Well Reddit becoming a creative writing project certainly selected for the most credulous people.

I remember going through some dude's profile and he was simultaneously married to his wife of 25 years, a homeowner, asking how to talk to girls and wondering how to decorate his apartment. All of his comments got like one or two updoots so it's not like he was karma farming. I don't understand the mindset.

The one major similarity between 4chan and reddit in the years when they were most separated (before they cancerously impregnated each other) was that any story on either of them was almost guaranteed to be made up bullshit.

I believe that story where the mum jerked off her disabled kid, that’s exactly what a Redditor would do.

which one of you did this

Me. I have schizophrenia, autism, and bad bitch disease. The kiwis hate the YouTube videos I make about Minecraft turtles, but I only called the turtles sexy twice.

Meditations is one of those books that I would honestly have as mandatory reading. The Emperor of Rome, one of the most powerful people on the planet during his lifetime, was writing about his struggles and how he gets through them to nobody but himself. But after hundreds of years, we can read it.
And the advice is great, almost anyone can use something from there if they chew on it. But you should read the actual fucking book instead of Marble Bust Twitter posting quotes from it over anime clips or whatever.
It's like actually reading Nietzsche or Hume vs Reddit "Nihilists" and "Skeptics", like they are universes apart from the source material they claim to love so much.

Overrated. Plato is better. At some point reading meditations is just depressing. If you didn't know it was written by an Emperor of Rome you'd think its just a dude trying to cope with an imminent mental breakdown. Which is probably true historically. But I'd take Shakespeare or Plato over meditations.

Tbf, and according to legend, meditations is not a book. It was just the written "meditations" of the emperor and not meant to be published as a book, Some scribe compiled and distributed it. And if you know your Greek classics which Marcus studied deeply, you will know most of what he is refering to and that his thoughts are not really "original" or "groundbreaking" and mostly reference other thinkers.

But then again, not talking shit, just saying it's an oddity of a text for its origin story and very interesting, but far from required reading or the best of the classics.

I posted this on the Dylan Mulvaney thread, but it's Reddit related so I thought I'd post it here. Yesterday on r/Popheads, a subreddit for pop music discussion, some users were calling out Dylan's new song for having a sexist view of women, but still continue to enable Dylan's delusions by calling him a "she/her". One user who called troons sexist was of course downvoted.

Unrelated post, but still emblematic of r/Popheads user values: Last year (pardon the old screenshot), a user said a Japanese band was criticizing "colonialism" because they called their band "Yellow Magic", and it's hateful for Westerners to call East Asians "Yellow people" (this is an acceptable racial term that only became un-PC because of American liberals). You never see them mention that Japan had their own racist and brutal empire which slaughtered and mistreated many Chinese and Russians (see Unit 731), is hated by Western liberals because of the Japs takeover of Ainu lands, and the older Filipinos and other dark-skin Asians who despise the Japs because of how they treated them during the war.

I'd like to see if they would ever say it's "colonist" to call someone "black" and if they'll ever have the same sympathy for the French or other European imperial powers.

based japs? Next time you try to make the jap look bad, don't bring Russki and Chink into the conversation.

Give up their Intellectual Property so it can be sold to Google to train AI

Lol. More AI feeding itself on its own garbage. The future is an internet without humans, just bots reacting to bots.

Reddit using an AI system to automate bans, as well their social credit score system called the Contributor Quality Score, (Archived)

They Literally say they'll punish you and shadowban you if you " go against the popular opinion of the subreddit" you can't even make a parody more absurd than what reddit already is.

Overrated. Plato is better. At some point reading meditations is just depressing.

Marcus Aurelius was a literal cuckold. He was coping with a gladiator banging his wife in the other room. With his permission.

That claim originates from or was at least popularized by Historia Augusta, a notoriously inaccurate grab-bag of facts and lies on a number of emperors, usurpers and other personages, even having entire chapters on people who literally never even existed.

very strong "things that never happened" vibes
like, the only possible way i could see this "dude gets raped by two women at party" story be true is if the 'women' were trannies, but then he wouldn't have an "i hat women now" reaction so i think the whole thing is just made up

I've seen fairly obvious ChatGPT-generated posts get the exact same amount of engagement as normal posts without anyone calling it out.

It's a bit concerning that Redditors literally cannot tell the difference.

A redditor is basically crappy AI running on a very underpowered server

 

[Radola Gajda]

Reddit using an AI system to automate bans, as well their social credit score system called the Contributor Quality Score, (Archived) which was rolled out about 5 months ago, is really approaching CCP-levels of totalitarianism, as if Reddit wasn't already enough of a shithole.

AI is taking jobs of all those hard working jannies. Lol.
They are doing it for free and yet they still can't compete against computer program.

An AI is smarter than a redditor, despite intense attempts to turn every AI into a redditor.

 

[Felis Meanis]

You may think you hate redditors enough, but you don't.

What really gets me is that even when the topic is about something trivial and non-political, like say a user asks how to best change bike tires or something, redditors still manage to be bitchy, snarky and needy in their replies.

Absolute fucking manchildren and karens.

Speaking of bots, here's some of them learning to ID animals:

The LLMs training on Reddit content are going to be trained on material LLMs have already aggressively shaped via moderation. That is barely human training at the end of the day. It's more the LLMs training the humans.

On top of that there are non-LLM bots and users using LLMs to compose their posts. It's evolving from a human circlejerk to a robot circlejerk.

So this is how we defeat skynet.

The redditor's finest moments happen when his last bits of common sense clash with his ideological programming.

A redditor named /u/Satanicbuttmechanic repeatedly makes posts in /r/twosentencehorror where the "punchline" always involves his daughter being tortured. Someone notices this and makes a thread about it on /r/2sentence2horror, a sub for shitting on bad posts from the first sub. OP then enters the thread to defend himself, where it comes out that he makes these posts because he's mad about his actual daughter for siding with his ex-wife in the custody battle.

That's a retarded concept. Often the classic expression of a concept isn't the first time it was expressed (often by some extreme autist) but the first time it was expressed well.
