What was reddit like in the 1920s?

TIL reading Reddit can literally suck the marrow from your bones

Airliners aren't safe because of the chance of surviving a crash, they're safe because the chance of a crash is so completely remote compared to every other form of transportation used by humans.

Flying is inherently dangerous. Airline pilots are simply extremely well trained and regulated.

If only airline pilots were the only ones allowed to drive cars the fatal accident rate with automobiles would probably be about a millionth of what it is now. If your average idiot was flying an aircraft, it'd be extremely dangerous, and that's why private pilots are so likely to kill themselves and their friends when flying.

While I'm not a fan of superficial people in general, is it really fair to call people superficial or shallow for doing things like not asking people on dates they don't find attractive?

There seems to be this weird sentiment on Reddit and elsewhere that people should be dating others exclusively for their personalities, which is of course absurd for anyone entering into a sexual relationship. Calling people shallow for not wanting to enter a sexual relationship with someone they have no sexual attraction to?

To me, it seems like calling gay dudes misogynists for refusing to date women. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

Ideally you'd get the surgery when you were only say, 100 pounds overweight, not 650 pounds overweight.
