everybody on ilx complains about reddit

i have a carson wentz funko on my desk

they're propping up a complete nerd fandom area at Target stores

i think the funko figures of my youth were all super detailed mcfarlane toys; dunno if that's more or less defensible.

I feel like those scratch a slightly different itch unless you're so far down the rabbit hole you just collect everything from a particular vendor

I've got to give mcfarlane credit, their toy quality was a heck of a lot better out of the gate than their comic quality

that is one of the lowest bars imaginable to clear tho tbf

Can't argue with the title:

I love collecting shit, I just despise anything made specifically to collect.

LOL

this is a good read

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/03/19/reddit-and-the-struggle-to-detoxify-the-internet

that is a good read. makes a strong argument, actually, that reddit is better than facebook!

Each desk is decorated aggressively with personal flair—a “Make Reddit Great Again” hat, a glossy print magazine called Meme Insider.

god that's depressing

In retrospect, this seems like a straightforward business decision, but some redditors treated it as the first in an inevitable parade of horrors. “This rule is stupid and suppresses our rights,” u/penisfuckermcgee commented.

that whole article is filled with money quotes

yea that's a good article

reminds me of an argument I had where someone was praising Trump admin's "red team blue team" idea to stage a "public debate" on climate change, where I said the entire idea was idiotic because you're giving equal time to people who make up facts and argue in bad faith and we might as well give equal airtime to the flat earthers as well. but that's this modern world for ya!!!

“What is ReallyWackyTicTacs?” another employee asked, looking down the list.

“Trust me, you don’t want to know,” Ashooh said. “That was the most unpleasant shit I’ve ever seen, and I’ve spent a lot of time looking into Syrian war crimes.”

lmao those are just Minions memes but with Nazi propaganda instead of Garfield-level observations

kind of straddles that line the article hints at

meme insider seems like a pretty unimaginative magazine. "Talking." "Talking." "Chatting."

This is brilliant (especially the idea that he's spending his time collecting photos of "really attractive guys with mostly their shirts off" and apparently thinks he's still 100% heterosexual) but what is this 'braincels'? Obviously some offshoot of the incels, but something to do with CoD Black Ops? I could find this out for myself but really don't want to.

Welcome to r/Braincels! If you want a fun, energizing, and thought-provoking atmosphere for incel culture, you've come to the right place.

hell yea

fun, energizing, and thought-provoking atmosphere for incel culture

nope, these words do not go together

this is the same poster, pretty sure that he's trolling

https://www.reddit.com/r/Braincels/comments/86pk0w/i_only_masturbate_to_men_now/

/r/braincels is just /r/incels redux, and the Black Ops 2 thing is a reference to this picture of a guy wearing a Black Ops 2 t-shirt. He's become a sort of incel world mascot, I guess because they think he, whoever he is, looks like the prototypical incel. They sometimes treat him as a mythic figure and refer to him as St. BlackOps2cel.

everything on reddit is real imo

So there's a new "redesign" today or am I just only seeing it for the first time for some reason? I don't get it, it's like they just switched to a slightly different version of shitty circa-2003 web design.

i respect that

It's like they made a car everyone thought was really ugly and they were like "we hear you, and we're going back to the drawing board" and then they just come out with the same car but it has different wheel covers and headlamps

most car manufacturers do that every couple years between major redesigns, seems like a solid plan

they're slowly rolling out a new version of the site apparently

theres a new voting structure where u decide if something is "extra meme" or not

you are now required to take a colored pill before you can access the site

I immediately disliked it but I'm sure I won't care in two days.

v cool website

Racist slurs are permitted on Reddit, says the popular social news and discussion site’s chief executive, Steve Huffman.

Within a discussion thread that followed the publishing of the site’s transparency report on Russian propaganda, Huffman, in reply to a question from a Reddit user about whether “open racism, including slurs” are allowed on the platform, said their use was not against Reddit’s rules.

“On Reddit, the way in which we think about speech is to separate behavior from beliefs,” said Huffman under his username spez. “This means on Reddit there will be people with beliefs different from your own, sometimes extremely so. When users’ actions conflict with our content policies, we take action.”

quite liking this redesign tbh

I’m a little emotional right now for other reasons but that makes me want to cry.

omggggg

is there anyone on reddit who wasn't raised by wolves?

personally I'm v v happy about this post, as someone often suddenly struck by the embarrassing realisation I have no idea how to do basic everyday tasks: now, a new patron saint of having it worse than I do

gr8 b8 m8 etc

If NotKnowPotato is the Dante Alighieri of reddit literature, this guy is at least the Ariosto

pretty sure that's a well-crafted joke

either way, it doesn't say much for reddit when there's a non-zero possibility that a poster might have reached adulthood without realising that boiled eggs are meant to be peeled before consumption

is this guy a murderer or what pic.twitter.com/n1bDvOvZki

Ever since that revelation the guy would sit on the shitter with the seat up cos he thought the seat was for girls, I'd believe anything of some idiots.
