Background

Chris Watts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_family_murders) is a family annihilator who murdered his pregnant wife Shannan and two young children 2018. They were a striving middle class family in a mcmansion, with Shannan being a a stay at home mother/MLM scammer/influencer, and Chris earning relatively large sums on the oil fields. They had no recorded domestic violence history, no real criminal history, and were famously white attractive. Case got a lot of attention because the police released a lot of information, including bodycam footage of the moment Chris is confronted with evidence that his wife couldn't have run away with the kids in the way he claimed. After a day or two of telling the media he misses his disappeared family, he confesses to the crime and hundreds of hours of true crime content is born. He gets fan mail from crazies in jail to this day.

The defenders

Who would defend such a man, you ask? To answer that, we have to understand the volumous internet presence Shannan had on social media up until her murder. She posted several times a day, including livestreams, in order to shill her MLM product and present a curated picture of her 'perfect' life. These posts and streams are a morbid curiosity to people because Chris featured often, and people say you can tell he seems disinterested and disengaged even back then (to me he just seems like a guy bored by his wife's incessesant posting and filming, tbh).

Here is a compilation of relevant social media videos from Shannan to give a sense of her tone online:

Because of how widespread this is, it's near impossible to gaze upon any discussion of the topic without noticing how many people seem focussed on how unlikeable Shannan is, how hard Chris must have had it. At least until recently, reddit had snark-style subs dedicated to pooping on Shannan's online presence (which seems like a dead end considering there is only so much content she will ever produce). Shannan's personality on social media is so fundarnetally annoying and unlikeable, apparently, that hordes of people are more compelled by that than the cold blooded triple murder by her husband.

From the comments of the video above:

>Chris did not like being on camera, you can tell.

>Did she really record these massively long videos and post them on Facebook? I feel like the average person would not watch the majority of these lol

>The first one is so cringe. Everybody trying to act like they're rockin' and rollin' to some shitty cover band with zero attendance. Ick.

>She is annoying but that doesn't warrant murder

>If you are constantly filming, I don't think you are truly engaged in the moment.

>This woman was so desperately addicted to posting everything about her life online that 3 hours of online silence was all her neighbor needed to know something was wrong

(this refers to the fact that Shannan's loved ones got police involved mere hours after her middle-of-the-night murder simply because she hadn't yet posted an obnoxious video or livestream on FB that day lol)

>The dude should have just left her, the constant filming would have been enough for me. Totally unhinged behavior, when I see families in restaurants all on their phones, I just think I'm so glad I'm not you. Zero parental skills.

>He should've got the balls to tell her that, "her job isn't real, social media isn't real and I think I'm falling out of love with you."

>Shes very dismissive of Chris making him look like he's really awkward.

>I can't imagine live in relationship when my partner record everything all the time and post it ...

And so on. This isn't even one half of it. And these comments are about a woman who was violently killed by her husband while she slept.

Reddit

Anyway, Reddit somehow has allowed a large community of Shannan Watts (murder victim) snark subs to thrive. Some key posts:

https://old.reddit.com/r/WattsFree4All/comments/16zkuoe/shannon_watts_and_the_ridiculous_shirts/

In this post, redditors mock her for tacky t-shirts and clothes she put on the children (before their murder)

https://old.reddit.com/r/WattsFree4All/comments/1g1s63h/lupus_shmupus/

In this post, Shannan is mocked for at one point saying she might have lupus but posting things on facebook that indicate she may not have lupus.

https://old.reddit.com/r/WattsFree4All/comments/1cigxc2/having_no_balls/

Redditors theorise to what extent did Shannan emasculate Chris, prior to her murder.

https://old.reddit.com/r/WattsFree4All/comments/16t49mb/i_thought_it_was_just_me/

A redditor rejoices at finding a sub of like-minded people who, like them, also hate the murder victim:

>When I first heard of this case, I was so shocked. But from the very beginning, what I learned of SW irked me. After watching the TV shows, including Netfix, I really disliked everything about her. But every media thing I read praised her. The videos I found showed her in a shining light, lol. I finally dropped it and moved on.

Lmao OP saw the coverage "woman and her two kids murdered in cold blood" and really laser focussed in how irritating the victim was.

Anyway, you can explore the sub yourself - search by top posts for most dramatic and angry redditors.

The point

I never promised I had a point. I suppose I find this drama-worthy because it's truly fascinating to me that this woman was apparently so annoying, and hit on so many of reddit's sore spots (fake disroder cringe, influence life) that it overrode the normal reddit instinct to find a female victim of her husband murdering her and her kids sympathetic. To be clear, none of these people met Shannan while she was alive or even saw her posts prior to her death. They have created an image of her post-mortem they find so infuriating they are posting about it six years later. Majority of the reddit users are women, which further excludes inceldom as a

primary motivator.

I, for one, strive to be such an annoying person that my eventual death by murder is the least interesting thing about me.

Happy hannukah!

In the wake of Yun Seok-yul's abortive coup attempt, the left-wing party (DP) has been racing to take complete control over the government and imprison those oppose them. Remember that the rightoids were saying that they were doing the coup because "pro-North Korea" forces were plotting against the country. I don't know if he was actually correct or the DP are just being opportunistic, but it makes all this a heck of a lot more morally gray. The DP:

• Is legit pro-North Korea. (Seriously bro, look at these people going back to the 1970s.)

• Impeached Yun Seok-yul but then impeached his successor after that. They're on the third guy in line and threatening to impeach him. That would cause total chaos because that's how far their line of succession goes. Apparently they intend to topple the executive branch and cause a constitutional crisis.

• The leader of the impeachment team is a pro-North Korea terrorist. No literally, he was handing out Juche leaflets and bombed the US Ambassador's residence.

• They want to immediately ban "fake news" in personal text messages.

• Polls show that suddenly people don't think the rightoids are that bad in comparison anymore. Leftoids claim that the polls suddenly all became biased against them so it must be a conspiracy. Where have I heard that one before?

Of course you'll never hear about this in the mainstream western media. They keep portraying the idea that there's any ties between the South Korean left and North Korea as a conspiracy theory. That's one of those big fricking red flags, when they're completely open about this within their own country but spin a completely different story for foreigners.

Wow. Congress just tabled a bill that would *actually* kill open-source. This is easily the most aggressive legislative action on AI—and it was proposed by the GOP senator who slammed @finkd for Llama.

my friend finds basically every girl his age who’s in decent shape attractive. this actually seems like the ideal way to be wired?

Turns out, the gender that can reproduce in 30 seconds instead of 9 months is wired to not be very picky when it comes to whom to frick.

This is a follow-up from [NO DRAMA] A Reddit poweruser keeps getting to the top of /r/waltdisneyworld by posting bathroom selfies.

He's still posting and his content is just looking more and more fetish-y. I think the mods must have banned a lot of people because there are only two removed comments this time in a sea of thirsty thirsty single moms.

He still commands top post in /r/waltdisneyworld whenever he posts and spends the rest of his time spamming low-effort Musk spam to /r/enoughmuskspam.

He also posts to /r/disneyparks where I guess the mods are less active:

Why would he need to mention other people's children ?

Let people enjoy posting selfies in a public bathroom @FearOfBees

Some other recent submissions:

And don't forget, anyone who thinks that public bathroom selfies are weird is a racist.

How is any of this directly and exclusively related to Walt Disney World?

/u/marleythebeagle is a fricking weirdo

If OP violates rules, posts something that isn't allowed, or breaks sub rules, we will remove the post. All this OP has done is share excitement and positivity about the park, all while facing constant criticism, negativity, and quite frankly veiled racism. You, have no idea where he is posting from, maybe that's the restroom in his dorm room or apartment, maybe it's not a public restroom at all, I wouldn't know because no one else has ever been in one of his pictures except him, nor have there been other identifying information. Dude is just finding a good mirror to take a picture of himself in, it's really that simple. Also we typically wouldn't consider a mod application from a user that has been recently banned. Thanks!

What did the mean by this?

I have 2FA on (authenticator based not phone number based), I use a randomly generated password, I've removed all active sessions, but someone keeps changing the password somehow and adding a new phone number. I don't know why either they haven't tried to buy anything.

How tf are they doing it. If it happens again I'm probably just gonna close the account as I barely ever use it.

Semi-bimothy Mozzilatards seething over Market Share Thread

Almost like there is a correlation

That's right, a negative correlation.

And still people donate money to these crooks lol

I'd be comfortable donating towards the development of Firef*x. Currently, that is impossible.

So is Wikipedia. Every year those scammers lie abut being on a verge of bankrupcy. All the while they spend less than 13% of money raised on actual wikipedia, rest goes into SF offices, executive compensation, "outreach" and building a trust which is already in hundreds of millions and would found wiki operation infinitely just from interest already.

Interestingly, if you pay enough attention to this graph, the most accentuated downfall in market share coincides with the least rise in chair's pay. When chair's pay increased the most, market share was dropping at a lower rate.

A description after seething through her reels:

*Is a typical giga ultra shit lib white woman single mother

*Got cheated on, and devolved into the cliche of hating all men

*In turn, starts feminizing her son's online

*Posts videos of them dancing to Taylor Swift and teaching her son's "not to be mysoginists", because men inherently are

*Refuses to allow the father to help raise them

*Is a fricking Swiftie and thinks Swiftshit is a source of being a good person (schizo)

*Posts such typical superficial shit lib talking points, you can predict them with barely a thought

*Thinks she's surrounded by patriarchy

*Is so detached from what men actually do in life, she's a delusional perpetual victim that thinks men have an easy life

*Is a narcissist, with neurones purely based off online dopamine likes

*Thinks she's a stronk independent woman entrepreneur smashing the patriarchy, one narcissistic insufferable reel at a time

The rare actually good SRD post

In tonight's subreddit drama we have a user make a post in /r/bronxghanistan (a sub dedicated to gang culture in the Bronx) titled

I should boom one of these 1300 clowns right?

with a photo of some young men hanging outside a convenience store captioned

"10 upmarseys and ima make citizen app"

He initially gets clowned on as most people seem to believe he's all bark and no bite, with comments such as

N***** stood across the street & zoomed in 😭😭😭

And

This the corniest post of 2024 u barely made the cut bro

To which OP responds

We just hit 10 upmarseys check citizen app

At this point a few users post screenshots from the app showing a notification says a 12 year old girl and adult women were shot at the very same convenience store OP was at, and thankfully they remained in stable condition

The thread gets locked shortly after and a mod comments

To Reddit admins this is all lies / fantasy and cap shit is not real we don't condone violence - Lil Durk voice ‼️

Unfortunately it seems to be in fact real with the story later updated to include four other men who were the intended targets who used a 40 year old mother as a human shield and her 12 year old daughter getting shot in the leg.

Edit because there's some things I forgot to add

The news article states there are two suspects so he probably didn't act alone

He didn't delete any of his posts, comments, anything and is STILL actively using his Reddit account it has the little green dot next to it 😭

Also this pic is from the NY Post and you can tell it's the same store OP took a picture of bc of all the lights

Too many men fall into the false reality trap: that foids are humans just like us.

Foids operate on instinct, and their instinct is to by default hate any man that is not highly useful to them.

A foid is almost invariably trying to use you for personal gain in most scenarios.

Do not be kind to foids.

Do not help foids.

Do not train foids well: if you are forced to train a foid train them poorly so they get fired quickly.

Never let a foid befriend you. Be suspicious of any foid that makes eye contact with you. Spread bad rumors about any foid you feel is a threat to you.

For anyone unfamiliar, the eponymous "crises" in the title are NOT about the evil orange man who is bad - Notes on the Crises is a political economy newsletter started a few years ago by Nathan Tankus to comment on the intersecting global economic disasters triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nathan is a @TracingWoodgrains style "truth neurodivergent" not a wingcucked political hack. He's just a big giant dork who does things like FOIA request the minutes from all US Federal Reserve Board meetings from 1967-1973

Nathan looks like this, and I would believe almost anything that he writes, because it is backed by powerful neurodivergent spirits.

When he writes about the COBOL code in the treasury department, I'm confident he's talking to beardy old men who write and maintain that code.

I would also like to clarify some confusion on social media. The issue with understanding and grasping a COBOL system is not knowing COBOL, as a programming language, in the abstract. Nor is it, god help me, something that AI can "do" because you fired one of these chatbots up and got some code that could compile when you asked "write me some COBOL code". The issue is understanding the specific physical limitations of the system, the way that it interacts with the "Business Logic" of the code and a million other contextual factors.

There is specific code which tells you where to direct specific payments in specific ways and the structures, and why they are structured the way they are, requires deep contextual knowledge. This is "business logic". The entire issue with COBOL and why it has been such a struggle to maintain it is that COBOL systems (both private and public) developed for decades with very little documentation, have a million different path dependent coding choices. Mar Hicks 2020 article in Logic Magazine "Built to Last" is worth a read on this topic.

This is what I meant yesterday when I referenced that 30 different COBOL systems at Treasury had developed their own "dialects" and they launched Payment Application Modernization (PAM), which among other things, unified them. What they unified was the business logic of those systems (as well as likely other factors, most notably the physical architecture of the systems they ran on). Part of me wishes they didn't modernize with PAM because those 30 different and distinct systems would have been more secure from their infiltration. PAM processed 4.7 trillion dollars of payments in 2024.

It's also true that some similar issues can emerge with other more recent programming languages and the way "business logic" emerges if a mission critical IT system developed using a more recent programming language. But COBOL is unique; after all it's literally "common business-oriented language". So while knowing the COBOL programming language is better than not knowing it, it does not make that much of a difference with these young Musk programmers mucking about.
