If you have, does it actually work? I can't decide whether I believe it, or if it's just some peepeelet hopium propaganda.

Over the last few days, we've seen an increase in content in several communities that violate Reddit Rules. Reddit communities are places for civil discussion and are one of the few places online where people can exchange ideas and perspectives. We want to ensure that they continue to be a place for healthy debate no matter the topic. Debate and dissent are welcome on Reddit—threats and doxing are not.

When we identify communities experiencing an increase in rule-violating content, we are taking the following steps as needed:

Reaching out to moderators to ensure they have the support they need, including turning on safety cowtools, reminding mods of our rules, or offering additional moderation support

Adding a popup to remind users before visiting that subreddit of Reddit's Rules

In some cases, placing a temporary ban on the community for 72 hours to enable us to engage with moderation teams and review and remove violating content

Currently /r/WhitePeopleTwitter is under a temporary ban. This means that you will not be able to access this community during this cooling-off period while we work with the mods to ensure it is a safe place for discussion.

We will continue to monitor and reach out to communities experiencing a surge in violative content and will take the necessary actions noted above to ensure all communities can provide a safe environment for healthy conversation.

Clean it up janny

its over

"And, peculiarly, Civ 7 only really covers history up to about 1950. You get planes and tanks, but there are no home computers or helicopters in this tech tree at launch. The final science victory condition is launching the first manned spaceflight – quite a step back from setting up an exoplanet colony"

Holy shit it is bleak. There are three Harry Potter books in there and two Hunger Games books in there in the top 10 best books.

Then you compare it to the best books of the 20th century ( still one harry potter book in there in top 10 but they are still doing way better than the 21st century.

How did the quality of the "greatest" works fall down so quickly. It is like humanity has forgotten how to write anything with any depth anymore and it is all at the level of quality of teenage story writing.

Is it simply over for the writing genre as a whole or is it that the best quality writing is actually no longer being recognized as the best because it didn't sell enough copies nor got enough appreciation from writing critics, or is it that there is a complete disconnect between what the average person considers enjoyable writing and what is considered actually good high brow writing?

I think it is a shift in medium where all the people looking for depth and high quality in their literary works moved on to movies and video games instead and all who are still hanging around the writing genre are those who will pick a random niche and the general books based on lowest common denominator which is teenage angst or teenage wonderment slop.

What this means is that the writing genre is going to keep going further down in quality over time and we need to look at the possible extinction of reading one day if everything turns out to be possible to be done by video because people are clearly getting worse at appreciating literature while getting a whole lot better at their expectations and appreciation of better video entertainment content.

Conclusion:

In terms of ease of entry into the writing department this is the easiest time period. In terms of making money from it, likely one of the harder time periods. We can expect the quality of writing meant for general audiences to have reached the lowest floor and never rise above it again this generation. The Zoom zooms are too r-slurred when it comes to quality writing in just a book.

Also if you still read Harry Potter books, READ ANOTHER BOOK!

Wow. 2 million people have viewed my reels in the past 30 days. Is that a lot for some of you? Probably not. To somebody, who just one month ago, bought a new computer brush up on his video editing, and was sitting on a few years of emotionally-charged raccoon footage he didn't think he'd ever get around to? It's fantastic.

Swipe on over to my reels tab to see what I've been working on (I keep them separate from my posts). There's some car stuff, mostly raccoon stuff, and a lot of repeats as I figured out what worked, what didn't, and realized all of the different ways I could cut the footage.

I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much footage I have of One, Two, and Four's short life. It's taken about two years for me to be able to watch it, but now that I have I am so glad I've had the opportunity to share them with the world. They were truly the best raccoons I've ever had, and I've had a lot of raccoons pass through my life. I plan on doing something more long-form with the footage at some point, but my creativity needs a recharge as I'm getting quite frustrated with the process.

For those of you who've endured this somewhat obsessive and absolutely obnoxious episode, I thank you. Things will likely be slowing down now, however, as I'm running out of good footage and time to waste.

Here's hoping somebody brings me some orphaned babies this spring.

I'll keep posting this guy here while he keeps posting to /r/WaltDisneyWorld. He's absolutely dominating the subreddit - three of his selfies this month have more upmarseys than the news that beloved ride Muppets 3D is closing down and this will soon be the fourth.

The mods are still working overtime to protect him - they do more work in his threads than every other /r/WaltDisneyWorld thread combined. Comment locks and sneedy mod comments everywhere. OP seems to have free rein to be as toxic as he wants in an otherwise civil subreddit:

How indeed?

I want to get him over here but I don't want to log into my Reddit account again.

The embargo for reviews of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has lifted. We don't have a review on the site here at Polygon. This is not an editorial decision; we had hoped to review the game. On Jan. 2, Polygon requested a code for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 from Warhorse Studios, the studio behind the game, and received no response. On Jan. 7, we reached out to the PR firm working with Warhorse, who told us they were "not able to provide access. We'll let you know if this changes." We reached out to parent company Plaion on Jan. 9 as well — no response. On Jan. 10, we saw our peers publishing early previews for the game. We re-upped our request and were again told we would not be given access.

This was very unusual. But this was the situation that transpired with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It can be difficult to tell when a studio's decision to withhold a code from a publication is intentional and personal. That's due in part to the fact that the process for getting advance review codes is about as rote and administrative as it gets. Sometimes, PR firms working for studios send us codes unsolicited in hopes we'll cover the game in question. Other times, we request codes from the game's representatives ourselves, several weeks ahead of the release date, and we get those codes when and if they are available.

As part of our final request for code on Jan. 10, Polygon's editor-in-chief Chris Plante contacted Plaion and Warhorse's PR firm to get a comment as to why we were denied advance access to the game. He stressed in his message that our hope is that this decision wasn't due to any personal bias against Polygon, nor motivated by any of our previous coverage of games made by Warhorse or any other. In short, we wanted to know: Was Polygon being blacklisted?

On Jan. 10, we did receive a response to this request stating that we could get one code for the game on launch day, Feb. 4. We did not receive any clarification as to how this decision was made. Nor did we receive the requested clarification on why the developers of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 declined to provide Polygon access to the game.

Because we will not receive access to this game until its public release, our review is nonetheless forthcoming but will not be published in time for its release date. We look forward to telling you more about this game in the weeks to come.

And now, for the why. From Charlie Hall's review (12 February 2018)

https://archive.is/WqcZl

"The game is also not without its controversies. Warhorse is a team of more than 150 people, but the game's creative director has gone out of his way to rationalize his support of G*merGate, a loosely knit hate group that has devoted time to harassing women, people of color and journ*lists in the past. So outspoken is the studio's leadership on cultural issues that they have found it necessary to work with a German outlet to publish anti-fascist, anti-sexist and anti-racist statements prior to their game's launch."

Thank you for that completely unnecessary bank-shot that turned a poor review into a politically motivated hit piece. And you wonder why they weren't lining up for more of that?

Uh the one party system is not the best proven system. Hitler banned political parties so there was only one. China has authoritarian government. It's unamerican.

Edit: I expect to see more one party system good propaganda.

Fascism is growing in the US and the World

MAGA is a rapidly advancing Fascist party

We all have seen the events at the inauguration and having different thoughts about what Elon did, but I want to point to what they are doing with policy rather than one moment.

Trump is an Authoritarian leader. He wants control of everything, media, education, the economy, global politics. There will never be a point where he will be satisfied.

Before you know it, project 2025 will not just be the lefts boogie man but an actual threat to our safety and civil rights.

Trump will continue to push the most radical right wing beliefs onto our country until he has full control. One thing at a time, MAGA as a party will tear down each law in favor of the rich and powerful.

MAGA thrives on misinfor.ation and the suppression of education, and it will only get worse. The more you people chose to ignore the more MAGA will take from us. First is was Row V Wade, then it will be birthright citizenship. What about marriage equality? Nothing is off the table for Trump anymore. He's made it clear, but for someone reason, his followers don't speak the same language and misconstrue the truth.

https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueUnpopularOpinion/comments/1idqiwo/as_a_nonamerican_im_done_of_leftists_in_reddit/ma153gh/?context=8

Look, I wanted trump to win the election, but it wasn't because I think he's any kind of good guy. I know he's a whiny, loser pig, though I'm appreciating this more serious Trump over his last iteration..

I wanted Trump to win because I knew we needed some conservative counterbalance back. I'm not a leftist anymore, and it's because I don't agree with all of their positions. They are not my party when they refuse to capitulate to any sort of middle ground, so they have to be forced. I hope conservatives keep it cool, too, or else I'll have to stand against them all over again.

Our politics are not half as simple as they were 20 years ago. It was easy to be a leftist when conservative Christianity was forcing people to deny their own humanity. What I didn't know is that the left is just as capable of acting the same way.

It really does seem like he fulfills the prophecies. There's a pinned post at top of that sub of a video of Donald meeting with some Israeli associates; apparently some Israeli's think Trump is the Messiah Ben Joseph. Is it possible a US-owned Gaza could be where the Third Temple is built?

So my wife (29f) and i (28m) have been together with the exception of a long break when we were 18 and 19 for 10 years. (She left me for another guy) and every year or two since we've been back together i keep finding things on her phone. The first was a fetlife account where she was chatting with multiple men. The second was a coworker she was speaking explicitly with. Third she asked a random neighbor out for coffee in our apartment complex in a flirting manner. And finally this. I found nudes of her that I'd never seen before, and looked in the deleted pictures on her phone and found pictures of another man's nudes.

We've had some rough patched with my finances and depression as well as hers. I must admit I was feeling sexually frustrated last year and went to a "massage parlor" but didn't go through with the end part. And she found out. She's insists that nothing has become physical any of these times and would leave if she were going to go through with it, because she did when thats what she wanted.

Our relationship is great except for this horrible bi annual ritual of her seeking attention. She makes the money In the relationship and I'm very limited in my capacity to support myself for any sort of trial separation. I don't want to leave. I love her. But I feel I need to advocate for myself despite my own wrongdoings. I feel so trapped and hopeless.

Came across this amazing post. But what's even funnier is if you visit his profile and see the only other post he's made:

This might be the dumbest man on Earth.

Oh, he's from Portland? She's not cheating on him; he's just unknowingly in a poly relationship.
