  • I don’t think people are under the impression that literal harm is being done. “more harm than good” is just a saying. “more inconveniencing the general public rather than damaging the financials of the corporate entity” doesn’t roll of the tongue as nicely.

    Personally I think the mass Exodus of content creators was enough of a nail in the coffin. People removing their previously posted content feels more of a symbolic " fuck you" to Reddit than anything else; I still have to visit the page to see it’s been removed, so I don’t know how much is being done. This is just my opinion though, and it’s not my content to police, so people will do what they feel is right. It just sucks seeing a comment that almost certainly would’ve fixed my problem, and not finding it anywhere else, and that comment has been removed. I’m sure eventually the information will pop up elsewhere, but until then people are gonna bitch about it, me included.


  • I mean, this is useful for textbook information, sure. But when I’m trying to solve a niche technical problem, trying to fix a mod for a game, looking for a specific guide I’ve followed before etc, my local library/ ChatGPT is completely useless. Whereas Reddit has like a 99% chance of someone having the exact same issue I’m having, posting about it, then editing the post with “nvm I fixed it” (/s).

    Some of these solutions are so specific that the chances of finding them elsewhere are slim, especially for older issues where Google’s algorithm has been pointing the the same reddit post for over a decade. No one else bothers making a new post because it’s already been answered on Reddit. Now that post with the information is gone, and the only solution we can get is “Deleted by a script. Fuck Spez!”






  • It’s really just the time aspect of things. Working out when I get home means everything else I need to do gets pushed back at least an hour. I’d love to get a better sleep schedule, and I’ve been trying to focus on it the last week or two, but I’ve just got so much crap to do and having no time to decompress between activities is wearing me out. Sometimes I have to eat dinner and go straight to bed, which my body does not like. I’ll figure something out eventually, but right now things just kinda suck 🤷🏾‍♂️


  • Yup definitely feel you on the “not having enough time” aspect of things. I think that’s one of the major factors to my situation, at least for my general mood. My schedule is pretty much wake up, go to school/work, come home and work out, get some stuff ready for my DnD game, then go to sleep. Outside of the DnD stuff, I’ve barely had any free time to just chill or play videogames. Since working out, my days have had to be planned damn near down to the minute and it’s so exhausting feeling like I always need to be doing something.


  • I think another factor in getting these high approval rates is the citizen’s fear of being “found out”. Like sure, they don’t suspect their American friend of many years will report them to the Kremlin if they tell them they don’t support Putin, but what if they find out anyways? Better to just lie and fake support than to trust a survey is truly anonymous


  • This is really frustrating to type out, but honestly no. I’ve been working out consistently for 2-3 months now, and if anything I feel more tired and irritated throughout the day than I did before. I’ve got a lot on my plate right now, so it’s possible that the extra activity minus a little bit of sleep is to blame rather than the exercise itself. I look and feel much stronger than I did before, and I’d like to think that my mental attitude has improved, but honestly ever since I started working out I just always want to be in bed.







  • Are you asking which edition is the best one? You’ll probably get some heated responses (and I’m gonna get some too for my recommendation) but I think 5e is the best one to adapt to a videogame. The system is pretty “dumbed down” for lack of a better term than what I’ve seen of other systems.

    Disclaimer, I’m a brand new DM and only have in-game experience with 5e, but I’ve tried looking through some older editions, and maybe Baldurs Gate is to blame but none of them really made much sense to me.






  • I don’t know why you answered the question with so much animosity, but thank you for the answer, because none of that was in your original comment.

    I don’t currently treat my players like anything because I don’t have players. I’ve been wanting to get into it and was asking a question of someone who seemed to have more experience than me. Thanks for being so kind and helpful to a new member of the community seeking information 👍🏼
