I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
Waaiiit, what. I swear i saw that hospital bill post like a year ago, by the couple that had to pay for it. It even had an explanation of why the charge was there
How the fuck is he allowed to repost a twitter repost of someone else's literal medical bill? Repost it #twice no less? Please someone, tell me I'm wrong and I'm confusing it with a different post, please tell me he's not the motherless scum this is showing him to be, I'm genuinely begging
My guess is all those people bitching about how hard it would be for a hypothetical poor person to arrange wood are themselves middle class or trustafarians.
You cannot do anything on the Internet without a bunch of stupid White millennials bitching about how there is some segment of the population that can't afford to do that same thing. Day of the EMP when?
The top comment is a dude that was inactive for a month, after 3 years of posting regularly, and asking for further product details. Is that suspicious, or am I schizophrenic?
"I consider myself upper middle class, and couldn't save $200 per month for something like this"
You're either not even middle class, or living absurdly outside your means. Knowing the average redditor's rampant consumerism, I'm guessing the latter.

He probably made and deleted the same post 30-50 times in that 24 hrs until one caught traction. That's his MO.

No, he quite certainly is. He's also one of the most hated people on reddit because of it.

Lol at all those losers who think you have to be rich to own power tools or do basic carpentry. Poor people should just starve already TBH.

You start to wonder whether communism really is the bad guy here.

Huh. He actually gave credit and link to the source. Never seen him do that.
1 charming_tatum 2019-03-12
He's actually crediting where he finds stuff now, all the hate must have really gotten to him

Apparently using the profile function of this website and then downvoting the content I find there is "brigading" according to the reddit admins. lmao.

Gotta have that Switch and buy all that merchandise for the new Marvel thing and also give $500/month to catgirls on twitch

Sorry sweaty, he actually said he was only taking a break from unpaid posts. Paid advertisement was always on the table
