That’s not exactly true. He’s talked about buying it for a little bit and was trying to buy enough shares to be on the board. The board essentially made that impossible so that’s when he put out the joke offer to buy it outright. But then he entered legitimate legal proceedings making that offer official and agreed to pay a certain amount in damages if he withdrew the offer. Then he tried to withdraw the offer saying it was a joke. Then they said “ok, pay us the damages you agreed to” and he tried to pretend that wasn’t real. Then eventually agreed to buy to get out of paying damages (and getting nothing out of it) because he knew his excuse would never hold up in court.

So he wasn’t forced to buy it, he was forced to meet one of the two stipulations he agreed to in a contract, one of which was buying it.

This is obviously an elaborate viral marketing scheme by Casiopea

I imagine they mean without a cloth, poof, or loofa. As a kid I would put body wash in my hand, lather, and rub it over my body. But it tended to use up soap quickly so either I had to add more soap part way through or the things I washed last didn’t get washed well. Which is why I switched to a poof.

Agreed completely, it’s a workaround that requires some sacrifices.

Technically you can use Shortcuts to set whatever icon you want but it takes some effort to set up. And I don’t think it can use transparency so it’d have to take up the whole square (or out more effort into making the background of the icon match your background). And it’ll take a second longer to load the app as it goes through Shortcuts first

And, like janitors, they usually go unrecognized for the help they give and heavily criticized for anything that’s not perfect.

whispers bideeeeeet

Personally, I wouldn’t want them spending precious development time on this when you could just block the community and set a reminder on your phone for whenever you want to unblock it.

Theoretically, the way it works is each one of those sales should go through until you hit the one that would push them over the edge to monopoly. You don’t block a purchase because of purchases you expect them to make in the future (unless stuff has already been signed)

Shit, as a Floridian, you may have just convinced me we should let them live. We already have too many people moving here.

I would assume the amount they make is a percentage of the cart total. That would be the only way to make longer trips worth it. So that would incentivize suggesting more expensive options. But I imagine there’s also a tip mechanic so doing obvious stuff like that could hurt your tip.

Also, can we not support people putting no effort into the title? It’s really not hard to write a halfway decent title.

Funnily enough, the only reason I found this is I said when the PS5 released that it was too big and I’d wait for a slim version. But within the past few months I got impatient, thinking maybe it’d never come out. So this was like my final try to see if there was any news about it maybe coming and I found this article lol

Well it was very different a couple days ago. Things got shook up apparently, I don’t know the full story but a bunch of communities got wiped for some reason.

Cowboys do. They got their thumbs in their belts all the time. Maybe that’s why they’re dying out…

Same here and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I was definitely on Reddit an unhealthy amount so I’m hoping I can cut down my online time and use something that’s a better alternative. And we don’t need to act like everything here is instantly better. We’re here for a reason and there are definitely things that are better but we’ve also lost over a decade of material and rhythm that will take time to build up and make the place even close to as vibrant as Reddit was in its heyday.

Yeah 99% was definitely an overstatement, honestly I forgot the fact that people would still post in English even if it isn’t their own language just because of how ubiquitous it is online. I still think the feature would help a lot and it wouldn’t make it any harder than the current state for people that do post in multiple languages.

I wish more posters would use it so foreign language posts wouldn’t show up in my All so much lol. It’d be nice if you could have a default language that set your posts to that and you could change it if you want. I imagine 99+% of posters will only ever post in one language.

Well the main reason to block the purchase would be to prevent a monopoly so their point is that they’re far behind so the purchase will put them more on par. I don’t know if I buy that logic but that’s what they’re trying to say.
