everybody on ilx complains about reddit

i'm pretty sure SRS is sincere bc there are groups dedicated to mocking SRS

http://www.reddit.com/r/SRSsucks

right i guess i just mean that some of the stuff i seem to remember seeing on srs seems so close to self parody that i can't help thinking there are trolls there. but poe's law, i suppose.

speaking of reverse poe's law, i couldn't figure out whether this was sincere or parody:

Who said anything about a love hate relationship? It is simply a hate relationship. NewJudaism calls for an end of nationality to be replaced by a single world government run by the UN. The reason that our emphasis is currently on the zionist entity is to demonstrate that nations can be taken down-providing precedent for further nation dissolving. It is the same reason why we as progressives support an open border between the US and Mexico- in order to provide reparations to Mexico for its Naqba of 1848, when the US stole Mexicos most populous provinces and based its prosperity on the theft. The re-election of Obama has shown that the US has repudiated the noxious belief in "exceptionalism"

lots to unpack there

SRS has a lot of the same problems as that part of tumblr where a bunch of it is good and important and a bunch of it is horrible people using the language to defend otherkin and a bunch of it is "allies" digging in way too far on things they don't have experience with and having way too much fun

Yah.

SRSly

point #1 in SRS's DILDOS AND DILDON'TS in the side-bar :

RULE X: SRS is a circlejack and interrupting the circlejack is an easy way to get banned.

they suggest other other places for real discussion in the section SRS FEMPIRE

by the way, do you also love to orient your life around online infotainment: interesting articles and user-generated original content that is very useful in your daily life? day after day having the impression you are learning something new, you know what's going on and get a wonderful feeling of "control"? if so you are welcomed to check

where "every morning" i will post a couple of links to interesting stuff i have read from reddit .

I don't think i understand exactly how reddit works. The site seems unwieldy and annoying to navigate and I've never managed to stay there for more than ten seconds without being annoyed.

Nations are going to be dissolved by the internet anyways, don't need no secret conspiracy to do that.

fail whale coup

this is prob facebook but

or tumblr i guess http://get-elain-a-horse.tumblr.com/

I have 5,000 on facebook so I am almost there. I want brown horse with some white. I will braid the hair.

One thing that kind of makes me IA is when people write out something that they could easily type out, and pose for it a la the above image.

I tumblr! My name is Elaine. You can see me in this picture! That is me holding the sign, HI! Well my hubby said that if this gets 1 MILLION notes, he will buy me a horse. I would love a horse I grew up on a farm where I rode and ate horses til i was 15 when I moved.

maybe she's just really hungry?

I would love a horse I grew up on a farm where I rode and ate horses til i was 15 when I moved.

I'm just worried about the potential follow-up campaign: "if this post get a million notes, I will eat an entire horse"

(um xpost)

given the source i'm glad she just wants to own the horse tbh

My husband obviously thinks this is going to be an impossible task thats why I am taking this on the interwebs where i can get likes.

use of "interwebs" makes me think this is a prank

yeah

Some people (esp. older people) use interwebs because they think its a clever "hip" term used by the kids so they use it to appear more web-savvy.

next you'll say they're creating "youre the man now dog" pages featuring animated gifs of their grand kids

Would provide hits

"ohhh, you are the man now, little stevie" "i love u gram grams"

The circumstances under which little Stevie becomes the man could only be tragic ;_;

fucking stop

Oh, I didn't mean you, 乒乓. I just meant those fucking faces. And the "girls are a weird and different species" creep vibe. And the website that gives people a safe place to deploy both of those elements in one webcomic.

I mean, stop the world. I want off this merry-go-round.

what do girls do on the internet anyway? I mean, statistically, some of them have to be online, but really......?

I've been to the Reddit front page with all good intentions of giving it a try,However, the home page alone is so ugly and overwhelming I've never gone any further.

There are still people making 'Twitter morelike Twatter' comments?

I read it as a post-lolcats intentional bad spelling thing

That face represents pleasure in the "rage comic" world

a redditors range of emotions can pretty much be reduced to those five faces

check the bed stain

Oh ffs.

Reddit is a place where nerdy people are looking for acceptance from other nerdy people and the actual percentage of people that actually buy merch like that purely for their own amusement is likely extremely low.

RedditInternet ...yeah, yeah

Like, I bet everyone is secretly sick of the Nicholas-Cage-face-makes-X-funny but it's all these desperate people trying to please everyone else:

A: "Everyone seems to acknowledge this is as funny and I'll be validated" (shows picture of Nicholas Cage)

B: (Receives picture of Nicholas Cage) "I should publicly acknowledge this is funny because I see it is popular to perceive it that way"

last three panels of 'after girl-pee smell' actually turned my stomach
