I was pretty amused today that /r/politics couldn't believe that conspiracy minded people on the right believe that retarded Hunter Biden computer story, essentially calling everyone on the right dumber than them. These are the same people who believe that Trump is a Russian asset because they have footage of hookers peeing on him, the US will turn into a theocracy once ACB is confirmed, Trump has hired crooked doctors to clear him of Covid and he's going to drop dead any day now and the US is running literal concentration camps form illegal immigrants. You're just as bad as they are, fags.

How do they afford that though? Only people with jobs can afford $30 meals for having fast food delivered. That shit isn't cheap.

Man, PoliticalCompassMemes might be the only good subreddit left:

It's because the guys on PCM are chill, self-aware, and willing to laugh at themselves. It's a beautiful place where people of all persuasions and none come together and make fun of the Libertarian Left, including the Libertarian Left. It's the only meme subreddit worth going on anymore since r/dankmemes went downhill.

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.

Most people fall into one of four camps
1.All animals are considered lesser then humans so they are pretty much at are mercy
2. Only pets are the types of animals we should care about.
3. All animals should be respected even though some are just food sources or pests
4. PETA

I think a majority fall into camp 1 or 2 so they don't really see it as living thing suffering just silly thing happening to some annoying bird.

Yeah, I personally fall into 3 since I don't like to see animals suffer even if they have to be killed. If an animal can't be re-homed or is being killed for food I just hope it's a quick death. When it comes to reddit I find they're really weird with animals as they talk a lot about loving them, a restricted few it seems, yet they still have blatant animal abuse subs like r/Chonker or whatever it's called where they are intentionally overfeeding their cat so they end up overweight.

I'm more of a camp 2 type.
Reddit can be quite weird when it comes to animals. I remember there being a clip of a guy incinerating a random cockroach with a blowtorch and a surprising amount of upvoted comments were feeling bad / calling the guy a psycho for doing it.
Just to remind, they were feeling bad for a fucking cockroach.

I'm definitely in camp 3 my self. Stuff like r/chokers and that video just piss me off in the worst kind of way. My dog had gotten chubby in is old age mostly because he isn't as active and my mother feels bad about feeding him less so I get having a chubby pet Chonkers is to the extreme of just feeding a pet when ever they want and never giving them exercise. I seriously hope these people never have children.

Just to remind, they were feeling bad for a fucking cockroach.

At least from my perspective killing a cockroach is fine but killing it using a blowtorch and filming it and posting it online just tells me that he just has a bizarre perspective. Its a lot of effort and I'm not sure what the payoff for him is besides internet points.

You should probably try to surround yourself with better people.

"Conservatives" are so fucking weird. What's the response to this even supposed to be?

 

[Lucille Bluth]

I've always seen people always complain or point out that Reddit is a site "dominated by males, usually young and from America and or the Anglophone world", especially on subreddits who don't fit the usual "demographic criteria". Then this brings up complaints about "bias" and certain questions/topics not getting enough interest because they "don't fit the usual demographic".

I don't know what people are expecting. The site was founded and is based in America, by Americans and obviously is a primarily English language website dominated by people from the English speaking world. There are Subreddits made for certain people/interests/groups/etc.

Fucked up things happen in big tent politics. You get troons voting Republican because they want lower taxes, and dipshits like Richard Spencer voting Democrat because that party allows black babies to be aborted literally half the time.

You missed what I think the most numerous camp, "we should only care about the pretty animals". Animals which are someone's pet, yes. Feral specimens of traditional pet species, yes. Pretty wild animals, yes. Pests*, fuck them. Ugly food sources, fuck them. Pretty food sources, distract outselves from their suffering by imagining quaint pastoral scenarios.

* Ants are an exception of sorts in that no one'll mind if you boil an anthill but people will be upset if you kill ants one by one and watch the colony react.

...I'd get upset if you boiled an anthill...

EDIT: If I could remember the exact threads on "Unresolved Mysteries" and "True Crime" I'd post them, but I've seen a few discussions get ugly. Usually because one user is screeching out their own elaborate theories and then arguing with others who disagree. You'd think some of these users family members or friends were the ones who were murdered or went missing by the way they're so "passionate" about discussing the cases.

There's a trend going around r/pics right now of average redditors posting their "quirky" shower curtains. Like, you guys are approaching middle-age, and it's so weird to jerk each other off over lame shower curtains in the "lol so random" style of internet humour from nearly a decade ago. Between these, the "Orange Man Bad" boomer-tier memes, the various "I Voted!" selfies, and sob stories tied to random bullshit, reddit is quickly devolving into something even worse than Facebook. I fucking hate redditors so much. Anyway, take a look:

There's nothing wrong with owning something as silly as this, but to post it on social media thinking you're cool for doing so...?

It's one of those things that looks like it's trying too hard to be quirky, like those shirts reading "you're laughing because I'm different, I'm laughing because you're all the same." Random rainbows, animals doing things they aren't supposed to, and Star Wars references. If you spent any time around the kind of people who would own these curtains, you'd be annoyed by proxy just from seeing them.
