The context of this sign being in a sushi restaurant would be the key here. In higher-end, "omakase" sushi restaurants, you'll be served a set of sushi piece by piece as the chef makes it in front of you. Typically you'll want to eat it as soon as it is placed on your plate.

I'm right handed and still have really shitty handwriting.

F is the eighth letter, "of"

It certainly doesn't subtract from the experience, that's for sure.

As someone currently hunting rentals in Calgary: single minimum wage earners, even a bit above minimum wage, are quickly losing their future here. If I made less than I do (about 3100) I would find it very difficult to find a place unless I'm rooming with more people than there are bedrooms.

People working remotely on median-level incomes trying to escape the GTA or Metro Vancouver will find it great though.

It could be leftover credit that people are using up. There's a fair bit of it floating around, giving awards used to give points too so it's hard to say if anyone actually gave them money to give the gold.

As a note for Jerboa users: the above link may instantly crash the app. At least, it does for me.

I'm of the opinion that it has a time and a place, but I do agree that it's exceptionally intrusive to the site's normal experience and should be very rare and short-lived. Any more than a day and its runs afoul of the people who just aren't interested.

Not literally take over a subreddit, takeover advertising campaigns are typically a high-key screen space domination type of advertising. Think of something like a video games news site where the homepage is completely covered in advertising for a new, high budget game. Ads at the top, ads at the bottom, ads in the normally-empty margins, and often a focus on articles about the subject.

How that reflects to Reddit I'd never know, it's likely something that's exclusive to the newer layout that I have no interest in using.
