Reddit’s servers and storage are there to provide data to users. That’s not changing. The API changes relate to who gets to pass that data along, not to how much of it there is. Read more

It’s especially gross to put those restrictions on the people who developed accessibility modifications for your for-profit company for free. Reddit didn’t value that work enough to pay for it, but now they’re saying users aren’t allowed to pay the developers for it either. Read more
The communities that have gone dark pretty much all decided that by poll and discussion among the membership. So it’s not “moderator fiat” but a collective action by the active members of each sub. Read more
No, I really do mean beginner-beginners. Weight is instructive. Hand a total noob a bell light enough to front raise and they’ll front raise it. Have them go heavy and their own body will teach them to swing. Read more
I see it the other way around--if you want a fun strategy game that gets you thinking about what words contain and how they’re constructed, Hard Mode takes a lot of that away from you. To each their own, though! Have you tried Antiwordle? It’s like a harder version of Hard Mode. Read more
Same here. My two starters (ARISE and TOUCH) cover 10 of the 13 most common letters in English, including 5 vowels. According to my stats, I get 68% of puzzles in either 3 or 4 guesses (split pretty evenly--currently the 3's are winning). Read more
What a fucked-up system we have. Thanks for sharing. Restoring a basic bodily function, when we have a technological fix to do so, really shouldn’t be a luxury!! But regulators and insurance companies treat it that way. Read more
Yep, I’m still here! :) Read more
Thank you. Read more
PEDs let you make faster progress, but they don’t change the basic physics of what’s involved. Read more
Nah, I’m a professional writer and editor, and a recreational athlete. But I do burn around 2,700 calories per day. According to MacroFactor, I’ve eaten 2,792 calories per day (on average) over the past three months, while gaining 2.6 kilos, which works out to a TDEE of 2,730.
Carry pieces of metal around to exchange for goods and services? What is this, the 1600's? Read more
That’s pretty close, though! I described it to a friend as what you’d get from a personal trainer fresh out of high school who gets their first client, panics, googles a bunch of stuff, and throws something together based on that google search. Read more
It’s funny, I feel like I’ve got things pretty well calibrated these days (knowing what is true vs what I feel) but a lot of how I did that was with outside help! Like sending a video to my coach of my gut-busting “RPE 8” lift and he’s like “that’s like 5-6 at best, try again.” Read more
I’m already over 40, ya silly goose. Read more
No, normally the A/C blows out of whatever vents you want it to. btw I see below you mention something about newer vs older cars. I’ve been blowing A/C + heat to defrost my windshields since I learned to drive in the 90’s. There would be a knob for temperature, a knob for which vents to use, and a button for A/C if… Read more
As a casual reddit user, the thing that’s notable about this ad is that it was at the top of my feed EVERY time I opened the app. Read more
Yes! Grams! Thank you for catching. Read more
That’s such a good idea. One of my go-to meal preps is a quick beans + meat chili served over rice. Another is Costa Rican style gallo pinto (rice, black beans, and veggies) that I prep ahead of time and serve with hot scrambled eggs. Read more
It took me a while to learn how to be lazy. Read more
