Reddit has been doing that sorta stuff for ages as A/B testing, so depending on the wind direction and how you hold your tongue, you may get different results when you load Reddit. Especially if you're not logged in. I thank the people who make the various extensions I have installed for...

The impeachment was triggered by a lone Republican, so the Democrats didn't exactly aim for this to happen.

He's so brave to come out and say the things that everyone knew 10 years ago.

But lo, a ray of hope! The election is officially too close to call. The current ruling coalition potentially has a 1 seat majority, but the special votes (overseas votes, etc) have yet to be counted. They could potentially swing the vote back to the left. We could possibly end up with a hung...

I realise I haven't really been keeping this thread up with events. Early voting has started here, but the polls are, as always, inconclusive over who is likely to win. The most recent event of note is that Green and Te Parti Maori candidates were photographed meeting with Mongrel Mob...

Thing is, YouTube tracks watch time, so if they're uploading 20 minute videos with the new episode on the start and a bunch of other stuff after it, then all the Transformers fans just watch the first 5 minutes and then leave, they're going to end up with YouTube seeing "oh, everyone watched the...

Those posts are about the Democrats fundraising. It says so on the graphics posted.
