    I became a privacy advocate and scratched the surface of how much Google tracks on reddit.

    That was years ago, but I kept a few accounts I would cycle through and trash after a while. Then the new quality contributor thing literally locked me out of /r/privacy because my aged account donesn’t post enough.

    That’s all after seeing the bot armies ramp up and make any larger subs basically unusable. Plus, the new reddit design is a mess they’ve never fixed.

    Every few months it’s one more reason not to bother with it.

    Edit: I should add, I loved early reddit. I still have my oldest account that is older than most redditors.

    Fair. I would assume Gore would have ended up a 1-term president is the thing, and he would have absolutely been pushed into war in Afghanistan. remember who was VP when the US entered the Balkan war. Sure, for good reasons, but the precedent was set. But certainly not Iraq, we can agree on that. And that’s like $22 trillion of taxpayer money back.

    Seriously. It was a failure of Intel sharing that would have always happened. Plus, the first WTC attack took place in 1993 while Clinton was in office. Gore just being there wouldn’t have stopped that.

    If anything, Gore winning would have 100% prevented any chance of a President Obama happening. I know which one I would have rather had.
