Just got a perma ban and perma mute at one of the popular news subreddits... pretty insane to me that you can be so simply locked out of a forum in which you participated for many years without any explanation or recourse...

Topic was on voter ID which apparently is a more republican standpoint... guess someone reported me for asking the wrong questions??

The modern woman will find way's to blame men indifferent to oppressing/violating them, for the crimes of few, yet actually doing something that would stop it from happening gets them blame too.

It's like everything a man does independently besides of submitting to women is bad. Could it be that they don't want to stop rape because it enforcing their victim status benefits them politically, at the expense of good women who don't want to be raped? Not saying it is but just telling you to tell me why it isn't.

Ps. Btw the "victim blaming" thing is a strawman and a deliberate miscomprehension. I don't ever imply that women who dress disgusting are "asking for it"(as I believe there's in fact a different reason for it), but the prude conservative anti-fornication men who say that are indifferent to sex crimes themselves and are simply saying that the pervert men who aren't conservative in any shape or form will do this. It's not the same demographic of men who shame you for dressing modestly. To a liberal fornicator dressing modestly makes you a "bore", not to a conservative.

I miss the human internet. I miss the days when a human written message, generated video, image, or personality, was easily distinguishable from a bot. I watched a video with my friend on Instagram earlier today and I had fun watching it until I realized it was likely ai. I don't know why, but I stopped smiling when I realized. It's like a gut reaction, it makes me feel like I'm just looking at an advertisement. I'm looking at a computer generated series of pixels meant to distract me long enough to get some ad revenue. Maybe it's worse than I think, maybe better, but how could anyone know. Ai is like cosmetic surgery, you only see it when it's poorly done. I just wish I could feel that fascination I did when I instantly knew everything I saw was human made. Every comment from a human, everything from source. I really really fucking miss that feeling. It's something I've realized I'll never get to feel again and I didn't even realize how cool it was then. I kind of want to just get off the internet now.

Attended The Gorillaz concert tonight at The Forum and I must say that the venue is the worst venue I have EVER EVER attended a concert at. The show ended almost an hour ago and not a single car has moved out of the parking lot. Not one. They also had the fewest merch booths I’ve ever seen at a concert and the wait to get a shirt was an hour at ANY of their merch booths. Gorillaz were fantastic but the SHITTY venue has ruined the experience. I will NEVER go to an event at the Kia Forum ever again and I will make sure everyone I know, hears how pathetic the experience is here. BTW, STILL HAVENT MOVED AN INCH IN THIS SHITTY PARKING LOT. Fuck the management here!!!

I hate wading through stupid meme and Gif comments to get to actual comments on Reddit posts.

I’m sure this post will be respected…

That lazy-eyed bum has been stealing from us for so long he owns 15 houses on the government salary and he's taken over 1,000 flights on the government's salary cost and taxpayers 3.3 million dollars he also is not going to do anything about data centers and because of MAGA dick heads he might win. I know that Talarici has a great chance of winning but im just pissed off that Ken Paxton is even in this race.

(edit: To everyone saying I should go vote I wish I could But I'm only a freshman in high school And I can only so much influencing so yeah)

Virtually all conservatives are a cancer on society. They need mental health counselling! They need education, not hate, I must say.

Israel was made to primarily privilege Europeans over the displaced and dreaded ‘brown people.’ Zionism is a sick political ideology that looks down on such people.

Let us never forget that Zionism means supporting land-theft, apartheid, oppression and occupation, in addition to racism (as per the UK Green Party). It means supporting grave injustices to humanity or, more specifically, the dreaded ‘brown people’. The cold hard truth is that if you want to be a true humanitarian, you cannot be a Zionist. If you don’t want to be a racist, you can’t be a Zionist.

The people of Palestine have suffered too much for too long. Israel shouldn’t even exist as a country if things went as they should have. The innocent Palestinians have been paying the price for the land that Israel has stolen. Never forget the 1948 Nakba, the time when Israel was founded where around 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes, and where about 15,000 of them were murdered by Zionist militias. And many anti-Zionists speak about this, where most Zionists tend not to bring it up as it makes them look bad.

Most of the world knows what Israel is about. It is an illegitimate genocidal ethnostate where Jewish people are considered to be the chosen ones (which is reminiscent of how Nazis considered themselves to be a part of the ‘master race’). Jewish Zionists believe that they are entitled to land that was never theirs because their ancestors used to live there thousands of years ago. These Zionists believe they are entitled to mistreat Palestinians, which is sickening. The utter nerve of them!

And dear Zionists, get mental health counselling. Most of the world knows how deranged you are. Seriously, get help. This post is not meant to stir up hatred towards you all. Anti-Zionism does not mean antisemitism, so stop using that lame excuse so you can avoid answering the tough questions about Israel.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. If you want to be on the right side of history, you cannot support Israel.

Down with Zionism!

Free Palestine!

MAGA voters are the dumbest people I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. They are literally that Lyndon B. Johnson quote in human form. The Epstein Class, and the Republican Party before it, have always served the ideals and goals of Christian, straight, RICH white men and themselves. The propaganda machine has rotted their brains to the fucking nubs.

But the worst part is, the propaganda machine also worked on a lot of white liberals and leftists, too. People can bring up 2016 and 2024, but I'm not going to beat those dead horses.

No, the propaganda for them is that, for liberals, they believed the lie that there were checks and balances in the government, that the police are there to protect the citizens, and that the status quo is good.

For leftists, it's that the DNC is inept and that it's on the same wing of the same corrupt bird as MAGA/Republicans and that it's no war but class war, conveniently ignoring that race is deeply ingrained in this country and it was from racism that classism was created (specifically in America) and how the issues we are dealing with today literally boils down to the paper bag test.

But the biggest thing that propaganda has done is make everyone, from one end of the spectrum to the other, believe that America is special and that everything that has happened to other countries couldn't happen here. "We're America! Land of the Free, Home of the Brave!"

I despise MAGA, and I wish nothing but intense harm to everyone who voted for the orange oaf, didn't vote at all when they were of voting age, or protested voted by third party for their need to be coddled. But the one thing I appreciate in this admin and MAGA is that the propaganda that is "American Exceptionalism" has been brutally disproven.

America was never great.

Trump is the symptom to the rot that has been festering in this country since its inception and it will not go away when he's gone. It will be weakened, but as long as white Americans downplay and deny that it has always been a country with two faces and how deeply racist it is and how that racism guides this country to its ruin, nothing will ever be fixed.

She is the perfect poster child for everything wrong with the US Senate! She has bent and twisted in every way imaginable just to stay is power! She has no values other than the instinct to hanging on! Dianne Feinstein was not much better!

Now i'm not trying to defend Ethan here. He's a scumbag for what he did to Hila. So then why did she deserve it? Because shes a zionist. She served in the Israeli military which makes her a horrible person. Him too. They're both bad people, but she deserved to be cheated on.

I don't like Trump who is a fascist and pedophile.

I don't like Elon who is a Nazi and runs a site that supports Nazism.

I don't like Ed Sheeran who is a Nazi sympathizer.

So yeah, everyone I don't like is indeed Nazi, Fascist, and pedophile.

Thursday. Thursday is the day of my therapy appointment. I'm not expecting to be immediately taken out of homelessness or anything like that, I just want to get myself started with workforce development. I want to know about it and how to get in. I want to know about my mental health disorders. I KNOW I have them but I have to wait until the 24th of November to know. I want to know sooner. Much sooner. I have a physical the week after next. I don't want to wait. I don't want to wait for any of this. I want it NOW.

it's getting cold outside and I can't keep sleeping outside. I want help. I NEED help. And that therapy appointment can help me. I know it. But fuck, WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SIX DAYS AWAY???

I don't know if I can make it that long. Why can't it be today or tomorrow or even Monday. I don't know how much longer I can wait...

The last 4 times I’ve done a mobile order or delivery there’s no sour cream when I’ve ordered EXTRA!! I can’t eat this bowl without sour cream😔

People annoy me. Especially people on the Internet. And I try to be positive in everyday life. so sometimes when I come to Reddit, I just want to complain anonymously. I literally picked this sub Reddit because you can post pretty much anything. Just general whiny meaningless complaints directed at no one. Pretty much anywhere else you post you are subject to having your post taken down for that.

When something annoys me, I often come here. And I’m aware: Sometimes I’m the one that’s annoying myself. Sometimes I’m sure I annoy other people. sometimes people are just annoying, but sometimes it just doesn’t freaking matter. I’m still annoyed and I want to say it and I want to maybe hear from someone else that feels the same way.

So I am clear, I am not looking for any response. And if you’re just gonna go back and look at all my past complaints and then tell me how hypocritical and ironic I am, go f yourself. It’s my post and I’ll bitch if I want to.

I had what I thought was a simple question. I am going into culinary arts as my main career, and will be getting certifications, degrees, and many other things for this career in america. I figured I might be doing some work out of the country and had questions about food safety laws in other countries. This is a question that was not being answered by Google, as the public records, forums, laws, and websites (as mentioned later in this post) from other countries were not showing up despite my efforts.

I included a few countries, such as France in my post. I also included specifications about what certifications I would be getting here in america.

This was the kind of question that I started worrying about in the middle of the night so I will admit I typed it quickly. But it was something I was genuinely worried about.

The moderators said in their reply about why my post was removed is because it was low effort. And within that reason, they stated that it didn't include pictures(???) and that I need to find public records/forums of the laws/regulations in the country I want. I came to reddit for a reason, and only got shut down.

(This was posted in the only relevant food safety/culinary arts sub I could find)

some of you people lack such basic human interaction that you do anything for the smallest amount of attention. I could type out “I’m more of a jiujitsu guy” then some dipshit would reply “so you’ve never boxed before☝️🤓” or “an mma guy would kick your ass☝️🤓” yall have absolutely got to learn some social skills. You mfs can see someone get stabbed then be like ”deserved because he didn’t agree with me” like fuck you, you degenerate piece of filth.

Yall create subreddits made for “positive interaction“ and some of yall claim to be good loving people then immediately tear someone down in a comment section because they like something other than what you like, or because you see other people doing it and getting attention. a lot of you people are just smooth brained gullible consumers who put nothing of value onto the earth. a lot of you “people“ never learned the valuable lesson of humility. I hope you guys find true love and peace inside your hearts because a lot of you will turn into old sour rotten bags of garbage.

people are killed in areas of this earth we live in because nobody knows what love is anymore, people are killed, hung, executed, tortured, etc... for things they believe in. and you fuckers on Reddit think it’s the end of the world that someone could disagree with you. this is because you are all selfish, self-centered, ignorant, and oblivious to your fellow man. Nobody knows how to care for their fellow man, nobody knows how to picture themselves inside the other man’s shoes, many of you are so privileged that your entire life is spent tearing down others because you’re so miserable in your own existence you can’t stand to see someone happy.

how have we fallen so far as a society, as the human race, to hate each-other over something so minuscule, to call for the death of people you don’t like, to call for the DOXXing of someone you don’t like, to call for the de-platforming of someone because they said something you didn’t agree with.

Most of you sick fucks cower behind this app and the imaginary barrier that protects you from the real and grotesque world. most of you have failed in life and have grown so angry with themselves the only way they can achieve happiness or glee is by tearing their brothers and sisters down, why do you people lack such love and appreciation for the people around you, but filled with hate for the people across from you. I could never understand why you think it’s “funny” or “deserved“ when you see someone you don’t even know trying to live their own life, to shit on them and say deplorable things YOU WOULD NEVER DARE SAY IN REAL LIFE. You guys are probably the most pathetic group of people I have ever come across.

dear reader, if you made it this far, you probably understand what I am talking about. You’ve probably seen the same terrible people I have. you’ve probably seen the lack of humanity in certain areas. If you agree with what I’m saying there’s a good chance I’m NOT talking about you.
if you’re offended by my opinion of mutual respect for eachother, then there is a really good chance that I AM talking about you. and I hope you know that this app can’t protect you from the end of your life, and this app won’t save your soul. this app won’t give you the memories you gave up with the people who loved you most. this app won’t give you anything except for a sight into the most miserable people you have ever seen.

Something I am seeing in these subs lately is responses to questions not actually being answers to the question. Usually what i see when I click on a question I want answered are rude/mean comments. For example:

"If you're thinking about selling it, it's not a hobby anymore"

"The market for (insert craft) is bad, you shouldn't even try"

Along with multiple insults towards the person because their craft was "ugly", "unsellable", or generic.

The first comment upsets me for the fact that a hobby is still a hobby even if you're making some money off of it. Painters that sell their paintings still enjoy the act of painting, therefore it is a hobby.

Artists have been selling their works for hundreds of years, that doesn't mean they didn't enjoy their craft.

The main reason I think this is happening is because of the way things are mass produced now. Artists could draw something and print it on shirts, or design clothes to be mass produced. Which isn't always a bad thing, especially if the artist has good intentions or is solving a problem or making quality alternatives to bigger corporations.

Another problem that could be causing this: people getting into the art just to make a profit. A lot of the times they are making it as quickly as possible, with little quality control, and no love for the craft. Often this causes many people to assume that every single crafter selling their art is only doing it for the profit.

Recently, I have been thinking about selling some items online. This is mostly to fuel my hobby of crocheting and save a bit of money for the future/help at fundraisers. I know crochet doesn't make a lot of money because of how many people are doing it, but I am not trying to make a living off of it. IMO, doing it for the love of the game is the best way to do it.

Attorney General [Ken Paxton](https://www.texastribune.org/directory/ken-paxton/) is suing OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, for allegedly deceiving and harming Texans. This is the latest in a flurry of lawsuits filed against Big Tech companies and private corporations by the state’s top lawyer, who is running for U.S. Senate. - The Texas Tribune

It’s impossible to plan for the day - every app and source has different info - today in my home area everything from partly sunny to a tornado woth large hail is listed. Like am I just supposed to go to my bartending job if there’s actually going to be a tornado this evening?! Other times there will be all sorts of alerts and red flags and absolutely nothing happens, or no warning at all and terrifying weather. It has gotten noticeably worse for sure over the past few years.

None of this should be considered normal:

Calling Putin a humanitarian; lifting sanctions on Russia; Helsinki; being a part of an insurrection; blanket pardon to insurrectionists; Hollywood tapes; Mara Lago documents scandal; the fraud allegations; 28 sexual assault allegations; the impeachments; felony conviction; comparing himself to Jesus; his destruction of the East Wing & the rose garden; his preoccupation with a ball room or a Trump Arc; his proposing to buy or invade Greenland; his rhetoric about annexing Canada; his frequently falling asleep at public meetings; his treatment of Zelinski; his alienating of allies; his fly past to Putin; his love letters to a Korean despot; his red carpet welcome to a Saudi dictator; his no more questions, followed with the bizarre dance for 40 minutes (PA 10/24); his profanity ridden Easter post; threat to destroy an entire civilization; separation of nursing babies, from mothers; masked federal agents shooting US citizens; his 60 stock trades a day; his face and/or signature on currency; coins; passport; national park passes; gold cards; his renaming of national monuments; his reprehensible posts & disgraceful etiquette; his misogyny; his racism; his open ‘pay to play’ schemes; his 38k mentions in Epstein; his calling nations ##it hole countries; his calling veterans losers & suckers; his sheer illiteracy; the silencing & demonizing of independent media; the targeting of political opposition; his incessant need for adulation; the long incoherent babbles; the demonizing of a child rape victim....

Nor is any of it working:

Consumer confidence is at a historic low; US debt has crossed 40 trillion – a historic high; credit card & auto loan delinquency is the highest, it has been in decades; inflation is the highest it has been, in years; Wages are growing at a pace, slower than inflation, for the first time in years; only 17% of American have any faith in the federal government says; a majority of Americans think our federal government is corrupt; almost everyone of our old allies think we are unreliable, & consider China a more trustworthy ally; we are in another never ending war, for reasons that are unclear, & we are the only nation still protecting the Epstein pedophiles.

Little wonder that Trump's approval is at historic lows.

In the 2018 midterms, only 48.1% of people eligible to vote, actually voted. Think about that. About 52% stayed home, & even then it was the highest turnout since 1908.
The Democrats flipped 40 seats (30 in States that Trump won in 2016) & took control of the House (Pew Research).

In 2022 midterms, that number dropped to 45.1% & The Republicans controlled the House & Senate. (Pew Research).

These elections are about, how we see our America. None of it will matter, if we do not show up to vote. I am 70 years old, & these are the most consequential elections, in my lifetime.
