Grandpa: Your Opa sounds like a good man. Warfare is not like what it used to be. Technology is everything, nothing is done by eyes or ears anymore. Politicians try to tell the generals how to fight and lawyers draw up the rule's of engagement. To be honest, i feel bad for you. As an officer in today's world your going to be dealing with frustration and political correctness that i never had to put up with.

It's true, the Waffen-SS didn't abide political correctness.

I guess there's a good chance this is fake.

Today, Reddit's leadership banned a handful of the site's communities, also known as "subreddits," after deciding they didn't fall in line with its new anti-harassment policies. The rules were announced in May and marked a significant shift in the company's attitude towards moderation, which for years was essentially a bullet point that said "don't do anything super illegal." That laissez-faire approach incubated some of the nastiest places on the internet, including subreddits like "Fat People Hate" — one of the communities that was just banned.

So now that Reddit is taking more control, the site's angry trolls are ready to burn down the house. They're already calling it the next Digg, which is probably the most serious threat you can make to the people who run Reddit, who live in perpetual fear of becoming the next Digg.

Can Reddit's toxic, pro-harassment underbelly ditch its old home and build a sturdy new one virtually overnight? Many of the free-speech purists fleeing Reddit management's newly hands-on approach hope so.

Intermittent community backlash is a regular part of Reddit life, but no outpouring of anger and bile has been as intense as the current meltdown over interim CEO Ellen Pao’s announcement that the site will now ban harassing subreddits like r/fatpeoplehate.

Some redditors are now vowing to use AdBlock and urging each other to stop buying Reddit Gold—a strategy that has been backfiring—in order to deprive Reddit of income and force Pao to resign.

But other users are determined to find a new home where they won’t have to worry about censorship for communities that freely incorporate hate speech, harassment, and otherwise reprehensible behavior.

Enter Voat, a Reddit clone that until this week received scant attention but is now blowing up as a sort of refugee community for Reddit's vilest expatriates.

they shd come to ilx

don't even joke

the banapalooza would be entertaining for about 36 hours

Vilest of all time

I actually had a minor flashback to that

how could it still be september if no one uses usenet now

we should use usenet again, why was it we quit

lol because of Eternal September!

those ppl gotta be all gone now, faceborkin on teh phones

we're clear

Someone should wake that Green Day guy up!

(Now I'm scared someone's going to think I sincerely made a dad joke just then.)

I am so vehemently in favor of aggressive modding everywhere at all times
Let them come and be modded into dust

Im sure 4chan will welcome them all back

i've changed my mind about reddit. reddit needs to be preserved at all costs

legaladvice and relationshipadvice are both unalloyed gold

kinda lol but mostly sad

misread "resume tweaking" as meaning "going back to meth", thought his parents had a point

if only

He has no meth and he must scram :-(

My [26M] girlfriend [24F] of two years always includes poetry in cards she gives me. I'm not into it.Relationships (self.relationships)

submitted 8 days ago by nomorepoetry

I'll start by saying I love my girlfriend. I think she's beautiful, intelligent, and very caring. We get along together extremely well. We moved in together after only 2 months but have never had any major fights. We just work. It's a great feeling

Which makes me realize that this gripe is minor, so I don't know how to address it. Every card I have ever received from my girlfriend (birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's day etc) has included poetry. On one side she'll write something short, but sweet and thoughtful, which I like. On the other side, she'll write a few lines from a poem or other classical literature. I get that she is a librarian and literature is something she's studied extensively and cares about. Frankly, it leaves me cold. I was a stem major and work in a scientific field now, and classical literature, ESPECIALLY poetry, do not interest me in the slightest.

I figured she would pick up eventually that I don't care about the fancy words and much prefer her own, but my birthday recently rolled around and there was poetry in the card. She even made a point of repeating the passage to me. I asked her why she always felt the need to use someone else's words, but she just replied that the words were beautiful and she felt a connection to them and us.

I don't know how to broach this topic without hurting her feelings. I would be fine if she just signed the card, or no card at all. I love this girl, but I'm tired of the poems.

tl;dr: How do I tell my girlfriend to leave the poetic craps off when she writes cards?

and he's getting absolutely taken to the cleaners over that post

yeah true

all these are very strange fantasies

what a moron

thinkpiece abt how the extreme mundanity of the reddit storytelling house style is destroying virgins sexual imagination

if only she knew that algorithms were the way to my heart
