everybody on ilx complains about reddit

I thought I was making up that jpeg no joke

ha, either pat yourself on the back for the dead-on imitation or never turn your computer on again.

(hint: go for the former.)

pplains, i'm dying over here.

you guys don't think the problem is more that a large media corporation is share-cropping its content and traffic generation to users?

what are you talking about, man, reddit is independent and the future and grassroots

I went to one of those links and the reddit thread was a still from a fps videogame of some woman bent over against a wall and all the comments were self-congratulatory atheist zings.

I saw Self-Congratulatory Atheist Zings open for First Vagina Finish Line last year; not crazy about the Sufjan-y vibe they're going for.

what i mean is there's no socially redeeming way to post/generate prurient linkbaity stuff.

what if you do it while wearing a pinstripe suit and spats

is that how they do it on boingboing?

all zoot suit wearers are redditors but not all redditors wear zoot suits

does any social media darling not do this? it seems like every social media platform tom sawyers their early following into whitewashing their fence for perpetual traffic. the only thing that separates reddit from a kickstarter or pinterest is that they cashed out to a corporate acquirer a little too early.

so i got pointed to this very entertaining thread recently: http://www.reddit.com/r/chemistry/comments/11vh13/a_coworker_dumped_25_gallons_of_35_naocl_into_a/

I'm not a regular on the chemistry reddit, but I think it's a good example of the sort of specialized discussion / casual shop-talk atmosphere that makes the technical reddits nice places.

seems to be the most appropriate thread - or is the issue of privacy and doing hateful things 'anonymously' a big enough issue in 2012 to warrant its own?

Kinda started seeing the first rumblings of those outings after violentacres was revealed.

redditors probably smell like bo all the time. just a guess.

I find it oddly comforting how young these all seem to be.

a new generation of young racists to keep the cross burning

yeah there's that side too. but part of me thinks "young people are horrible uniformly" so somehow that helps this make sense.

in a nutshell

wait, Wait, WAIT.

Walmart sells 12-packs of Mtn Dew for less than five bucks? I'm definitely going to have a talk with the manager of my local SuperCenter.

man real poor people know cvs has had 12-packs of coke products for like $3.50 for a month now

i can generally make it through about three entries on that public shaming site before the urge to render myself unconscious by beating my head into my desk kicks in. so i guess it's working.

who brings mountain dew to a party, i mean c'mon

an atheist who makes minimum wage duh

LOL that is hilarious. Dude even has some kind of atheist disciple following at the end there.

i also knew that they all make over 6 digits

"kind of shrill and very self righteous" but xian whites are the stingiest ppl in existence

i didn't know shaq
-was atheist
-made minimum wage

i also knew that they all make over 6 digits

Well of course. the only way to stay rich is to shop at walmart and ignore elderly cries for 21¢.

my first thought as well

"and by other fish in the sea I mean strippers, because I know nothing of human girlfriends"

hey now, strippers can be girlfriends too

you'd probably would want to stop putting dollar bills in their underwear before you ask one out, tho

create a path of dollar bills from your front door to the bed, watch magic happen

strippers who date customers are generally not good girlfriends OR good strippers
