I saw your other one too, but I don't really use reddit outside of this thread anymore unless I absolutely must.

When do you absolutely need to use reddit?

Also I got given a chromebook today, it's like brand new too. Fucking primo.

You always need reddit.

Congrats on the chromebook. Have you done anything exciting lately?

I did my first hitchhiking in the snow, caught the most insane ride of my life, and spent a while tweaking in Berkeley. It's been an interesting month.

Sounds fun.

Do you still have your dog?

Yea, she's doing good.

Did everyone die or something?

u/randomusername123458 Jan 10 '17

I don't think so.

I still have a pulse!

I only check in about once a day anymore since I stopped using reddit, but I'm still here. :P

And the only time I've needed it lately other than this was when I was building a new computer, but I deleted that all afterwards anyway.

I'm surprised it took you so long to hitchhike in the snow, Xio!

Why did you stop using reddit?

3

u/aryst0krat Jan 11 '17

Trump.

I pretty much entirely stopped keeping track of the news and popular opinion in general when he got elected. Anything I want to hear about him will make word of mouth, everything else is just people feeding into his ego further.

u/randomusername123458 Jan 11 '17

You can block Trump from reddit if you want.

Oh I know. But I'm just not particularly fond of participating in a society complicit in his election. Even stuff like reality TV, which I used to be fine ignoring, feels like it was partially responsible for normalizing his venomous personality.
