxed while produce, canned goods, dairy, and many others are not. The system is confusing enough that hardly anyone knows what's taxable or not, so they rely on the store systems to do it for them.

Perhaps this isn't related to DOGE, but the White House memo also threw the defense industry in a lot of uncertainty over military-related grants possibly getting cut. It's more likely collateral damage than intentional, though.

Social media addiction is widespread. Once these sites get their hooks in their users, they will keep coming back to the site no matter how it makes them feel. It takes a conscious effort to either wean off or go cold-turkey on a particular site. Many get lazy or too comfortable to make the switch.

Sorry for not being clear, I meant the speculoos butter spread, most commonly Biscoff butter.

Chunky speculoos spread and strawberry spread is the way to go. I need to try it on brioche one of these days.
