Stuck in the chuffing hospital!

Wish I was out and about driving my car.

I've not watched a whole lot recently (unless we're counting random crap on YouTube...)

I have started FUBAR however, and I'm only 3 episodes in but it's really good. I love Arnie, so that might swing my opinion a bit. Looking forward to finishing it off though!

Agree! I don't know how people do tea in this weather, and I love tea.

Smashing back the bottles of water like no tomorrow.

Yeah, I know it's sad but I love reddit. Keeps me occupied when I'm bored and it'll be sad if nothing is sorted.

Wish I had AC!!! I'm sat in my bedroom WFH and I am BAKING

 

Alright refugees!

I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

Really excited for a new Star Wars game! Hopefully this isn't shallow like some ubi titles have been.

I loved the older Fable games so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the full reveal yesterday!

I'm already happy with what I've seen

FABLE, STAR WARS OUTLAWS, AVOWED??? All look great so far.

I'm hoping that doesn't happen! I learned in an A3, so my car is a bit smaller which I think helps.

I've bought a little VW Polo!

100% worth it! I wish I'd done it sooner now

I think any and all subreddits should go this way.

Reddit is only popular because of the users. We create the content. Yes, a lot of posts on the website are external links but all discussions are generated and concluded by us, the users.

Shutting subs down for 1-2 days and going back to normal is not going to have much of an impact. It's akin to a server blip. If subs shut down indefinitely then reddit has a real problem. 'Normal' users will start to take notice, whereas they currently might not be paying much attention. These subs should go the other route. Shut down and promote alternatives (such as lemmy!) to divert traffic away from reddit.

Pigboy Spez talked about not being profitable. No shit, you dick. This is how you become even less profitable, by pissing off the entire user base.
