Our other trade partner also went batshit about 10 years ago and made it a lot more difficult to trade with them.

Life's lonely as a relatively norma neutrall northern-hemisphere anglophone state.

No, because what he's describing is a self-run comment editing and deleting script.

GDPR account deletion works very differently.

Note I'm not defending Reddit here, as much as anything it's advice for anyone (like me) who has to go back and re-run the script every few months because of those brave people whose form of protest is very temporarily inconveniencing themselves.

There's a non-malicious reason for this - if you used a script based on interacting with the website, when subreddits went hidden, it actually hidden your own comments from you. So they aren't visible to automated scripts and then when subreddits go visible again, suddenly it looks like comments "came back".

Hello.

My nan passed with dementia a few years ago too. I felt for my dad at the time but after visiting her and her not recognising me, not recognising my dad, basically living and suffering for nothing, it was pretty neutral when she did die.

I didn't miss the old lady in a chair pointed at a TV that kept her conscious. I missed my nan who'd always sneak us biscuits (cookies) and insisted I was handsome from 0 years old to 30 years old. But she'd been gone a long time. I think my dad had hope she'd snap out of it. My hope is that I never see him like that. And that me losing things is my ADHD, not a precursor.

Do you usually interact with people at parties the way you interact with people in the comments section of a link aggregator?

and that's just at a glance

That's a you problem. As it turns out, science isn't based on glances and vibes.

It's plainly evident that taking any person with high testosterone and getting them to train at a physical activity will almost always result in better performance than training a person in the same way with lower testosterone.

The papers talk about the evidence based on ordinary, presumably nonspecialised individuals, not cherry-picking a few thousand people who have trained in such a way that testosterone can make its difference over time.

As you've spotted, good hearing is advantageous to everyone.

However the men hunting/women gathering stereotype is increasingly regarded as wrong or at least simplistic.

Not how evolution works, and not how oppression works either.

You've combined the two things together and said they are worse than one on its own. Duh.

The original poster is talking about the vast majority of kids today who do in fact get a decent sex education and if they see/hear their parents going at it, the 'trauma' is in seeing them in an unexpected context, not thinking Dad is beating mom.

I'm pretty sure they mean The Company Formerly Known As Electronic Arts.

Because Paradox have a track record of buying studios and monetising their games in a similar way that EA monetised Maxis's The Sims.

Maybe maw and paw share the same line...

How do you think those protections were won in other countries? Indeed those few that are in America? By asking nicely? By quietly waiting through six months of the demolition of rule of law and any form of backing for the little protections you do have?

Your comment belongs on X, with the other variations on "No, it's fine, just sit there, eventually the right date to express your dissatisfaction in a completely safe and risk-free way will come around and your children will thank you that you didnt risk your mortgage even if they express it mainly by sterilising themselves so they never have to be so beholden to a future that will never come as you were."
