/u/LilliaBaltimore is still posting public bathroom selfies regularly (see [NO DRAMA] A Reddit poweruser is STILL getting to the top of /r/waltdisneyworld by posting bathroom selfies for more info.
Yesterday he posted a rainbow which makes me wonder if he's not so subtly calling out for Disney World hookups?
Anyone who dares to say "hey public bathroom selfies are weird and not on topic for /r/WaltDisneyWorld" is called a racist gatekeeper by /u/MarleyTheBeagle, the most typical Reddit imaginable.

I thought freedom fries was the dumbest thing i've ever seen out of washington... well until now. 4 more years of this BTW.
Fun fact about World War One, the US started calling Sauerkraut by the name of Liberty Cabbage. We don't have fresh ideas.
The Gulf of Liberty Cabbage
Welp, I know which name I'm going with.
I'm going with Gulf of Mexico, with Gulfy McGulfface being a close second option.
I'm in NZ. Google maps says its Gulf of Mexico (because that's its fricking name).
Hopefully, it's only 4 more years.
if we're not in some kinda post apocalyptic scenario in 4 years i'll be pleasantly surprised
That's the shit that has me up all night.. Fricking lunatics have escaped the asylum again, but this time they're prepared. This ain't "Joker 2" muthafricka!
Four years, give or take a /r/collapse
This was only the first week. ugh
4 more years so far...
Yup. Just the first week. Im so sick of the darn trump show and it doesn't seem there is a way to unsubscribe, disconnect, turn the channel, unplug the tv etc. His brand of stupidity is fricking everywhere.
4? Try 8 when vance gets elected
Hopefully you'll still have a country that resembles the US in 4 years.
They ruined the Dixie Chicks' career because they spoke out. Turns out we should trust some musicians for our foreign policy.
Just because some are sometimes right doesn't mean we should generally trust musicians.
The overwhelming majority of musicians are not geopolitics experts, or at all informed on political issues.
The fact that we constantly expect celebrities to chime in on issues they have no expertise in is one of the reasons politics is so toxic and polarised today. It's contributed to the dumbing down of political discourse.
But also, being a musician does not disqualify you from having and expressing political opinions, nor does it guarantee that you are politically illiterate.
The world might be a better place if pop artists were more inclined to sing about politics than vague romantic notions.
real big "shut up and dribble" vibes coming from that dude
: Rich people are out of touch and have no idea about reality or what the common people are going through! Guillotine them all!
: Actually, more celebrities should lecture people on how to be hecking good human beans, after all they all agree with me. Tee hee!
The funny part to me is that "America" isn't even the name of our country, it's the name of the continent. We're the United States. 'Gulf of the Americas' kind of makes sense, but has nothing to do with the United States of America.
I could see that if it was the gulf of USA but Mexico is part of America
In Florida we just call it "the gulf".
Not any more - we'll be sure to add "of Mexico" for clarity from now on.
Seems confusing. How do you know which gulf you're talking about?
What an absolutely brilliant question. Your mother must be so proud of you. Do you go poo poo on your own too? Awwwwwww.
Woosh
Awwww, not yet? You'll get there.
They are so angry they just attack each other for no reason
Everyone who matters will call it the Gulf of Mexico, at least.
I hate to break it to you but everyone matters, not just those that agree with you. That was made very evident with the election. Just because in your mind you can just tell yourself other people don't matter, they actually do. And sadly, their decisions can frick up the world for you.
I think he/she might mean those in communities that actually deal with the Gulf like those in the scientific communities, not just the average layman.
Sure, that's perfectly possible. However, that doesn't counter my point at all. The entire idea that some matter, and some don't, is how we ended up in this mess in the first place. It turns out, everyone actually does, and if you don't believe that, your world can get pretty fricked up by that disbelief.
Give up brother this place is like a blindfolded circlejerk
Leftists purity checking each other over things that aren't even disagreements
Americans don't matter to me any more.
What irrelevant country are you from?
The great thing about American exceptionalism is that it can never have any negative consequences of any kind. Good luck with that!
I will. Frick that nazi. Gulf Of Mexico.
Oh so you like deadnaming now, interesting.
This is exactly the kind of high-level international trolling we need. Show Trump for the pathetic man-child that he is.
: So you guys agree that we should be same the country then!
But _I_ don't desire they use that name, and I'm American. Can we, like, petition Google to not be punks who do what the totalitarian wants?
Lmao. The Google CEO was front row at Trump's inauguration. Best of luck
Maybe constantly bitching about CEOs/rich people/important people even when they're on your side could have some unfortunate consequences?
Californian checking in. It's the Gulf of Mexico.
Google is the scariest of all tech companies. They are essentially our library. They have the ability to manipulate the narrative on a different level. For the vast majority they are our dictionary, our encyclopedia, our Library of Alexandria. They are THE reference for day to day life. Our last arbiter of truth.
We are already aware that weighted searches are for sale.. but them kissing the ring is scarier than social media techs doing so. By my estimation, at least.
That's why I periodically download wikipedia
Stop being anti-corporations and maybe they'll like your side too
Why do people think this ends when trump ends? It doesn't. It's being set up so it doesn't. We will get Vance, who is more cognizant and has the potential to be worse.
True but, I don't think anyone but Trump has what it takes to rile up the morons enough to get out and vote.
It's comments like this that make me think you people still do not understand the magnitude of this election.
Every single lever of power in the government that matters is now firmly controlled by people who are perfectly fine cheating in broad daylight with a violent mob to maintain that power.
They are not going to let themselves be voted out of that power.
Maybe choose an actual candidate next time instead of an identity checklist?
I think his cult followers can absolutely be manipulated, post Trump Death, into turning on themselves. I don't think they're accept the Charisma vacuum as the next leader.
I think the internal MAGA civil war will tear the movement apart.
You just have to hope that they haven't destroyed democracy too much post that point.
Like how you guys lost the election?
People want to believe that Trump is pulling the strings. They don't want to believe that there's a group of people putting EOs on his desk to sign without reading
Fricking wingcucks lmao
Now factor in the very best healthcare that money can't buy.
COVID would have killed him if he wasn't POTUS. Sad this dude keeps escaping death. It's always the evil ones that live the longest. :/
Even the best medicine can't do miracles.
Ah, frick, who am I kidding, modern medicine is a miracle. We're fricked.
[Karma] Doesn't exist.
I mean… it does. You'll see. And even if you don't believe, when bad things happen, I can assure you us real Americans will be cheering
I'm a real American too but I don't believe karma is an actual thing. If it were true, why would such monstrosities be done to innocent people over the course of history? What did they ALL do to deserve slavery/torture/murder/r*pe/genocide?
I meant real in the sense cheering for karma to happen to dotard. You are also assuming you know exactly how something you don't believe in actually works. Bold assumption
Do you know exactly how it works then?
I know what I believe, but is it what religious adherents believe? No, don't think so.
How is that any different than what I said?
Cause I think my version is real or is to me at least. You said none of it is real.

An armed man arrested at the U.S. Capitol said he planned to kill Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and burn down The Heritage Foundation, federal authorities say.
Ryan Michael English, 24, of Massachusetts (
), was found with a knife and two Molotov cocktails on Monday afternoon near the south door of the Capitol, U.S. District Court records say.
"I'd like to turn myself in," English said after he approached a U.S. Capitol Police officer, the records say.
Officers detained and searched him and found he had a folding knife, a lighter and two 50-mililiter bottles of vodka with a gray cloth attached to the top.
English told officers he went to the Capitol to kill Bessent, who was being confirmed as Treasury secretary. He said he had more Molotov cocktails in his car.
He said he left home on Sunday with the intention to kill Hegseth, who he called a "Nazi," and Johnson, as well as burn down The Heritage Foundation. He said he aimed to "depose" the officials and send a message, records say.
As English headed to D.C., he stopped at a library in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and saw Reddit posts about Bessent's confirmation hearing. He then altered his intended target, the records say.

As we see here, even a brand new thread posted a paltry three minutes ago and about the most /r/AskReddit topic imaginable already had HOLY COW seven hundred and ten upchuds.
Don't believe me? See for yourself!
https://poal.co/s/AskPoal/747854
I refreshed and it's dropped down to a still respectable 291 uphitlers. I guess there's a lot of diversity of opinion on this site even for relatively banal subjects like giant robots. How cool is that?
The next thread is another very hot topic, very relevant and powerful Alaskan congressperson Lisa Murkowski:
1200 upTNDs on that bad boy in just 14 minutes. This one even has a comment. Let's check it out and see what Motte-level intellectual discourse goes on here:
https://poal.co/s/Twitchy/747853
Poal.co user ERROR; RNG_USERNAME_VAR_NOT_FOUND
offers some powerful insight into this with a not at all procedurally generated comment with very reasonable, intentional, deliberate and NOT random formatting to boot. No votes at all on that one yet, for some reason. Maybe the enormous userbase is all busy crafting lengthy polemics against or for his stance there.
The next newest thread is about Pompeo. Remember Pompeo? I don't besides the name, but several hundred Poal.co users remember him. Check these votes out.
Fluctuates like crazy every time I refresh. There seems to be an enormous but enormously healthy variety of pro- and anti-Pompeo sentiments there, going by how quickly the votes shift by several hundred. This thread even has TWO comments:
https://poal.co/s/Trump/747852
I don't know what they mean and I can't ask the users because there must be some bug from all the traffic preventing real users' real usernames from displaying.
Scrolling further down the bustling digital metropolis of poal.co, we see similar levels of activity, no matter the topic:
Pretty much all of their threads have many times our most upvoted posts' total votes. Even ones with no comments. It's inspiring and demoralizing in equal measure.
In closing I'd just like to remind everyone that you need to say nigger as much as possible to defeat the Jewish hydra.

Yesterday night, I decided to try and get some sweet xitter likes by doing the classic move of pissing people off.
For those who do not know, Technoblade was am extremely popular Minecraft youtuber, who used to be part of the DreamSMP.
also most importantly, he's dead.
Died of bone cancer in mid 2022. And every year since then he's friends have gotten together to use his death for charity. The most recent example being yesterday from other large Minecraft youtuber, and drama QUEEN TommyInnit
In response I threw a tweet out into the ether, making fun of them doing this.
I know nothing about these people.

Sounds like projection on your part.
I'm never going to be strong enough to repel a Nazi, but generalizing here, keep up your health. It is beneficial in so many ways I won't bother to list them. Everyone on reddit hates me because I always bring up cooking your own food, not smoking, not drinking, getting exercise every day, giving up fast food and ultraprocessed stuff. It's all key to keeping your body and teeth healthy over the years.
The effects are cumulative - one day you wake up and you have some godawful chronic disease, or your ticker isn't what it could be, or you need yet another root canal, and you are slowed down and inconvenienced by having to use the medical system all the time, take pills, etc.
Also, get an annual check up if only so you have a record of your own stats. It's actually interesting to compare your numbers year to year.
As a nazi myself, this is all really good advice. Regardless of what ideology you have, everyone should abandon unhealthy lifestyles and unhealthy food. Most fast food/door dash and other stuff you get in groceries are deliberately kept unhealthy in order to have a population that can't resist and constantly kept broke and in debt. (not to mention how immoral some of the sources of this food are.) You don't need to be shredded but eating well and working out daily with basic calisthenics goes a long way.
As someone who's immunocompromised from a COVID vaccine injury, I've learned that sometimes the best choice isn't to fight head-on, but to hide and protect myself. It's a hard reality, but sometimes survival means stepping back, staying safe, and waiting for a time when I'm stronger.
In Harry Potter, Harry and his friends often had to choose between direct confrontation and retreat. Hiding, like when Harry and his allies went into hiding in The Deathly Hallows, was often the wisest choice. It wasn't about surrender, but about preserving their strength for when it was truly needed.
Similarly, Anne Frank showed us the power of survival. She and her family lived in hiding, and though it was painful and isolating, it was their only chance to stay alive. Sometimes, hiding isn't a sign of weakness; it's a strategy to make sure we can continue the fight later.
For me, hiding isn't giving up. It's about protecting my health and holding onto hope for a better, safer future.
(OP) this is real and valid, but PLEASE try to avoid citing transphobic authors. Stay safe!
This thread is the most chronically online shit I've ever seen in my life 😭

Why did Elon Musk just say Trump wants to bring two stranded astronauts home?
For reasons that were not immediately clear, SpaceX founder Elon Musk took to his social media site X on Tuesday evening to make a perplexing space-based pronouncement.
"The POTUS has asked SpaceX to bring home the 2 astronauts stranded on the Space_Station as soon as possible. We will do so," Musk wrote. "Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long."
Now generally, at Ars Technica, it is not our policy to write stories strictly based on things Elon Musk says on X. However, this statement was so declarative, and so consternation-inducing for NASA, it bears a bit of explication.
lmao bullshit, Ars loves to sneed about everything Elon does; it's basically TMZ but only covering Elon.
Foremost, NASA has gone to great lengths to stress that the two astronauts referenced here—Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams—are not stranded on the International Space Station.
The astronauts are clearly stranded as has been covered extensively over the last year by even leftie organisations:
NPR also released an article insisting that the astronauts aren't stranded - https://www.npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1-5278636/iss-astronaut-rescue-spacex-trump:
Ars comments are of course mad:
Why wouldn't the US government want to bring two stranded astronauts home? Why is this the top comment? What are you mad about?
They were meant to be there for eight days. The eighteen month stay was planned.
And yet they're still stranded there, curious. Why don't they just fly back home? They must want to be there.
The bottom two comments - note the guy who's had an account for 17 years.
