Karma has become meaningless “you need x amount of karma from comments in this sub to create a post in this sub.”

So what? Now account karma and account age doesn’t matter?

Now I have to go on active threads and start replying to comments like a Facebook mom to try to gain karma in that specific subreddit just so I can make a post?

This is basically asking for spam and meaningless comments that don’t contribute anything to the actual discussion.

I’m going into threads

“haha me too.”

“I totally feel you on that!”

Just to gain the minimum amount of karma to make an actual post.

This requirement in no way encourages better discussion, a better subreddit community, or anything, I’m just making fake ass comments now. Looking like a fucking bot account.

The only benefit I see from it is it boost posts and engagement but that helps Reddit make money so really it’s just helping “the man” line his pockets wi the gold sowing thread.

People who never shut up.

People who never shut up. Literally. Either talking unnecessarily or constantly making some kind of noise. Please. The silence is not awkward, I promise you. I don’t need to know your every thought. I don’t need you clear your throat or fake cough when you have nothing to say. Just because we exist in the same room, doesn’t mean I need you to speak to me- I actually prefer you to leave me alone. I also have my own thoughts, my own interests, my own situations I’m trying to come up with a resolution to, I can’t think for myself with you around, literally just leave me alone sometimes. Quiet is okay! Silence is okay!

Crush your elbow into my back for two hours

I truly hate the massage clients that want me to crush my elbow into their upper back for multiple hours. It is physically painful to do that. I literally could not care less if that helps you. I refuse to physically harm myself for your benefit. I make it very clear I refuse to do this and people will try to find loop holes around it. I've worked in customer service my entire life. I'm actually really good at thinking about how people will try to take advantage of me. Eight years dealing with Starbucks customers has taught me how entitled a lot of customers are.

No means no. The customer isn't always right. A lot of people need physical therapy but that would require them putting in effort instead of laying down and expecting someone else to fix them. I once had someone tell me her neck pain went away after physical therapy. She saud it came back after she stopped doing the exercises. She'd literally pay hundreds of dollars a month for massages that were less effective than 5 minutes worth of exercise a day. I'll truly never understand why so many people will do anything but exercise. They'll move heaven and earth before they exercise.

I'm so grateful I don't work at massage envy anymore because it was constant grueling, physically painful work for little pay. I would have worked myself into early retirement just to make $80k a year including tips. I refuse to end my career for people who refuse to actually help themselves

LMAO This person keeps insulting me then deleting the comment so that I can't reply.

I hate when people post their “woke” takes on reddit and act like they’re not supported

I saw a post whining about how when black women post their issues people invalidate them, but the post they were talking about literally had 1k likes lmao. Like how can you act like a victim this much. and I hate that these ”woke” people aren’t actually woke cause they don’t care about any minorities that aren’t black or mexican or indian.

On r/truths, I made a charlie kirk related complaint post on how the mods too down my post for "being a shitpost" they then proceeded to ban me for 338 days.

I posted in r/truths this post with an image of Charlie kirk, the title being "Charlie Kirk isn't dead" and the caption being "The footballer Charlie David Kirk is still alive as of August 2026 (Image unrelated)". this seemingly lie just being a distorted truth is a common practice in this subreddit, yet it got banned for "being a shitpost". Many similar posts have been kept up no problem.

I then proceeded to make this post, jokingly calling them out on this situation. The title was "The mods of r/truths hate fun" with an image of the post being removed and a short description with "also if there is a no shitposts rule then why is there a trollposts flair???". Then the mods proceeded to delete that post for "being false".

Finally, I proceeded to post this post, with the title "The r/truths mods are liars" with an image of the deleted post with the deletion notice there too. Finally, the mods proceeded to remove the post for this reason:

>Reason of Removal: Broke Rule 5. Post contained a sensitive topic. CK passed in 9/10/2025, it's been 338 days since. Therefore in honor of CK. We will grant OP a 338 days of silent vigil.

You could've atleast banned me for a better reason AND noted that before! Plus charlie kirk wasn't the best person anyways. Also, User u/spo0pti_yikes got banned for 338 days for much less, mainly just commenting on the situation. The mods also removed many other posts relating to the situation, including one complementing the mods! Sorry if this post is short, I just wanted to rant about this situation and the mods over-sensitivity.

I just received a bunch of personal attacks just for being a woman who thought a phalic object looked like a penis

God forbid if a woman EVER thinks about sex, am I right? We should be repressed in the kitchen according to some people around here. But I digress....

So I have this bullet shaped bookmark that kinda looks like a penis, right? So I went into the sub "theyknew" to have some fun with the situation. Maybe it was the wrong place, but I was really thinking that they knew, because that thing is phalic af.

Cut to a bunch of people taking their bullets way too seriously. WAY too seriously. No jokes about bullets allowed at all. Like, how dare you compare our sacred bullets to something so indecent as a penis? You slut.

I received so so so many personal attacks over this. I was called so many names. People accusing me of needing sex because I see penises everywhere. Of being a whore because I thought something phalic looked like a penis. Just rudeness everywhere and from everyone. People attacking me personally instead of the situation itself, like wtf???

If I were a guy posting something that looked like boobs or something, I would be the man!! But I'm a woman, and god forbid, I thought something resembled a penis, and now I'm either a huge whore or in desperate need of sex.

And this was all in lighthearted fun, and people were taking bullets way too seriously. It was actually scary. Like scary scary.

I don't know where I'm going with this, or why I'm letting my feelings be hurt by strangers online. But it's more the lack of compassion, the mysogyny, and the fact that humor is dead that worries me here.

It was supposed to just be some silly joke, and now I'm crying over having a vagina. Why are men sometimes?

Hot Take - Casual Dating Is Wrong

(M26) I'll probably get flak for this but...

Casual dating is inappropriate in general. I guarantee the first conflicting opinion will be "it's just a preference, if 2 people agree to keep the relationship non-exclusive then that's their choice" Well I disagree. Dating should always be exclusive because the purpose of a relationship is to be committed to your partner. If you're dating without the intention of looking for a long-term commitment, that's having friends with benefits, not a relationship.

I've only ever been with 1 woman in my adult life (long story short, she was cheating on me) and you could argue I don't have enough relationship experience, but I can say the majority of the people from my highschool got it right. Nearly all of them are happily married to their partners from back then. That's how it should be! Just look at posts from 8+ years ago where most people online actually agreed that when you agree to going on a date with someone, it meant that you would be loyal to that person from that point on, unless you both agreed to just part ways or stay in contact as non-intimate friends.

I don't mind if people have the mindset of "Well I'm just getting to know multiple people to figure out my options" that's perfectly fine, but don't DATE all those people. If you're going around being physically intimate with more than 1 person, then you're just gross.

Society is lust driven now. It seems like nobody actually cares about genuine connection, love, and respect anymore. I sound like I'm super religious or something, but I'm actually not at all. I just personally will not go on a date with someone unless I can see a future with them as a significant other, meaning, I need to be physically and emotionally attracted to that person.

There should be no in-between; either date to find commitment with 1 person at a time, or stay single. If you can't imagine or even want a future with someone, then stop dating because you likely haven't found anyone who you ACTUALLY would want to stay with long-term.

Just wanted to rant about this because I'm so tired of this "modern dating culture" I can't wait to go into boot camp a month from now; where I wont even have time to think about trying to find a partner (despite the fact that a committed relationship is basically all I've ever really wanted in life) because the dating culture is just disgusting at this point.

I'll try to respond to every comment when I can since this is something I'm very passionate about. I believe most people don't take relationships seriously anymore and it's just sad to see.

I fucking hate this

For context, I'm ally aroace. I was commenting on a video "if you're straight you get shot", saying that "Oh, do I get 50 percent damage or something?" And someone here was like "oh you aren't queer."

I am queer? It's just that I'm not gay or trans, I'm part of aroace community. Is this Aphobia or something? Because that guy here doesn't acknowledge that aroace people ARE queer.

Victims of being bullied should have every right to speak

As someone who went through bullying I stayed silent, scared of the consequences to speak up about how I feel and what I went through , scared of what others would think about my situation, I suffered and suffered until I got to a low point. I never got to speak up, but it’s never too late to speak up and that’s what I’m doing right now, I wanna speak up not only for myself but for everyone. Some students don’t know the small actions they do, the words that come out of their mouth can truly destroy and pierce someone’s peace. Kindness is free and everyone deserves that. Be open minded be self aware be careful with the words that come out of your mouth it might not seem as a big deal as the “speaker” but it’s a big deal for the “listener” so people please learn to be cautious of ur words. Bullying comes in so many factors from verbal to physical and both of them can truly affect someone’s life , no one knows how much it can impact when it gets to a point where they suffer and it reaches their mental health. Every time I hear someone getting bullied it’s like having a flashback what I went through and how much it hurt and it gets to a point that even though I don’t know that person I’ll truly stand up for them even as a stranger because no one deserves to go through that alone, id speak up for that person like im the one wearing the shoe, I’d put myself in that situation and I’d fight so hard just to earn that persons peace and that sums up what kind of person I am. I don’t care if it’s not my problem if someone’s suffering if someone’s is in need of help it is my problem. I know god damn well that not everyone has the guts to speak up, so if they can’t do it,do it for them‼️ the most powerful thing we can do is use our mouth because silence is never the answer to peace. Being quiet about how you feel isn’t peace, protecting their image so that you won’t be affected by them isn’t peace! If you don’t feel peace they don’t deserve to be at peace. They say “karma will get them” and it will truly get them but that doesn’t mean you should be silent about their behavior and how much it affected you.

I'm slowly losing my mind

I genuinely don’t understand what I was supposed to do differently. I'm so fed up man.

My whole life I was told to follow the traditional roadmap. Do well in school, go to college, get a degree, graduate, get a good job and everything will work itself out.

So I did exactly that.

Now I’m sitting here nearly $150,000 in debt, applying for job after job, and I can barely even get an interview.

I’ve rewritten my resume. I’ve applied to entry level positions. I’ve applied to jobs that pay way less than I thought I’d be earning after college. Half the time I don’t even get a rejection email. I just hear absolutely nothing.

Right now I’m driving Uber just to keep money coming in and pay my bills. There’s nothing wrong with working Uber, but this was never supposed to be the end goal. I went to college because I thought I was investing in a career.

I just want a normal, stable job. Something with a salary, benefits, progression and some kind of future. I’m not expecting to walk into a six figure job straight out of college.

But what was the point of spending years getting a degree and taking on $150k in debt if even “entry level” jobs want years of experience?

It genuinely feels like I followed the roadmap everyone told me to follow and somehow still ended up completely lost.

Is the job market really this bad right now, or am I doing something seriously wrong?

I hate the thought of going into a relationship right now

I just wanna start by saying that i got out of a relationship turned toxic last year in September and im still mentally recovering from everything that happened last year in my life. I haven’t thought about moving on to new relationship opportunities because im simply okay with being single and i LOVE being by myself, i take myself out on dates and treat myself. I did try dating apps but thats like…..where the worst things that happen, and this is part of my rant.
Reason 1:
I genuinely hate how men my age act nowadays, or any age actually, because of the mindsets that these “Redpill” podcasts twats (im british btw) ingrain into their mind that cheating is okay or that women are below you, It makes me furious. You got birthed out of a vagina and hate women??? Lay off it.
It adds to the male loneliness pandemic, and then they say “oh why does every girl reject/leave me?” Take a step back to mature a little, maybe look at how you treat women or any other gender for that matter. Ask yourself “why am i acting this way?”, when will you see that this mindset will get you NOWHERE in life. I had guys get so fucking mean to me after i reject them because of how they open up a chat on Hinge (ew i know) But seriously??? this is why you’re still on the app!!! You cant handle the rejection!!
But Seeing men actually listen to these so called “podcasts”makes me question humanity sometimes. this is just one reason why im not dating.

Reason 2:
The amount of posts i see on Tiktok or here on Reddit about somebody’s partners cheating on them, sickens me. The fact that they will ruin a perfectly normal relationship just to either connect with their ex or for their own selfishness, makes me ill. But worst is when they’re either expecting a baby, living together, married, have children and a house. Everything that you want to have in your life, and you cheat on them? Or you manipulate them? emotionally abuse? so many things you could do to ruin a perfectly good relationship. Just for your own gain or pleasure? then you have to deal with divorce, moving out, shared custody, bills and whatever. You go through all of that because you decided to cheat? GET MARRIAGE OR COUPLES COUNCILLORS, PUT IN THE WORK TO FIX IT! DONT GET LAZY! If you truly ever loved them, you would work on it right? you might say “it doesn’t always work that way” But cheating doesn’t fix it either does it?? or even emotionally cheating???

Reason 3:
I just get discouraged from seeking a relationship when i see all of whats happening right now socially. im pretty confident in rejecting someone if i simply don’t like their behaviour or opinions or how they speak about their exes. Im perfectly fine with doing that.
But also I know its not my relationship to get involved with, obviously its not my business. but when its a public shame post? I dont want to be in their shoes at all and i feel so bad that the other person who had this happen to them, had to go through that. I genuinely feel so guilty for them.

I rather wait until the right person comes to me then actively seek someone out. and if that never happens, then im okay with that. I just don’t want to be hurt again and get cheated on. I rather love myself first and get better. But seeing all of this stuff, makes the thought of dating seem so overwhelming and depressing to me.
if you have a good relationship, then im happy for you and i wish you the best.

This site fills me with such rage.

Fuck all of you, I've only really encountered a few people on this site that are even worthy to discuss whats occuring to me with.

the rest were all the type of NPCs to reply "GET HELP!" or "Seek Therapy." instead of having anything truly worthy to add.

Fuck Therapy so goddamn much, It really is just like a more officially recognized form of Scientology. Its a fucking cult that was specifically created just to convince people that they are wrong. It never worked for me.

Fuck Cops, Why would we be so incompetent as to let fucking heavily armed thugs in blue guard our own neighborhoods instead of ourselves?

Fuck abrahamic religions, If god existed why would he be dogmatic and hate a few of his own creations because they happened to not be "Perfect"?

Fuck the government, Why do we have to allow ourselves to be lead by old pedophiles when we should be leading ourselves?

Fuck Gun Control, Its fucking dumb how incompetent we are that we can't handle owning guns and expect mommy government to take them to prevent us from doing harm.

Fuck atheism, Why believe in nothing? There's too much proof to sugest there's something going on. (its just so far from what the abrahamists claim it is)

Fuck it all.

Board is kinda ruined

Nearly every post is job/career related. If you read the about description, there is quite a lot of other purposes for this forum. I am only guessing, but the last part of the about descriptions appears as if it was added later, in some sort of jest or defeat. Can another board not be made to keep this one alive and actually relevant to biotech and not just jobs in the field?
