Should you ever find yourself in a situation where you were gifted tickets to a desert-based music festival, first of all, consider sending those tickets over this way, but if you prefer to be selfish, here’s what you’ll need to survive.

I’m sure I have more advice for you, but for now, here’s what you missed in the news yesterday.
The State Of The Union, But For Real This Time
President Donald Trump has spent the last two years of his time in office busy with quite a bit of presidential tasks, many of which the American people hasn’t seen in quite some time. Specifically, he shutdown parts of the federal government for over one month in retaliation for the Democratic leadership’s refusing to acquiesce to his demands for nearly $6 billion in funding to build a wall along the US-Mexico border.
Following Trump’s deliverance of his State of the Union, Americans will have a much clearer vision of how he will spend the remaining year-and-a-half of his presidency. President Trump has made it abundantly clear that he is staunchly against illegal immigration and will do everything in his power to keep anyone who isn’t a citizen far away from American soil.
Reddit Or Not, Here They Come!
Reddit was founded back in 2005 by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian with the idea of creating a site that resembled the front page of a major newspaper, but rather than solely current events, the content of the site would be anything and everything trending on the internet. Per current statistics, Reddit boasts an online community of 330 million monthly active users who follow the site’s some 150,000 Subreddits.
A Subreddit is a condensed, more specific section of the site, dedicated to a certain topic or idea. Some Subreddits include “r/AskReddit,” “r/mildyinteresting,” and virtually any category you could possibly imagine, and at least several you wouldn’t dare admit to your friends about searching for. All in all, if you haven’t used the site, you’re truly missing out because when you think about it, there’s so much information on the internet, and Reddit allows users to find what they need all in one location.
In recent news, the front page of the internet is looking to raise somewhere between $150 million to $300 million to keep its virtual doors open to users, according to TechCrunch. Per several sources, the upcoming Series D round of funding is reportedly being captained by Chinese tech behemoth Tencent at a $2.7 billion pre-money valuation. In 2018, the site garnered significant investor attention when Reddit’s leadership team decided to sell cost per click ads in addition to users spending money to boost certain posts, cost per impressions, as well as video ads.
