there are plenty of jokes about the gayness of a man eating out a woman

Ummm.

Those two things are opposites

a man in his twenties broke through the Jet d’eau’s security barrier and put his head on the nozzle. He was then thrown violently backwards.

After coming to his senses, the young man tried to hang on to the jet. A gesture which earned him to be propelled several meters high before falling on the slab.

It starts literally 2 sentences in, you can't find it?

Not wanting to eat out their significant other isn't necessarily correlated to toxic masculinity; I think you're conflating two different things. It's possible to be selfish completely unrelated to toxic masculinity. Not every instance of a male doing something wrong is attributable to toxic masculinity.

Shouldn't the vacuum insulate the glass from the heat of the burning filament?

You wish you'd never have switched from Friendster?

Not commenting = not providing The Verge with any information, so The Verge doesn't have anything that comes directly from reddit that could reflect negatively on them.

Reddit only reaching out when a correction is needed is done in bad faith. The hope is that, by saying "you got this wrong, which is not surprising because none of the information you're getting is coming directly from reddit," the reader comes to the conclusion that The Verge isn't reliable and nothing they publish about this topic should be trusted.

By printing that statement, The Verge is undercutting reddit's attempt to discredit them. It basically tells the reader: "If we got something wrong it's because reddit has decided that it's more important to hope we make a mistake (that they will try to make into a big deal), rather than communicate clearly to make sure the true story gets published accurately." In other words, reddit hopes The Verge screws up, so they can spin things and convince people to believe reddit instead of believing The Verge. The Verge is saying "we see the game you're playing and we're not gonna play it. And we're telling everyone that you're trying to play this stupid game.
