BUT THEN HOW IS EVERYONE GOING TO KNOW THAT OUR DICKS ARE BIG ENOUGH?!?!?!?!

/s

At first, I was mad. Then the slow, sad realization that you’re more right than not…

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. There’s too many people out there posting shit like this for real.

Name checks out

Well. Kids keep being murdered in schools. We’ve tried “thoughts and prayers” and “more guns”, and that really hasn’t solved the problem.

I think folks are just trying to limit access to guns except in specific conditions. You know - trying something different.

Wait, what? Instead of taking any ownership or introspection of your personal beliefs in the face of OVERWHELMING evidence that you’re supporting child raping traitor nazis, your response isn’t to reevaluate your support for them, it’s to deflect, double down on your support, “nuh uh, no you!”, and “both sides are bad”? You called me closed minded? Do you hear yourself?

There are trees out there working real hard to make the oxygen you’re wasting. As a great Canadian once said, “yer spare parts, bud”

Hyperbole? Where’ve you been, dude?

Remember when republicans keep blocking bans on child marriage?

Or how about when they keep getting caught fucking kids?

Right? I know!

“But whaddabout… whaddabout… whaddabout…” When Anthony Weiner got nailed, Dems dropped him faster than Giuliani dropped his pants for an underage reporter. Go ahead ask me - between Gaetz and Wiener, which one is still a congressman? If Trump gets caught up in the Epstein thing, republicans will circle the wagons and deny deny deny. If Bill Clinton gets caught up in it, Dems will demand he goes the fuck to jail. You know… because crime.

Then there’s the January 6th thing. That sort of explains itself. Donald Trump and republicans tried to use a violent insurrection and fraudulent electors to overthrow a constitutionally mandated process… so… you know… treason. You’re a traitor for supporting it. This one’s pretty simple.

Oh right! And the nazi thing. Between the concentration camps, the continued support of white supremacy, the embracing of authoritarian fascism, the overt xenophobia, the book bans (and let’s not forget the burnings!) and the continuous use of murderous violence and terroristic death threats… but you know - I’m probably just exaggerating.

Dude - I’m not just riffing. This is objectively true. These are facts. This isn’t a just a difference in ideology. If conservatives were actually conservative and not… you know… the rest of that stuff, I’d be down for it. You might not have raped any kids personally, but you sure as shit support people who do. Like… at this point, democrats kinda suck, but repubs are moustache twirling, cartoon evil. It’s not even close. The only way that you’re still a republican is that you’re living under a rock, or you’re a child raping traitor nazi. There’s no ambiguity anymore.

Child raping traitor nazi is fitting and objectively verifiable. Stop supporting kid fuckers.

If you are a republican, then yes. Because gestures broadly at the Republicans

I really hate the “us vs them” bullshit, but it’s real. I don’t like many of the Democrat policies and am on the progressive side. They suck. But the other side is literal child raping treason Nazis. The fact that I’m saying that with no hyperbole in 2024 is so fucking wild. I wanted the star Trek future with a merit based economy and green alien babes… Not this bullshit.

Preventative care is ENORMOUSLY cheaper than emergency care. Hospitals have a mandate to provide life saving care to anyone regardless of insurance or documentation status. When they don’t have health insurance, they wait until it’s an emergency and either destabilize the hospital system or raise premiums for everyone.

This is another example where “it’s just cheaper to pay for it”. It’s also another position that so called conservatives are against, even though it’s far more fiscally conservative to support. Guess y’all can’t get past that crab mentality.

It’s more evidence that the platform is being run by investors that don’t really know what they’re doing. Reddit was a great platform, but instead of spending energy to “fix search” or “build better admin tools” they put their focus into buzzwords and ads. The NFT profile snoos, the crypto approach - is just pandering to the idea of an IPO so that they can all dump their stock and make a buck. Likely used engagement numbers from before the layout changes to pitch advertising without updating them as to how engagement has changed.

If they had any intention of running the platform long term, they would balance the experience that Redditors are used to with a sober approach to advertising. They would create meaningful community features and charge for them as a community add on (such as a community event calendar that ISN’T Facebook, community marketplaces, association management, etc.) With the audience and reach that they have, the long term profitability of the platform was almost assured. They would have adopted federation in order to aggregate even more content. They would have rolled their own AI instance into their search and community recommendations instead of freaking out about it. Instead, we got NFT avatars that literally nobody asked for, because crypto bros.

Fwiw, the site has shit the bed. There isn’t nearly as many active users as people seem to think. There’s… A LOT of very obvious bots. New communities that being floated now are clearly gaming the algorithm. It’s very obviously different than what it was.
