For context, if you use the progressive stack award, your posts are (temporarily) treated as if they have 2x their actual upmarseys. This was thought of as so powerful by the jannies that it costs 1500 coins for just 6 hours. Now, if you make a post that gets 140 upmarseys, and at the same time someone makes an effortpost that gets 30 upmarseys, or chud ragebait that gets 50 upmarseys, your post will actually be below them on the front page. In fact, since upmarseys are basically normally distributed (getting 30 upmarseys is pretty average, getting 90 makes yours one of the top posts of the day, getting 150 would make it the top post of the day), any sort of multiplier would change the content of the front page immensely, let alone a multiplier so large it treats mediocre effortposts and slightly above average chud ragebait as superior to the actual top post as chosen by users.

The fact that /h/chudrama is blocked by default is irrelevant, because most active users have it unblocked, so even if you block /h/chudrama every post you make is still effectively being deranked. And besides, there are plenty of people who want to read /h/chudrama and not have it be literally the only thing they see on the front page

David Hogg is being a pig, according to Democratic National Committee insiders who are already slinging mud at the new party vice chairman.

Barely two weeks into his tenure, Hogg has been leveraging DNC contact lists to blast out messages soliciting donations to his own political action committee — from which he draws more than $100,000 in compensation a year, according to Federal Election Commission records.

...

Hogg co-founded "Leaders We Deserve" in August 2023 with the stated goal of electing young progressives to Congress and state legislatures across the country. It also provided him a six-figure income job right out of college.

Since the PAC was founded, Hogg has pocketed more than $175,000, records show, with more than $20,000 in salary payments coming in December alone, the most recent month for which public data is available.

Documents show that not only did the “Leaders we Deserve” PAC pay David Hogg $16,351.39 in May, he is also on the permanent payroll.

THIS MEANS HIS PAYMENT WAS NOT a donation. He represents the PAC with every single statement, post and speech he gives.

Me (cis f) and my soulmate (mtf) are having our son on Friday and we just finished her second lactation consultation today. She's been on a protocol of hormones that essentially mimics pregnancy and can trigger lactation it's looking like she's starting to produce a milky like substance which she got swabbed today during the appointment. Her breast development has also sky rocketed since the new protocol and she's really happy with that. She's just been glowing and I can see her confidence increasing which makes me so happy for her. If all is well she will be able to eventually feed our baby (we will both be breastfeeding).

The lactation consultant seems really hopeful and excited because there aren't many cases of situations like ours. There have been studies about trans women breastfeeding but what makes our situation a little different is that our baby is my fiancées biological son. I feel like in a way my fiancée will be able to help other trans women in the sense of providing the lactation consultant with this experience and further knowledge on MTF breastfeeding. Her lactation consultant has dealt with lesbian couples before, but not a lesbian cis/trans couple.

On top of that, my fiancée is so excited to be a mother and I know she's going to be amazing at it, I can't wait to see her hold and love our son and I'm so excited to start this new chapter with her. I love her so much.

https://old.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/comments/1ibj8zi/dr_phil_joins_chicago_immigration_raid_as_border/

I'm sorry, what the frick is "Dr." Phil there for? Is he an ICE agent now? Is Phildo the new Mike Lindell?

I won't link it, but there's a video of "Dr." Phil on his social media page basically interrogating a detained immigrant. I wouldn't be too surprised if this turns into a recurring segment as a propaganda piece à la Live PD.

Ugh I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility at all. He would selectively choose the craziest and worst people caught to highlight and make it like it's a representation of all the detainees. His daytime audience of idiots would eat it up

How stupid is it that conservatives doubled down on calling Kamala the Border Czar so hard they invented the position in the next administration so that way their criticism of her being in the aforementioned fictitious position would sound legitimate. She got tasked with brokering a deal with Latin American countries and businesses and successfully reduced emigration from those countries by around 20-30%. But no, it's easier to pretend like she was given the task of overseeing the border directly, which she wasn't. Lol

So you are a fascist that believes only those that share your opinion are worthy?G'head downmarsey this. Just realize that those that do are the reason y'all lost the election. (-53)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔘

No way you won't support a person cause of who they voted for. For them it makes sense. In fact Trump is even the better candidate. Imagine saying I'm not going to eat somewhere because of their beliefs and say their in the wrong. It's not like they're doing anything illegal or wrong. Respectfully, frick you and anybody who cares about political beliefs in a business, it's doesn't affect whether they can make a good product (-32)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔘

I think these people should be punished for what they voted for. (24)

So you want to "punish" people who don't agree with you? Indirectly punishing their employees, families and their local communities. You remind me of a young Austrian man who just wanted to be a painter. (-33)

Explain exactly, how supporting the Constitution is the "wrong side of history"? I'll wait. (-8)

Red herring. No where did I mention the constitution, but if you're going to bring it up in regard to this post about Trump-supporting businesses, then I'll say this: Trump has repeatedly violated the constitution:* Using his political power to profit from his businesses while in office (Emoluments Clause) * Enlisting foreign governments to investigate his political opponents (Ukraine 2019, for which he was impeached)* His administration repeatedly refusing to comply with subpoenas to Congress* Falsifying business records to hide illicit activity (Stormy Daniels hush money case, overvaluing his real estate) * Conspiracy to overturn an election (denial of 2020 election results, fake electors plot, pressuring political allies in key states to reject election results, asking Georgia officials to "find" votes for him)* Incitement of insurrection/riot.

The op has clearly made this "us v them". I don't care if a politician cares about me. That's not the role of government. Never has been. I don't think you know what the word fascist means. G'head, go look it up. Who i history jailed his political oponents? (-1)

We're talking about two different things. You're using false equivalency. OP doesn't want to support businesses who are directly contributing to the rapid and violent decay and destruction of this country. That is his free market right. What you're doing is acting like a sore winner by using childish, bullying taunts. But whatever, it's par for the course, I don't care about any of that.

Your group literally got offended bc target sold pride flags. Flags you didn't have to buy lol. But we need to grow up? And yes you support bigotry. Sexism. Racism. Homophobia. By voting Republican. They are already talking about repealing gay marriage. Why? Never mind the attack on trans ppl. I'm not even talking about bathrooms (which us stupid) or sports (yall don't care about women sports. You just hate trans). I'm talking about the trans men and women who have loyally served our country. The ones who wanted to enlist. And they can't. Taking a woman's right to choose to carry a child even during r*pe. Placing an unborn child's life as more important than the mothers. The fact women have died from pregnancy complications.
