everybody on ilx complains about reddit

it's teens bullying each other on Yik Yak

i want Yik Yak but they don't make an app for my lol windows phone

I was recently wondering if anyone over 14 gets anything out of /b/ anymore.

OK, so I will make just one more remark about reddit, having just perused a few threads dealing with recent events.

Reddit used to just be kind of obnoxious, now at times it seems like its headed towards overt white supremacy and complete objectification of women, and could potentially become literally fascist in its dominant ideology. It's also becoming one of the biggest websites in the world and is a significant grounds for online socialization of young men. That's scary.

I could ramble on so more about the roots of the reddit ideology, in some of the relatively informed discussions I see the likes of Sam Harris being brought up pretty often. It seems like the logical extension of a kind of fundamentalist physicalist philosophy that's increasingly en vogue. Sam Harris was also mentioned by the proto-Nazi creepy liberal guy I met, apparently Harris inspired the talk about the need to nuke Pakistan ASAP. But anyway maybe this isn't the best place for the philosophical implications of reddit ideological group gropes.

my first time on reddit i said "oh, it's FARK" and i've not yet seen anything to contradict that take.
so of course i just looked up fark now and holy shit is it dead

Kind of agree but what's the Fark version of https://www.reddit.com/r/askphilosophy ?

It is more evolved fark, but the evolution includes tentacles and vestigial antennae

lol

this whole thing is p incredible and also how users are tagged by ideology and even have their own icons then spend the entire time explaining the different ideologies to each other lmao its very strange https://www.reddit.com/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/3ucp8y/i_was_beat_up_by_left_anarchists_in_greece

Anarcho-capitalists are the anarchists who support capitalism. I had a fanny pack (yeah, lame I know) for my camera and in that I had this yellow and black bowtie (also super lame, it was a joke but I wasnt wearing it).

at least I've found a new display name

Stop initiating force against me.

full anarchists like us

^^^ This was where I felt the Spies Like Us franchise started running out of steam.

the anarchist subreddits are highly highly recommended

for just the reasons lagume highlights

im totally for anarchism it seems, fun

what are their moderators like?

pretty free for all unless someone is an out and out fascist--"no safe space for fascist speech" is a common banhammer delivery

watching, like, Deep Green Resistance tree sitters argue with software engineer distributists and high school students who want to break windows is kinda fun

hope he finds a lawyer who will gladly take his money

but the TO says he's actually gonna seek legal action if i show up again because he viewed my post of punching him in the face (you know the one lol) as a LEGIT THREAT when it was OBVIOUSLY just meant to be a joke.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I JV 3'd you in the october monthly and sent you into losers 2-0 in semis where you got destroyed by Tim and ever since you've been the biggest bitch on the face of the earth. you call me salty bc I react loudly, throw controllers, trash talk players etc. but the truth is I don't have a fraction of the amount of salt you have. you think you're some sort of top player but you're complete shit you haven't won ANYTHING in like an entire year. you take it out on me because you were better then me for a while, I admit, but now I'm fucking raping you every time we fight and you can't deal with that because your a salty coward. fuck you and your girlfriend is a fat whore.

finally, some play-by-play of what these matches are really like

How much trouble could we get in if I gave my cousin information about a stock from where I work? (self.legaladvice)
submitted 23 hours ago by possibletroublethrow
I know there are laws against insider trading and I didn't want to get in trouble for anything. So I gave my cousin the information I knew about my company stock. Now apparently there is an investigation because someone got suspicious and my cousin (with the same uncommon last name as me) has never bought stocks before so it looks weird. He did make some money from it and gave me 2/3 of it.

lol

i'm dying

B-)

grateful there is a place people can post about their lil' legal difficulties

"I know there are laws against insider trading and I didn't want to get in trouble for anything, but I went ahead and did exactly that anyway now what do I do"

make full confession on internet, speeds things along

But a throwaway account was made, he/she isn't stupid!

so amazing

seems like they were under the impression that as long as you dont do the trade yrself its cool

telling yr cousin means it's public information right

the kicker at the end where he takes 2/3 of the money is great

that can't be real, right

I mean, it's probably real, but that can't be real
