they may have won this battle but the war is still ongoing. reddit is a public company, and it is a modern website, which means it is going to get shittier and shittier and it is never going to stop. i still go there for sports and news but anything of substance or merit i try to share here instead because fuck them. i think over time it’ll hollow itself out even more.

_number8_,

yeah, the sheer breadth of obscure topics that were able to form a sizeable enough group on reddit is so fragile and special and hard to replicate. such a shame.

He has a five-year plan

this is one of those business buzzwords that makes my skin crawl

_number8_,

and people get so pissy about like ‘where is muh serving of protein??’ like just because you saw an infograph as a child doesn’t mean you have to have a hunk of a living creature every meal

_number8_,

this just means the cops can do anything??

i mean shit i guess they can here anyway, but it’s stunning to see that written down. oh they thought they were doing the right thing? oh that’s fine then

_number8_,

i know america is ass but at least we don’t have this here, as far as i can tell

_number8_,

i honestly just hate reading stuff like this; the study is always a glowing success but we never ever do anything with the results

_number8_,

honestly the fact that we have artificial meats that are almost as good as proper meat, we should be switching entirely. we are creating and torturing trillions of souls simply so mcdonals can have burgers

i’ve had my current phone for 3 years and it’s been getting maddeningly slow lately. 2 weeks ago i took the case off and it legitimately feels sleeker and newer and somehow faster? or at least i’m better able to put up with the slowness cause it feels new? it’s very odd and i’m frightened at the psychology

_number8_,

i love WFH because i can wake up feeling like shit and log on immediately to start the clock instead of waking up on my own time and giving my peak hours to the capitalists

_number8_,

if there are speed limits i usually am forced to spend more time dicking around looking for signs or cops or checking the speedometer, instead of focusing on the road and how safe my current speed actually feels

_number8_,

i think most people don’t know the history and just figure it’s a normal country we’re allied with for the normal sort of reasons

_number8_,

similarly, it really irritates when people tiptoe around giving ‘medical advice’ online or scold people for asking mental health questions in a forum – which is designed for people to commiserate and share advice. ‘the doctor’ is inaccessible to many people for many reasons; it’s way less of a challenge to get out sensitive thoughts by typing online to peers vs asking A Doctor and getting a Professional Reply about it

_number8_,

i legit avoid stores where the staff are notably friendly and talkative. i just want to get the thing i need, not feel obliged to talk and rude if i’m not in the mood [which is unfortunately often, but still a reality]

_number8_,

this shit is so fucking obnoxious. if ‘introvert’ basically functions as a preferred positive label for people with social anxiety [ie ‘special needs’ instead of the r-word], fine. people with social anxiety ARE VERY LIKELY to be introverts because anxiety causes you to exert excess energy. having social anxiety shouldn’t disqualify you from being an introvert, that makes no fucking sense.

also lol this dude has another video called ‘Stop Being A Low Value Man’. i rest my case

_number8_,

hand to god, i’ve never understood the appeal of hanging out. oh you just sit around, except now you have to keep a conversation going?

i remember once in 4th grade my parents forced me to call another kid and schedule a playdate. it was agonizing

_number8_,

introversion & social anxiety are frequently comorbid for extremely obvious reasons. there’s no reason to gatekeep introversion.

_number8_,

it is FUCKING INSANE that apartments get to ask for all sorts of invasive shit like this and that’s just fine. yeah god forbid you take on any risk, we’re only committing to fucking thousands a month, fuck you.

_number8_,

at least we’re just having outside agitators disrupt our site rather than the admins slitting its wrists and letting it bleed out [whilst sucking the blood]
