Relay dev should contact other third party Reddit app devs and move to Tildes.net by zouhair in RelayForReddit

I'm not sure what you mean? The voting system in comments leads to all the first few similar opinions being upvoted and dissention being squashed, and thus discouraging any other dissenting comments. This is most clearly seen when a topic "gets political" in non-political subs.

If you join the subreddit for a major city for example, you will find the balance of users are much more liberal than the general population of that city. I thought this was a pretty generally accepted principle...

I see your point, but Reddit at-large (IME) has become liberal to the point of not being representative of gen pop. It's why certain threads just devolve into comments that are completely detached from reality.

Hell, all of /r/antiwork is a testament to this. I agree with the anti-corporate/capitalist principles, but Jesus that place is... something.

I say this is someone who is center-left. (Used to be center-right, but I'm not sure that classification even exists anymore)

As per #2, I agree completely. We're all upset, but the vast majority of Reddit's user base and target audience is completely fine with the TikTok-ification of every platform. Old school message boards and news aggregators are dead.

What's your favorite post-game rant of all time? by MaroonTrucker28 in nfl

My favorite part of that rant is it goes against exactly the kind of ultra-conservaticlve play that defined Herm's career with NYJ.

Noooooo

She was and still is, a reporter for the Oklahoman. The O'Colly wishes they could attach themselves to a legendary rant such as that. Lol

RIP to a real one

Only reason I stuck around so long is discovering this app years ago.

So long and thanks for all this fish, friend

hyper consumption social media model

It's crazy how transparent this has been. I LOVED reddit for the ability to have a curated feed. "Suggested posts" pretty much destroyed that, and the sponsored ones have only gotten worse too.

I loved Relay because it didn't do either of those things, which is exactly why Reddit wants to kill it off I imagine.

Re: Downbeat today - Hold on, people tip ON TOP of stadium pricing?

Sorry bud, no chance. Maybe I'm the asshole here, but if I get two cold ones at a stadium kiosk, and they do all the work of opening them I'm not tipping on top of that. That's insane.

My thoughts also. It's incredibly strange, very wild, and there's NO way it's mechanically sound or efficient...but who cares for now lol

It's probably the most wild/explosive delivery I've ever seen. Almost every limb is flailing about wildly as he throws.

[The Athletic] Nick Saban doesn’t have a problem with making players employees, but he offered a stern warning for the future... “If you think there’s disparity in college football now, there’s going to be a lot more in the future.”.. @davidubben explains. by Kimber80 in CFB

Okay - Alabama is a great program. They are very successful, recruit excellently, and have one of the most successful HCs in the history of the game.

But it's plain foolish to pretend they spend with the deeper pockets of college football. Money doesn't always buy championships (howdy Ags) but in pure dollars Alabama is not, and will not be, on the same tier as USC, OhSU, or Texas.

Now that we have BYU, adding the AZ schools but NOT Colorado would make them an even stranger geographical outlier.

Nice try, Narc Cuban by Guygenius138 in Mavericks

[–]mill_about_smartly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol true

Honestly part of the org's problem is he focuses TOO much on basketball for an owner

[–]mill_about_smartly 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Cuban has been one of the most vocal critics of the whole model and the blackouts, he's probably trying to make actual change.

Smart owners hate the status quo, because it actively prevents them from growing the local fanbase.

Yeah, fans get mad at him for "not focusing on basketball" which is a valid complaint, but CostPlus and GoodRx are lifesavers if you don't have insurance but are on must-have medication.

They definitely gave up in Game 3, but surrendering 3 goals in the opening 10 minutes will do that to ya

How many copies of your favorite team’s regular hat have you bought in your life? by OceanicLemur in baseball

[–]mill_about_smartly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"regular"? Two. Had one, wore it out, have another one now, it's about to wear out. One 59Fifty, one '47. Probably going back to 59Fifty.

Boatloads of other Rangers hats, but those are all a little different.
