In other news, water wet, reflection pools green.

Appro of nothing, I just checked my country's data. The US has roughly three times the pedestrian death rate to that of Australia.

I don't know what that means. I have only been to the US once, and that was in the 90s. I was very surprised at how difficult it was to be a pedestrian there. Australia does love cars too, but it is also relatively easy to leave them at home for small errands. Not sure how much of a contributing factor that is?

True, my friend. But Reddit is set on automatic self-destruct mode. Nothing can be done except sit back and watch from a distance. Unfortunately it will be pretty boring to watch.

Me too. 14 year account and it never bothered me much because it's like being banned from a dumpster fire.

I'm wondering how driving out users will assist their bottom line? Particularly those of us who were providing content that they can sell. 90% of Reddit accounts are bots and lurkers.

I guess AI has replaced journalists already. That escalated quickly.

If you are American, just read your own situation before lecturing anyone else. As far as I am aware, my country is having negligible negative effects to other countries. Your country is a blight upon civilisation.

I'm not a European myself, but when I visit France this is too common to even remark upon to my wife. I don't know why they don't ticket them, or maybe they do and it's not a concern?

It will be a trickle away from US dominance - until it's not. These things take time and seem imperceptible in the beginning. They were still building canal systems when the first railways were coming online.

He was right in his original messaging. We are so sick of winning right now.

You are saying that from a libertarian perspective (or seem to). The Australian government's social media controls for children are very popular here as social media is very harmful to children.

You can't compare that to America bombing a girl's school and killing 174 children by your military, and in your country's name.

By no means are they pure, but dude, you could drive 60 tractors, side-by-side, between our version of a bad leader and your guy.

Guess what? You already know that too.

I'm not talking about individuals.
