When my FIL what was a veterinarian was cremated, his remains were in a nice wooden box on his old antique desk. My SIL always referred to it as, "Doc in a box."

I read about an 1800sf home in St Pete, not on a flood plane, yesterday... $8000+/year for homeowners insurance. 😳

RIF still works today for some weird reason, but I'm not logging in. I wanted this adorable scrungy cat to be my last memory of Reddit.

I'm leaning more toward "incompetence" as the explanation for this. What good does it do Reddit to leave RIF intact, but simply disallow logging in?
Reddit's value depends on content creation and interactions driving ad views. Read-only RIF users create no content or interactions with the site. And for many like me who purchased the premium ad-free version, we see no ads.
Admittedly, I'm not sure if the RIF ads in the free version are Reddit's own ads or not, but without the content creation, and the interactions driving more engagement, RIF does little but drag on the site.

From Reddit, /u/jforrest1980 posted: My dad Postie (Left) - with his brother Timmy in the early 80's. Straight up pimping. Raised me, a white son as his own from the day I was born. My mom said "I don't know who the dad is", and he replied "he's my boy now". Absolute Legend!

Same here. My domain name and email address will turn 30 next March. I've been doing this since the days when Usenet posts were transmitted across sites using UUCP.
We will always find the next place. Reddit has peaked and is destroying itself and it's time to move on.

I'm a RIF person myself but I have so much respect for Apollo and Christian's work, even as I've never had the opportunity to use it, just from how he's handled and documented this situation. I'm sad both Apollo and RIF are being taken from us and I hope Christian and Andrew find amazing success in whatever they decide to work on next.

2 out of 3 of those are immediately disqualifying for me. The third is unfortunate but I'll take old over criminal fascists every day and twice on Sunday.

They permanently banned my 9yo account with 2 million karma for using the "boxes of Liberty" metaphor in a highly up voted comment about Republicans taking away access to voting. They said it was a threat of violence. 🙄 Meanwhile fascists make literal death threats in conservative subs with no consequences.
The site has systematically been banning high volume contributors who aren't right wing enough for at least the last 3 months. They, like Twitter, are trying to suppress the voices of people who are against fascism. It is deliberate and planned.

I tend to prefer fuel-based strains like Sour Diesel, Chemdawg and Rocket Fuel or Jet Fuel. Whether it's a sativa or indica dominant strain seems to matter less. If it's got that funky fuel smell, it will usually treat me right.

This is great advice, coming from someone who pondered using the "Mother was really sick and had to manage her illness and passing" excuse if I ever went back, as it was true for me too. (I'm sorry for your loss, it's a really painful life transition, I know.)
I ended up taking a slightly different approach. I worked in IT project management before I retired early. My LinkedIn resume shows me currently employed as an "IT consultant" and will until I decide I need another job or I kick it.

I haven't even visited the website version yet, so it never crossed my mind to try that. Thank you!
I fat fingered while trying to join a community and accidentally blocked it. I can't see how to unblock it anywhere. Is there a way to do that that I'm missing? TIA
