The downward spiral keeps going, yet another CT sub has fallen. 😭 Cumboys and cumgirls are the most persecuted people on reddit. Nick leaves, and now reddit kicks us off again. Dark times.

Many NSFW subs recently got banned for being "unmoderated" actually like /r/drugs. reddit sucks butt.

/r/redscarepod is next in line for the rope, betting on it.

Edit: NVM it's back up

Americans. Explain to me why this quality of writing disappeared off TV and why do your foids hate funny things so much.

The EU has 450 million people, a nuclear-armed country and several more countries that could build nukes in a year or two if they decided to, and a $20 trillion GDP.

Every time I see articles that are like "Europe must prepare its security for a world without US help" I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Europe faces no serious external threat. People who think that Putin is going to try to launch a war against a EU country after 3 years of barely conquering a few villages have no understanding of how military affairs work. Who buys this crap? "Oh no a country that has 1/4th of our population and 1/10th our GDP is going to attack us, we all need to prepare to raise armies now that Drumpf told us we suck". It's ludicrous. Putin is r-slurred but he isn't ideologically motivated like Hitler was, he isn't going to risk his regime by invading any EU members.

The smartest guy at my highschool, a legitimate genius that got into both Oxbridge unis but chose to go to Manchester b/c of their nuclear physics department and got a job offer from CERN halfway through his degree dropped out to play WoW, turned trans and launched a porn blog https://t.co/gxCBRGHv7Y

Top Drama

Relative Drama (takes into account the size of the subreddit)

autodrama: returning jobs to dramneurodivergents. Ping HeyMoon if there are any problems or you have a suggestion

For context, Alexandera Houchin is a niche lolcow and currently the flavor of the year in the obnoxiously socially conscious world of alt cycling. She's a fat, nativeish girl that decided to start riding ultra endurance MTB races on a single speed but also managed to finish the Tour Divide (continental divide mtb/gravel bike race from Banff to the Mexican border) without losing any weight. Since then she's been on a victory lap trying to hoover up whatever sponsorships she can get before her knees explode, sort of like a BIPOC !bikechads version of Ragen Chastain

Also Esker is a company that makes bikes for dumbfricks who want a Surly but wish it was more expensive.

>I understand your concern, and I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. Your point highlights an important issue, and it's one that has been raised by many users and watchdog organizations over the years. Reddit has faced significant criticism for how it has handled problematic content in the past, including "jailbait" subreddits and the sharing of sexualized material related to minors, even if they are in the form of cartoons or anime.

>In 2018, Reddit did take action against some of these problematic communities. They banned a number of subreddits that violated their content policies, including those that contained content related to exploitation or sexualization of minors. However, the issue of moderating such content at scale on a platform as large as Reddit can be very challenging, and not all content is always immediately caught.

>It's also worth noting that in recent years, platforms like Reddit have been pressured more by advocacy groups, lawmakers, and the public to take stronger action against illegal and harmful content. Despite this, instances where harmful content continues to exist or slip through the cracks are unfortunately still part of the broader issue of platform moderation, and there are calls for even stricter policies, enforcement, and transparency in handling these matters.

>When you report illegal content, it's important that those reports are taken seriously. Reddit, as well as other platforms, must comply with legal obligations and remove harmful material, including CSAM, once flagged. If you feel that your reports haven't been appropriately addressed, it's also possible to contact law enforcement or organizations like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), which work directly with platforms to help address these issues.

>Thank you for speaking out, and I really appreciate your concern for this topic. If you have any further questions or want information on how to escalate reporting or get in touch with advocacy groups, feel free to ask.

PMC_GENEI_RYODAN STANDS WITH ISRAEL

Got axed. Not going to say which agency.

I've always considered myself extremely tolerant and willing to love people as they are… even if we don't agree on everything.

I've never been an Orange Man supporter, but I've kept it civil with friends and family that were. Some of them liked having a civil conversation about him. Some were belligerent about politics, so we didn't bring it up and tried to enjoy each other's company.

Getting cut from a great job that I really believed in with no notice has been extremely traumatic. It's still raw, but I feel so personally betrayed by those that voted for him. I can't see past the politics anymore when I look at these people I care/cared about.

Some have been contrite and apologetic, but then turn around and support him and VP Musk on social media.

I just can't right now.

I'm thinking about posting something and wishing the whole herd all of the best, hope they have a good life, but I won't be in it. Or maybe I just quietly block all of them and focus on myself for a while.

I do know that I will need to talk to my in-laws. I've always had a great relationship with them, but thinking of going to their house and watching Fox News almost makes me sick.

AITAH for feeling this way? Does it make me an AH for cutting all these 20+ year relationships off? Am I overreacting and acting out of emotion?

It doesn't sound like such a bad idea, being out in nature rather than being locked up in a psych ward. IDK why libsharts are freaking out so much over it? It literally sounds like some hippy green tree hugger stuff that they usually love.

vincent draws his match with magnus, meaning.......bozo magnus is out, from his own tournament was busy so havent looked at his postmatch whines

https://old.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/1intwjz/keymar_eliminates_magnus_carlsen_in_semi_finals/?sort=confidence

hikaru fails to win and gukesh refuses to win. after 3 draws, their 2nd tiebreaker is going on

edit: gukesh is victorious, in their bid to not win a match. (he lost if you are neurodivergent)

back to the main highlight, world no 2 caruana vs no. 31 sindarov

neighbor caruana accepts draw in a totally winning position and when i say total, totally. -5.3 on the eval bar winning. maybe the reason was he had a min on the clock and sindarov had whopping 24. whatever is the uzbeck version of voodoo, its working

they then had a nailbiting tiebreaker - that was a draw too and are currently playing their 2nd one. sindy will win it!

I'm not familiar with the United Church of Christ, is this a commonly held belief of it's members?

The answer is no. Unless you want a divorce or to be miserable. There are small differences that are fine but you're talking about major values and that's a big no no.

You can disagree on the best NFL team (Go Birds 🦅) but for fundamental things, you must be on the same page or, as you mentioned, there will be lots of fights and resentment in the future.

You can disagree on stuff like sports teams, restaurants, vacation locations. As soon as your disagreements reach "Human rights", then you're in a major issue. You will be with someone who believes some people are destined and deserve eternal punishment for the love they show being different. Take that how you will

OH NO BUDDY!

How sad is it that I, a sperg who irregularly uploads mainly audio only content of niche rdrama schizos and obtuse political satire, has garnered more subs than a guy who uploads daily normieslop raccoon and car videos from his house that his dead cuck father begrudgingly gave him so he wouldn't kill himself and join his fiance in the afterlife?

I guess that argument for not coming on and debating pizzaking has crumbled. Any guesses on the next cope?

Whenever humans want to pass judgement on their quality of life, they look to their left and right, to the people above and below them, to their children's generation and how much better their live would be than their own. However, all these people fail to look in the direction that matters, which is backwards at the hellscape that they have developed and been born beyond.

90% of humans in the world will never know what missing a meal because you have no money feels like.

For the average human alive today, they are not expected to work till the age of 18, surviving on free gibs for the first 18 years, and expect to retire by 65, which gives the average person 7 more years of not having to worry about working every day to stay alive. In total for 25 years out of 72 years of existence, the average human doesn't have to work to keep themselves alive. 33% of their lives spent just chilling, and even in the working ages, they get two days out of the seven days of the week off. Which is 13.42 additional years of time spent not working. That is a total of 38.42 years of a persons life, or more than 50% of a persons life where they are not working through a day to support themselves, and we aren't even including the vacation time here.

Meanwhile, we look at the animal kingdom, and you are lucky if half your progeny survive to adulthood. You drink dirty water and raw food that shortens your lifespan to a few decades at most, generally 20-30 years time if you are very lucky. Every day is a struggle. Energy needs to be conserved 24/7. You are either acquiring short term resources until those run out and you have to hunt or scavenge again, or you are resting and conserving energy for the next hunt or scavenging mission. You do not have the time, intelligence, or resources to make things better, to make things easier. You simply are born into the life you will live and you die with nothing changing for those that will come after you.

It is only in the human realm that the worst deal you can get is that 10 years down the line things will be better. Even in your worst case scenario, quality of life moves from complete shit to slightly less shit, and your kid will always grow up with a slightly better shirt than you did, even in the worst scenarios, for 90-99% of mankind.

Yet all we hear day in and day out is how bad life is. How meaningless existence is. How everybody is being taken advantage of every single step of the way. How there is nothing worth working for.

All of it is bullshit. The whining of manchildren who cannot appreciate how good they have it, because they can only compare their life to their neighbors and their betters, and live every day insecure in the knowledge that somebody better exists out there.

That is why the west so often relies on foreign labor and immigrants now, because the third worlder is the last group of humans left who can appreciate living in the developed society enough to agree to "suffering" through the lesser paradise where things will still continue to keep getting better for his children over time.

Meanwhile the average westoid is resentful of the best quality of life provided to him on the planet, where because of cost disease, he can flip burgers and still get paid 10x more than another person putting in the same skills and twice the effort in the third world. Providing the westoid with a far better quality of life. Is he grateful for it though? No. Never. Because all he knows is that there are people better than him on the planet. Incapable of embracing a utopia even when he was born into it, because he didn't get the throne.

This is the true tragedy of the modern times. A people living as the superior species on the planet with things getting better forever, but instead of finding joy and optimism in this stability, they only find a lifelong insecurity, forever left feeling like they can never be enough.

That is the tragedy of the developed world. An entire society drowning in the mental illness of lifelong insecurity, and it will be the death of them unless they make peace with their existence and accept that a forever improving life is good enough to be worth living, no matter what position you live it from.

Conclusion:

Be grateful for the life lived that will always end better than how it started. Be forever grateful for being born into times where you need not fight your own in a desperate bid to snatch the last slice of bread. Be grateful that you are born into times where you have the time to question the why of things rather than an entire life spent just surviving. Live your best life, and be free of guilt for it, for as long as the world moves forward, you are living a good life worth living.
