  • This is an unverified reddit comment, so please take with discretion:

    One of the assistant mods posted about this on the Subreddit Drama thread. They explained that it seems to have been a confluence of two issues: 1) Reddit, reportedly at the behest of Elon, is using AI to crack down on a wide spectrum of political comments. So automated moderation has already been made high sensitive. 2) Tesla and more specifically the Cybertruck have become a symbol of the frustration towards Elon, thus the Cyberstuck subreddit became a lightning rod for charged political comments.

    Combine 1 & 2 above and the head mod is now getting a lot more work dropped in their lap. The assistant mod says the head mod was getting more angry by the day and seems to have just snapped. Like I said, I didn’t verify this and no way to know if other forces were acting behind the scenes.


  • Column 2 status would absolutely make sense if we weren’t talking about an administration that slapped tariffs on penguins.

    Russia still has billions in trade with the US, far more than any of the other three in column 2 and far more than the vast majority of trade partners assigned tariffs. The tariffs were assigned with a simple trade deficit calculation that Russia was spared. If anything, that this administration is so eager to “get even” that it slaps tariffs on penguins while missing one of its largest trade deficits says more about their lack of attention to detail than anything else.

    Bigots consolidating power by using national pride to make minorities, immigrants, and the educated into enemies to be rallied against, allying with corporate interests who realize the consolidated powers can be used to maximally exploit the working class. A machine that needs to be constantly fed by fear of “the other” until it inevitably eats itself. Very much tied to a false notion of simple answers to complex problems, unhealthy national pride, an obsession with displays of strength, and an unwavering victim complex.

    You know, us Americans.




  • I played and loved FO 1 & 2. I was so disappointed by 3 that I never would have tried New Vegas if a friend hadn’t bought it for me as a gift. New Vegas might be my favorite single player game.

    It’s unfinished. You can tell when and where they ran out of money. But the vision, atmosphere, characters, lore. It’s just so fun to explore. I highly suggest you take the Wild Wasteland perk at start. It doesn’t do a whole lot, but it’s the little things you’ll come across that’ll make it feel like the first two games.
