I am in a similar boat. Since you have Tidal might want to look into Tidal-dl to "backup" the things you especially like in high quality.

Tidal is actually not too bad, and it pays artists more than other services (not a lot, just more) but I do expect it to go downhill/away eventually so I make a habit of downloading what I can and supporting the artist directly in other ways.

Physical buttons please and thank you

This is actually a good sign that Google is taking steps to fix their broken search engine. All it seems to deliver anymore as SEO-optimized crap "blogs" with affiliate links. Linking to Reddit without the user having to include "reddit" in the search is a sign they're actually trying to deliver good results again.

The fact that ✅ means "no" and ❌ means "yes" is very confusing.

How in heck is Truth Social worth more than twice Reddit

It's not on X. But I think it's a viral marketing campaign for Don Lemon. He still sucks but he played Elon like a fiddle here.

Watching Elon struggle to choose between admitting he's a failure, or not the big boy boss man was gold.

Still trying to rectify the illegal immigrant thing in my own mind, have to chalk it up to Elon being misinformed about the data I guess, because that made an unfortunate amount of sense.

He was (awkwardly) trying to point out Elon's hypocrisy. The US has a strong existing structural political bias towards red states, who (on average) get significantly more funding and representation per person than blue states.

If Elon was truly concerned with "unfair allocation of funds" and "unfair representation in congress", you would expect him to be upset with gerrymandering, the electoral college and other things in addition to undocumented immigration. The fact that he only speaks up when it involved majority nonwhite refugees is telling.

That said, I agree it fell flat. Also letting him claim that the "great replacement theory" is actually just about census-related funding is like saying the civil war was about states' rights.

It's not just a good speech for Biden, this is the best SOTU I've ever heard.

I have a feeling Reddit users are much less likely to click an ad than a Facebook, Twitter or Google user.

I believe that is why they have been dumbing down the site and encouraging low effort stuff like memes and tiktok reposts.

We did plan ahead, I'm sorry you don't like what we planned but you were also fully welcome to participate in the process the entire time.

I don't think it's a coincidence that "this line" became normal at the same time the GOP has been enacting antidemocratic legislation and putting forward antidemocratic candidates.
