I'm more of a commenter than the type to post articles I've read - but I'm curious what everyone thinks about this situation. To me, it's 1) practically an admission of guilt because an innocent person would expect to be vindicated and it would help them win in an election and 2) another attempt to obstruct justice because he's hoping a Republican (or himself) would be president after the election and pardon him. Thoughts?

    Highly recommend the Bulwark Podcast Presents: The Corruption of Lindsey Graham.

    It's fascinating how he presciently described the danger of Trump for our democracy and then became a boot licker.

    I would say NTA. But I'm not surprised he was upset. If he participated in selling the old car with the expectation that the car you inherited was taking the place of the old car and would be mutually owned, it was because there wasn't clear communication.

    Regardless, he doesn't get to make unilateral decisions with mutually owned property. So even if he thought the car was mutually owned, he can't just make decisions that disregard your opinions.

  • AITA calling a lady an idiot after countless attempts at explaining the concept of siphoning to her?

    I don't necessarily think it was kind to call her an idiot but it doesn't sound like she was being kind either.

    I feel like I would have just told her to look it up online when she wasn't getting it and moved on from the conversation until she left.

    So I'm taking NTA over all. Sounds frustrating.

    [WIRED] Reddit Won’t Be the Same. Neither Will the Internet

    One of Reddit major shareholders is Advance Publication. Advance Publication is a parent company to Conde Nast. Conde Nast is a parent company to Wired.

    It's like Russian dolls but it all comes back to the same investment group.

    You know, I don't think I mattered that much to Reddit at large. I mostly lurked and occasionally posted.

    But I don't need Lemmy to be as sprawling as Reddit.. The people are nice, the topics are interesting, and I'm finding instances that I want to subscribe to every day.

    I'm ok with it.. Reddit can burn or just go on without me. I'm happy here.
