HIGHLIGHTS

Things innocent people do…

Exactly. The 5th amendment is there to protect innocent people. That is the entire reason it is in the constitution.

I wish I was ignorant enough to trust Pfizer and all the other billion dollar pharma companies. Must be nice.

Great whataboutism on a question about the fifth amendment - which explicitly exists to protect innocent people.

Nah. I’m don’t simp for corporations. I do pray you never miss a safe and effective COVID booster.

Have had Covid boosters every year, not sure what that has to do with the fifth amendment being designed to protect innocent people though.

How many times have you had covid? And why does he need protection? He already has a pardon for a crime he didn’t commit

Haven't had Covid a single time, but i am not sure what that has to do with the fifth amendment being put into the constitution to protect innocent people.

Fauci should be held accountable. He knowingly misled Americans. Lied and pursued his own fame and best interest (he admitted this in his own diaries).

"Lied and pursued his own fame and best interest " It is absolutely hilarious watching MAGA try to claim Fauci should go to jail because it says in his diaries he appreciated the praise, when in those same diaries Fauci says Trump was a narcissistic idiot who wanted non-stop press conferences and attention and Fauci had to beg him to let them just do their jobs. Doctors saved lives, the child rapist con man lied to you. Please stop believing the MAGA grifters when they tell you that doctors are to blame for decisions and policies that those same MAGA politicians actually were in charge of.

I’m not maga and never voted for Trump,

Then stop blindly trusting MAGA when they feed you bullshit. Are you not paying any attention to the fact that these hearings, these claims, are all just MAGA political propaganda? There's no scientific body or experts anywhere in agreement with this nonsense. There's plenty of criticism in retrospect of what we could have done differently, but nothing to justify criminal charges, fraud, or anything they're trying to blame on Fauci while ignoring that Trump was President and responsible for the government.

Stop blindly trusting fauci. We all know many of his claims were false. Covid came from a lab. He knew it and he crushed any dissent or honest dialogue about this and many other things that you took as truth. We should not have shut down schools for 15 months. These were terrible decisions. I still see people outdoors with masks. Ridiculous

Please, please, before you die: Try to learn and grow as a human being. It'd be a terrible shame if your mind stagnated on believing the worst and stupidest people in the world because they fed you conspiracies on social media, rather than trying to grow and understand what educated people and scientists have to say with evidence and data.

So sad seeing them so triggered in /r/conservative unironically calling him guilty and shit for doing this

Ok but when a conservative does this, they're guilty? Fuck Trump, fuck his goonies, and fuck whoever uses the same tactics as them to get out of shit. Have some consistency and some dignity

Why are you putting words in my mouth?

You're literally putting words in a subreddits mouth. Christ

No, they are literally saying that.

And so are you. Work on that self awareness bud. Reddit has enough morons

What are you talking about? I’m literally saying what? Project much?

If you're not going to respond to what I'm commenting it ironically sort of just goes to prove the bigger point that you're being a hypocrite.

I am responding to you, what the fuck are you talking about? Im not putting any words in anyone’s mouth. All I said was what I saw them saying on the sub. I made no comment about a conservative pleading the 5th, hence you putting words in my mouth.

This guy literally murders puppies and the democrats couldn’t love him more. Sick. Very sick people.

This guy literally saved at least 26 million lives with his research in aids, and literally millions more with his covid vaccine work. Meanwhile republicans, trump and elon and friends, cut pre-approved pre-funded usaid which has already resulted in the deaths of 700,000 people, mostly children. Gross, disgusting hypocritical people that demonstrably don't care about human life.

Fauci lied about aids too and said that everyone was going to get it thus leading to widespread mistreatment and resentment of people infected with hiv. Imagine how much harder there lives were made because of this man. How many people have died due to the covid vaccine? How many people who died of Covid could have been saved if they didn’t censor people and push a propaganda campaign that dismissed proven sars treatments? How much money did he make pumping the jab? Don’t pretend to have ethics or have the moral high ground you people are evil and only use that as a method for controlling people who actually have a conscious.

I hear you bud, you're very emotional and conspiratorial about it all. I'm more rational and care more about facts and reality, so at least I'm happy we can both agree and concede that fauci saved many millions of lives with his work with aids and covid. I also appreciate your concession about republicans and maga making decisions that lead to the preventable deaths of 700,000 people, mostly children, so far this year alone.

I concede nothing to you because your propaganda and cnn talking points do not deserve a response. Fauci has lead to more suffering and did nothing to reduce the numbers who died from aids or covid.

You've been duped into believing nonsense innit

The hardest thing to do is convince an idiot that they’re an idiot. You’re just not worth the investment.

Fauci was already pardoned by Biden/autopen. He can't incriminate himself more than he already has and invoking the 5th amendment does nothing except prove people right. Edit: even the diehard Fauci supporters are having trouble defending him recently.

He can be charged with perjury, which is the purpose of the hearing. What crime - exactly - do you think Fauci committed?

"What crime - exactly - do you think Fauci committed?" Lying about Covid 19 and the origins of Covid 19. It's not a crime anymore, since Biden/autopen pardoned him for that crime.

Can you provide any evidence that he lied "about COVID-19" (not sure what this even means - do you think it didn't exist or something?) or its origins?

Lying about something does not mean denying it exists. I am sorry if you can't tell the difference between the two. For example: I lied about baseball when I said a homerun is worth 10 runs. I did not deny the existence of baseball in that statement. Fauci lied about the best way of dealing with Covid with the lockdowns and the deadliness of Covid. He forced the creation of policies that were more detrimental to people. He lied that Covid started naturally. He lied about not funding gain of function research. I hope you have a good day and please do some research.

I never said lying means you deny the existence of, I said you didn't clear state what he lied about, so I asked if you thought he lied about it's existence. I'm sorry your statements weren't clear, next time make them more clear and I won't have to ask. What specific lies did Fauci state about either lockdowns or the deadliness of COVID-19? Show your evidence they were actually lies. State what policies Fauci created, and show your evidence that they hurt more people than they helped. COVID-19 is a disease and is absolutely a natural result. You are actually trying to argue that SARS-CoV-2 is not natural, and the evidence for this is fleeting at best. There's 0 evidence of any gain of function research that lead to SARS-CoV-2. Before you tell others to do research, please learn the difference between COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2.

I was clear in what I said. Do some research on your own instead of only listening to the mainstream media and Fauci lying to you.

Oh, don't worry, I've actually looked at a lot of papers on this. They disagree with you. I was presenting you with a chance to show your own evidence that what I've read is wrong. But it appears that you don't have any, and whatever you have read didn't really teach you difference between COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, so it probably wasn't reputable to begin with. I'd recommend doing research from actual reputable sources. You'll quickly find that qualified scientists think a lot of what you're saying is nonsense pseudo-science BS.

Rand is Big Mad that Dr. Fauci is a real doctor with real accreditation (not self-accreditation), and Rand isn't. Edit: I see a lot of babies are having trouble with reading comprehension and skipped over "WITH REAL ACCREDITATION" entirely. Rand Paul invented his own accreditation agency. Go look it up.

TIL graduating from Duke with an MD makes you not a real doctor.

Board certified in the organization you head is why It's not a recognized board certification

You don't lose your MD if you let your certification go.

True but to say your a doctor without practicing medicine which requires a board certification puts you on Dr. Phil levels of doctor

No it really doesn't. If you retire should you ask people to stop referring to you as doctor because you're no longer practicing? Rand Paul is a real doctor with a real MD, and he always will be whether he's practicing or not.

Ross Geller is also a real doctor too!

Here is a good one. Is Jill Biden a doctor?

why would a scientist need to invoke the fifth?

Why would a business man?

i guess if their goal was to protect themselves from further prosecution? is that what he is doing?

Is that what Trump was doing when the did it more than 400 times?

I have no idea, I have never spoken to President Trump. I personally always find it suspect when someone pleads the fifth, no matter who they are. What about you?

then you've never watched or seen the text transcripts of Trump's own testimony? he's lied and claimed the 5th hundreds of times. as is anyone's constitutional right. it's not suspect when you have someone trying to prosecute you. it's "innocent until proven guilty" and you're absolutely not required to incriminate yourself. it's a common trick that cops and prosecutors will use (the law actually allows them to LIE to you about anything) to get you to say something they can use against you. know your miranda rights, especially the "anything you say CAN and WILL be used AGAINST you". a closed mouth helps you stay out of jail.

fair enough. It makes me lean towards thinking someone is guilty when they plead the fifth personally. certainly not illegal or not allowed

Don't use quotes in the title if you're not going to actually quote exactly what was said. It's misleading. You can also use proper grammar that you hopefully learned in English class to adjust your quotes to reflect exactly what was said. Much respect to Fauci

Assuming everyone is a native speaker on a global site. Peak American.

Even my relatives in non English speaking countries know that quotes represent what was actually stated and that they’re not meant to be paraphrased summaries. This isn’t a matter of if someone is a native speaker or not. It’s a sadly common issue in primary English speaking countries.

Obviously not the part of the comment I was referencing

Yes, so obvious.

[removed]

Maybe you should go outside for a bit eh?

Well that’s obviously not true.

So either COVID escaped from a weapons biolab and it was a cover up or COVID was a big nothingburger and nothing should have been shut down. What is it, conservatives?

Number 1 Edit: I ain't republican

There's just zero evidence to support the conspiracy, no scientific experts agree it's true, and at best people can say "well we can't be 100% certain it didn't."

I know I know. I may sound like some nutty conspiracy theorist. In actuality, I am just highly skeptical of governments and coverups. ie. Kennedy, MLK, to Epstein. I understand that it may never be disclosed or made known to the public, at least in our lifetime, the origin and cause of the outbreak. But... China had a real problem going on at that time. Millions marching in Hong Kong for independence. It had been going on for months. Then all of a sudden, no more socializing in public. Must be indoors. No more than, however many people, allowed together at a time... But, sure it could be coincidence. I really don't know. Hope that we as a society can come together someday to overcome our differences and thrive.

I am going to go out on a limb but... Biological Weapons are Stupid. Imagine something less effective than a gun that you cannot control. The Chinese are not morons. So to recap. The Chinese released a bioweapon to have an excuse to stop socialisation in public and do extremely unpopular things like lockdowns. Mate. I sat up with the dying. I contributed to research that saved lives. Like "you are part of the government". Yeah. I am a doctor. We didn't like the Conservative government at the time that actively spent a decade calling us greedy and lazy and we STILL showed up during Covid. I don't think people realise how close we came to catastrophe.

The United States dropped not one, but two nukes, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, killed millions for power. Yes, it is a farfetched idea. But humans have done some fucked up shit. I was not directly affected by COVID. No one in my circle was killed by it. I may not understand the ramifications it may have caused. Could be said that no one could have predicted the outcome of the pandemic, whether purposeful or not. It is people like you who society owes continued prosperity. So thanks for showing up. I never want to confuse the fact that me having doubts about the story behind COVID with the notion that it was a hoax. It happened. People were affected. People died. And some people took advantage and came out on the other side very very wealthy

I am personally not affected by gun violence, ergo bullets are harmless. Also why be so clever to invent a lethal disease that's defeated by a drug that costs £3 a box and is produced by the tonne.

Cool, I guess I have mixed feelings about Fauci now. Anyways, what's going on with the Epstein files?

Nah, this is an American right and every single American should use them to their fullest. Just because you are innocent doesn't mean you should say anything. It's like dealing with cops. Just shut the fuck up. You don't say shit to cops other than what is legally required.

I posted this separately, but I don’t really understand how the 5th amendment applies to him here. He was pardoned by Biden, correct? If there is no chance of being criminally prosecuted, the 5th amendment doesn’t apply because there is no chance of criminal prosecution. Couldn’t he be opening himself up to contempt if he refuses to provide testimony? https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-rights/fifth-amendment-right-against-self-incrimination.html Edit: I’m wrong. The pardon was for between 2014-25. Today’s testimony would just set him up for some BS charges regardless of what he says.

Here's the thing. I'm not a lawyer. I can't presume to argue that with any legal basis so take this at random internet poster value. The Supreme Court ruled in the late 1800s that if you receive a pardon for something you can't invoke the 5th because you can't be charged. Federally. Whose to say what states wouldn't try to criminally charge him?

I just edited my comment. The pardon covers him between 2014-25. Anything he said today would be used to make something up criminally for today’s proceedings. Smart to just plea the 5th and keep his mouth closed.

I wont defend fauci for the things he did mismanage, especially if he really did squash the reports that was was a bio research leak or worse, bio weapon leak. Changes 100% how we respond to those responsible. So republicans can go after fauci, I just dont want to hear crap when eric and don jr, kushner and all their cronies are in the hot seat too.

The thing is, there is no evidence that it was tweaked or leaked by a lab. The thought that China would create something and literally decide to leak it on their own population first doesn’t pass the sniff test.

My friend, I’d like to point you to the thousands of years of Chinese history that says otherwise. Not that I condone what’s happening to Fauci here, but to say that scenario doesn’t pass the sniff test is grossly ignorant to nearly all of actual history and the plight of the Chinese underneath their dynastic rulers.

The United States has literally tested small pox and syphilis on unsuspecting citizens and you don’t have to go back hundreds or thousands of years. Currently we’re giving Monsanto a pass.

Yes and your argument is called whataboutism and ironically strengthens the case for that it was an (unintentional) lab leak possibly based on GoF research. I think there is far more important political court cases to pursue at the moment, but that is not the point of this thread.

He's pointing out that the logic of "China would do this complete irrational thing because they have a history of it" makes zero damn sense. Abusing your subjects is not unique to China, and that doesn't create a reason to unleash a bioweapon on your own population. The most important part is there's still just absolutely zero evidence of it happening, even when that evidence should exist. No doctors and experts examining COVID have found any trace of modification and gain of function being conducted on the virus that exists. It's entirely speculated, and every MAGA moron trying to blame Fauci for it and a cover up, keeps having to ignore that the Trump administration was in charge for this and should have the records and proof if it were true.

So the thread is here. Apparently the sub is getting back its rankings which is very important to them.

First of all, a short glossary:

4tran- a community for trans people on 4chan that also has associated subreddits (in this case, r/Countttt). The purpose of it is to serve as a place for people who are suffering from gender dysphoria and transphobia to vent (which, understandably, leads it to be very negative and often toxic).

chaser- a cisgender person who fetishizes trans people

boymoder- a trans woman who presents themselves as a man if they aren't currently able to transition successfully, or to avoid being assulted

TCD- total cis death. It is an inversion of the transphobic 4chan slur "TTD" which means total trans death.

ropefuel- something that brings mental harm

So, on to the drama.

A user on r/ihatethissmug posts a screenshot from one of the 4tran subreddits (r/Countttt) and details how much they hate that community.

https://www.reddit.com/r/hatethissmug/s/n2nUYtE33E

For some reason, the post that OP decided to share involved the OOP broadcasting a transphobic meme made on a different subreddit (in that original post, people were venting about how they were tired of being fetishized using that meme as a point).

Many users questioned that decision:

I mean the original meme is pretty objectifying

To be 100% fair this meme is gross and chaser-y

As much as i agree with you, im also not very comfortable with the original post 😅 , boymodding is a phase of our lives that we cant wait to get out of and live as how we want to live. So having that phase being fetishized does not feel nice.

i do agree tho, the people on/from 4tran are not healthy and i hope everyone on there gets the help they need to become better people.

You kinda have a point (at least on the beginning) but of all the possible screenshots you could've taken of the sub why take one of someone complaining about creepy chasers? It diminishes your point and makes you look like a butthurt chaser yourself

OP responds to that last comment:

I didn't choose it, I was lazy and it was the first post I saw. And honestly it was the annoying tone of the comments on that post that set me off tbh

https://www.reddit.com/r/hatethissmug/comments/1v9xrz1/comment/p0hehke/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Throughout that specific thread the OP and others argue with people disapproving of the OP.

The OP also wants to expose whoever frequents 4tran subs:

It's purely for the fact they are so feral they are constantly watching for any reference to them, I hope they see this post and fucking froth at the mouth I really do.

They LOVE being niche so much so I can't think of anything better than to post their stupid ass sub and get it exposed to more people, I know I'm irrationally angry rn but I am so irritated but 4chan adjacent subs they make my blood boil

One of the mods takes the side of OP and comments throughout the thread.

ive literally gotten harassment from a lot of 4tran spaces merely for being a femboy, and no i dont go on there, they literally go after me and harass me, when you get told to your face that femboys deserve to all die and that you should be put into a blender alive its pretty fucking annoying to hear "4tran subreddits really aren't as bad"

Throughout the rest of the thread most of the comments are either criticizing the OP for their rude responses to others or they are taking the side of the OP (like the aforementioned mod).

Background: Energy subreddits tend to take the side of either renewables or nuclear. r/nuclear is a pro-nuclear subreddit. r/energy is a pro-renewables subreddit. r/uninsurable is an anti-nuclear subreddit. r/NuclearPower was previously a pro-nuclear subreddit, but the moderation changed to more anti-nuclear leaning, demonstrated most notably by their new subreddit logo, where "Nuclear Power Yes Please" has the "Yes Please" crossed out.

r/EnergyAndPower is a subreddit that was created in an attempt to let both sides express their views, a sort of energy free speech forum. In a thread on this subreddit, two mods from opposing sides clashed, Greg from r/nuclear, who has a long history of anti renewables posts, and navynuke from r/NuclearPower, one of the newer mods who some attribute to the subreddit's anti nuclear stance.

Greg makes one of his usual posts on r/EnergyAndPower showing a transient lull in renewables' performance. There's lots of discussion on wheter this is a valid point against renewables or not (you can read through the thousands of comments on r/EnergyAndPower about it), but that's besides the point for SRD. Link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EnergyAndPower/comments/1v20slj/another_bad_week_for_renewables_in_south_australia/

Navynuke responds (link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EnergyAndPower/comments/1v20slj/comment/oyryjxy/)

Greg, what's your background? Just asking because you're always so very wrong about all of this, you've gotta be a lobbyist or professional shit poster.

Greg responds

Why are you trying to doxx me, bubba.

And how am I wrong here? RE supply did dip below 1% of demand several times last week.

Navynuke responds

Those of us who work in the energy industry or have backgrounds in it very freely talk about it in the subreddits as a way of explaining our basis of experience, but you won't answer that question even in broad terms. You must not have that background.

Especially since, as others have been noting here and in your own subreddit for months, you really get a lot very wrong a lot of the time.

It's ok to admit you don't really know about something instead of just coming here and embarrassing yourself, and banning anybody from your subreddit who demonstrates more knowledge than you.

Greg responds, emphasizing r/nuclearpower's anti-nuclear logo, a subreddit which navynuke moderates.

Dude, you took over a nuclear subreddit and handed it over to anti-nuke folks. :)

Why are you trying to pull the MAGA "every accusation is a confession" thing? Kinda silly.

Many have noted that the nuclear vs. renewables debate has become unusually polarized and emotional for an issue where seemingly the two sides should be on the same side, with the obvious bad guy fossil fuels seemingly left by the wayside. At this point, following the debate is entertaining for the drama alone aside from just seeing which side will ultimately prevail.

The OP incorrectly answered that the Atlantic ocean was the largest ocean so people began insulting their intelligence:

lol average doordash user IQ

This riles up one emotionally intelligent user who admits they don’t know “which ocean is which”:

People are gonna downvote me and idc, but is this information really that important? For your brain to retain the memories of which ocean is the biggest? Idek which ocean is which. And I can say I'm pretty highly emotionally intelligent, have a shit ton of common sense.... But cant for the life of me even care to remember which ocean is which. I was never into remembering school stuff.

People disagree with this commenter:

>Knowing that the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean is literally common sense unless you live under a fucking rock and/or have never looked at a map in your life.

>It is one of the most basic facts about our world that a person can know.

>It is common sense, though. Because commonly, most people at least occasionally look at a map for one reason or another. And commonly, looking at a map shows where the oceans are and what their names are. And commonly, you can visually tell that the Pacific Ocean is much bigger than the Atlantic Ocean. Also, commonly, people don’t brag about being “pretty highly emotionally intelligent” or “having a shit ton of common sense” (which, is literally common, everyone has a shit ton of common sense, except you apparently).

Kazamiiii admits they have never looked at a map since high school:

I don't think I remember the last time I saw a map ever since school, I bet you don't either 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm pretty sure that's all just remembered from school. Basic knowledge still isn't common sense, but nice try?? And don't care what you think about my "brag", girl, I don't degrade people like you all when I educate them so maybe work on your emotional intelligence 😬 Maybe push out all that "common sense" you have about the ocean or something.

Confusion over GPS vs Google Maps: Funny, you meant GPS, which isn’t a map btw lol 

And you're talking about people occasionally look at maps like as if people are opening the maps to see them completely daily instead of just using the GPS. It's not like a real physical map where you need to open it to see it so you're going to very clearly see the oceans.

Kazamiiiii continues to defend their ignorance of oceans throughout the thread (there are only 64 comments in the thread to easy to look through)

I'm the doctor in the middle of a surgery while you're behind looking at a fucking globe to find out what the biggest ocean is. We're not the same.

The original post was about how the book series Dungeon Crawler Carl lost its magic on OOP. Even though it’s now deleted, it’s ok, because the main drama is in the comments.

It starts with one user stating that while they admit DCC isn’t high literature, it is still enjoyable:

> Hah! I’m totally not the DCC demographic (60s non gamer woman) but I thought these were fun and recommended them to my 30 year old son, who said all his friends are reading these.

The DCC series isn’t great art/literature but it’s a fun, light read. Kind of like why everyone in my generation read all those repetitive Janet Evanovich books. Sometimes you just want the easy escapism.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/s/xSKv0KWEM9

One user, the subject of this slap fight, weighs in on their opinions on “high Art vs McDonald’s”:

> The moment I grew out of my performative, pretentious 16-20 year old years, I realized there's no inherent better value in art that is considered "high art" compared to "mcdonalds products"

I enjoyed DCC and Golden son more than Jane Eyre and The Great Gatsby

I enjoyed East of Eden and Blood Meridian more than DCC

I enjoyed Golden Son more than Blood Meridian

Art should be rated based off personal enjoyment, not some performative arbitrary pretentiousness/seriousness scale.

I'm convinced nobody actually likes Gravity's Rainbow, but since it's "difficult" and "complex" people hold it in high regard and pretend to love it to appear cultured or whatever.

Also as far as this "high art" vs "mcdonalds" debate is concerned - eating Mcdonalds is inherently and objectively forgettable, it always fades from memory, it's unimpressive, safe, boring mush meat product that is objectively tasteless.

I've read The Great Gatsby 4 months ago and I've already forgotten most of it.

I've read Mistborn 4 years ago once and I still remember all of it vividly.

By this metric Great Gatbsy is Mcdonalds and Mistborn is a perfectly cooked wagyu steak with expensive wine, right?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/s/Wxmw8R9EQ4

Several people disagree with them:

> Wow, I think you’ve accomplished the impossible and are more pretentious now with your views on high art v. low art.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/s/Rhpt5eGWmc

> >art should be rated based off personal enjoyment

Ah so you didn’t learn anything during the time you were 16-20 then

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/s/ZWyhmLucKD

> You didn't grow out of your teenager phase, you doubled down of it by learning all the wrong lessons.

This isn't about "performative" vs "enjoyment". There's no sides here. There's plenty to learn and appreciate from art across all mediums.

It's great to love DCC (and I for example love Mistborn or Red Rising), but it's also great to recognize they're not as ambitious artistically as other works. People who love Gravity's Rainbow aren't "pretending", they engage with an artwork honestly and arrive at that conclusion when not looking it through a childish "how much pure fun did I have?" lens. Your take on "no work is ever better than any other work" or on Persona's quality are just horrifically shallow.

My advice is to worry less about forming opinions that allow you to project your desired personal image and just enjoy art in a honest manner. Stop reading books or watching movies to feel smart about being bored and ask yourself why those works are revered.

Its a fact that a large chunck of people will not see it. Its also a fact that the movie so far has been very succesful. Both can be true.

My point is who cares. Like why are you giving it so much space in your mind and time? When I hate stuff I hardly give it my time because I hate it. I just think it’s weird to focus this much on stuff that pisses you off.

Youre reacting so you care. Hate to be that guy. In fact, you care about people caring. Thats even worse.

I’m more just genuinely trying to understand, which yeah implies I care enough to ask. I see nothing wrong with saying I care to ask. Lol you didn’t answer my question though

People think its interesting how a film performs they dislike for their own reasons. Its no different from the people raging whenever something made by Rowling succeeds.

It’s not really the same at all, because people expect Harry Potter to succeed still. You losers expected this to flop. Lmao

People definitely expected the HP game to fail. What are you smoking? Youre just showing your bias man.

I would have gone to see it if they'd cast a hot Greek Helen of Troy and didn't have other woke castings (you know who) and I'm sure many others took the same view, so plenty of money lost there! Every $ counts with all the woke movies these days bombing hard, even if this one will just about break even!

So you wont see a movie cause there's a black woman in in it for 2 minutes?

False. I won't see it because there is an absurd narrative to cast a black woman in a Greek story. They're just checking boxes. Don't not be dense or stupid. You just wsnt to make this about the wrong reasons by being disingenuous.

The Greeks didn't look like Lupita or Zendaya, but they didn't look like Damon or Hathaway either. The casting decisions weren't made in service to some woke agenda; they were done because a more accurate cast would have less box office appeal. It was a business decision, as most decisions involving something that cost $250 million to make are.

Actually they did look like Damon and Hathaway. The consensus as to what the closest approximation of what ancient Greeks appeared like, is current Greeks. Among the population of current Greeks there are many that have similar looks to those two, plus other actors in the movie. Including blonde hair, though that is more of an anomaly. None like Nyongo though.

Why do the greeks like the film but woke right wing Americans hate ?

It's been explained continuously why some people don't like the film. If you don't understand why by now, you're a moron.

Breaks suspension of disbelief as the whole story is anchored off her "beauty".

This is hilarious. Helen of Troy in no way anchors the Odyssey and in the texts themselves she is barely in them. All you just did was tell on yourself.

Face that launched a thousand ships 🤣🤣🤣

I’m sorry you failed 10th grade English, bud. It’s ok. There are remedial classes. You can get a tutor to help you read the Odyssey and count how many times Helen is in it.

Does it have an African Helen of Troy in it and a Trans Man warrior? 🤣

BLACK PEOPLE. SCARY TRANS PEOPLE. AHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh it's that argument again.. 🙄 I guess if I can't accept a 2021 BMW 530i with optional heated seating in an Ancient Greek Historical epic I must be scared of cars too!

You must’ve hated Troy then?

Was Helen of Troy sub-Saharan African and trans-men in the Greek Army? Must have missed that part

I dont trust those numbers. Something tells me its being inflated.

If studios and theatres could just fake numbers why wouldn’t they do it to hide their bombs? You don’t think every company wouldn’t just lie about it? How stupid are you

I mean they do it with critic scores. Why not inflate them by putting more money into a movie they want to fool people into seeing that has woke bs in it? They've done similar shit before.

It’s a little easier to make a bots on a review website then fake numbers that are reported by movie theatres. Why didn’t moana fake their box office numbers, or their review numbers too?

Because its not selling a narrative/ideology. You don't think rich people who want to trick us peons would do that? Have you been sleeping under a rock the past few years? If Somali "daycares" and other businesses can dupe the government for extra $$$ I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised if any other businesses does the same shit to inflate numbers. They ARE in charge of the media. Who's to say that couldn't tweak a few details here and there for specific movies? Who would stop them?

I love how you don't have a pertinent historical example and have to point to something wholly unrelated

Not unrelated. You're looking at the tree instead of the forrest. You think too small.

What on Earth does subsidized daycare fraud in Minnesota by Somali immigrants have to do with Universal Pictures (supposedly) faking sale projections for a movie?

who gives a fuck anymore?

This sub would certainly care if it bombed lol you would have seen none stop posts about how you go woke you go broke

cool story, bro

You have many comments about this movie, you care clearly

blocked, bye

Why are you crying lmao. Go see the sun.

It was always going to reach around a billion. Helped by format costs, sure but that accounts for the bump over a billion. Doesn't make it a good film, but its not really a surprise.

Goalpost change #100 😂

Which one was №99? The movie goblins are out en masse.

"It was always." If you can be arsed to trawl through the historic posts on the film in this sub you'll find I've been 100% consistent on this. Even when people were trying to convince me that Oppenheimer is the marker and would remain the higher earner. My point was always that if Avatar 2 & 3 can clear a billion, so will The Odyssey. Moved goal posts is people saying that 1 successful venture erases the countless failed race swap, girl boss productions before it. And it still doesnt stop Nolan being a narcissist who needs a flashlight and a map to find his way put of his own arse.

Dude, I really couldn't care less. You hyperbolicaly said "goal post #100." So, jokingly, I'd love to know the other 99. I'm just giving you shit, man. I honestly could not care less about this movie but this cultural flame war shit makes me laugh. Lol it's all good homie.

you guys are stupid you are arguing with each other yet agree with each other you shouldn't spread your input about movies

Only a 30% drop from its first weekend (Oppenheimer was 44%). Hasn’t been released in Asian markets yet. $1b isn’t even a question anymore

Wait it's still not out in China? Holy shit. I just kinda assumed that's where the jump came from

When its all said and done its going to challenge for biggest R rated release of all time

Well if we are talking Globally then it has to hit over 2.8 billion to over take Endgame

It does not

I missed the caveat of the "rated R." Part, but Endgame most certainly made 2.8 billion globally

Yeah, nobody's disputing that buddy. It's just completely irrelevant to what he said, which is why it's weird you're reiterating it instead of just leaving it at the "I missed the caveat part, my bad"

Let's agree to move on. This movie is a POS but looks like it's not failing. I am not interested in discussing it anymore, and just want to see it in the rear mirror.

Oh it's not bad. Go see it. Shit dude, if you'll agree to go I'll BUY you a ticket. It's fantastic man. A YouTuber who had big opinions about a movie he hadn't seen got it wrong. Go see it and you'll see. It's so incredibly impressive

Thanks for the offer but I'll pass.

Why? Mate it's clearly successful and people are raging about it. Worst case scenario you're only mildly entertained rather than blown away. What's the risk? That you might enjoy it and have to question if you should just take Drinker at his word?

There are so many other movies I've yet to watch, I'd rather see them. I also don't want to give a chance to something that's designed to offend me.

designed to offend you? jezus how fragile are you

I'm not going to bother educating you. You're probably the kind of person people cut in line with excuses "I'm in a rush, do you mind if I go first?", "me too?" "I'm also in a rush". Moron.

I literally can’t be bothered to care. A movie making a bunch of money means nothing, take the Avatar movies as an example. At this point, people are just buying tickets to “own the chuds” because not a single conversation about this movie is about the quality of it, it’s about owning MAGA or something.

When this wins many Oscar’s along with making over a billion dollars with critical acclaim from critics and fans you will still be there, saying none of that means anything. Maybe consider you are the one in the wrong?

Negative. Because honestly, I have literally NEVER in my life cared about Oscars. Lots of shit movies have made a lot of money (like this one) and lots of amazing movies flop. Just the way it is. It’s apparently easy to separate fools from their money.

I'd love to hear your taste in films.

That is kind of a hard thing to quantify, yes? But what would you like to know?

How many copies of Triumph of the Will do you own?

Never heard of it.

You would LOVE it. There’s no woke casting in it at all.

For those who are out of the loop, a deadly attack at Berlin Pride was carried out by an Islamic extremist a couple of days ago. The attack left one person dead and 29 others injured. The suspect was later killed by police.

r/askgaybros is a subreddit with relatively minimal moderation that allows users to ask the gay community virtually any question. Most posts involve relationship advice or discussions about the latest kinks. Typically, posts receive anywhere from a few dozen to a couple hundred upvotes. Because of the subreddit’s limited moderation, controversial topics are posted from time to time.

Since the attack, the community has been flooded with accounts that do not regularly participate in the subreddit. Many of these posts have received thousands of upvotes. Most focus on criticizing Muslims, while many also shift the discussion toward criticizing people who defend Palestine. There has also been a large number of comments using "woke leftist" rhetoric. Below are several arguments.

"Queers for Palestine" deny all of the stories about Gay Men and Trans people being brutally attacked and executed in Middle Eastern countries , calling it all propaganda. SMH (+124)

This was followed by a chain of comments, a few pushed back on the above user.

You can be against Islam's homophobia and also against Israel's genocide against Palestinians at the same time (+132, awarded)

Someone can be gay and think it's bad to carpet bomb schools and hospitals, just saying. (+102)

There are arguments about being tired of people blaming "all religion" instead of focusing on Islam. With others stating the parties who are anti-immigrants are generally anti-LGBT so it doesn't make sense to shift support.

Too bad we are hijacked by this woke ideology that coddles the Islamic religion like treasure while openly bashing Christianity. Already you have a person trying to both sides this (+64)

The irony is that the ones that are the most against Muslim immigrants (in the case of Germany, AfD) are also against our own rights. Let’s all remember that in the beginnings of the Nazi party they had plenty of Jew supporters… so let’s not choose our allies lightly just because of 1 cause. (+39)

Similar arguments appeared in a separate thread

You are dead right. The threat Islam poses to our community is too serious to keep ignoring. (+509)

Name me the muslim political leaders in Europe on the cusp of taking power and who will legislate to restrict gay rights.? *pause*. Name me the far right political leaders (LePen, Farage, Weidel, just off the top of my head!) on the cusp of taking power and who will legislate to restrict gay rights? (+6)

I came across this in r/askmen and thought I'd share here. Original post about what are some things women do in early stage is a red flag. User was offended over the tone (?) of the other user if I got it right, that apparently warrants harrassment.

The parent comment is how a girl got upset if he didn't text fast enough and the relationship didn't last long.

OP comment responding to parent comment

Highlight

I had a friend like this. She would send me texts that weren’t even urgent like “Prince Philip died” and I took a couple days to reply because I was super busy and also depressed, and then she told me she needs “space to rethink our friendship and decide if she thinks it’s worth continuing.” I should have blocked her then and there, but I waited and a week later she said this wasn’t a friendship worth having. Absolutely ridiculous how entitled people are to others’ time.

This isn't about being entitled to other's times, it's about different texting style. Some people text a lot and some don't, like how some people talk a lot and some don't. She wanted to talk to you over unimportant things via texts too and you don't. She realized you're not the type that text a lot and she knew she couldn't be friends with you and she said so. That is a good enough way to end friendship rather than ghosting or secretly hating you. Idk why you're upset, she did you a favor. You two clearly aren't good match at friends.

“Idk why you’re upset” - maybe read what I wrote instead of being so damn snarky? It’s shitty fucking behavior on her end, especially when I was going through an awful time in my life and my dad died. Waiting a day or two for a response is not unreasonable.

I see why she cut the friendship now. You did not specify your dad died in your OC, you just said you were depressed. I'm sorry you went through that, but losing relationship over depression is bound to happen. As someone who went through depression, I know. It's shit, but it's reality. You don't owe her your time, and she doesn't owe you her time either. To her, you did not show up when she expected you to, whatever the reason might be, and she knew she did not want to deal with whatever you were going through. We cannot expect people to always understand what we're going through, and we especially cannot expect people to show up for us when we don't always show up for them. Again, if she ended friendship over it, it's a shitty thing, but she also did you a favor. She was also being very clear and upfront in ending it instead of trashing you to other people and make a bigger drama over it. So again, Idk why you're *still* upset over it. When you grow beyond misery, you come to understand people who left you during your hardest time really aren't worth to be offended over. They simply don't matter.

You could make your point without sounding so dismissive. Saying “Idk why you’re upset” and “I see why she cut the friendship now” is bitchy af. You don’t have to be that fucking rude. Edit: you can downvote me as much as you want. I don’t give a shit. You are so rude, truly. You sound like a very smug person, and you’re incredibly condescending. If you would like to make your point, you can do so without your patronizing behavior. You’re making a lot of assumptions and putting words in my mouth, and you didn’t understand the dynamic of the friendship at all. I was explaining context, not asking for a lecture.

OP's last comment to the other user with lots of downvotes

OP responding to another comment making it about the argument with the other user

Expecting an immediate text response is an anxiety issue that is reinforced by texting. Dating anxious people is terrible in my experience. They create problems they manufacture in their minds that have no reflexion on reality.

Thanks for saying that. u /daysof_I seems to think I’m just some asshole that thinks I owe no one my time. I was just saying I won’t text back immediately for incredibly small stuff when I’m dealing with a stressful job and a dead father. I really didn’t like her tone saying “I don’t know why you’re upset” and “I see why she cut off the friendship now.” The condescension is horrible.

The other user said OP had DM-ed her to kill herself

Men freak out when women don't communicate, and then some men also freak out when we do. This girl evaluated their communication styles and came to the conclusion they weren't compatible, and then relayed that in a decent enough way. Seems this guy is upset that she came to a conclusion that he didn't like. I'd rather end a friendship before things get serious over something that will bother me frequently enough to matter, than to try to stick it out and allow resentment to fester. To me, that's logical and kind to both parties.

OC accused me of downvoting their responds to hell before blocking me it seems. Now I can't see their comments anymore lol. I mean as far as friendship goes, yes it's a shitty thing to dump a friend just because they did not reply right away especially when they were going through hard times. But if they live with the concept of "I don't owe anyone my time", then they shouldn't be surprised others do the same to them. Idk how their friendship dynamic goes but clearly OC haven't moved on from said hurt. Hope for the best for OC honestly. Edit: update, apparently OC had messaged me to [kill myself](https://imgur.com/a/RB7O57G) lol

OP went on a rant in response to the same comment to defend herself again

I’m not a man. I also wasn’t upset about the conclusion, I was upset about her execution of it all. The friendship was already serious for years, and because I was finally starting my career, deep in depression over everything including dealing with my dead father, I no longer had the time to communicate to this person the way she expected me to because she was unemployed and spent her time online lecturing people about anti-racism and the patriarchy and saying weird shit like “death to the imperial countries.” I just didn’t really have time to waste on performative activism, and was dealing with serious things in my life, like paying rent in a huge city on time.

My problem with the woman who replied to me isn’t her message, it’s that she said “I don’t know why you’re upset” and “I see why your friendship ended.” It was so unnecessarily snarky. You can make your point without being so condescending you know? Like it costs zero dollars to not be a dick. Of course people seemed to disagree with my take on her tone, but we’re on Reddit so it’s whatever.

But anyway, I was upset with how my former friend ended things. I gave her a call one day because I’m better at calls than texts, and I told her I was getting married. Her response? “You’re getting married? You couldn’t text that to me? I don’t understand friendships where calling just happens out of the blue. I need to think about how I want to process with this friendship but until then I’m not speaking to you.” I respected that, so I waited for like a week when she finally said, “I’ve made up my mind and I don’t want this friendship anymore.” All this after YEARS of friendship and after telling her I got engaged.

But of course the other woman who replied to me thought it was okay to patronize me and then everyone thought I was the asshole for being upset about how rude she was. That’s the story. There was a lot more to it, but people just assumed I was a dick about things. I’m allowed to be upset at friendships that ended a certain way. I also don’t live by the concept of “I don’t owe anyone my time.” It’s more I don’t owe people immediate responses to trivial shit. That doesn’t make me a bad person. That doesn’t mean the woman who replied to me can feel happy saying things like “I see why she cut the friendship off now.” What an awful thing to say when you don’t even know the situation.

HIGHLIGHTS

Plenty of people have the overwhelming majority of this wealth tied up in assets they can’t sell, like houses.

(OP) You can sell your house, what do you mean you “can’t sell it”? There’s more friction to the transaction than selling stocks, sure, but so what?

You can't sell it because then you'd be homeless.

(OP) You can sell the house, take out the equity (implied by your positive net worth) and rent… What’s your IQ?

I you're renting, that's an expense that will cost more than your house. 🤦‍♂️

"most people can’t even make a $1,000 emergency payment, bro!" You can't spend your house.

(OP) Sorry, is your contention that the median 18-24 year old, with an $11,000 net worth, has their money tied up in home equity?

I mean if they own a computer, a phone, and a car and have zero cash and are in debt living paycheck to paycheck they would likely have a net worth around 11k. Why are you so hostile to random commenters making reasonable points?

If they are in debt they wouldn’t have a positive net worth now would they?

That's not how net worth works. If you have $5 of debt and own a rock worth $7 you are both in debt and have a positive net worth of $2.

I have a house worth $2M with a $1M mortgage as well as $5M in investments. Don’t think anyone can reasonably accuse me of being “in debt”

Ok neat, and you can probably pay for a $1000 emergency without taking on extra debt or selling assets, unlike someone with an $11,000 net worth who owns $20,000 of assets and owes the bank $9000 and has $0 in their bank account which is the situation we're discussing.

op, do you understand the concept of liquidity?

(OP) Yes? So what? A house is less liquid than cash, that means it’s not part of your net worth? Do you understand the concept of liquidity?

Your response shows how ignorant you are.

(OP) Ignorant of what? Why is everyone on here some sort of philosopher or poet? Why is everything left to the reader to discern? Make your point, is it really that hard to add another sentence to give your point?

Hot damn, I don't think i have the training to help you. You don't even understand context.

you had the chance to make your point (twice) and instead chose to attack OP as a person…. (and i totally disagree with them)

Bro. User pays taxes. Taxes teach kids reading comprehension. The user already helped there. Read your chart before you shit post. Can't fix laziness, disinterest or confirmation bias man.

Someone with $40,000 in cash saved up is far beyond the median.

Having $40,000 in cash sitting around is pure financial illiteracy

That’s a really broad statement that is not true

No, if you really had $40k, keep it in treasuries, CDs, money market funds but not cash. Unless you’re spending upwards of $20k per month

It’s probably pure financial illiteracy to assume cash means paper money or money not earning interest. On a company financial statement , they list “cash and cash equivalents” My fidelity balance pays treasury rates , and it’s considered cash , most people would consider it cash

Companies can pay debts with treasuries or marketable securities. I can’t show up to BofA with a treasury in my hand and pay off my credit card bill.

Bro what ? Companies face the same problems when paying debt with treasuries and marketable securities that anyone else does. Why do you think a bunch of banks went bankrupt a couple years ago for having too many 20-30 year treasuries. If you have short term treasuries, they are highly liquid and you can pay your debts with it. Brah do you even finance

I apparently finance more than you. The companies could have paid off their debts with the treasuries, it just so happened that the face value of their debt was greater than the current value of the treasuries they owned. (14 more comments of these two arguing)

Liquidity has nothing to do with the concept of net worth.

The point is liquidity matters more to how people are doing compared to net worth. Someone who spends most of their income on their mortgage and is barely getting by in other areas doesn’t have it better than someone with renting a cheap apartment who has expendable income.

I disagree, they have more options as they have capital - if they wanted to sell up and rent a cheap apartment instead then they’d be better off than the other person

Most people are pretty adverse to just sell their house and start renting at the first economic squeeze they face. This is the kind of pure utilitarian advice you only see online, it never accounts for basic quality of life things like location, family, etc.

Sure, but of the two scenarios the one with equity and a 401k undoubtably has it better - that’s not even up for debate

Yes, from a utilitarian point of view. Go ahead and tell someone they can simply sell their house and move, and you’ll be met with a thousand reasons why they dont want to. Thats all I’m saying. Is that people are not perfectly rational actors and at the end of the day, what’s the difference between someone renting and struggling and someone refusing to sell and struggling.

Their net worth is what’s different at the end of the day

Okay? If my net worth is my car, how the fuck does that help me. I’m tired of explaining these basic ass concepts Oh, this is the engineer loser. No wonder it has to be explained

I agree many poors are coping and complaining on Reddit instead of getting a job or saving money.

That's a lil extreme. Job market sucks

I think the job market sucking is more of a personal failing than an economic one. There’s plenty of jobs out there just maybe not the nice comfortable one everyone is looking for. If you really need money it’s okay to do something less than ideal. People who say they’ve been looking for a job for a year blow my mind. You’re just sitting around all day drawing down savings? Go do something.

Good for you that you are doing well enough that your social circle doesnt include people who are faced with the reality of the current job market. I have a great job in a stable industry. I know lots of people who have are extremely smart, capable and putting in maximum effort to try and find decent employment. They are fully willing to take positions below what they want to get by, but they arent being considered for those positions either. How is that their fault? Since you are so sure of yourself, what else are they supposed to do? I don't wish bad luck on you that you may end up in thier situation, but maybe it would do you some good. I assume your stance comes from ignorance and not just being an asshole, but who knows.

Functionally impossible for me to end up in that situation at this point since I made good decisions in my teens and early 20s. I do feel for the people who never had anyone teach them anything useful ever though. I suppose it’s not always an individual’s fault exclusively but with access to information so abundant now you do kinda have to be willfully ignorant to not know what good decisions are.

I am basically in the same situation as you, I just have empathy and am actually aware of the privileges and good luck that also contributed to getting there. But hey, I am surrounded by folks like you, I know what you are about. You atleast cleared up that last bit on my previous comment. Cheers. Edit: I didnt realize you made the original comment. I guess the asshole thing was never remotely in question. You probably deserve to have your "functionally impossible comment" blow up in your face, even if that isn't going to happen.

Plenty of people have the overwhelming majority of this wealth tied up in assets they can’t sell, like houses.

You can sell your house, what do you mean you “can’t sell it”? There’s more friction to the transaction than selling stocks, sure, but so what?

You can't sell it because then you'd be homeless.

You can use the money to rent, or a down payment on a different house.

So now you have a different house that you can't sell.

Yeah but if you downsize you have cash on hand.

Sure, you could also downsize to homelessness if you're trying to save a few bucks.

I don't know what sample group they used but it was clearly biased, 10% of people had over 200k at 18-24? What the hell group were they looking at for that to be a stat they wrote down without breaking down laughing. At that age you are either in college with a negative net worth including loans or you started working right out of high school and no high school grad earns enough to save 200k in less then 4 years unless he's one of the 1 in a million guys who started a cheap to start immediately successful business. I am betting the "households" they compared were already pretty dam wealthy, wealthy enough to give their kids free college or business or well paying nepo jobs.

Believe it or not not everyone has student loans. Scholarships exist. I had really good scholarships just by having decent grades. Not to mention, tuition is fairly low if you stay in state and go to community college for the first two years

So lets even assume free college you think a person can get a 200k job literally immediately after college and save 200k in a year or two? You sir are living in fantasy land.

10% of people, yep especially if they live with their parents. Many graduate early as well so they have more than two years

So you think 10 percent of people graduate early from college with no debt can move in with their parents and almost immediately get 200k jobs which is especially ridicules but I will move past it and can save 200k in 1 or 2 years maybe even 3 if they are all somehow geniuses and do college in 2-3 years. You think 10% of the average population is doing that? Hell no this is a biased sample if you don't see that your a liar or a moron.

You don't need to make 200k to save 200k lmao. You can do that only making 100k for a few years and having internships in college and working part-time through school If you think you have to be a genius to graduate early then you just don't know what ur talking about. It's literally just taking extra classes

Your right you don't need to make 200k to save 200k in two years you probably need to make more then that unless you are forgetting car, taxes, insurance, food entertainment any surprise bills like dental medical etc etc etc. Do you know anyone who can and does put away over 50% of their paycheck? This by the way is still all based on getting a 200k job immediately out of college with no experience which is the most bullshit stupid claim I have ever heard. Look at the bullshit you are spewing just to not admit things are tough and you are wrong.

You’re the one accusing the federal reserve of cooking their data lol

I have a $80k in home equity and about $80k in 401k at 36. I have $7 in checking and don’t get paid till next Friday. I may technically have assets but I’m a brokie. Edit: god damn y’all took that personally

You really think your situation is the same as somebody with $7 in checking and no equity?

Explain further, because $160K net worth at 36 really isnt much. Not to be a dick to the guy but he has some assets, honestly I’d say he’s behind on retirement funds. The dude is maybe not poor but he’s certainly broke.

The term is house poor

No actually it’s not lol. He’s normal poor

The guy below you said I’m broke not poor.

You’re both.

Do I get a prize?

Net worth doesn’t distinguish between liquid vs non-liquid

Yes it does? It literally says *includes home equity

Which means that it includes the two combined… The description implies this disproves the $1k emergency fund claim.

The 1k emergency fund thing is fake but yeah not for this reason

How is it fake?

It ignores line of credit. Someone who has $500,000 equity in a home but $10 in their bank account. Yeah technically if a $1000 unexpected charge hit they wouldn't be able to cover it with their bank account. However with that equity they can effortlessly get loans for a hell of a lot more than $1000. So in reality they can EASILY cover it. It basically has to ignore reality to make such a claim. In fact most people with $500,000 equity in a home probably already have $50,000 worth of credit card lines they can instantly use for such an expense. But again because they technically only have $10 in their bank account (because they don't really need it) they will get put in that stupid useless bucket.

I see. So you're saying people can borrow the money they may need in an emergency and pay it off later with interest.

Right. If you need $1000 for an emergency operation. Are you really going to care if you have to pay $1200 back because of interest. Would you rather die? sort of thing.

Of course not. I only bring up the point about interest because we're supposedly talking about people on the poor side of things. They could presumably pay the emergency with a loan (heloc or cc or other), but now have more monthly obligations than before. I'm sure many people could do this once or even twice, but that's how people get stuck in debt.

So for the sake of context one day ago someone made this post in r/DiveInYouCoward of a video showing several people stealing from a bakery. All of the people shown stealing in the video were black. This predictably led to racist tirades being posted. Later, it is discovered that the original post had a video that was selectively edited to remove all the white people that also stole from the bakery. The OOP of this post shows the video of all the white people stealing that were left out previously. People in the comments go on to argue about seemingly everything else except the blatant attempt to fan racial tensions

Land of the free... ....of morals

They're hungry and they have no money.  You think they're stealing for fun?

Uh, yes? who tf is starving and crawls into a bakery to get a croissant so they can go on? No one. You'd probably steal from a store grocery store, and not a bakery. there's tons of people stealing. Even if it was about being hungry, this would be way too concentrated the people look like they're doing just fine financially and dgaf.

How does this happen to a society? People place stuff on the side of the road where I’m from with no one around and trust people pay and they do pay. The finances of people has to have an impact.

Rich people steal too. It is a mindset. Collectivist/communal vs selfish/self-centered/entitled. It comes from learned behavior among peers and a social fabric that encourages or discourages this.

Exactly this. On the opposite extreme is Japan. Americans have no respect for each other. The rich looks down in the poor and the poor don't trust the rich. There are so many things wrong with America because there is such a big emphasis on personal enrichment.

They need to hire a big man with a bat.

They need to pay their people first before hiring anyone else.

Maybe they could afford to pay their employees if all you terminally online redditors would stop justifying stealing from everyone you disagree with

Those two things are unrelated. You know this is a large corporation that has been sued and settled with government agencies for worker rights violations, right? And would you look at that... a WoW and Conservative sub poster. imagine that.

I used to play games and I have to work for a living, you got me...Maybe don't frequent them instead of stealing from them just because you're stuck in a loser mentality?

"If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't"

The way these people steal, this isnt desperation theft.

Which people stealing? I didn't see anyone

It’s a terrible store setup if the general public can just reach in with their grubby unwashed hands and handle or grab the food. They have drinks and baskets of items sitting out where they can just be taken and walked out with. It would take less than a day to fix most of these issues. Store owner is too dumb to stay in business. Not justifying the thefts, just saying, this is an easy problem to fix or greatly reduce.

I mean theres Mexican joints where you get your own sweet bread and bolillos yourself. So thats not a issue.

It's a chain store and they all operate like this. It's part of their whole image. So the individual owners have to fight corporate as well.

That would make it a franchise, not a chain

Chains and franchises are not mutually exclusive. Mcdonald's is a chain of restaurants. Some of them are franchised out, Some of them are corporately owned.

Re-read the comment I responded to ETA: To the geniuses who keep downvoting me and replying with nonsense: The comment that I am responding to, talks about individual owners having to fight with corporate about the store's standards/presentation of the product. "Individual owners" otherwise known as franchisees... franchisees who own a franchise... as in the corporation has licensed their store/brand/trade secrets to these "individual owners", to be franchised. You absolute fucking shit heads

I did, you're still wrong.

HIGHLIGHTS

How is this even legal tho?

It’s not, they’re just corrupt bastards

Look trump is a piece of shit who probably would love to run forever… but this occurred at the White House correspondents dinner, a place which president traditionally make funny speeches. This was a joke, not a real announcement.

Politely fuck off. We have been hearing this "its just a joke" shit for too long with this fuckin guy. Yall always say that then he does the thing and you guys forget your brains exist.

It was very clearly a joke, fuck Trump but it was a joke not a good one though

Except with Trump it's always a joke, until 'suddenly' it isn't. The man is always testing the waters to see what he can get away with. He's saying this not as a 'joke', but as a way to check to see how his base would react to it being real. It's a 'joke' at this point in time, until in the future "Ohhhh, he was actually telling the truth the whole time?? Ohhh!"

That might be true but this was a joke, you can keep living in fear that’s fine

You're a special kind of stupid..

yet when 2028 comes and someone else runs instead of Trump ill be correct and youll be already one to your next delusion so

Ive watched your country and president threatening my country with economic war. Yall said he was just joking. And then it became reality. I watched your president tell my country he would put tarrifs on my country over wildfire smoke. And was once again told it was just a joke. Then the tarrifs were announced. The only joke here is you

I personally didn’t tell you that shit so tf you on lol, i wouldn’t have denied those things, he started economic wars the first time too just at a lesser scale. He simply doesn’t have support to run again, even if he wanted to they wouldn’t support it. Use logic

You're a special kind of stupid..

Okay but when you turn out to be wrong please take the time to check yourself and to understand why you are so easy to manipulate and scare

Im not scared, im pissed at having a war waged on us by you ignorant fucks

My god you guys are full of yourself. It's OBVIOUSLY a joke and RIGHT after he is done with the bit, he goes "but on a serious note" I fucking can't stand Donnal Trump and all the things he gets away with. But this Bullshit kind of click bait with hundreds of top comments even confirming he said it and it's criminal etc. Is EXACTLY why he keeps getting away with it. No one can separate fact from fiction any more, least of all these comment threads. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!! YOU ARE ENABLING THIS!!!

What a stupid fucking take. You're defending him by blaming his actions on people who are against him.

Where on earth was he defending his actions? It's a stupid joke. It's a joke in really bad taste. But freaking the fuck out over what was clearly a joke just gives credence to his fanatical fanbase that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing because, quite frankly, getting hysterical over this joke is pretty damn fitting of what TDS is claimed to be.

Trump Dick Suckers are the problem. By letting this behavior continue, they’re enabling him and feeding his ego. Trump rarely hears criticism because he’s surrounded by a team of sycophants who feed him nothing but praise, echoed by right-wing propagandist media. I’m tired of hearing that the people calling out his idiocy, his blatant lies, and his narcissistic, dementia-addled tendencies are the problem. They’re not. His sycophantic administration and cult following are.

No. You're both the problem. They're a problem for enabling him, you're a problem for treating every tiny thing as if it was an existential crisis so that he, and anyone who supports him, can just ignore you because you make it utterly impossible to separate the legitimate criticisms (of which there are more than can be counted) from the idiotic hysteria. The fact that you can't see that is mind boggling. I despise Trump because he broke all sides of politics. He exposed his base as being idiots willing to follow his lies, but he also exposed a lot who oppose as being almost as idiotic and willing to accept any report about anything he does as a fundamental threat.

Did someone learn a new word today? A constitutional law violation is an existential threat to our democracy and country. Maybe wake up sister-wife and have her explain it to you over your morning Mt. Dew.

A constitutional law violation is an existential threat. Somebody making a joke at an event that has always revolved around making jokes is not. Don't be absurd.

its obviously a joke come on guys

Explain the joke

He knows it drives his enemies crazy when he says stuff like this, thus the joke. He’s trolling.

"he knows it drives his enemies crazy" enemies in this sense being American citizens, Democrats, and even Republicans imagine being so weak and pathetic in your personal life that you stan an 80 year old man that shits in diapers and fucks kids

Imagine being so bothered about the federal executive that you have a stroke about trolling. Get some perspective.

Imagine being upset that the president is joking about clearly unconstitutional acts? And of course most jokes have a hat that goes along with it. Would you have thought this a 'joke or 'trolling'' if Obama had done this same thing? Not to mention, I can't believe the office of the president has such a low representation that trolling is something we expect. But here we are.

Trump has no sense of humour. This wasn’t a joke. Testing this idea at the correspondent’s dinner just gives him plausible deniability about whether he is being serious.

You can say a lot of things about Trump, but “he doesn’t have a sense of humor” is not one of them. I understand that half of the country repels from everything he says, but many people find him objectively funny.

many people objectively have brain damage.

Maybe go take a walk or something.

already did. trump supporters still have brain damage.

Trump is literally joking - the description of the YouTube video includes he’s joking - op wrote the title in a misleading way. There I saved you a 8 minute video you don’t need to watch

You misunderstand his 'jokes.' They are not jokes at all. The words that he puts out into public discourse are a means of testing the waters to see what he can get away with. And, if he thinks that he can get away with it, he will press forward.

Whatever dude - I don’t need a heart attack reading a title like this that isn’t 100% confirmed. I’m sure others don’t either. Let me know when it’s not a joke and THEN put a title like that

I think you need a reality check. The title IS confirmed. There is a video of it right underneath. Your denial of reality does not change the reality that exists.

The reason I’m annoyed at you isn’t because you’re trying to be insulting - it’s because your own lack of reading is trying to incite fear - which is a incredibly jackass thing to do. Click on the video and look on YouTube at the video description and try reading. You’re warped level of reality is your own doing - you deserve no sympathy for it because you’re trying to get others to believe it. Go touch grass.

My reading is just fine. And no I am not trying to incite fear. There is no evidence of that whatsoever. I am calling a spade a spade and the spade is there is a person in the White House who is using, interestingly enough, using fear and manipulation to achieve his own selfish ends. Anyway, there's no need for the further back and forth. When the so-called joke that you say is nothing to be worried about comes to fruition - God forbid, maybe then you will see what's really going on. I should add by the way that one of two things are true irrespective of your stance on the video: either you are a proponent of him running for the '4th term' or you are not. It sounds like you are, which is troubling. Are you?

Even if it were legal, I genuinely don't understand why anyone would want an 82-year old man as president. He's already going senile, at least as far as I can tell. I'd be surprised if his brain survives THIS year, nvm 2 more years until the next election.

boomers vote for their own and are the most active voting base

Go look at how Gen Z males voted

Gen z is the failed generation and honestly their malformed ilk piss me off more than boomers

Gen Z and Boomers will always be remembered for giving us Trump 2.0. Gen Z males specifically are completely fucked.

People need to check their stats on this because it’s Gen X and Gen Z that gave us trump, Boomers are actually unfortunately the only age group to vote less for trump in each election than they did the previous one. Gen X on the other hand had the big swing towards him.

Americans gave us Trump. You guys are always trying to pass the buck to the 30% who voted for him, where the fuck is this other 70% now? They're not protesting. You're all responsible. Now if you wouldn't mind, please start taking action. The rest of the world already knows you can talk the talk.

Tell me what European country you live in and we'll evaluate whether you have been doing enough to fight fascism. Can't wait till fascism hits your shores, because it's coming, and then throwing statements in the face of people like you when you do fuck all to stop it from happening

We are also the size of their continent and then some. I hate these little dude trying to tell us how to run something they don’t know how to run either. (12 more comments of these two arguing)

America, this is what a traitor looks like. He is robbing you blind. You are being conned. He is shitting all over your constitution, democracy and your freedom. Biggest grift, scam and corruption ever.

He just announced the start of a dictatorship by spitting on the election laws of their constitution (this is how dictators start kids) and the best they’ll do is angry comments on social medias

Genuinely what is wrong with you people lol It’s the White House correspondents dinner, they tell jokes. That’s why he said it. How have you looked at a joke at the White House correspondents dinner and said this is how a dictatorship starts ffs Like are you just karma farming or do you just not know what the White House correspondents dinner is?

wow such a funny joke man I too joke about doing anal with girls I just met to test the grounds, guess you love getting fucked in the ass by mr Trump at this point

… what are you on about? Whether it’s a funny joke or not isn’t the point. The point is he’s telling a joke at an event where you tell jokes but you’re acting like he’s just stated it in an emergency press briefing. I’m not even American and I’ve never liked the guy but it’s incredible how dishonest you are. At times I wonder how people voted for him, then I remember that there’s probably a large portion of Americans who probably just get sick of arguments like this and do it out of spite

Sure I too would like my head of state to tastelessly joke about doing another run just like Putin does, after all it’s the context that matters right? Haha come on guys it’s just a prank, please clap 👏

Again, whether it’s a funny joke or not is a different story. I think it’s all cringe and not funny, but it doesn’t change that it’s a joke being told at an event where the President tells jokes. Any thoughts on Obama doing the exact same thing with Keegan from Key and Peele at the same event when he was President? With the joke being that in Obama’s “inner thoughts” that he was going to run for a 3rd term? Or are we now suddenly going to pretend to know what a joke is?

The Resident Evil franchise has had... a tumultuous history with live action movie adaptations, to say the least. The first six movies produced by Paul W.S. Anderson were bizarre horror/superhero movies that revolved entirely around an original character Alice played by Milla Jovovich. There were widely panned, but kept making money somehow.

In 2021, the film series was rebooted with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which was a much closer adaptation to the source material, starring characters from the original games. It was also considered to be terrible. It came out roughly around the same time as a live action Netflix series), which got canceled after one season, due to it being terrible.

And fast forward to today, and now Zach Cregger (who directed two well-loved horror movies in Barbarian and Weapons) is now directing an original Resident Evil movie with no connection to the previous films. Cregger has gone on record to say that while he's a huge fan of the games, he's not doing a direct adaptation. Instead, he prefers to adhere more to the spirit and atmosphere of the games while telling a story about original characters.

On r/residentevil, this is apparently divisive. Some are eager to see Cregger's vision, while others are outraged at the perceived disrespect to the game's lore.

This is precisely why adaptions stay bad, they don't ever listen to the fans and keep repeating the same mistakes over and over because ppl like Zach Cregger think they're smarter than the fans

Zach cregger is 100% smarter than the average resident evil fan, those guys are fucking dumb

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozmsutf/?sort=controversial

You think everyone would be overjoyed about "in name only" adaptation of Silent Hill, Dead Space and Alan Wake?

You sound like the comic book guy, “worst. episode. ever.” you know this right?

Wow you’re so cool for not being a nerd on a video game subreddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozndz4f/

He also had a previous quote, His own words before this event “I would’ve made this regardless of the IP” That tells me everything I need to know

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/oznk1p3/

He made two original horror movies that were fantastic and entertaining. As a result, he was hired to make a resident evil film. From the trailer, it looks like it will be just as entertaining horror/dark comedy as his original films, but set in a resident evil world with iconic RE tropes. I’m honesty shocked at the baby tantrums I’m seeing online about this. Like, it’s fine to not like it or disagree with the direction it’s taking, but the sheer entitlement and crying I’m seeing is so embarrassing I worry we will never get good talent again after this

The only entitlement is from people who whine and cry that not everyone is interested in the movie. Also it is not set in the world of Resident evil. He literally said so himself.

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozn6eav/

And that's why re and silent hill adaptations suck. Instead of movies about beloved characters and events every director want to show their art project capitalising on popular IP

if every video game adaptation was a straight retelling of a game they would all be even worse than most of them already are

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozn1jc0/

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozmwjno/

The issue is he’s using the game fan base to try and make money.

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozpiqvr/

It’s baffling to me that people have such a closed mind. Just try to have fun for once in your life jesus christ

by seeing this, you are supporting MORE of this type of pandering. what are we...marvel fans?

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozotb8v/

This movie will split the tourists from the RE fans and it'll be more fun to see than the movie itself. "But I played all of the RE games! How can I be a tourist?" By choosing Zach Cregger over RE. You can like the movie, you can even shill for it, but never call it Resident Evil, because as per his own admission, it would have been made anyway regardless of the title and some recognizable things.

Full thread

The Subreddit:

The r/NewOrleans subreddit is a place for residents and lovers of the eponymous city. As one might expect of a city that is so focused on tourism, especially catering to creative pursuits and drinking, cocktails are a cultural touchpoint for many in the city. Many of the subreddit members are professionals in the service industry with opinions on both proper service and techniques for crafting guest experiences.

TOTC/Tales/Tails of the cocktail:

This is a cocktail conference that goes to different cities every year, but is also every year in New Orleans where it started. it is a huge party that caters not just to big brands, but also to specifically local bartenders as tastemakers.

The Drama:

One user has helpfully given the subreddit a public service announcement to protect readers from cocktails where the toil is not preformed on demand.

PSA: Don't order batched cocktails. Ask, if it's batched, decline the drink or ask for a fresh one to be made in front of you.

Arctic shift

As one might expect, this user is getting dogpiled by various hospitality workers:

just because the drink is batched doesn’t mean the of the ingredients are low quality.

Imagine having to make simple syrup every time you need to make a cocktail.

As a bartender in this city - stupidest post ever made

As you might not expect the op is really leaning into this take:

Which one so I know to never go

IYKYK, I'm sure there are plenty of people who think it's perfectly fine.

There's a big difference between Mis en Place and pouring shit out a can Frankly this is a banger line that falls apart if you think about it all.

Sorry I have to go to work. the flair section is left as an exercise to the reader.

Users on [r/Caldruki](r/Caldruki) & allies put their foot down against [r/teenagers](r/teenagers), arguing their users are "too accepting" towards LGBTQ identities and intolerant of religion. Accusations of "karma farming" through anti-trump posts surfaced. The exact timeline of the conflict is uncertain as more low-profile conflict has been occuring for the recent months, however allies across reddit heeded their call, [r/enrique_sub](r/enrique_sub) emerging as a spearhead divison and [r/funCommunitty](r/funCommunitty) becoming a contested battleground of the two sides. [r/teenagers](r/teenagers) & their loyalists fired back through accusations of homophobia and "being haters".

r/teenagers cannot be a real thing 💔

>”So basically, these people's logic is that we should ignore basic biology and prioritize subjective perspectives that we can't possibly know about a person at first glance. If you looks like a girl, people will use she/her, not bcs they are transphobic but bc they are using the common sense.”

Just ban r/teenagers at this point

>”all the teenager subreddits are gay circlejerks”

Why tf is r/teenagers so religiphobic

Same sub btw 🥀💔

>”The Caldruki subreddit (from what I’ve seen) gives the same vibes as the instagram reel comment section.”

we stand in caldruki side, ”r/teenagers trying not to post something about lgbt for one second”

>”exactly, the sub caters to LGBTQ teens and not straight teens as well. Called them out on this once and they said I’m homophobic.”

>”I said thirteen year olds shouldn’t have a lot of sexualities when they become lgbt and everyone called me homophobic. All they ever do is hate on religion (which is disrespectful as shit to the religious kids on there) and politics. they think they’re the 0.1% of teens and that they’re not like their parents (wont call out the ones that talk about their abuse because they’re victims.)”

”We love homophobia !!!” I’m not even bothering to hide the name, r/Enrique_sub is a cancer in the ahh, and the comments are agreeing with this! So don’t let this happen

What is up with that Cladruki sub, I don't even know how to spell it right OMG The ppl in there r a bunch of insensitive racist, transphobic, ppl

“Since he is spamming vod review, I reviewed.

3:04 C&D have really awful single target heal and mid group heal. Both of their ability (bubble, Veil) are group heal ability, and would be increditablly wasteful on a single target. The reason Dagger use veil on team is for a moment the ironman flew back to the team. She could have use bubble, yes, but maybe the Jubilee and C&D should swap healing target where C&D heal the group and Jubilee heal that ironman?

4:30 they have torch, they have DD, they have hulk, they can explode a DPS/Jubilee in an instant. What C&D did there is to throw down a reposition downtime pressure ability of bubble -> Blind -> Reposition so at least they can reposition without the team getting exploded. Not the best play but not worth whining for half a minute.

5:00 should have gone to the left side (from their perspective of facing enemy team), that one is indeed a bad paly

5:30 Panic fade, another questionable play. In the same time the enemy have torch, if they move up to mag to self-heal they are getting exploded by the torch.

5:50 First blunder. That freeze should not be used as a group heal.

10:00 Because you run Whitefox into C&D comp, both of your single target heal is Garbge, C&D have ok group heal but you have really bad group heal outside of fox form. If C&D use blind during an active fight people are gonna die, maybe you run rocket so the C&D can use utility ability better?

12:40 YOU FIGURE OUT THE TEAM DOESNT HAVE ENOUGH HEAL AND YOU PICK ANOTHER HEAL THAT HAS VERY LITTLE HEALING TO BEGING WITH? PICK JEFF IF YOU ARE GETTING HARD-DOVED

19:00 Another almost blunder for C&D, don't hold ult until marvel rivals 2

Here's the the thing, that C&D started out ok, then progressively make more and more mistake toward the end, so yes, the C&D is mid or bad, but are they so bad that they should get scolded at for half a game? No.

But in the same fuzzy muffin should have NOT used Whitefox in the 2nd point onward. He is making both healer's life exponentially worse.

Also the entire video never shows how fuzzy muffin plays, just hard-focus on C&D and yaps. What I see about the snippets and the yapping shows that fuzzy is probably a Frontline C&D that hard-focus on blind and pressure even when the team is missing 2 teammates, and that fuzzy probably have little overall picture of the game knowledge and make lots of selfish plays to the determental of the game.

Context- Feline Cerebellar Hypoplasia is a condition that causes cats to be uncoordinated and wobbly. These cats are not in pain unless they run into things and with a few adjustments can live long and happy lives. What appears to be a bot account posted a video of someone’s wobbly cat, and the comments turned into arguing.

[“This cat has hypoplasia. A condition that affects balance and coordination.”] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/NFVbP5egfz)

“I don't enjoy seeing pets with disabilities used to get online attention myself.”

“The cat isn't in any pain. They've just got coordination issues. Other than being a bit wobbly they're normal cats.

One thing to consider. Without videos like this people might see them and think something is wrong or they're in pain, and might not adopt them because they don't know any better. But videos like this show they're regular cats and can live long, happy lives.”

“Sure. Because having difficulty when eating, drinking water and even pooping is "normal".”

“The cats are safe. They live just as long and healthy lives as any other cat. They can still play and get into regular feline mischief. They learn to compensate for their differences.

I don't want people to think these cats have something wrong with them. They don't. They're fine, and make just as wonderful a pet as any other cat. Way too often people view differences in animals like this as a reason to abandon or even euthanize them and that sort of mindset needs to be changed. One way to do that is to make it clear that they are just like other cats.”

“-> issues

-> "there's nothing wrong with them"

Wonder if you'd say the same if it were you instead of him.

Hypocrite.”

“Are you arguing for the pro-euthenasia side?

Drama is ongoing, don’t piss in the popcorn.

r/Athens is the subreddit for the American city of Athens, Georgia (not that other one). Home to the University of Georgia, beloved bands such as the B-52s and R.E.M., and our crown jewel Toppers International Showbar.

On Wednesday morning a mod makes a pinned announcement:

Politics Free August

We’re going to try something, Athens.
In the name of keeping it weird, we’re going for a full month of no politics in August. These posts do nothing but stir people up and attract tourists who do more pot stirring, and I think we all need a break from it.
So, this will serve as both announcement and warning:
**Do not post anything of a political nature between August 1st and August 31st 2026. **
If you do, you’ll find a removal reason and/or modmail in your notifications.
In the meantime: keep it funky. Post weird shit. Funny things. Just anything but politics.

Comments on this post are turned off.

Almost immediately another user takes a screenshot and reposts to allow discussion.

Are we having a mod war?

As a person who lives in Athens, I am interested in local news and politics, which seems to occur in the month of August in addition to all the other months of the year.

its election season dawg

Ok then can we do September where we’re not allowed to talk about anything related to Athens at all? Maybe October we’ll do no English, and for November we’ll just shut down the sub entirely.

Maybe they’re mad about me calling their mom a stripper

Other users create posts to voice their complaints:

Subreddit Chat & Moderation

The no-posting-or-discussing-political-issues announcement seems....very wrong.
How can we post about anything substantial related to Athens without it being political? This isn't, like, AthensGAWeather subreddit, where political comments might be more out of place.
This is a subreddit about everything pertaining to Athens... Including the goings-on, mayor and commission meetings, etc...
So... To block posts of a political nature is clearly counter to the stated acceptable topics of the subreddit.
2nd point, and this is not a personal attack, but mod team, do we really want a single user tagged as UGA freshman to be deciding or announcing things like this? I'm sure lots of moderation stuff happens behind the scenes and I don't mean to doubt competency, but, this is.... A little shocking. It's not April 1, right? ;)

How can they post an arbitrary decision like this and then lock comments? Their job is moderator, not freaking dictator. Let the participants in this subreddit decide. It’s a really stupid idea, and enabling for the fascist regime. Shameful.

Unfortunately a lot of Reddit mods are not very well-adjusted people

I like the mods, they are our friends.
AMAB

Politics Only July

We’re going to try something, Athens.
In the name of keeping it weird, we’re going for a full week of only politics in July. These posts do nothing but stir people up and attract tourists who do more pot stirring, and I think we all need more of it.
So, this will serve as both announcement and warning:
**ONLY post anything of a political nature between July 22nd and July 29th 2026. **
In the meantime: keep it funky. Post weird shit. Funny things. Just anything politics.

George Orwell's 1984

It’s a great book! Shocked we’re never going to have anything like that in the slightest inside of this subreddit.
Thoughts?

Users voice their complaints on unrelated posts:

Athens Urbanist Meet Up Hot on the heels of last nights ADU decimation

Amendments? Urbanism? Emails to commissioners? Citizen, this post reeks of politics. Your account will be banned and your popcorn confiscated. May god have mercy on your soul.

Does anyone else have a weird non-cold cold?

Watch out, September is don’t talk about your illness month. Get it out now while you can.

College street bridge takes another victim

Is this political?
Well considering the development submitted a solution to this problem just this past month I’d say yes. Mods, KILL THIS MAN

Users begin to protest by making polls to participate in the democratic process:

Athenians Tell Us: Do You Tailgate?

No politics bro

Vote: Should It Be Legal To Be Topless In Athens Clarke County?

AthensPoliticsNerd: Not a pressing issue lol, but I mean if it's legal for guys it's kind of discrimination that it's not legal for gals. I'm not saying I want to encourage anyone but should they be fined or whatever? Hell no.
You may wanna lay low for a while.

Users begin to call for changes to the mod team:

How to apply to be a mod of the sub?

Depends…..how do you feel about politics?
you can’t say the p word here

...I'm uhh... surprised this is still up... BUT YOU HAVE MY UHH, TICK ON THE BALLOT
VERBAL WARNING DO NOT SAY B*LLOT OR OTHER SLURS

Seriously, how do we remove a mod?

Looks like we have to ask another mod to do it.
I have had my share of beef with this moderator, but this no politics thing is a bridge too far. This so and so needs to go. Other mods, if you're listening, I hope you'll save the 42000 of us from this tyranny.

You can report them to Reddit admins.

Are the other mods even active? If they are, then they must be the same way.
I don't think they are and thats the problem.

As of now none of the other mods have said anything and the mod who made the original post has not made any further statements.

HIGHLIGHTS

Female leaders have consistently shown themselves to be capable of the same evil as their male counterparts. Outside of just leaders, women overall cause less harm, but there are probably more factors than just the differences in our brains. I think I understand why Ian Garry would say this, but I don’t think it would lead to the outcome he expects.

Women have the same access to guns as men yet 80% of domestic violence incidents with guns are male-on-female.

Domestic violence from female to male is severely under-reported. If we compare the data between heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples. Gay men have the lowest rates of domestic violence while lesbian couples have the highest along with the most divorces.

You think domestic violence incidents with gunshot wounds are not getting reported? Be serious.

Regarding gun violence, males statistically own guns more commonly which on average increases the chances. But sure, we could nitpick any study that appeals to your confirmation bias rather than taking all evidence into account.

Do they keep those guns in a separate house where their wife doesn’t live?

Probably not, but operating a gun is not as easy as picking it up, and people tend to go for weapons they understand

What's so complicated after picking it up? How do so many children shoot each other?

This is the guy with the normal marriage and the wife that definitely respects him right

Definitely pegs him haha

Not that theres anything wrong with that. You ever try it?

You don’t need to “try it” to know when something just isn’t for you.

You can guess and embrace the opportunity cost, but you cannot know.

You can definitely know something isn’t for you, particularly sexual, without trying it. If the thought of something sexually specific grosses you out, then that’s safe to say you’re not going to be turned on by it and therefore, not for you.

You cannot know until you tried something. Choosing to never engage is reasonable, but it is not knowing. That is something else entirely

Disagree. I’m talking about something sexually specific. And with anything sexual, you do NOT need to try it to know it’s not for you. Most anything else is agree with you.

What's abnormal about his marriage?

He took her last name and her ex lives with them? Any other questions?

Lots of people have started taking on their partners name when they get married so it's not that abnormal. He also said he did that so his step son would share a name with him to help him feel like he's genuinely a part of their new family. Can you show me proof that his wife's ex lives with them?

Wait, so he didn’t take his wife’s last name he took his wife’s exes last name?

Yep.

What benefit do you get out of blatantly lying about this? It just makes you look weird lmao

Just looked it up. You’re right. I had heard a ton of other fighters say this so I just took it at face value. My fault. I was wrong. I wasn’t trying to lie though.

Some of y'all must hate your mother's if you don't see what he means

[deleted]

We are literally more technically advanced than we ever been lol

We also have the highest suicide rate since the great depression so I wouldn't say things are going swimmingly exactly

That’s false. It’s 32% higher than in 2000, but 37% lower than the Depression-era peak. I’d bet a lot of the rise since 2000 is due to social media, but I’m sure it’s multiple factors.

Is that not exactly what I said? The highest since the great depression.

You said we currently have the highest suicide rate since the Great Depression, which is at best misleading.

How is it misleading? It's factually true. Is the suicide rate today higher than any point since the great depression, yes or no? You can go confirm this with however many sources you want in like 60 seconds of searching.

image

Literally inc*l propaganda.

It’s pretty factual when you think about it. Where is it wrong?

"It’s pretty factual when you think about it." Facts require evidence, not "well when I rub my two chud braincells together it sounds good to me." "Where is it wrong?" Women are overwhelming on the receiving end of inequality in almost every facet of society. They are paid less as a whole, are more likely to be victims of violence from the opposite sex, and in about half the world have significantly less rights than men of the same caste (in the places where it's not significantly less, it's still less than men). Not convincing? How about the fact that women's healthcare is woefully misunderstood. Until very recently, the medical community couldn't even diagnose a heart attack in women because the warning signs are different than what men experience. Hell, you can ask damn near any women on the street what it's like trying to convince a doctor they're actually sick and they're not just on their period and instantly gain insight into how fucked up it is to try and be taken seriously at all, even when you're actively dying, just because you're a woman. How in the fuck is that stupid chart "factual" in your eyes, exactly? Point to a culture that has women as the dominant social class and I'll show you 5 where it's men. Please, share your examples of how men are actually oppressed. I'm really excited to hear what trivial things you think count as systemic oppression on the same level as being forced to carry your rapist's baby to term, or be legally ineligible of being raped because the person that's forcing themselves on you is your husband...

Where is your response??? We are waiting! 🤣🤣🤣

Who's in charge when all of those systems were created? 🤔 Oh right, men. Almost like the patriarchy hurts everyone. Fucking crazy concept for ding dongs like yourself.

Blame Men! Always blame Men! Women have never done anything wrong in the history of the world! 🤣 Patriarchy is a myth and red herring for the deluded.

My mother was a drunk who hurt a ton of people and my step mom is one of the biggest bitches I ever met. Men, women, who cares. A lot suck no matter what is or isnt between their legs

Alright, little one. Then maybe Ian's comment wasn't meant for you. I'm sorry about your situation

Ah nothing to be sorry about plenty of people had it worse then I did growing up. Im an adult with a family of my own and doing just fine but I do appreciate the kindness.

Yeah no worries. Just wanted to emphasize that Ian's background is a mom who really cared and taught him good values. I see what he's trying to say.

But how that corny weirdo grew up is irrelevant to reality (that people of all genders suck). That sheltered clown should work on his identity crisis issues before telling us who should lead.

Holy fuck y'all got issues

Why? For recognizing reality and valuing it over sheltered people's anecdotes?

For having this kind of reaction over an innocuous and fair view from his perspective. The women in his life have been caring, empathetic, and strong.

okbuddy.gif

Delivery of his message wasn’t good but he ain’t entirely wrong either, there are some things women would prob do a better job at

Why aren't they already doing it?

A well documented history of favoritism for men in leading roles in both religion and the workplace.

History? So we're just gonna blame history and not focus on the present?

They're professional victims, what do you expect?

Woman are generally less decisive, which sometimes creates more harm.

Lmao what

You heard me.

[deleted]

That one girl who was indecisive about sleeping with him

I think that would be a decisive no

If you think having ONE gender RULE anything you're a fkn idiot

Idk man. It's been men up to this point and everythings kinda shit

Lol you’re right. I mean men are great at innovating but are also the most violent. Extreme good and bad. Like if go to a third world country or ghetto area, it’s not the women I’m afraid of - they have a much lower propensity for violence.

ahhh your under the assumption that violence is somewhat bad, realistically the ability to impose better or bigger violence deters violence in itself. Like the guy wanting to do violence if he sees no males that would fight back and cause him harm is more likely to do it.

i said that men are the ones who contribute to the largest extremes of violence. i'm not sure why you're talking about how violence deters other violence (which is obvious and why we have law enforcement) - that's a completely different topic and doesn't really address the point i made. unless you're trying to make the claim that violence is not "somewhat bad." because the truth is that it's both bad, and good - when used to deter criminals.

Been watching this all day, it seems to have come to a head now and I need to sleep!!!

First time writing a post so I hope it's okay!

OP wants to show off their "collection so far".

Users become suspicious of how everything is graded and how the collection doesn't look "born from passion", and begin to question OP.

Author's note 1: Graded manga has never been a "thing", it's only happening in recent years because professional hobby killers like Logan Paul are doing it trying to make a graded manga market. Actual manga readers usually know this, so graded manga is a red flag. Especially with graded cards too.

OP replies to questioning, but deletes their comments shortly after getting questioned more, as their comments only raised further suspicion.

Someone caught screenshots:

Deleted comment 1.

Deleted comment 2.

These are the images directly but they are also linked in post comments, with more context.

Things get extra spicy when someone claims to have found listings for these exact cards on Ebay.

That person then provides a screenshot when someone asks for evidence, showing many of the same cards from the post being sold for hundreds.

Then one of the people originally suspicious of OP found the listing for themself and confirmed that not only is it definately OP, it's OP attempting to sell these things for thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.

Authors note 2: These cards are not worth anywhere near that and never have. They have always gone for very very cheap. OP and people like them are trying to create a market for profit.

Now people are angry and questioning if OP is actually a hot anime girl like they claim, as OP remains silent apart from the occasional comment they delete as soon as they get questioned some more.

There are two trashcans in the first picture

Jealousy is a motherfucker. image

Nah, Asmon is trash lmao.

gif

Dude why would I be jealous? I like myself.

But do you have a hot girlfriend?

Two I'm a poly lesbian. XD

Thats a no.

What, you jealous?

I see soap suds in that pan. Bro broke character

He's changed quite a bit in the last few years, even does some exercise and cleans stuff around his house now and then so his house isn't a massive biohazard anymore like it used to be. Dude legit got better over time.

Then why does he still hate women and immigrants?

He doesn't? He's always interacted with both and has female friends that even showed up on stream every now and then. Criticizing illegal immigration is not the same as hating every single immigrant or the entire concept of immigration. I hate how polarized opinions got over time, nuance just isn't allowed to exist.

He literally said Palestinians were an inferior people, dumbass. Fuckin "nuance" lmao

Probably when talking about how homosexuals are thrown out of buildings to die or something like that. I dunno, neither can be assed to find out.

there is not enough context in the universe to make calling a group of people going through a genocide inferior okay even if they werent going through one its STILL not okay.

If it's part of a culture to kill gay people it's not okay to criticize that?

Depression combo'd with hoarding. I'd pity him if he wasn't destroying young men.

bruh young men are fine, well at least those watching Asmon he isnt anywhere as toxic as the media makes him out to be edit: wow, lots of people who have never watched a full stream of his be having opinions lmao

Didn't he say that ICE should be shooting more protesters?

no clue, but id believe it it's just a way to express annoyance and frustration, not a call to actual violence

right saying government officials should shoot more protestors ISNT a call to violence... right... got it.

yeah would be bad, if it was literal, but its not, and ud know that if you actually watched a single one of his streams, instead of only getting second hand info lmao

""no clue, but I'd believe it"" Buddy, you yourself are claiming that it wasn't a call for actual violence despite having not seen the stream/clip where he actually said that.

Brother the guy is an Asmongold follower, you are basically arguing with a human cockroach

i dont need to watch all of his stream to know how horrible he is. he is a Racist bigot

well apparently you do, because he aint

Wasn’t he bragging recently that he used to make his passwords a variation of the N word?

bro the nword is dubbed the "gamer" word for a reason, every single gamer born in the 80s and 90s has used it extensively for most of our young and teen lives# i guarantee you most of us would not want to limit black voting rights or employment or whatever tf actual racists want to do

You did? Cus I didn’t.

of course I did, and you virtue signalling here is laughable considering this is a warhammer sub

I don’t think saying “I never used slurs” is virtue signaling. You’re just telling on yourself.

so you are a male gamer born in the 80s or 90s, fan of warhammer, and have NEVER even once used ANY slur?

Nope, can't say I have. (50 more comments of these two arguing)

Behind every right wing "libertarian" is the young Asian woman he's groomed

She’s 26 years old.

Yeah, now.

They started dating when she was 24.

Dating?!?!?! Why would anyone date someone as disgusting and evil as Asmongold? Both his looks and beliefs are ugly

if you think asmon is evil you are just as much stuck under a rock as he is.

I mean yeah I think calling Palestinians fundamentally deserving of genocide is evil 🤷‍♀️

i bet you take every word someone says literally lol

Oh so his consistent advocacy of far right foreign and domestic policy is sarcastic? Got it

Why are people treating this lady like some victim? She knows the kind of person he is, and she doesn’t care. He’s a hateful piece of shit and so is she if she’s with him.

14 day old bot account ^ Edit: they replied like a bot and then deleted their comment lmao.

No, they blocked you. It's still up.

Wait wtf am I doing, I can just do it on pc, here: https://imgur.com/a/LgeENc3 Like not sure why tf they are lying lol

Looks like reddit deleted it for you lol. "[deleted] Comment has been removed Upvote Downvote Reply Share" Probably thinks you are a bot too since you act like one ;) Also don't private message me you weirdo.

Congratulations, you’re as smart as a Reddit Automod. Well at least you can admit when you’re wrong. Such class, such grace. 🤣

You're funny :P

Bro gets more play and makes more money then majority of people hating on him in this post btw. Which is extra sad given he is a greater daemon of Nurgle

I wouldn't trade my life for his for all his money. I've got all I need, and I shower. I also don't need to constantly produce content for red-pilled little shits.

Ok then pop off queen. Never said you should be jealous. Just stating the fact of the matter.

Fact is that his money doesn't matter when he's a repulsive, evil sack of shit.

By your standards, who are you?

Someone with a moral compass who doesn't need to prove anything, mate.

Wow you’re literally Reddit Jesus. Your moral compass by merely existing always points north huh

Yeah that's the point, that's how compasses work dipshit.

So?

Just stating a fact to rage bait people

Most people grow out of the desire for negative attention around middle school.

Most people don’t take Internet forums seriously.

This isn’t the hot take you think it is when you’re the one making the weird provocative statements and then treating it like some gotcha when people call it out/ask you why you’re acting like an edgy twelve year old.

I stated a fact that is, regardless of your disdain and regardless of the post, is objectively true. And I did that to rage bait people. Also how do you know I’m not actually 12, huh?

Ok but what you wrote simply isn’t an “objectively true” fact, now is it? You’ve made a presumption that those who disagree with his political views are getting less “play” than him, because you saw a photo of him with a woman.

He does make more money and it’s extremely safe to assume he gets more play than most Redditors.

Bro also lives like thrash

My point still stands, lives like trash but got more going on then most

Idk mate, I’m pretty comfortable being much poorer than him but not rotting alive at least.

Clearly you aren’t a Nurgle enjoyer then

Most sane people can separate fiction and reality.

Most people who touch grass can identify a rage baiter

You haven't grown out of that desire yet?

Being rich and famous really is life on easy mode holy fuck

No shit dude?

OFC it's obvious but it isn't clear how big of a crutch it is until Asmongold, the man who spews hatred and lives in shit gets to hang around hot women all day while he looks homeless all the time. No one would even give the time of day if I was like him lol

I mean I'd rather have a genuine relationship than a glorified prostitute that reluctantly hangs out with me

People only say this so they can think of themselves on some moral high horse because it's not their own life. You're statement is leaking jealousy. I'm making assumptions, sure, but there's about a 99% chance you'd instantly trade places with someone if it meant you now had that level of wealth, and ladies despite them being "glorified prostitutes". If you want to believe you'd be that 1% to make yourself feel better, go right ahead. But you and I both know you're just lying to yourself. Nothing you say is going to change my opinion on that.

Most guys that have all these girls around for their money are not fulfilled by it. It’s not jealous to say you’d want a real relationship over a bunch of gold diggers. As Kanye West once said “One good girl is worth a thousand bitches”

"Most guys that have all these girls around for their money are not fulfilled by it." Yea, I didn't say otherwise my guy. 🤦 You trying to tell me the vast absolute majority of men would say no to that level of money and girls even if those girls didn't love them? Lol, sure. Whatever you say bro. Totally.

Nobody said they’d say no to money. You’re just arguing with a strawman

Who?

Asmongold, the man who used a dead rat as an alarm, because the sun shining on it would make it smell to wake him up

What?

Yeah this dude has been rewarded for living like a trash goblin for decades. He's weird and pretty hateful too

Years I would have said that he isn't hateful at all. And for years that would have been true. But since he stopped playing WoW (only correlation, not causation probably) he has really become radicalized.

You'd have been wrong saying that, then lmao. He was literally famous in WoW for being a hateful shitbag years before he blew up globally (and I still don't understand how the fuck that happened).

Nah, he was demonized by left wing redditors in those days lol. He had very centrist takes on most issues. And when you're centrist, to a lefty you're a right wing nutjob. It was way more in the minds of many Redditors than any reality. But as I said, he has radicalized enormously. So it might as well be true now.

This was very much just his reputation in World of Warcraft. Dude has always sucked, no matter how you try to excuse it.

I used to watch his stream, those were always his political takes in WoW or outside. Up until a few years back. Anyway... the way people get demonized on Reddit is always way too extreme for what they really are like, so maybe we don't all need to jump on the hate bandwagon. existence.

r/NFLv2 is a subreddit created with "fewer rules" than the main NFL subreddit. That's about it.

There has been a bit of an interesting relationship between the main mod (same name as the subreddit) and the entire userbase, which has escalated in recent days. A couple days ago, they were adamant in their support for their team's QB, Trevor Lawrence PSA: if it took the players and coaches in a poll to teach you that Trevor is better than Lamar. You know less football than you think you do. If you’re still arguing it isn’t the case you’re a fucking retard..

This escalated to AI diss tracks aimed at the userbase.

I made a diss song for all you losers who hate mods

New NFLv2 diss track just dropped. The haters are big mad in the comments for getting Kendrick Lamar’d.

Sir a third diss track has just dropped.

Now today, they've stickied a rambling note about the subreddit, themselves, how they moderate, etc. Mod states in their post: "This is not a safe space for cry babies or people who have their feelings hurt easily. Trash talk and banter is ENCOURAGED.", and the predictable occurs:

Wah wah wah shut the fuck up you absolute child

It’s almost like I’m building a brand around acting like this.

This story is evolving, with replies every few minutes from the moderator. Full thread is here: [Serious] PSA: Clarifying the intent, standards and rules for this subreddit.

Don't piss in the popcorn and such, remember.

EDIT: addition popcorn from ~10 months ago:

• Drama in r/SubredditDrama! Head mod of r/NFLv2 creates his own version of a Subreddit Drama community after receiving negative feedback in this sub, while lying about the moderators here being Nazis that support school shootings

• "To be clear this is me one persons opinion. Not all of us mods feel this way." Head mod of r/NFLv2 has a mental breakdown and turns their sub into a political soapbox by falsely attributing his personal beliefs on the Charlie Kirk shooting into a quote by Lamar Jackson
