Is everything ok? You seem to be going through something here. Just know we’re here for you if you decide you need help.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 8 hours ago:
I looked at a few of the posts from the screen shot and most of that “engagement” is people warning other people that it’s bot posted content, or pointing out reposted Reddit memes. I don’t consider that real engagement. There are a few that seen to have created real discussion, but the majority of the posts are noise.

Bots are not “solving that problem” because the lack of posts was never really the problem in the first place. The problem was lack of anything to engage with. Bot posts do nothing for engagement. Replying to their posts is just talking into the wind.
We to want to have conversations with real people; to know that when we insult the poster’s mother that we’re causing real, lasting harm to a flesh and blood person.

I came here to ask the same question
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 2 weeks ago:
They won’t even let you stand outside a polling place and hand out water bottles to people waiting in line.
- Comment on That's the worst possible view for a hotel 2 weeks ago:
That’s pretty bad, but if you think it’s the “worst possible”, you lack imagination.
- Comment on The town and HOA only have two settings for a holiday: Jesus and Troops. I guess Labor days is a "Troops" holiday. 2 weeks ago:
It’s all great until a couple of crazy little Hitlers move in and take over.
- Comment on After a year of struggling and losing my job to AI, my game finally made it to 4000 wishlists! This is how it feels: 2 weeks ago:
Sounds very cool. I’m just hoping the title isn’t giving away what could otherwise be a very clever potential plot twist.

The number must go up at any cost.
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 3 weeks ago:
Is there anyone reading this that doesn’t?
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 3 weeks ago:
Be angry at the right things then. This person’s post is basically being angry that someone agreed with them but used slightly different words to do it.
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 3 weeks ago:
I do not have a problem with the “60%” wording. It’s more accurate and in some cases, larger than “majority”. Complaining about that just feels like playing word games.
- Comment on Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection 3 weeks ago:
Aren’t they already legally required to get you the item you paid for without this anyway? Like if I don’t receive the item I paid for, through no fault of my own, that’s their problem to fix, isn’t it? Otherwise it’d be theft?
- Comment on Waiting and getting treated is better than waiting and going bankrupt 3 weeks ago:
It’s called triage. If you go in with a splinter you’re going to have to wait behind the guy that came in after you with a piece of rebar through his skull.
Lots of people don’t understand that it isnt a deli counter where you take a number and are called in order.
Many of these conservative “studies” compare wait times between Canadian booboos and American traumas without explicitly calling it out, and that’s not a fair comparison.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to calculate the calories in this bread machine recipe? 4 weeks ago:
Looks like a standard price of heavy paper, so I’d say about 9 calories. It’s going to be a pretty tough chew though.

That shower is larger than my entire bathroom
- Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 4 weeks ago:
That’s a “speed pillow”. There is a whole range of different types, bumps, humps, pillows, pads, etc that all have different applications and effects.
- Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 4 weeks ago:
Most speed bumps in the usa will fuck up your car, or at least give you a really bad day if you hit them at anything over 3mph. There are milder versions with names like “speed pillows” that let you go a little faster, but even those don’t let you go the full speed limit.
- Comment on Groceries are expensive and they're too busy talking about culture war 4 weeks ago:
If you don’t go in there and tell your story, they will make one up for you. They’ll still try to trip you up and mis-frame things you say, but at least you have a chance of reaching some people

The lack of understanding in this post astounding.
- Comment on How would I go about turning this into a power-generating wind turbine. 1 month ago:
Put it inside one of those giant wind tunnels.
- Comment on 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, an… 1 month ago:
And they are still paying for that insurance they can’t afford to use.
- Comment on Saw this at the store this morning, took a double take 1 month ago:
Yup. I got carded at Home Depot when buying a saw blade because “it could be used as a weapon”.

Damn right Pikachu! Now get back in to your ball and fight others of your species for my entertainment!

I broke up with my crazy ex. That was definitely freeing, and I don’t recall any violence.
