This subreddit used to be nice, now it's just constant sneeding at nitpicks about anything slightly republican (like the recent soying over the CEO of Proton being a chud).

MISINFORMATION!

ENCRYPTION FIXES THIS!

Literally any company can do this, that's why we need DIVERSITY (the good one) in emergency options. Redditors want to stay as cavemen because a chud made something nice. Currently satellite connectivity (provided by globalstar) requires a special chip + proper positioning + has limited data + is expensive to transfer over. Starlink will allow for LTE speeds anywhere in the world on any device without needing to point your phone towards the sky like an r-slur.

LOL

We finally get ONE rational redditor!

Elon is out to r*pe you. Hide NOW.

Here’s my view:

I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life.

We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever.

So I say bring him back.

I'm very interested to see if her supporters actually care. There's now a 2nd board member coming out voicing their concern with government meddling in contracts. This is a fully UCP appointed board. (21)

I can't even find out who fired the CEO. Wouldn't the board be the ones to fire the CEO. Lmao (2)

You can always tell when Nenshi lies. His eyes flutter and he never looks at the camera or the person he's speaking to. (-6)

Basedness: 🔥🔥🔘🔘🔘

I'm astonished support for Nenshi is that high, you'd think the dippers would have figured him out and obviously the rest of AB doesn't know who he is - he's divisive, when he left Calgary as mayor this city was in shambles, he had an approval rating in the 40s and dropping. In his first go he campaigned as a conservative, said all the right things but governed as a high taxing, high spending liberal. When he won his first mayor, from his mother's basement where he lived he said Calgarians weren't racists but when it looked like he was gonna get booted he said Calgarians were racists. He'll say anything to get elected but when in office look out. (6)

I would guess about 70-80% of voters are UCP or NPD no matter who. I am one of them. Why? Because no matter what brain-dead leader the UCP elects, it will not be worse than a lunatic NDP leftist. (1)

But it won him Calgary elections he basically accused anyone who didn't vote for him of being racist, and somehow it worked. (2)

The problem is that the term racist has been thrown around so much, it has become deluted. It's getting to be that the person using that term is being judged more than the person it's being pointed at. (-1)

Not voting for a representative of the majority of this province is racist. (-1)

Angriness: 🔘🔘🔘🔘🔘

Absolutely zero surprise. Smith has tapped into Alberta's 'renegade' mentality made popular by King Ralph which appeals to many. Nenshi should reassess his approach and adopt some of that feisty Albertan spirit. As we've seen, embracing Ottawa is a poor strategy for any Alberta political party. (39)

Also embracing victim culture is not interesting for many Albertans (26)

Attention, drama queens, kings, and all the regal genderqueers in between:

It's that time of year again when we celebrate the chaotic dumpster fire that is both the world and this little corner of the interwebs. Normally, I would craft my usual masterpiece of an announcement post—something that would leave you gagged, gooped, and maybe even a little bit humbled by my signature sheer wit. However, full disclosure: I, your humble yearly host of this event, have been barely online this past year and had no idea that this site is somehow even still alive to be honest. Blame burnout, existential dread, or just the fact that constantly checking in on you incel nerds simply gets exhausting. I'll leave that up to you to psychoanalyze.

So instead of half-assing this post, I decided to fully outsource it. Yes, I've summoned the digital queer-coded energy of ChatGPT to write this entire announcement. If you think this is lazy, you're absolutely correct! But in the spirit of rDrama, let's call it "delegation with flair". Without further ado, let's dive into this year's categories for the annual Drammy awards. Dust off your wigs, fetch your Marseys, and prepare to cast your votes in the only contest that matters!

This year also comes with a new and improved prestigious pink-platinum badge design for the winners, so it's definitely a year where you'll want to win! Happy voting, my beautiful disasters

HOW THIS WORKS:

This will be split into two parts, a nominations thread (this one!) and a later final vote thread. In the comments of this post, there'll be a stickied root comment for each category where you can nominate a relevant user, post, event etc. for an award (only one nomination per comment or else it won't count!). After 4 days, the top 4 updooted nominations in each category will qualify for the finals, where the ultimate winners will be decided via a poll.

Make sure you don't nominate someone/something that's been nominated already for that award like an r-slur.

Best Dramatic IRL Happening

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587734

What was the most iconic IRL drama that had you saying "Hold my poppers" this year? This is the category for those deliciously messy real-life dramatic moments that really stood out this year and made you question how humanity has made it this far. Whether it was a celebrity meltdown, a public feud, or if you just want to nominate Orange Daddy nearly getting his head blown off on live TV, nominate the drama that lived for you.

Best Dramatic Online Happening

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587736

The internet remains undefeated as the ultimate arena for drama, and this category is proof. What virtual spat, digital downfall, Twitter (sorry, X) shitshow or Redditor meltdown had you clearing your calendar to watch it unfold? If it happened exclusively online and involved maximum levels of cringe, cattiness, or chaos, it belongs here.

Dramatard of the Year

$50,000 mbux + Profile Badge

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587741

The crème de la crème, the drama MVP, the person who somehow managed to stay in the spotlight without getting banned (yet). You know them, you love them, and it's time to crown them the ultimate dramatic force of 2024.

Best rDrama Bait

$30,000 mbux + Profile Badge

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587745

Who executed the most flawless gayop this year? We're looking for artful deception, unhinged commitment, and the kind of drama-stirring genius that makes you say, "Wow, they need therapy." To the dramatards who went the extra mile this year, it's your time to shine.

For bait operations where multiple users were involved in their planning and execution, the marseybux reward will be split amongst the most prominent ringleaders and contributors.

Best rDrama Activism

$25,000 mbux + Profile Badge

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587749

Believe it or not, some of you allegedly leave your basements and engage with the real world every now and then. This award goes to the brave souls who repped rDrama IRL—whether by attending dramatic events, covering live tea, or just waving a Marsey flag in public. Activism? Yes. Cringe? Also yes. But in a good way.

Best rDrama Post

$20,000 mbux + Profile Badge

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587754

It's simple: which post this year was the most iconic? Maybe it was a perfectly curated callout, a deep dive into obscure internet lore, or just a thread so messy it felt like performance art. Nominate the post that had you smashing that heckin upmarsey button with unhinged glee.

If you're struggling and/or lazy, here's the top posts from the past year.

Best rDrama OC

$15,000 mbux + Profile Badge

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587759

Who used their creativity to add brand new dimensions to the rDrama lore? Whether it was an iconic meme, original artwork, spicy fanfiction, or some other cursed-but-brilliant creation, this is for the best Original Content™ of the year. (Do not steal!)

NO emojis, NO AI slop.

Marsey of the Year

$10,000 mbux + Profile Badge

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587761

Our queen, our muse, our icon: Marsey. This award honors the best Marsey emoji created in 2024. Was it cursed? Blessed? So absurdly specific you still don't understand it but use it anyway? Nominate the Marsey that encapsulates the spirit of rDrama. Any Marsey emote from this list is eligible as long as it's been tagged as having been uploaded in 2024.

Lolcow of the Year (rDrama)

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587763

The lifeblood of this community that keeps rDrama warm on cold nights: the lolcow. This award goes to the user who managed to turn themselves into a one-person circus act. Who flailed the hardest, got milked the most, and still somehow kept coming back for more? We love to hate them, but mostly, we just love to watch.

Lolcow of the Year (off-site)

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587768

While our home-grown lolcows are delightful, sometimes the outside world provides us with an even bigger clown show. From celebrities airing their dirty laundry to internet personalities imploding in real time, who was 2024's most embarrassing off-site disaster?

Jannie of the Year

$20,000 mbux + Profile Badge

Nominate here: https://rdrama.net/comment/7587771

Last but not least... even though the choice is brazenly obvious, who is the most beloved, clever, funny and handsome janny of them all? This award is open to any current rdrama janitor or prominent Reddit janitor.

Also this category has its own badge and mbux prize now for some reason. Blame Carp.

Nominations will stay up until 10th January, where the finalists of each category will be decided!

I know Hamas is popular with some RS people but let's be honest. The Gazans are very pro Hamas and Hamas is a terrorist group. Parading murdered babies around today was probably not a good optical choice for the Gazan people. If the Gazans did not support terrorists, wouldn't it help their case? They want the world's sympathy but taking women and babies hostage and killing them is probably not going to warm people's hearts. I'm sick of paying for Israel's wars but I still think Islam is a wicked and violent religion, barbaric and worthless.

🇬🇧 British farmers protested today!

In addition to tractors, military equipment appeared on the streets of London. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

It is unclear where the farmers got them from.

Guardian gave it 100/100 we can throw that review in garbage can

Author of the review made a whole big butt article where he bitching about cutscene

https://www.theguardian.com/games/article/2024/jul/23/press-x-to-skip-its-time-we-retired-the-video-game-cutscene

Any one who played video games know a cutscene is better than an in-game cute scene where you can control your character because those are unskippable.

Mote bs reviewers and here it comes

https://n4g.com/news/2652490/civilization-7-review-ign#comments

IGN 7/10 basically the lowest score they could give

https://www.eurog*mer.net/civilization-7-review

Eurogaymers 4/10

So the game ain't that good.

Game probably will be in decent state after like 5 years and 100 paid dlc's

Sad but I guess only monster hunter and yakuza pirates for me in February and then in March butt shadow, atelier yumia, dead or alive prism

Wtf is a pentest op? As usual Steve is way more knowledgeable about supposed chud ops than any actual chuds I know.

Telling on myself here, but I mostly only listen to true crime podcasts, and almost exclusively when I'm running or working out. I like them because there's a built-in element of drama and kind of trashy gossip of digging around in the refuse of someone else's life. Also a little tiny bit of fear/danger element that gets me amped up when I'm running, especially at night like what if I have to run away from a psycho???

I don't generally like sort of hang-out-and-shoot-the-shit interview podcasts, but I see that so so many people do. Is it a parasocial thing? Like if you like the hosts and you want to imagine being friends/lovers with them? Or maybe you are not a funny and clever person yourself / you have no inner monologue, so you need a podcast to fill your head with other people being funny and clever on your behalf?

Anyway, what do you look for in your podcasts? What should I start listening to?

Or this is an open thread, just chat about whatever. I got a new breadmaker and it fricking sucks. How do you know if a breadmaker is bad or just the recipes or maybe you suck at pouring four ingredients in a pot and pressing the "start" button correctly? Someone told me I should use the recipes off Bread Daddy instead of the ones in the book that came with the machine. Anyone here tasted the Bread Daddy's dough?

Lots of beautiful lush grass and thousands of people!

Is that someone pretending to be a wizard? How can anyone take any of this seriously?
