it seems that reddit are delaying following through with most requests until after 1 July when API requests (such as those that shreddit uses) will be blocked.

I was sooo worried about this and thinking that something like that would be done, back when i saw someone warn in the save 3rd party apps sub that u should request your data. Still i tried making a request bc i thought maybe reddit did not catch on yet or maybe bc it was before the blackout there can still be a chance, but till now i never got the data. :(

probably i'll just leave the comments and posts. I did not post a lot.

If the sub were private that time, wouldnt it have prevented him from being able to delete the comment in there in the first place (bc he wouldnt be able to see them when its privet?) In this case he was able to see them i guess because he was able to delete them specific. But am not sure

It can also depend on the person ND or not. Im not diagnosed with autism but i never have stopped liking someone bc we didnt talk in a while.. i do have social anxiety and i dont talk to my friends every day or can go long time between ever talking to them, but i still like them the same im just not very talkative.... I only worry about what if THEY dont feel that way one day and what if theyre upset at me for not talking to them, or what if they never wanna talk to me again because is been so long but no one got upset.

Sometime i have greek yogurt and fruit? Tbh i dont eat breakfast sometimes bc usually i am not hungry enough to eat more than once if i even get hungry at all. My parents used to make me finish breakfast when I was like 4 and under but then they stopped and were more like "you dont have to eat if youre not hungry." So i guess if youre not hungry maybe not force yourself to eat? But at the same time i get esp if you do lots of hard work u might wanna have at least protein like boiled egg.

I think he had (I think it's called survivorship bias? Can it be survivorship bias if someone applies it to their own self?) Or just thinking he is untouchable or exception. I am not saying all rich people or their child are like this, but he came from a rich family and sometime people like him get a bit insulated to think anything wrong can happen to them, or they would have a way out all the time.

It's in line with other behaviour he showed tbh. Like he acted like rules, regulations and warnings are kind of pointless or at least are overly careful. So probably he thought "this still works, it isnt broken so they're probably just not using it because they're overly cautious." Or MAYBE he thought "well its only gonna be used for a few hours at a time, and by the time it gets too bad to use i will have made enough money to buy better and make a replacement." On news on TV a reporter said that guy told he wanted to be an astronaut before but was not allowed bc of his eyesight?+ Maybe that was a regulation that he thought was "pointless," stopped him from doing what he really wanted, and he just never got over it. Which is a bit sad if so but not excuse..

Weird is some people who are alive who like him being like "nooo he was always so careful about everything how could this happen." I think he was just good at rationalizing his actions and explaining them in a way that convinced those people but that doesn't mean he actually was using a perspective of safety even if he framed it that way.

+(Interview from 2017. Funny is back then he said the price is like 105,000 dollars per person, which less than half of what those people paid the last time. Also in the interview he didnt say why he didnt get to be an astronaut, it was a reporter who said he told him he didnt get to because of his eyesight but in this interview he just said that he wanted to be an astronaut but this is like exploring another planet and he wanted to for his whole life.)

It barely went down then gone basically back up... this is like those articles who say "people are FURIOUS about blah blah" and then it's only one tweet with no likes or retweets someone saying "i kinda dislike blah blah"

Maybe we're too nice to REALLY complain so they do it here first to prepare U.S.A. Americans for it

Wow apparently that Alvin was built by General Mills! (Electronic division.) Like the cereal company. Also it say:

In an emergency, if Alvin were stuck underwater with occupants inside, the outer body, or cladding, of the submersible could be released and discarded using controls inside the hull. The titanium sphere would then rise to the surface uncontrolled.

That's a good idea. I wonder if they just are not allowed to go on the alvin no matter how much they pay, and thats why they chose other option?

This is a good point. Because even websites which replaced others, oftentimes the older one is still there. Like even Digg still alive after Reddit got more popular. Some people say Tumblr's dead but its really not especially for specific interests like games. The success of you isnt based on the failure of someone else, and its important to remember and not become cross because reddit still has users. Especially its been only like 10 days and a lot have already gone onto other sites.

Now that i read it: i saw some ppl here wonder about bots posting comments or maybe downvoting, bc of apparently a lot of comments being against the protest suddenly more than before? And more downvotes on comments about it? If really bots are being used for this, will that also contribute to the traffic metric like a normal user would?

But that said im not sure if theyre bots, but i did see some people mentioned that they thought there's some false accounts speaking on Reddit's side.
