    I don’t know if it’s real or just nostalgia, but reddit is massively worse than I remember. I’ve gone back to nose a few times, and it feels like a ghost town, compared to what it used to be.

      Unchecked mods, baby! Dipshit mods running everyone off.

      It is annoying that it is popular. It is the only place you can post up a picture of some piece of plastic you found and 4 people will comment 39sec later telling you that it is from the inside of a distributor cap of a 98 Ford focus, one guy saying it is from a venusian mother ship, another guy will offer to buy it for $3, and another will DM you asking for another picture of it but held between your toes for $20…so in less than a minute I am a little more knowledgeable and $23 richer.

      I hate that it remains useful and that I still use it.
