• Looking for my deceased fathers reddit accunt

  Some websites it's possible he could've used: Tom's Hardware,, GameFAQs, SomethingAwful, and MySpace. Source: 10 months ago

• Reddit CEO calls unpaid moderators' concerns "Ass shart's" (noise) - time to send a message he won't forget.

  When the blackout happened, I (and quite a few other redditors apparently) went back to the something awful forums. It's a lot smaller than reddit, a completely different format, and it does cost $10 dollars to register an account... BUT it is an actual community with a lot of history, a huge variety of subforums, and the originator of a lot of things like the Let's Play format, slenderman, various memes, and...

• [meta] Post-blackout update

  Forums.somethingawful.com - Yeah, it's ten bucks for an account, but it has a storied internet history and CSPAM is a fantastic place for irreverent but smart discussion about all sorts of things from socialist + communist perspectives--from housing to video games to food to the Prison Industrial Complex to parenting to economics to UFOs to Christian Communism. Those Cities: Skylines Franklin videos that were... Source: 11 months ago

• Intrusive Targeted Ads on Reddit: A Privacy Concern?

  Also, although not on Reddit: my wife and I were looking at kitschy yard decorations: pink flamingos, those old ladies in bloomers bending over, etc. They were getting pretty wild, and I said they reminded me of the older Sharper Image catalogs. I then mentioned a single, unique product that I had seen in a catalog like that almost two decades ago. For those who are older, it was part of somethingawful.com,... Source: 12 months ago

• Men making over $100K per year: how hard was it to get over that threshold?

  Ended up going Computer Science. Sacrificed my personal life catching up. Make contacts in the industry. Gott an internship via our (poorly underutilized) career center at a major corporation. Learned a lot, and graduated with a CS degree. First job I got from (true story) a random guy on somethingawful.com who flew me across the country for an interview, which I landed.

• BuzzFeed News Is Shutting Down

  I can only imagine their disappointment when buzzfeed.com still pops up with their quizzes and "news" about the Kardashians. Source: about 1 year ago

• Get it Together!!

  From what buzzfeed.com? Is that what the quiz told you? Source: about 1 year ago

• BuzzFeed, after gutting its newsroom, asks reporters to produce even more — Meanwhile, the company's stock is struggling, revenue is in free fall, and editorial ambitions remain hazy

  The terrible part is they completely poisoned the name "buzzfeed" because buzzfeednews.com (not buzzfeed.com) does some amazing journalism. Among other stories they are the ones who received the leaked "FinCen Files" which showed that FinCen (the US govt agency in charge of monitoring suspicious financial transactions) was basically not doing anything and money laundering was freely happening under their watch and...

• Algeria, and the relationship between lead and iq

  You're focusing on the wrong side effect of lead, studies have shown that exposure to lead in the air increases violence and crimes, and the effect can last up to 20 years. I'm more concerned about that than some arbitrary whimsical IQ test on buzzfeed.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Buzzfeed shouldn’t be suggested as a news site

  If I type in "nytimes.com" right now, I get news stories and midterm analysis first. If I type in "buzzfeed.com" the main story is "I Apologize In Advance, But Non-Americans Think These 18 American Foods Are Absolutely 'Disgusting”. You have to click on the logo and find your way over to Buzzfeed news, which to me at least, would suggest their news section is of secondary importance and isn't the main component of...
