reddit is like the internet's rome, drawing in all the different races and regions of internet culture. angry libertarian/atheist nerds, misogynistic creepos, unashamed racists, aspies, space shuttle lovers, techwads, grown men who dress like characters from kids cartoons and have sex with each other, etc. it's def pretty weak on the lib arts front, but that's why there's ILX.

outstanding backhanded zing, should not go unnoticed

burt's still got it

overemployed reddit

that's the cool thing about reddit, it's half shit like this and half white knighting.

of course, Marxist explanation might be that there's a dialectical relationship.

And now here's Milan Kundera on Reddit's "Faith in Humanity: Restored" macro images and threads: For Kundera, "Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick succession. The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass! The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass! It is the second tear that makes kitsch kitsch."

And then jaded bastards laugh at that whole statement and glory in its ridiculousness, thus producing the anti-kitsch. The dialectic never ends...

i don't complain abt reddit

aaannnnd scene.

Yeah. I got to be queen for the day.

why is that on the reddit thread

god the tag "noted redditor" is so embarassing

half of me thinks cool, giving $10,000 to a mall cop, that's a really good tip, the other half thinks what is so special about this one occurrence, do redditors just really get off on seeing this video, is their "justiceporn" tag more accurate than it should be

it wouldn't be a thing if reddit didn't always immediately jump to complaining about this "poor fat loud black woman" stereotype as soon as the opportunity arises. feels like the whole thing is being treated as grand justice being served against that entire fantasy like "finally someone stood up to [you know, that type of person]"

and when i say "reddit" i always mean the popular front page stuff, i know subreddits are better and w/e

like r/mensrights

*i know [extremely specific subreddits with less than 12 regular users] are better and w/e

always was a fan of "sub-custos at best"

god the tag "noted redditor" is so embarassing

agree, but in this case i believe "noted" was used as a verb

i don't really know much about reddit personally. i have been on and found it like "too mainstream" or whatever. i think in my head i equate reddit people with those people who are really into bacon - just, like, the most superficially adjusted and banal ppl of all time. yet i can't call it banal per se. there's always this terribly slight edge to everything there, yet an "edge" that's so safe that it becomes the opposite of edgy? i think i'd prefer it if it were just deeply banal, but instead you get these people w/ their little jokes and self importance and ugh

not sure if i saw it on reddit or one of those other aggregator sites but i remember stumbling across some post that was all like "look at this cool fountain!" as if it was some sort of precious hidden gem. it was the fountain next to the nbc building in midtown manhattan - like, the one right next to every single hotel. gah

everything about that story is depressing

seriously just needs an "smh" at the end

I am so glad I don't work at a pizza place anymore with clever redditors out there waiting with their witty special instructions.

ok so this is a thing i take it.

oh man

fucking internet delivery ads are the worst. they make me want to resign from the human race.

I've since discovered 'worldnews' and am beginning to regret my previous defense of the site. So much white nationalism in all but name & 'muslimz are teh worst' content.

on what basis did you ever defend that subdrudge shitsite

http://pandodaily.com/2013/02/10/william-shatner-calls-out-reddit-for-racism-and-hate-mongering/

no winners.

Kinda love William Shatner now

heheh, there are a thousand stories of him being a dick tho.

his character on boston legal was supposed to be some loveable racist sexist anti-pc archie-bunker scamp, so there's that too.

Must've missed the #niggerjailbait episode of "Boston Legal".

shatner basically saying racism is a bad PR move, so what

xpost

it was nominated for an emmy, iirc.

This is a bit like Shatner's "why don't you nerds get a life?!" SNL sketch from the 80s.

intoxicated and hatereading reddit here you go http://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/18euhv/im_just_saying_i_was_less_racist_before_i_became/
