Has there ever been an IRL kiwimeet?
I would almost consider going to one if I wasn't certain the glowniggers would raid it or everyone would independently be wearing secret cameras trying to dox eachother.
Fun story.
Met someone on here talking about vidya. We started talking, became best friends, and he just spent a couple weeks visiting recently.
Got a pic of us both wearing our kiwi shirts when we first met up and I'll probably be seeing him again soon in his neck of the woods.
10/10 at least got something nice out of this godforsaken website.
 
The Donald was killed long before they finally banned it and it’s user base was held to an impossible standard for such a large sub.
This. They were quite obviously banned for purely political reasons. Whatever I think of its shitty inhabitants (they literally banned nool at the height of his Trumpery for apparently not being enough of a crazed fanatic), they did nothing worse than currently existing subplebbits. If anything, they went out of their way to comply with the rules, but the rules as applied to them were completely impossible to obey.

Meanwhile tankies get to call for mass genocide every day on all number of shitty commie subplebbits.

They arguably overmoderated. An arab muslim friend of mine posted on there back in 2016 or 2017 with his perspective and they banned him because they thought he was lying about his identity. Meanwhile on the rest of reddit you could just casually claim to be a doctor/engineer/actor/millionaire/whatever and it'd be lapped up with no repercussions.

If he ever gifts you a bottle of lotion then you may wanna run.
 
We should have one of those and then dox the fuck out of everyone who attends.
Yeah but are we having a kiddie ball pit?
Kiwicon official ball pit. (Pee sold seperately)

I'm convinced most of Reddit is just a creative writing exercise by high schoolers at this point.

I remember an "emergency medicine doctor" in the coronavirus sub early on in the pandemic (probably around March or April 2020) that was talking about medication shortages in their hospital. So they were ordering double doses for patients and stockpiling the extra doses in the emergency department so they always had extra on hand.

Kind of a few glaring problems with that story. Insurance fraud, pharmacy's computers blowing up because of potential ODs for respiratory depressants, asking nurses to administer medications knowing they're giving the incorrect ordered dose along with administered unordered medications to the other patients, a small thing called literally hiding controlled substances in the closet...

People assume everyone on Reddit is stupid, but they're unfortunately often right.
 
These screenshots is one of the most insufferable things I have ever read. It confirms every stereotype of reddit. People trying to one up each other with they're unearned sense moral superiority, taking down sub-reddits they personally disagree with, mods censoring mods, and their blind devotion to the main stream narratives.

I hate to say it but I would believe some doctors could get away with that. Insurance companies are deeply interested in fucking those doctors over for stealing their money, but they tend to be reactive and not proactive.

To give one example, I know of a study of insurance claims that recorded an unusual amount of people received 3 shots of a 2-shot vaccine before boosters were mandated. Were they individuals cheating the line to get more shots, were they seniors who mistakenly got jabbed 3 times because one wasn't properly recorded, or were they doctors ordering 3 jabs and pocketing the one they didn't use? You can't know unless you audit each one.
