  Trumps policies have killed many people.

  The cholera epidemic in South Sudan worsened significantly after the Trump administration cut funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which had been providing critical medical support. These cuts led to the closure of clinics that were essential in treating cholera patients, resulting in increased mortality rates during the outbreak.

  For example. We’re not talking about someone who did something wrong, we’re talking about a man who’s at best indifferent to suffering and dying of people based on their skin color. This isn’t some regular murderer or even assassin, this is wholesale killing.

  Wanting someone who has the power to kill innocent people and does to die is a pretty natural response.

  If you save the images to your account, you can repost them when the thread calls for it.

  eg I have a photo of my foot when I broke it off at the ankle. It comes up occasionally and the link is still usable years later. You also have more control over visibility (and posting to Imgur users etc, ie don’t).

  For throwaway memes you’ll never want to share again, treating it like a url shortener is great.

  I’m so old I remember the first post. Hey you can host images for reddit here. The other image hosting sites at the time sucked, they were slow, purged content frequently, and were full of ads. I signed up immediately and imgur was good for almost 10 years and nearly the only place images from reddit reddit users were hosted. I think the pressure to monetize combined with reddit’s own image hosting push sent them into the enshitification death spiral.

  Buy drugs, wear your seatbelt, don’t speed, obey the road rules, be white. These are the secrets to not being pulled over with drugs in your car.

  Only break one law at a time.

  Or the government sets up an age verification service that doesn’t store logs and only reports numbers in aggregate. The restricted site sends you and a unique id off to the government service, you verify there and it hands back the id & a yes/no token to the site.
