I received the offer on my 16 year old Reddit account, but not on another account I have that's more like 12. Not sure if they went by account age or activity or what.

I did not try to get in on the IPO (or pre-IPO.)

My son is a voracious reader, and he has the same thing. He's 15 now but still, every so often, he'll say a word and it'll take me a minute to figure out what he means.

Especially when it's something that goes against "societal norms" like diet culture.

I'd be fucked because I never really read books as a kid, either for entertainment or even when they were assigned as school work.

Now, if I could do that with video games or Saturday morning cartoons, I'd be good.

I can see this being an on-again/off-again situation for a long time. When Rs are in power they'll remove it, and when Ds are in power they'll restore it. We need something like this to be enshrined in the law of the land, but more and more it feels like that isn't ever going to be possible as everything will be open to re-interpretation forever.

what airline did you fly first ever? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I love JetBlue. I live about 20 miles from the Long Beach, CA airport and used to use them all the time. I was so sad when they left LGB for LAX. LAX is terrible and I only fly out of there when I absolutely must.
