Has been an issue for a while. The sub of ~30k I was a mod in, I was picked up because I was reporting bot posts and posting the OG posts. I was modded by one the other mod (the sub owner was non-existent really) so instead of me being the middle man, I would just respond with the OG post so there was a "trail" and then remove the post.

I did other little things like discussion threads for the weekly event, but I just hated seeing the bots. It died down after a few months, so they have to be watching the metrics on the subs to know where it's allowed and where it isn't.

Yeah, that's the draw XDef has over CoD. It's F2P and generally the content is earnable, outside of some cosmetics and additional currency. I think both "locked" factions can be bought through challenge completions, so not really P2W either, paying just unlocks it faster. And it's not a bad shooter either imo, it's just....the same as every other shooter. Very average.

This is the stupid part. I left and didn't go back. I still end up there searching the odd problem online, but I don't necessarily need it. The one sub I modded, when I was last checking, has had quite a bit of spam and self-promotion "watch my new YouTube video" shit going on. I wasn't the only one doing anything on the team, as it was like 30k+ members, but it was alow traffic sub. But they don't do the weekly discussion threads, the repost bots were rampant.

All to make more money. I don't know why people stayed. All that huffing and puffing, just to cower and fold.

You don't necessarily need to keep the time to do it. You could just give yourself rest periods and push periods, but it'd probably be hard to keep the motivation without seeing number go up lol, at least to me. If all you get is total distance at the end, then I'd definitely just do the RPM thing. Just set a goal RPM and a rest RPM and bounce between the two as you are able to push total distance

When I use mine, I don't do training like that. I end up playing Xbox or watching TV or 2-3 hours while I just pedal.

However, when I was doing that, the bike had preset "routes" you could do where the resistance changed on it's own, and I'd just try to keep the same pace up for the 30min-1hr I was doing. It could also do it across distances. When I wasn't doing the preset courses, I was just setting the resistance to what felt decent, and then keeping up my RPM (usually ~100). If I was really feeling myself, I'd up the resistance a bit. If it was a bad day, I'd drop it down. The total distance at the end would change based on the resistance I used, so I could at least always tell what days were "better" and which weren't. The motivation was just wanting to see if I could beat my previous distance.

"Ah-ha-ha-haaa"

Depends. Had a client pull a knife on me once, and another dragged me around the facility for an hour while he tried to break down a door to "kill" another client because he had stolen the change from a $5 Taco Bell gift card.

The other incident being was a coworker harboring one of the fugitive kids at her house with her like....6 children while her husband was away in Nebraska for work. Randomly saw her in family court a year later while I was working another job, hopefully while her husband fights her for custody of the kids...

"Fills" is a bit generous don't you think?

I don't. Outside of Discord (which, really, I just don't want people to have my phone number), I have a Group Me for fantasy football that goes back to like...2012 and that's it. Everything else I do is on texts. And GroupMe will probably die once the RCS stuff goes into effect for Apple

This is the same shit as before. Moskowitz offered to impeach in March this year, and they wouldn't do it. They've been claiming for years that he's done all this stuff, and he needs impeached. And then when offered a golden ticket to do so, they wavered.

There is nothing there. And even if there is, who gives AF, arrest him. I'm not losing sleep over it. They would have done it if they had the evidence before. And now, in August, with 3 months left and 2 months basically of lame duck time, they want to impeach him? It's a political stunt, nicely timed with the start of the DNC.
