I doubt your history is on SSDs specifically, but yeah, I would assume they have it, even after I used Power Delete Suite and completely closed my account. They gave backups of posts/comments before they were edited.

The whole reddit API change was about controlling and monetizing their massive dataset for LLMs like ChatGPT. They are going to keep “your” data because we all signed it away after skimming past the Ts and Cs.

Reacher season 2. Reacher is a different character this season, he’s bigger, dumber, and I wondered there for a moment if they were trying to make him out to be on the spectrum. This one is teetering on finishing to be a completionist or DNF.

Percy Jackson season 1. I didn’t read the books and have vague memories of the movies and being unimpressed by them. I feel like I’m too old for the new viewer target audience, and since I didn’t read them as a kid I’m missed by the nostalgia target audience. I get why others would like it though, certainly better than the movies.

Oppenheimer. I procrastinated for a long time, put off by the length and the “great man biopic” genre. I am glad I finally watched it. Cillian Murphy is the man. Downey shows off chops he couldn’t in MCU and Sherlock movies.

Silent Night (2023). I was surprised when I looked up after watching that it was directed by John Woo, of Mission Impossible 2, FaceOff, and Windtalkers pedigree. It is about what I expected for the genre (action/crime thriller with a Christmas schtick), but surprisingly flat for a movie coming from John Woo.

No one is seriously saying Boomers fucked everything up. They’re saying doing some things right doesn’t get you off the hook for fucking other things up and/or intentionally standing in the way to prevent us from fixing those fuckups now.

We got my grandpa to stop saying the n____r word for Black people. Great, woohoo. Doesn’t mean we won’t call him out for calling Mexican people w__backs now.

Grandpa put 5 kids through school and helped with another half dozen grandkids; great and generous. Doesn’t mean we have to silently put up with his whining when he wants a ride somewhere and the person offering has an EV.

With that logic we would have stopped and “been thankful” when black people counted as 3/5ths of a white person. Or when women were allowed to vote but not allowed to have their own bank accounts.
