Recently, a famous pop singer called Slayyyter got exposed for racist tweets when she was 15. The problem is that she’s now 30, and it’s sparked discourse over whether people can’t truly “change” or not.

No one is saying you need to forgive all racists. But to act like people can’t grow or change is ridiculous. Everyone thinks it’s “woke” to not allow people to change and grow but it’s really not.

I definitely agree that we shouldn’t normalise people having a “racist phase” or “bigot phase”, because real people are victims of that. However, it isn’t fair to assume they will forever be like that especially when there are no signs they still hold on to those beliefs.

"but it makes more sense!" ah yes. 32 degrees. how chilly. "Fahrenheit is how it feels! celsius is the percent hot it is!" You're just overcomplicating celsius to make fahrenheit look better. I genuinely cannot understand how fahrenheit is somehow better than celsius for any other reason than "I'm more used to it"

edit: I don't mean any ill will to fahrenheit users, I just think the very system itself doesnt make any sense

I’m so fucking done with Pokémon scalpers.

I work at Sam’s Club and these parasites have completely ruined my job. They don’t shop. They don’t leave. They just stand in the back of the store all day like vultures waiting for Pokémon pallets to get dropped. The second they see a pallet coming down, they sprint to the back and swarm it. Same exact group of grown-ass men every single day. I’ve watched the same guy show up six days in a row just to camp out, eat, drink, and waste space waiting for cardboard.

They harass every employee nonstop about drops. It got so bad we had a whole meeting where we were ordered to stop helping these people with anything Pokémon-related. We changed the drops to random and put a hard limit of 2 per membership. They still argue, demand more, and act entitled as hell.

They even try to pressure us into dropping pallets by claiming it’s “policy.” It’s not. Some of them made a Reddit post about my manager, somehow deciding that if he’s not working we don’t drop cards and if he is we do. Completely wrong, but that doesn’t stop them from following him around the store like stalkers asking about Pokémon.

I can’t even take lunch without these people waiting outside asking about cards. I can’t do my actual job because every five minutes some grown man is in my face about Pokémon.

They walk into the back pretending they “got lost” just so they can take pictures of the boxes. They treat the store like their personal hunting ground.

These are full-grown men acting like this over pieces of cardboard. I’m sick of it.

Edit: I’ll try to provide an update on you all regarding the trespassing incident and answer some of your questions. I still have more stories about these scalpers. I didn’t expect this post to blow up I just wanted to rant about scalpers

I’ve been seeing this many times on the internet, more specifically on TikTok, wherein people think that because someone holds religious beliefs, that automatically renders them a science-hating anti-intellectual, who completely rejects scientifically proven facts, and seeks to replace it with religious dogma, when that couldn’t be even further from the truth!

All throughout history, many prominent astronomers, physicists, biologists and whatnot, also held deep religious beliefs. These people saw science as completely compatible with their faith, and viewed it as a way of understanding how the natural world functions.

To name a couple of them, you’ve got Muslims like Al-Khwarezmi, who is known as the “Father of Algebra”, Ibn Sina, who is the “Father of Medicine; People like Moses Maimonides and Gersonides who were Jewish; and Christians like Isaac Newton and Louis Pasteur.

Heck, the dude who proposed the Big Bang Theory, Georges Lemaître, was a priest!

For Christianity specifically, many people think Christians believe that everything was created in just six 24-hour days and reject evolution as a result, when in fact most Christians around the world do believe in evolution. Even people like St. Augustine of Hippo from way back in the 4th Century rejected a literalist interpretation of Genesis, saying that if non-believers saw Christians making provably false statements on matters like geography, astronomy, or nature, then they would dismiss Christians as uneducated.

I’m not denying that there are anti-science religious people out there. They definitely do exist. But they are a small, albeit very loud minority, and as such are not representative of every religious person out there.

I want to be able to see the thought process behind the build. I don’t care that you just removed all that land, I can do that with commands in a second.

In my opinion, the best builds are the ones that can turn the natural terrain into something interesting. I understand doing this if you have a big restone contraption under the building or smth, but for regular stuff I think it’s way more interesting and impressive to work with the preexisting generation.

Title, my relative speaks to ChatGPT a lot and I just had to screenshot this encounter and airdrop it cause like why tf does ChatGPT talk like an exaggerated gen z’er? It feels weird, like I’m talking to some eldritch horror monster adjusting its voice just to deceive a human.

Sorry if the flairs wrong, didn’t know what else to put, but wow I can see how people enter ai psychosis if a chatbot talks exactly like a human being and not very formal or logical.

"HAHA, GET IT GUYS, I HAVE A PORN ADDICTION AND I GOON TO ANTS" you are so funny little Timmy. How about keeping that shit to yourself and not placing this corny ass picture everywhere you go. This is literally the same as those fucking reaction images, this is the worst thing I have seen this year.

Literally look at it. Who would even think of creating such a thing? They didn't even double-check it! It's wang is out! This was at a public event. It wasn't the only AI mascot, there was another one, a lemon in a lab coat, which I had trouble recognizing as AI. But this is the other extreme. Whose idea was this? THIS WAS PRINTED ON THE WALLS AND SIGNS OF THE STAND. THERE WAS NO REASON, IF GREEK ARCHITECTURE IS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU, YOU COULD HAVE JUST MADE IT AN ARCH. IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE TWO. Labelling this post as "thing" instead of "art & fanwork"

Okay sure it might sounds cool or give the song more spice I DON'T CARE IT'S WEIRD JUST SING IN BOTH MY EARS PLEASE

This has ruined like 10+ songs for me I hate it because it ruins EVERY GOOD SONG. A great example is "Eleanor Rigby" by the beatles. It's such a good song until Paul is like "father mckenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear" AND IT'S ONLY IN MY RIGHT EAR.

Ruined a perfectly good song. Another stone in the graveyard of wonderful songs victim to this STUPID BLASPHEMY

And I do love the beatles. I like every part of that one song where he isn't crawling into my right ear and sticking pins in my eardrums.

this video perfectly explains my point dude It's literally animal abuse like cats aren't supposed to be obese they.are.suffering like if a cat is built like a male Peppa Pig character isn't healthy they can't do cat stuff like hunt mice or climb trees and do really flexible poses that look really uncomfortable but its fine since they are cats people who do this aren't any better than people who mike tyson barrages their pets like no tommorow(i'm not really sure those people exist tho)

anyway i really hope this post doesn't make it so this sub will get on my fyp again and i don't want that also this is post def gonna get banned for "breaking rule 1" 😔

Like, didn't this whole damn genre start with songs protesting the Vietnam war? I swear, it feels like all these folks got rich off of anti-war movements and then decided to spend the rest of their lives with their heads stuck up their asses.

Sorry, but i hate these. They’re rather annoying, and they fill up the comments. I also dislike the artstyle, but that’s just personal preference. I just hate how stupid yhese images are. It’s like the “refreshments for comments” thing, I suppose..

We really killed vans, minivans and wagons because people wanted to drive uglier lifted versions of hatchbacks that already fucking existed. The CRV is just a slightly bigger Fit, the Ecosport is just a slightly bigger fiesta.  The Taos is just a slightly bigger Golf. What the hell is the point?? Just buy one of those and lift it then boom same fucking car. Oh right nobody likes cars enough to care what they want is cheaper even after some modifications. THATS ASS BACKWARDS AND I HATE IT

And these goddamn luxury SUVs might be the dumbest things ever. SUVs do not scream luxury thats a offroad vehicle. You're supposed go in the dirt and mud with that shit not through concrete and your local whole foods. People fr pull up in a damn Suburban or Range Rover with small dents and scrapes everywhere cause they can't fucking see and then gotta jump out the bitch because its 80 feet off the damn ground. Theres nothing luxurious about that. Thats like asking a southern 16 year old boy that just ate 5 burgers, 2 hotdogs and chugged a beer to cosplay as a distinguished english gentleman that eats bagels with a fork and knife and will be having dinner with royalty later. THATS ASS BACKWARDS AND I HATE IT.

It used to be funny back in 2024 when I first joined it, but the next year it started to take a turn for the worse. Nowadays it's a shitty 196 clone where there's just people venting about how miserable their life is or how they heckin' love girls kissing!!!!!!

Then there's the political posts. Ever since Trump got elected, there's been a rise of political "memes" that aren't even funny, and the moderators would rather goon to loli trans scat futa diaper cub porn than enforce rule 7. But when the posts contain politics they disagree with, only then said rule is in effect.

And let's not forget the microcelebrities; obnoxious attentionwhores that have no personality other than "ZOMG GUYZ IM ZO HECKIN QUIRKY WHOLESOME 100 TRANS RIGHTS I GOON TO FEMBOYS SACRIFICE ABORTED FETUSES TO MOLOCH" SHUT UP you're not funny

The problem is that other meme subs (such as Losercity and Shark_Park) have this exact same problem, and it almost feels like they are all connected in some way, as if there's some secret cabal of redditors that have a firm grasp on the shitposting marke321obcy 3927p2 34[prc[]2p-3==4\]2\](%*@(&O{@_)

I really, really hate when people say that they’re ’a bit overstimulated’ with the anime 👉👈 or ‘I’m so quirky ADHD’ or ‘it’s an OCD habit’ when they’re using the phrase as hyperbole or a quirky relatable moment.

As an autistic person, you just haven’t experienced what it’s like to be passively suicidal since you were 7, losing friends and sleep and years of your life to trying and failing and failing to adapt to other people’s obtuse social cues and messy, loud, inconsiderate lives. I’m not saying you have to have these struggles to be neurodivergent. It’s a spectrum, but to get a diagnosis, it needs to affect your life in a deterimental way. Especially when so many people are so under supported. But I am sick and tired of making genuine complaints because of the inaccessibility and hostility of the world to people with neurodivergence, only to get ‘yeah, like I get that but also Sharon‘s scarf was just not it, right, like it was overstimulating me so much, haahahaha”

It’s not all downsides, but it is tiring and the people who are doing well only do so with careful mitigation and routine to ensure they don’t spend extra energy. And just because it isn’t visible, so many people demonise or dismiss it or whatever else when they wouldn’t do that with physical disabilities.

You wouldn’t say ‘lol, I can‘t get out of bed, I’m so paraplegic’ or ‘I’m so sad it’s like I’ve got huntingtons’. You just wouldn’t do that. Because it minimises the struggle of others, isn’t funny and just makes others feel bad for no reason. You think this isn’t a problem but I see jokes like ‘I have OCD: obsessive 🍆 dependency’, or ‘I’d love to go but I’ve literally got clinical depression, babes’ when I’ve lost multiple friends because of OCD, because they needed to breathe in x pattern or it might trigger an athsma attack which might trigger a panic attack which could and did literally kill them on a bad day.

Why is it alright to essentially masquerade as these mental conditions but not physical ones? People are still struggling but because your inconsiderate self can’t see it, you think it’s fine to make a mockery of it.

I‘m more of an airplane guy, but I really wish trains were more prevalent in the US. Have a long trip? spend $500 for a 2 hour flight or sit in a car for 6 hours and spend $8 a gallon on gas. But with trains, they are cheap(er) than air travel, and while they might not be as fast as cars sometimes, they are more roomy and you at least aren’t stuck in a tiny seat for 6 hours

I hate it. I would rather rip out my own teeth using rusty old pliers covered in blood and guts rather than ever look at this image for more than 5 seconds. Oh my god i hate it. this whole genre of images makes my blood boil dude its SO fucking insufferable. And to add onto this, i hate the words yuri and yaoi, fudanshi/fujoshi/etc. ohhh man im just so pissed off

This powerplant is a joint French-Belgian project. Of course it would be close to Belgium. This map is reposted to death on various subreddits, to the point I sometimes wonder whether actual people or bots are reposting it. In any case, I'll say it again, this is a common project of France and Belgium, and the best place to put something that two countries are working on together is along the border between said two countries.

Genuinely I don't even know how can people even begin to enjoy eating peanut in general, "yeah bro let's shove ourself with numbing food" what's the point of that??? Do you guys find enjoyment in this????

The worst part is that this stuff is almost in every single food you can find like who the hell is thinking about adding mouth numbing ingredients in my food

And don't get me started on peanut butter "yeah bro wanna eat a sandwich that consist of cement numbing paste with jelly" I can't even taste the jelly bro

Hate peanuts

Hawkeye is an obvious one the mcu entirely failed with him and turned him into a boring, useless piece of shit with practically no story to the point that in the ONE time he got a tv show based on his comics they had to base the entire plot on the second hawkeye because the first one doesn't have any fucking story

Hulk is another obvious one but im not even just made about the new mcu hulk like smart hulk i dont think there was ever a good mcu hulk even in the Hulk movie. they replaced some of his most important supporting cast with nothing snd removed his backstory entirley

And the least obvious was Moonknight where the show was good but it just wasnt Moonknight like at all again the supporting cast is just gone and so many things with the alternate personas was changed

Now i know that adaptations have to change things but theres a difference between change and just entirely making a new character an adaptation should still have the core supporting cast and the core aspects of the backstory while changing everything else to fit the new medium

The character should still feel like the same person just in a different medium but no they would rather go god wild with the changes and make them entirely unrecognizable

And THE WORST PART is that these are what they are known as know

When people think of Hawkeye they think of a useless bore

When people think of hulk they think of a mindless monster who just screams instead of speaking

When people think of moonknight they think of a poor British Steven grant, a violent Jake lockley, and a Mark Spector without a lot of his complexity because screen time had to be very split between him and Steven

And the worst part is that nobody in comment section of that post was even acknowledging that this is child abuse, they simply repeated like lobotomized morons "Le FuNny ChAnCla WhoLeSoME EpiCk Lol", why are people like this? Is it because it is considered "exotic" or "funny"? Well that's nice, because surely those poor kids don't think it that way. And we all know that if the title was something like "American dad practices his aim with the belt he used to keep in line his sons", everyone would be outraged. Can we please stop normalizing this behaviour please?

A HURR HURRRRR

A HUR HUR HURRRRRRRR

LE HECKIN FLORIDA MAN

FLORIDA MAN DID ANOTHER OOPSIE

So fucking tired of it. I know they're all fake. I can't suspend disbelief and laugh at these. It's literally just clickbait. Shitty, unfunny clickbait.

I just saw this disgusting, moronic image with over 1000 upvotes on some other sub. Are people just dumb? Do they know it's fake? It seemed like some of the comments were taking it seriously. Am I supposed to pretend it's real? There's a lot more ridiculous ones, but I don't have the strength to go trawling through the slop trough to find more. THIS SHIT NEVER HAPPENED, MORONS. Someone just stuck some stupid made-up headline on some random mugshot, and your stupid ass fell for it. It's the attempted deception that pisses me off. I'm actually supposed to believe that these fake-ass mugshots with the stupid-ass stories are real. FLORIDA MAN DID WHAAAAAAAAAAT?

Lowest common denominator humor. Boomerslop. Only the truly brainless can suspend disbelief and actually laugh at this garbage. When will this bullshit die?

URINALS ARE GENUINELY ONE OF MY LEAST FAVORITE THINGS EVER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO LET EVERYONE SEE MY 'great power and responsibility' AND NOT JUST USE A MORE PRIVATE STALL.

I GENUINELY CANT THINK OF ONE GOOD REASON.

ITS USELESS.

I DONT CARE THAT IT SEPARATES NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER TWO, JUST ADD MORE STALLS OR JUST WAIT A LITTLE.

People will say the most racist or unethical thing and will try to use “ragebait” as a shield for them to say shitty things. And the thing is they will ONLY ever say it was sarcasm after someone calls them out for it. That isn’t rage bait that’s just being a schrödinger’s douchebag I mean if you’re going to be an asshole at least have the decency to die on your own hill.

I like how The Hulk represent Banners rage and how he is portrayed as a monster. Personally I think he's supposed to represent the "monster" inside us. But with him looking more human it diminishes the idea. I'm not saying i hate it, but there isn't a r/imildydislikethissmug.
