Let's say this is possible, in a hypothetical and Reddit could police anonymous-esque accounts out of existence. Would people stop using Reddit? And maybe they had that feature the gram used to have so you can see that your friends post elsewhere. Would it be more civil? Less weirdos??
I think maybe you'd be less inclined to read some opinion of a fat. But at the same time, I've seen white girls using the n word under reels and notgaf.

"Is insert thing about America really that bad?"
Yes, you dumb fricks. It's almost like some of us spent years telling you how dangerous this shit was, where it could lead, and you all fricking ignored it. Or told us we were overreacting. I hate to say I told you so, but we fricking told you so. I mean it's all been so god darn blatant for years and now you're surprised? Have you had your head up your butt for the past 10 years?? Are you incapable of performing a simple Google search? Go frick yourselves. You are part of what enabled all of this.
So congrats on joining the rest of us in reality, it sucks huh? Now stop asking inane questions and do something useful.
Reading books would be good. They Thought They Were Free by Milton Meyer and It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis in particular. Idfk. Do the work and learn so you can help fight this. We don't need hand wringing piss babies
Read a book, you hand wringing piss babies.

I had a staff meeting this morning where I had to present some stuff my team had been working on, so I had to sit up at the front of the room with my boss and the leads and PMs of other teams, so I couldn't play on my phone or hide behind my laptop.
It was awful. I think computers and phones have brainrotted me. I tried to focus on other teams' boring presentations but I couldn't make myself care and I was super twitchy. At one point I locked eyes with the cute guy I fancy who was sitting at the corner of the table near the back, but then I was afraid he could see my crazed animal panic at being denied stimulation for even a few hours, so I think I may have ruined my chances with him.
I tried to mentally review my slides to prepare for my own presentation - my own talk is more interesting because it involves me , and stuff I know/sort of care about - but I already knew all those slides because I made them, so I couldn't entertain myself. There was an analog clock on the wall opposite me and I kept focusing on that: it had one of those second hands that doesn't tick, it just makes a ceaseless smooth sweep, arcing through time excruciatingly slowly. It takes so fricking long for a minute to pass when someone is reading slides of text to you in an accented monotone.
I used to sit through hours and hours of lectures and classes at university. I used to have the ability to focus and take in information that wasn't immediately entertaining or useful to me. I think I might be fricked or need medication or to burn all my electronic devices and run away to the woods to live deliberately and murder living creatures for sustenance and entertainment.

what is freestyle chess?
it is a variant created by the legendary racist bobby fischer where the last rank is shuffled up, tossing the opening prep out of the window.
FIDE, the big boss of chess, thinks they're the only ones who can use "World Championship". Freestyle Chess Players Club wanted to call their tournament a "World Championship" too, but FIDE wasn't having it. They told players to sign a waiver to stay cool with FIDE events if they played in Freestyle.
Things got spicy with both sides throwing shade. FIDE's CEO, Emil Sutovsky, said Freestyle Chess was just protecting the elite players. Freestyle Chess hit back, saying FIDE was pressuring players and even called for the FIDE president to step down.
After all the drama, Freestyle Chess agreed to drop "World Championship" from their promo stuff for the next 10 months. This was a move to keep things chill for a bit.
they are planning tennis like tour and F1 like point system.
the first Grand Slam 2025 Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Weissenhaus is going on rn. semifinals would start from tomorrow. would you like to bet?
tourney drama
magnus initially performed mediocre during the round robin phase, leading to people declaring him washed. currently he's playing games at 98% accuracy while eating fruits (banana)
caruana is rumored to have studied all 960 opening maps and has put the current FIDE world champ Gukesh in his place through straight upperhand matchups
sindarov, the last minute entrant, runner up of the qualifier has been upsetting people left & right. he even chose the tough matchup hikaru (the legendary streamer) for the quarterfinal, shocking everyone. currently playing the tiebreaker
prince ali, the topper of the round robin. current playing vincent (the weakest pick) and is losing lmao. edit: bozo lost

Yeah, when a fricking moron makes a claim that even a cursory Google search would easily disprove, people tend to get irritated. The same way people get upset when a clown tries to erroneously claim that the American Civil War wasn't fought over African chattel slavery or that the Earth is flat. The Nazis were far-right authoritarians, their entire political and economic ideology was predicated on the existence of racial and social hierarchy. Completely opposite to the doctrine of Socialism/Communism as outlined by Marx and Engels.The Third Reich was about as socialist as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is an actual democracy. Make stupid claims, get laughed at by the majority of informed people. A favorite Austrian economist and Lolbertarian/AnCap past time it seems. (43)

Ok. I feel like I've been most of the reasoning and you've been most of the name calling.The nazis very clearly considered themselves socialists. They even put it in their name. They used socialist tactics to get control, and they ran that country like a socialist country. They also killed the other socialists that weren't exactly their brand of socialism, just like all other socialists do when they get power. (1)

My father and other lunatics near his farm has had the bright idea to start a hobby farming into
cattle
For the past 4 months they've been building a dipping kraal, or a medicine application bead/holding, which is just basically a pre-built fence or passage where cattle/cows/goats/bucks or any other form of domesticated bovines are herded through, preferably one-by-one to apply veterinary care,
like spraying their fur with anti-lice or anti-parasite poison, or injecting them with vaccinations or whatever the particular situation requires.
This dipping passage system, can be technologically sophisticated
or locally rurally primitive - as has been done 100 years ago
https://www.farmersweekly.co.za/farming-basics/how-to-livestock/a-career-in-veterinary-nursing/
Large commercial farmers can even have hardcore systems to separate cattle into groups while applying medication, prior to selling for auctions or butcheries
THere's even companies which build custom, but pre-fabricated pens and dipping-passages which have proven to be very effective for commercial farmers
all looks very complicated, but what it boils down to is to aid in the driving on of domesticated animals, without hurting cattle or ranchers themselves, while also leaving easy access to the animals for medication care. There is no definitive surefire method or structure, they are as variable as there are farmers and stock.
Some act as multi-purpose structures, where once vaccinated, cattle are thenafter driven onto ramps, up to transportation trucks
which again can vary dramatically, from humble specialized trailers, capable of being pulled by any pick-up truck with sufficient power, to gargantuan commercial grade trucks capable of transporting a 100 bastards at once
Anyways, the nutjobs near my father's farm had started to construct a homemade dipping kraal/passage, by using manual labour and a generator bolted onto an shopping trolley's wheels! (this was from a month ago)
The dipping enclosure were to have wooden beams with giant rubber strip lengths surrounding the enclosure, to protect the cattle from harming themselves when they bump into the wooden beams, a the soft rubber softens the blow like the softened corners of a wrestling ring.
These giant rubber strips were pulled tight around the wooden beams with a specialized fence-wire pulling tool, which utilized leverage onto chains with a clamped with each segment
This "Draadtrekker" or "Wire-Puller" has this teethed mechanism, to consecutively "climb" onto a chain, to pull a wire clamped onto it's tail end, and uses leverage to strengthen the pull onto each consecutive chain link. It's operation is very hard to describe into words. But it basically "climbs" onto the chain, with the teeth hooks.
It's soft of like like a ratchet wrench type device but not really?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_(device)
The idea is to pull a wire or other material as taut as possible, to strengthen the wire's structure, usually for farm fences.
Saturday and Yesterday, my father had discovered that the 6 beeste had severe eye infections, to the degree that they were borderline blind. Their eyes were swollen and inflamed, and the cause uncertain - as they are supposed to be the type of local Safrican breed hardened against this climate and its parasites and illnesses. Regardless the cattle were really rough looking
TTheir eyes so swollen that they could barely see more than a few meters ahead of themselves.
One cow which was so angsty and evasive, literally ran away from my father in panic as it could not recognize my father - mistaking him from some other predator or whatever, despite usually running at speed whenever my father appears in the veld towards him, because my parents regularly feed them lettuce and carrots to make them used to humanity
This brought alarms to everyone, and soon he had called me from across the farm with dogshit 3rd world cellphone signal - i only noticed a "missed-call" in my SMS, and realized my father's intention. I had to run in 33 degree heat
and gather the two Lesotho laborers currently building the unfinished kraal, because the 6th cow was being so evasive, that it would require a multi-man concerted effort, to corral this beest into the dipping passage, in order to closely inspect wtf was wrong with it.
after lots of sweating we managed to not just gather the blind-beest, but also the other 5 beeste, into the unfinished, but luckily fully enclosed kraal, i had to run like hooligan and ram pipes into the exit of the dipping passage , to block off the exit, and ensure the 6 cattle corralled into the dipping passage, would not just exit like water from a funnel
so tired.
Then once they were within the kraal, structure we could clearly see at point blank, just how fricked up their eyes were. All 6 had problems, 3 of them had tears running down the sides of their faces endlesslly - it appeared that they had great aggravated suffering.
To compound this horror and bad luck, my father had enlisted the services of a farm animal vet, but he had decline to doctor them for eye and other parasite related shit, because he had stated that it was useless to apply medicine before symptoms showed
well now 2 weeks later we were all staring at blind 6 cattle with dark black tear streaks in obvious suffering.
We were all tired from the corralling efforts in a humid crushing 33 degree heat (which is nothing i know compared to the 40 degree heat in actually hot places in the country), so we decided to start lunch while my father made a decision.
We made boiled eggs and noodles, and my mother shared the same for the 2 Lesotho men (many SA employers can be ruthless and let men work without break in the sun, nor ever give them food)
After lunch my father had decided, we cannot wait even a week for a vet to come again, and that likely if these cattle were not treated, they could form permanent cataract-like debilitating ailments, or just become blind. He still had eye-treating medicine stored in his shed. And OH BOY did i not yet realize what we were in for!!
The next stage was to corral the 6 cattle from the outer kraal, into the dipping funnel passage, and to our woes, the structure was not yet finished, additionally the 6 cattle were spooky and uncooperative and we found it impossible to fricking separate them, thus we were only capable of herding all 6 into the funnel passage at once, so that they were squashed tightly.
This was not done for the sake of animal abuse, but because it was decided if we did not treat these animals here and now, blindness would follow - and we were without all the cowtools we needed, the passage was unfinished and we had not fricking vet with us.
Ironically, the fact that the cattle had squashed themselves so tightly, meant that they could not bump their heads in erratic spontaneous movements and hurt themselves.
We were supposed to have a headclamp ordered, but it was still a city away and had not yet been delivered, but this was an emergency, and again we could not fricking wait
Thus we had to also make to with the only pitiful rope we had - which the Lesotho men tied around the nearest wooden beam, and then the horns/mouth of the specific cattle we wanted to treat, in order to keep their heads still and unmoving - and once again this was not done for the sake of animal cruelty
Cattle/cows are unbelievably strong. You often see videos of city-slickers and people who've never encountered wild animals or even domesticated farm animals before and tourists dangerously approach large animals into their comfort-zone, only to get mauled/hooved and their body battered.
Cattle have necks with the thickness and strength of ten men's arms - i've seen before how careless ranchers or farmhands have their hands crushed
and their bones splintered from just one spontaneous movement of a cow's head, pinning a man's hand next to a wooden bean, or alternatively bending backwards every fricking digit of a man's fingers
because the usually docile and pleasant cow gets spooked and have no idea of their own strength compared to a human's, and unintentionally can cause tremendous bodily harm to its owners. Just one random jerk of an unaggressive cow's head can gore the arm of a reckless man.
The 6 cattle were stuffed and jampacked into the funnel dipping passage, and thus we placed two pipes at the entrace to the passage to block them in! i had to literally push the last cow in with all the force of my strength along with the two Lesotho men, while a 3rd pushed in pipes between the wooden beams to lock them inside!!!
From here on out we had to apply two types of medicine (which i cant spell or pronounce): One was a bottle of teardrop type medicine which was applied by lifting up the lids of the target cattle, and squeezing it onto the area of irritation/inflammation. The 2nd was an injection via needle which, as per the instruction of the vet, had to be injected into the eyelids of the cow!!!!
But a cow's eyelids are very thick and filled with blood-vessels, and much larger when compared to a human's
As you guys can imagine, no animal likes to have their fricking eyeballs messed with and manipulated, especially after they are hurting and highly irritated by whatever infected it, like a human's red-eye.
This was why we had been forced to stabilize the cattle's head, by tying it up, lest it hurt itself or us, in it's panic or pain.
Of course i personally was too much of a b-word butt wimp to personally handle the medicine and eyeball needle shit, so i balked at that part
but my father is giga hardcore and wen to great lengths to be gentle and shit.
finally after like 40 minutes, the poor cattle could dazedly and with stiff legs get the frick out of the cramped dipping funnel
we pulled out the pipes blocking the funnel exit, and they skedaddled out of there
what a nightmare
slice of life shit

The Tuxedo, 2x broken ribs, an injured paw, and some lacerations. After a night in the hospital, he is expected to make a full recovery. The same can't be said for the pibbles.
The velvet hippo wouldn't surrender its new play toy and turned on me when I tried to intervene. I gave the pibbles all 5 tines of a farmer's pitchfork. I lifted the bloody beast up and carried it to the barn. I wedged the handle in the dirt and pinned the velvet hippo to the barn.
It's like a Mortal Kombat fatality
With the pibbles elevated off the ground and skewered to the barn, it was no longer a threat. I then attended the injured cat.
The deceased pibbles had a collar. I notified the police. Animal control came out to make a report and take some pictures. The look on the officers face when she saw the pibbles pinned the barn was priceless. "Mother Fu*k, that's not something you see every day!"
The owner of the pitbull was charged for owning a dangerous dog at large and threatening public safety. Armed with the police report, I am now hiring an attorney and filing a lawsuit against the pibbles owner.
Also, I contacted the owner of the property whom I've known for decades. The tenants were not permitted to have a dog on the rental property. To avoid a second lawsuit, targeting the property owner, the landlord is evicting the tenants for violating the lease agreement.
I have no idea what the frick is going on at BPB lately. It used to have a stronger relationship to trolling (remember #PitBullDropoff?) before evolving into paranoid true crime foidery (would you rather meet a man or a pit bull in the forest?). At this point it just seems to be a place for surreptitiously getting off to animal violence. Lots of "pit bull gets kicked in the head by a horse" type videos. More recently people have started posting their badass 100% true stories about how they or their pets killed pibbles.

Some nonsense article has come out which cites:
A number of people connected to the Trump team have talked about "regime change" in the UK
'a number of people talking' holy shit total journ*list death
I didn't read it but basically it's about orange daddy wanting to get rid of
starmer so naturally it caused some spilled cups of tea in the cute twink subreddit.
regime change? heh good luck with th-
Is Keir Starmer really the last bastion of hope for a world without fascist leaders? I'm scared.
Hey remember like six months ago when he released 1700 violent offenders and suspended due process in order to jail people who commented emojis on facebook posts?
- man who can't purchase a knife without submitting a video of him next to his passport
I would think a UK headline "United Kingdom wants a regime change in the US" might prove popular.
We have about as much cache on the world stage as, say, Burundi. Paul Kagame publicly bent us over and this chap thinks he's

Coming from reddit user who was absolutely convinced Musk and his Bots are going to destroy democracy any day now?
stop you from meeting King Charles even though we have no power to do that
wow talk about soft power! We've really got Drumpf over a barrel on this one
I actually thought this was a joke until someone replied
clapping like a seal
Starmer could be described as a lot of things, socialist? Don't be silly…
Frick Trump and his regime. We need to keep his influence away from our way of life.
