You're massively overestimating how many people care about gaming on their computers.

TL;DR: OP didn't know that winter isn't everywhere at the same time.

me happy about the cold winter, happy earth can cool down for a moment

Am I missing something here or is OP not aware that winter isn't everywhere at the same time, and that tropical regions don't follow these "classical" (for lack of a better term) seasons at all?

Obviously climate change is bad and all that, but the upper caption makes no sense.

Every major country that has ever gone down the communist road has ended up a dictatorship.

Up until not too long ago, every democracy relied on slavery, disenfranchised large parts of the population, and eventually ended up a dictatorship. If you asked someone in like 1810 whether democracy could work, it'd be completely understandable if they pointed out all the horrible aspects of Greek and Roman "democracy", American planations, colonialism and the Reign of Terror, and if they assumed all of these to be inherent to democracy.

"Sure, the king isn't perfect, but he's surely better than Robespierre (who was inevitably succeded by Napoleon). And besides, great thinkers like Plato argued for a philosopher king – and that guy lived in a democracy, who would know better about all of it's evils?"

Yes, communism has failed in many respects so far.* The reasons for that are complex, include active sabotage by anti-communist states, but anyone who doesn't genuinely and critically reflect it's failures is (probably) doomed to repeat those mistakes.

Assuming those are inherent and inevitable based on less than a hundred years of history is imho short sighted.

*Some very early societies were probably kinda close to what we conceptualise as communism™ today, but applying the term is anachronistic.

I know you're making a joke, but this really is a (ihmo very interesting) mess:

In this case this is just multiple single points of failure though, at least for the larger ones.

If you lose one of the big red ones in the middle (common carotid arteries) you'll have a major stroke killing essentially three quarters of one of your hemispheres.

There's another pair in the spine (vertebral arteries, not visible) which supply the posterior and lower parts of your brain, but they're also not redundant. Also sometimes, one's doing basically all of the heavy lifting, and sometimes the other one doesn't exist at all.

Also this is a simplification and many many variations exist.

The headphones: Probably zero.

The phone: Definitely possible, if you take care of it and are fine with not having the latest and greatest.

Seeing how the vast majority of people stayed and are gladly participating in reddits PR event, I think it's fair to say that messing with reddit can be fine.
