It can be both. Reddit has a history of fabricating conversations. The way they sell advertising implies a certain level of engagement from their user base which can lead to bots pushing products in the form of reviews or by mention.

I think it's worth noting that Reddit, at one time, did have third party bot protection; however, it only protected their advertising. I can only imagine what the rest of their traffic looks like, but I would not be surprised if they were using bots of their own.

Like you said, they can make some money selling your information but they can also control the narrative how they choose.

We've had one, yes. But what about second bird flu strain?

Carney succeeds Justin Trudeau, who Trump had begun referring to as “governor” in reference to his hopes of making Canada a U.S. state.

It's petty but Carney should start referring to Trump as "governor" and Musk as president.

Asking for a friend, but what were people decorating their buttocks with in Hesiod's time.

Edit:

I found the following on https://neoskosmos.com/en/2019/11/24/dialogue/opinion/buttocks-of-greece-an-ancient-arse-country/

He then wrote him the following poem: “On Paeonian daughters who adorn their buttocks: Hesiod said to his brother Perses: – Don’t let an arse-decorated (πυγόστολος) woman deceive your mind. There are two ways in which she may be called pygostolos. Either because she adorns her arms and forearms (πυγών), and so is called pygostolos for putting on bracelets, or because she adorns her buttocks (πυγή), by her hind-quarters, with broad girdles done up with tassels and fringes.” Incontrovertible proof, if ever such was required, that arses pre-existed Kim Kardashian.

Here's a video manual, or something. https://piped.video/watch?v=5ONqYRGzqQY

 

Hello everyone, I felt like this was a safe place to post this and garner discussion. I haven't seen a lot of talk about the two groups that are pushing for hand recounts in swing states.

The tl;dr of the letter is that there were an abnormal amount of "bullet ballots." These are ballots where an individual only casts a vote for one person without any down ballot votes. In this case, only for Donald Trump. The marked increase is only present in seven swing states.

Thoughts?
