Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Well, it does if our entire justice system is based around the concept of free will.

It wasn’t really a failure of the intelligence community it was a failure of the Bush administration. Bush couldn’t believe his “friends” in Saudi Arabia would do anything to harm his administration, after all his family had had a long and profitable association with them for years.

Plus, at the time the Bush administration was up to its neck in scandals (anyone remember the Enron Scandal?). Bush’s popularity had cratered and it was looking increasingly like he would loose the midterms and Presidential elections.

What’s more likely: a rather straight forward plot by a bunch of fanatical fundamentalist religious nut jobs bent on destroying the “godless American devils” supported by their equally fanatical fundamentalist nation state or an incredibly complicated plot by a third party? See, this is why Occam’s Razor exists.

I love your comment: “The second best time to plant a tree is today”. Not sure if it’s a quote you’ve reused but, from here on in, I’m using it.

I much prefer Lemmy, when RIF shut down I migrated and never looked back. Lemmy isn’t as crowded as Reddit became and reminds me of how Reddit used to look and feel.

I also signed up to Mastodon and between the two (Lemmy and Mastodon) get all the information and entertainment I ever got from Reddit without all the dickheads that now populate Reddit.

Really? I’ve found it to be as easy as a standard LP. 8 Track quadraphonic, now that’s a whole different kettle of fish

Laser discs and quadraphonic LPs.

Laser Disks - they’re so rad man

The ability to turn most traffic lights green (not all of them just, like 90%), would basically be the reverse of my current super power of turning most traffic lights red

The only app that seems to work for me is Summit. All the rest have issues logging out/in

Incredibly underated skill

Thanks so much, perfect ELI5

To be honest, I’ve been dissatisfied with Reddit for quite a while now but just didn’t realise it. Once I dipped my toes into the Fediverse I realised what it was I’d been missing: that sense of community that Reddit used to have before it became too big, too cold and too corporate. In my defence I used RIF for years and was shielded from the worst excesses of corporate culture. After setting myself up on Lemmy and getting a bit of a handle on what’s what I’m really enjoying the sense of intimacy and DIY ethos. It’s far more like the Reddit I used to know. It feels good to be back.

Seriously, if we wanted to see Facebook memes we’d be on Facebook
