I posted this in the mechanical keyboard autism thread, but thought it was bizarre enough for this thread:

1603240739638.png


I didn't realize r/mechanicalkeyboards existed until I decided to buy a new keyboard a few days ago. It's mainly people doing custom build minimalist keyboards, which are nice looking but not really what I was looking for. I thought I had a pretty high budget for a new keyboard; little did I know that you can actually spend $1,400 per month on keyboards.

Some people in the comments point out that spending $5,600 USD on keyboards isn't really normal and the guy pretty much agrees he went too far, but he says it's fine and he has a good job. However, he also says he used to have a gambling problem, that he promised his wife to spend no more than $500 AUD per quarter on keyboards (it's just 16 times that, no big deal right?) and is now "afraid of confrontation", but he bought her a Samsung Active 2 watch, so it's ok.

I swear there's an autist that turns anything into a lifestyle.

It might just be me being a big bird lover but coming across people on reddit actually laughing and joking about what is most likely a baby pigeon going through a carwash because it probably can't fly well and the cameraman not caring to help it (too busy filming its suffering for tiktok) really leaves a bad taste. I have no idea what's funny about it, some comments were okay and pointed out that the poor bird probably has a broken wing and is coated with toxic soap, but a majority of the top comments were just stupid jokes.

Most likely the person filming left the poor thing to die after they were done filming, be it from starvation/hypothermia/ingesting toxins when trying to clean itself. I can almost guarantee that if the video was of a dog you'd have reddit spamming "oh no, the poor doggo why would you just film and do nothing :(" Even if people think of pigeons as a pest I don't see it being okay to laugh at their suffering, but apparently on reddit it'll earn you a bunch of karma and some awards.

who cares about animals? animals are not human therefore you can do whatever you want to them. Franz Ferdinand killed 300,000 wild animals and there's nothing wrong with that. Trophy hunting is perfectly fine. Imagine thinking property deserves rights unto itself

I’m bad with money, so to make up to my wife for the fact that I’m bad with money, I’m going to buy her an expensive gift I can’t afford.

Because I’m bad with money.

I just want to bitch. Any thread about Tulsa Riots (there was something recently in news about another attempt to find bodies or sonething) will be filled with redditors tripping over themselves to be the first to say "I never knew about this until i watched Watchmen/Lovecraft County! I can't believe this isn't taught!"

It annoys me on so many levels:

The pop culture connection

Having to be spoofed this by tv

That they are believing the highly stylized version from TV as 100% gospel

That they have to lament about how this was never taught is the greatest injustice (im gonna guess they dont know shit on Battle of Blair Mountain because that's dumb rednecks)

That it's posted constantly because they need those karma points.

Some dark reddit history for ya to celebrate the 300th page

Carl Herold, a somewhat famous redditor back in the day known for making videos teaching people to program. He was even redditor of the day at one point.

Then it was found out he was distributing CP. Of his own son, who he kept locked in his basement and did unspeakable things to.

Shortly after being convicted he was found hanging im his jail cell.

Tfw reddit mods tempban you for posting a carved pumpkin and a cosplay. I have no idea why i was tempbanned from the specific sub other than those two posts getting removed. Reddit mods are overly sensitive and love to powertrip. Its pretty laughable how you can get banned for posting the most innocent things even tho theyre completely on topic. I flaired them like they asked and everything. I dont really bother w reddit anymore bc you have to tread super lightly in order to not get banned and any wrong opinions or simply stuff they dont like gets banned

And the narrative on it is garbage. The media coverage is full of lies - there were no planes dropping bombs on the rioters, and the blacks started the fucking riot and burnt down their own community. Also it wasn't a fucking "Black Wall Street" - it was a normal neighborhood.

There genuinely were several major race riots and massacres after WW1, with Tulsa being one of the more famous ones. Elaine, Arkansas and Ocoee, Florida were other cases, with government troops participating in the first one. The main issue is that plebbitors don't understand that the world has changed a bit in the following century. Most people were racial supremacists about their own people back then, when that went out of favour in the USA after WW2. Every country in the world wars was bragging about their national supremacy over the others.
