Ridiculous. The thread is discussing Chinese espionage.

You didn’t used to have to append the operator to find what you were looking for. People only started doing it because the relevance of Google search results declined.

I can see why you would think that based on the low quality commentary you provide here, but you’re wrong.

People who participate in forums share their insights for free and resent the friction that a paywall adds to information being diffused.

> Wait, how does Google fit in with it?

A lot of people ended up on Reddit because they learned that they could append site:Reddit.com to their searches to get better results. Reddit was never exceptionally well-managed or technically impressive, it was just accessible in search results in a way that platforms like Facebook and Twitter became increasingly hostile to in the mid-2010s.

If the Chinese create such desirable societies, why is it that so many of them are eager to leave China in order to live in the Anglosphere? Why is it that there is no equivalent flow of migrants out of the Anglosphere into China?

This is why courtiers were provided with state-mandated GFs for all of human history up until about 40 years ago.

This was Nietzsche’s chief criticism of Christianity. It is also a good summary of Reddit morality where social rejects build an inverted status pyramid. It’s amazing how Google made a few bad decisions on Search and it led to some of the most maladjusted people on earth becoming the internet’s point of reference for what is normal.

“You all” is distinct from “y’all.” The former is atypical but doesn’t sound weird, the latter was appropriated by turbo-liberals in the mid-2010s to signal that they listen to Kendrick Lamar.

You appear to be German so I will assume you lack the cultural context to understand why these two things are not comparable. Asking someone born outside of the deep south to refer to a group of people as “y’all” is so absurd my immediate assumption would be that my coworker was playing a joke on me.
