reddit General

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I'm noticing more and more subreddits are in semi-lockdown. Like you don't see many new post as usual and new comments are appearing. Clearly Reddit is in crisis mode.
It's actually insane. You have to see it for yourself. It started occurring the moment news outlets, including CNN and MSNBC, declared that Democrats are panicking.

Look I have a Plex server but if I found out I had 6 to 12 months to live the last thing I would be doing is airing my dirty laundry in a hobby sub for strangers to read. It’s one part pathetic and one part desperate last resort for ass pats before you fucking shuffle off this mortal coil. Die with some dignity for fuck sake.

Has it not occurred to this fucking sped to just tell his loved ones the password and tell them to have fun? Having lost loved ones, a 60TB Plex server of all of their favorite shit would actually be a pretty nice thing to have. Granted, he's on Reddit, and thus has no loved ones, but still.
 
Anti-american propaganda has rotted these people's brains so much it sounds like it's ironic but they're serious

>it looks sooooooo great in North Korea I wish I could live there too bad I'm in a first world country tee hee <3 :3 ^.^ uwu go communism
>it's just so terrible here in the USA where all my earthly needs are met and satisfied and I can do whatever the fuck I want(no racisms of course) :( save me commie gooks

North Koreans aren't even allowed to leave their hometown without a special note from the authorities lol these people are retarded

These people don't want to leave their hometowns. That typically involves driving cars (ughhh fashy) or venturing out into the sticks where people ...gulp... vote for Trump and shit.

If a redditor had thirty days to live he'd spend the first 28 of them deleting his hard drives and the last two shoving things up his ass to smuggle into hell.
 
He’s also on Reddit so their „favourite shit“ would probably be illegal pornography.

I can only imagine the will reading:

"To you, his brother, he has bequeath you "white bitches love black cock part 1 through 7. And to you Mary, his favorite sister he has left you his complete collection of hentai manga "but big brother, its forbidden..." the entire set of 26 volumes"
 
I've been on the internet since the days of Usenet. Yeah, I'm an oldfag. The rules of reddit are way different. They defy common sense. I search for why comic books suck. I personally, never understood why people find comic books appealing. Searched for as why comic books suck. A result points to /r/unpopularopinion. The post was downvoted to oblivion and was deleted so I can't see the original context. A bunch of redditors absolutely creme the OP. What did they say? I dont't know.

My employer implements a security policy on the corporate WIFI that fucks with my phone. I spend my life on a shitty job,. The only solace I get is that I can stream fringe content

The mods/admins let the live thread get too big and it destroyed the hamsters powering Reddit's servers.

This has happened multiple times before.

e: actually now that I think about it, it happened just last month with the Wolves vs Nuggets Game 7 thread, and that one wasn't even moving as fast as the debate live thread.

I'm an oldfag from the days of usenet. I go to a digital rights related subreddit which should in my mind at least should be dominated by old school Slashdot/EFF types and warn about how a certain network settings on Android which as a feature was promoted to prevent privacy violations and censorship does not work at all and is easily circumvented by firewall policies and are entirely toothless and want to find a method of bypassing it. What do I get? I get a majority of autists telling me I'm wrong to trying to circumvent the network surveillance and Acceptable Use Policies by the powers that be and have no right to privacy and I am stupid/wrong for daring to do such. This is in direct opposition to what the principal philosophy of what the subreddit is supposed to be about. This is a digital rights subreddit. Defying corporate/governmental abuse was the default position in the 1990's, 2000's and the 2010's. In the 2020's it's the polar opposite. In the past people would tell me exactly how to circumnavigate the restriction. Nowadays, I get moral condemnation for daring to break the AUP from both the lefties and the libertarians. Did the world change that much or am I crazy?

Take /r/unpopularopinion, I lookup on search engine why people don't like comic books. Someone posts why comic books suck on that subreddit. I can't tell what they said because they got downvoted to fuck and had to delete their post. I really want to know what they said. I go to /r/trueunpopularopinion. Surely that isn't censored. It is supposed to be the libertine alternative to unpopularopinion . Holy shit. Anyone who goes against the capeshit got downvoted to fuck and deleted their post there as well. The comic book fanboys won out on both subreddits and successfully suppressed the dissenting opinion. Both subreddits failed in what they claimed to be, If you think that 30 pages of per issue serialized comic is greater or lessor than a 1000 page one-shot literary novel, I'd really like to know your opinion. I'd really like to have a sampling of the pros and cons. I can't find that on reddit because anyone who expresses an opinion on that topic that goes against the hivemind gets fucked and can't have an honest open discussion.

Mom wants to sue surgeon
(self.legaladvice)

submitted 4 days ago * by Lordchaos237
So I’m an adult that’s transgender. I just had top surgery June 20th and my transphobic adoptive parents are trying their hardest to make this surgical recovery awful. One of the things they are doing is threatening to sue my surgeon for… operating on a patient (me) with (undiagnosed) preexisting conditions. Basically, I suspect that I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome but I’m not diagnosed at all. I let my surgeon know my suspicions just in case it could affect my recovery and she said that wouldn’t be an issue, and so far that’s held true. But my adoptive mother “researched” (she looked at one article on pubmed) something that says people with EDS are “more prone to gender dysphoria” and according to her that means my surgeon shouldn’t have performed the surgery on me, and now she wants to sue. I told her that this literally would never hold up in a court of law and she furiously doesn’t believe me. So I have to ask, is she being ridiculous or could she have a case?
EDIT: okay I feel like I need to clarify things — a LOT of you are making the assumption that I’m starting arguments with my adoptive mother about this. I am not. I don’t even talk to her on a normal basis. We’ve had a horrible relationship my whole life and I plan on cutting contact as soon as possible for several reasons than just this past week. Despite the fact that I have told her to leave me alone, that I don’t want to talk to her about anything let alone this legal discussion; that does NOT prevent her from overstepping boundaries and invading my personal space to scream at me - whether through spamming me with text messages, phone calls, or seeking me out in person.
Since you can't actually discuss the post in legal advice here is the best of legal advice thread discussing it

LForce me to wear a dress? You won’t like what you see.OC (self.MaliciousCompliance)
submitted 7 hours ago by Flashy_Imagination83
[TLDR AT THE END]
Hello, this happened two months ago but I only thought of posting it now. (Warning it’s a little long because I talk too much)
First, a little context/backstory:
I, a 19 y.old man, am a severely closeted trans man (ftm). I recently moved to the US from Africa (I will not specify where for safety reasons) to study abroad.
In reality, I moved in hopes of escaping the anti-lgbt laws and the sad reality of being queer in Africa. I hoped in America I could find a future where I could truly live as myself. Spoiler Alert, I didn’t.
Not only does it seem like America hates trans people as much as Africa, but also, my family here seems to be 10 times more strict, closed minded, and traditional than my family back home.
For those who don’t know, being an international student is expensive as heck. My family is not poor, but we are not covered in wealth either. So, to be able to live here, I needed to move in with my family in America, at least for the time being.
Now, to the actual story.
A year ago, my cousin graduated from community college and was going to transfer to another University to complete their degree. We are all taking this route because it’s cheaper. Naturally, we all had to attend said graduation. And people from immigrant families can probably relate, but my family insisted on being well dressed (overdressed) for the occasion.
I hate dresses with all my heart. I have hated them for as long as I can remember, even long before I realized I was trans. I hate how I look, I hate how they make me feel, and it feels like im on the verge of a panic attack every time I’m forced to wear one, especially in public.
You can probably tell where this is going. I was forced to wear one for the graduation. You cannot fight or talk back to your elders in my culture. No matter how old you are. I tried to protest as much as possible, but the decision was final.
I genuinely wanted to unalive myself that day.
Anyways, this year was my graduation. And I knew since last year that the same thing will proceed. My family will ask me what I have to wear for my graduation, and even if I had a perfectly nice suit that was appropriate for the occasion, they’ll force me to go dress shopping and wear one to it.
But this year, I came prepared.
I didn’t mention it earlier, but for over a year and a half now I’ve been on a weight loss and body building journey.
In fact, the whole incident last year has made me double down and workout even harder.
Losing weight and building muscle has been a way to help me manage my body dsyphoria. Not only do I now look more masculine, but I look pretty cool with muscles too.
Like said earlier, my family is very traditional. So, they live by certain gender expectations. And one thing they absolutely hate is masculine girls and feminine boys. They hate muscular girls with a burning passion, saying it looks ugly or unatural.
So this year, when they brought up dress shopping for my graduation, I didn’t even put up a fight. I went along like nothing was wrong.
While dress shopping, I purposely picked the most tight fitting dresses, sleeveless ones and even unattractive ones.
I’ve been able to hide my body progress this whole time by only wearing loose and baggy clothes around the house.
So, when it came time to try on the dresses, and I came out of the dressing room, the pure look of disgust on their faces is one I cannot describe. I had to try so hard to not burst out laughing in the moment.
While I am not the most muscular person out there, I still looked pretty buff in those dresses. Simply put, I looked like a man in those dresses. And they hated that HAHAHAHA.
The worst part is that they could not even complain about my body, because my weight has always been an “issue” and talking point in my family. So, even though they hated how I looked, at least I lost weight, so they cannot complain.
I was even considering lat spreading as I came out of the dressing room, but that might have pushed it too far.
Anyway, long story short, they hated every single dress and allowed me to wear my suit (which I looked much better in). And now, even though I won, I constantly get comments about working out too much from them.
On the bright side, since I graduated, I am finally moving out after summer. Hopefully, with more freedom and less fear, things will be different this time :)
TLDR: My traditional family forced me, a (closeted) trans man, to wear a dress for my graduation. But I became really buff over the year to look like a man in a dress. It worked and they hated it.

Then as a pallet cleanser this guy does a little trolling
