My main takeaway is: Alexis Ohanian (Reddit's u/kn0thing) is married to Serena Williams???

@db0 The sad thing is I know a lot of people that would pay that without thinking twice

Sounds like an internet binary question. I choose the blue/black bear named Yanni to debate a horse sized duck ballerina that only rotates left about whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich

about whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich

"44000 aggregate work-hours destroyed in eagleeast areas this morning following a dramatic workplace incident that developed after a worker sent a slack message to team members that they were getting a 'bun sandwich'. tensions escalated as community groups got involved"

no no he meant a banh sandwich. Like a banh mi. It’s practically a homophone.

Choices choices, improve my dating life for 2500 bucks, or improve my investing life for 2500 bucks. And even worse, they all have sites that tell me I only have 30 minutes to decide to take this limited time offer! (I doubt Intro does that latter part, but it certainly was one of those evil tricks they used in the past).

E: Lol, looked up the app (at least I think I did, there are a lot of things called 'Intro') and saw a review (from 2020) on the apple store by a 'relationship expert' (who smartly used the review to promote their own site, very grift mindset, well done).
