Sort of, although Pom is at least a century older as Seppo was coined during world war 2. It comes from the rhyming slang Yank to Septic Tank to Seppo.
It came from the swagger of the US service men in Aus during the war and the implication that many of them are full of shit.
Are we still doing phrasing?
After all, the 24 hour news cycle lives on scandals.
And because it is a 24 hour cycle, the scandal will be forgotten and replaced with a new one in the same amount of time.
Well, if it brings you joy, fill your boots.
From the horse or the person swinging the stick?
(When people let their anger get the best of them they often, regrettably, start to resemble the focus of their anger.)
Take The Money and Run?
I was thinking more along the lines of: The Gambler
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
Except they should have walked away about 4 years ago…when their chip stack was a much larger pile. Now they are trying to run with what they have left.
Honestly, why bother?
Management has been wanting to cash out for a decade.
The IPO will go ahead, the reddit of the days of yore is dead. It will not improve.
The horse is dead, beating it will just make you hot, sweaty and your arm sore.
No matter what you feel about the place it was never going to go any other way.
They are about 2 years too late.
The rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually need to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.
The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.
and wait till Apple complies with the EU order
I thought the EU had determined that iMessage will not be subject to the open messaging provisions.
iMessage will reportedly dodge EU regulations, won’t have to open up
Wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.
A Greek salad is not a fruit salad, it is a…Greek salad.
Intelligence is knowing Tomatoes are fruits.
Wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad.
Then move on with your life.

I’m tired of seeing the same story of that chode in six or seven different communities.
Any more than using it in the first place?
There’s also a new “Enable audio and video calling” toggle within the app’s settings, which says you can “turn the feature on and then select who you’re comfortable using it with.” It includes options to allow audio and video calls from only people in your address book, people you follow, verified users, or all three.
Five bucks says that when basically no one enables this it will be turned on by default for everyone to receive calls from verified users within the next 8 weeks.
Oh and the only way to turn it off will to be a verified user…
I had a lecture on that at university.
A group of students were given a car manual and told to follow the operating instructions in a completely literal manner.
He gave several examples that were pretty funny. The only incident I remember was the instruction to “Remove Handbrake” as part of the staring the car and moving off.
Remove Handbrake…The student pulled out a screw driver and started disassembling the handbrake and removing it from the car.
I honestly doubt it. I don’t think it is possible for reddit to be profitable in anything like its current form.
Twitter, before the EM implosion, had managed one profitable year in the last decade.
Reddit has about 2 orders of magnitude less users than twitter.
Those users are much less attractive to advertisers because reddit knows fuck all about them compared to twitter.
Reddit surfed through the years of cheap vc money but going public could kill it.
