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/

BUT THE SETTLERS OF CATAN SEAFARERS EXPANSION SUBREDDIT HAS SOME REAL GREAT GUYS

there's actually a great link in there: http://tippingresearch.com/most_recent_tipping_papers.html

"the biggest problem I have with the phrase separation of church and state is that by using the word church, and not temple, mosque et al. you are re-enforcing Christian bias. Perhaps we need to start calling it separation of religious dogma and state, eh redditors?"

eh, redditors

i have definitely bought people pizza and had pizza bought for me through the random acts of pizza subreddit. 99% of reddit is disgusting but that subreddit is among the best things the internet has ever accomplished tbh

My boyfriend and I lost our cat last night, to what we assume was cardiomyopathy. We didn't even know he had anything... which I guess is the way it goes. He went from being a totally healthy 1.5 year old cat, to dead, in about ten seconds. I'm actually still replaying it in my mind wondering if could have given cat CPR or something. However, it is what it is. I just don't feel like cooking tonight.

Good Fucking Grief

You know, no shit, we lost a cat Sunday night and yet somehow, we were still able to feed ourselves in the past 24 hours.

My biggest pet peeves about reddit:

1.) Racism/Sexism/Creepy

2.) The whining and passive-aggressive self pity that seems to accompany 40% of reddit posts.

3.) The up/down arrow system of arranging a thread. Any other board and that would be No. 1.

3 is what keeps me completely uninterested even in the niche type boards that i'd be otherwise interested in

Sorry about your cat, pp.

One of our dogs is alive because my wife gave it rescue breathing, so to answer your friend's question "sure, you can give a cat cpr".

Thanks, life. It's the fourth animal we've lost in a year, so I'm a little used to it. Just stumbling around the house in a 1000-yard stare, clutching a Purina bag.
