r/geographymemes user u//Jfullr92 has created a fun map voting game wherein daily top comment deletes a US state with a new map unveiled each day. Other top commented whims, such as how to divide the lost territory or renaming states ala Megasota & Vermonster, have also been implemented.

User u//RoseRaving knew Colorado's end was near and decided to subvert Top Comment on map #44. They originally wrote "Sorry Colorado it's time to go" but changed it an hour before votes were tallied (with 1.7k+ votes making it top comment), to "Sorry Oregon it's time to go."

The edit was clear and all the related comments were about Colorado. However, there was enough confusion that the map creator didn't immediately catch on to the change and posted map #45 to erase Oregon (known as Cascadia).

After much outcry, downvotes, and obviously many geography meme posts, the content creator was clued in.

Some users argued that there were no rules in the game against strategically editing a top comment. The sub mods got involved, removing the edited comment from map #44. The creator of the map clarified, writing "If you gain thousands of upvotes because people believe something and then you change that, that’s cheating. It’s morally wrong. It’s an unwritten rule."

The original map #45 post was taken down, the creator posted an update about the situation and had to spend time editing the map for the updated map #45 post.

Although the cheater was named and banned from participating in the map game going forward, a user in the community was careful to caution against DMing the individual. Because, you know, bullying is bad. And this is a game meant for fun. So far, the worst the cheater has received is a Reddit Cares report. (And countless memes posted in the sub.)

The map creator called on the cheater to apologize, but so far all they've said is "Hail Blucifer".

THREAD: Down with the mayo monkeys I guess

CONTEXT: the mod team of /r/Comics was dealing with some sealioning about "Whites getting replaced" threads and posted this in which they called Whites "genetically recessive" and said that if Whites were to go extinct that would be a good thing.

A user in /r/whenthe thought this would be material for mocking in the subreddit but quickly found out it doesn't play out that way with Whites.

DRAMA

> What's... the context? What happened in comics? What did the mods do? > >> Edit: If a mod here sees this, just wanna day that whenever I think the moderation on this sub is lax , I look at literally any of the other popular subs and realize how "normal" this place is by comparison to the rest of Reddit. Yall doing good. > >><image> > >>> This isn’t about white people? It’s about the social classification….? > >>> Why did you unironically get offended by this lmao > >>>> Liberals will say they’re progressive but then become the savior defender of the white race when someone points out that white supremacy as a “culture” being gone is a good thing. It’s all support for the oppressed until you remind them that they also benefit from these systems of oppression.

> I completely agreed with them until: > >“So you know if “white” were to really go extinct. GOOD” > >His argument started as anti capitalist, the working class vs the 1 percent, then did a complete 180 into genocidal maniac territory. > >> They're talking about the replacement theory of white people being "bred out" of the gene pool due to increased racial mixing, which they're saying isn't a bad thing. Not killing all white people lmfaoooo > >>It's inaccurate to say that this would eliminate colorism - white supremacy permeates so much of our cultures and politics that it will still favor lighter skin barring a purge of racist relics and ideology, but they're in literally no way calling for the genocide of white people > >>edit: hi butthurt white people down voting an elaboration of a misconstrued point > >>> Their entire argument was on the basis that nazi’s are stupid because racemixing doesn’t equal extinction, and that concept extends to all races. (I personally agree with this idea) > >>>But that means when you say “white people should go extinct” you are saying all white people should die because racemixing doesn’t equal extinction. > >>>I can give the mod the benefit of the doubt that he didnt communicate his ideas properly, but the way his argument is worded, he is absolutely calling for a genocide lmao > >>>> But crucially he never talked about white people. He’s specifically talking about the concept of whiteness, that’s his whole comment. > >>>>> He talked a bit about how the criteria for what constitutes a white person has been manipulated over the years. > >>>>>But I don’t think you or the mod want to argue that white people is just a concept, and that white people do not actually exist > >>>>>> No one’s arguing that “white people” are a concept, he’s arguing that whiteness is. > >>>>>>Anecdotally, I’m welsh, who are seen as very white, but the concept of whiteness lumps us in with our historical oppressors and ensures that our history of suffering will remain silent. > >>>>>>Without whiteness, we wouldn’t be talking about “white people”, we’d say Europeans instead like we say Africans or Asians, or we’d just refer back to our own ethnicities. Instead “whiteness” makes a very easy to maintain over class within race, one that demands underclasses and creates division. > >>>>>>This also makes “white” the default in multicultural societies. When they say “Americans”, it’s often referring to “White”Americans, and then black Americans or Asian Americans are specified which signals that they’re not true Americans.

> Are we seriously conflating the mod wanting the destruction of “white” (the social construct) with wanting white people dead? Are we being dense on purpose? > >> No, this comment section is just filled with closet racists who don't even realize that they have "white" ingrained as an identity onto themselves. > >>> Is it not normal to have a part of your identity ingrained as a part of your identity? > >>>> Specifically “white” as a category is being criticized since it doesn’t have any real meaning beyond its use in us vs them narratives. An American, an Irishman, a Swede, a Russian, and a Jewish guy don’t have any shared culture or identity but they’re bound together with the label of “white”. It’s a holdover from colonialism and slavery where racist laws did make an artificial but meaningful distinction. > >>>>> Neither does "black" or "brown" or "Asian" have any real meaning. A black American shares nothing culturally with a black Kenyan.

> i got permabanned from comics for "defending nazis" because i said we can disagree with right wingers but we should still treat them like people and fellow americans with respect and decency > >mods did NOT like that lol > >> I have a question. Why should I treat someone who wants me gone, exterminated or replaced with respect? Or people who would treat my nephew like a disease with respect? I kind of want to understand that reasoning. > >>> Respect as a human being at least. You are not on the ontologically good side while they're on the ontologically evil side, talking about them like they're subhuman or not human at all is unproductive and wrong for the same reasons it's wrong if and when they do it. > >>>> Except they ARE on the ontologically evil side and they fucking want minorities exterminated so wanting them silenced and stopped by any means is literal self defense as a minority > >>>> imagine being this lukewarm damn fucking god

> Seems like an odd question to me - this entire post is complaining about mocking Nazis, directly. That’s what it is - OP is unhappy with a mod response which is just mocking American Nazis. > >Leave an insult on the ground and it’s very unlikely someone who isn’t an owner will pick it up. > >Seems a very odd priority to have to step into that to defend Nazis. Do Nazis need defending? Are their political opinions worthy of respect, in a civilised society? > >You can forgive people for thinking someone who chooses to do that may not be entirely intellectually and ideologically honest. > >> The post is about how in an attempt to mock Nazi's, that mod said insane, ironically racist bullshit. This whole "insult left on the ground" response is just a... I believe it's called Kafka Trap? It's fallacious, it's a deflection of criticism to paint anyone who opposes what you say as only doing so because they're in the wrong. Framing your statements as ontologically good and correct. Which I've already said is not productive, it's counterproductive even. > >>> You’ve ignored literally every point I’ve made just to repeat yourself; > >>>I didn’t actually paint myself as anything, as I’ve not actually made those comments, if we’re being pedantic and refusing to cede anything. > >>>What I said was you’d be objectively pretty stupid for giving grace to someone who affords you none. And I stand by it. > >>>Pretending like giving Nazis the benefit of the doubt isn’t a fools errand and also the reason America is objectively so fucked is a very odd moral high ground to try to claim. Because that is what you’re doing. > >>>> You're claiming I'm ignoring your points as you put the words in my mouth that I'm giving Nazi's the benefit of the doubt. Where the fuck am I saying that??? > >>>>And I was pretty sure I addressed your point but I'll do so more explicitly I guess: > >>>>> Seems a very odd priority to have to step into that to defend Nazis. Do Nazis need defending? Are their political opinions worthy of respect, in a civilised society? > >>>>I never did any of this so you saying it did not justify a response. I don't see how anyone else did either. > >>>>> You can forgive people for thinking someone who chooses to do that may not be entirely intellectually and ideologically honest. > >>>>Yea if someone defends Nazi's for the statements and claims of their ideology and politics and gives them the benefit of the doubt I understand why you might think they're not intellectually and ideologically honest, but nobody did that. > >>>>> Those statements are only true if you ignore the wider context of this discussion IE America’s current direction, the reason for the polarisation, the reason for the constant talk of Nazis. > >>>>>It doesn’t exist in a vacuum or only on the internet - it’s because fascism is making a resurgence. Actual Nazis are in your government. > >>>>>In that context, why would you give the benefit of the doubt to people who say things like “why are you so fervently against Nazis” or do things like complain about being called a nazi. > >>>>>Outside of that context it might seem a little odd, but I’d still question someone who was pro-Nazi in that scenario. > >>>>>Inside of that context? Seriously. How you can look at that and go “yeah what we need here is more tolerance for Nazis”? When it’s laid out it starts to look a little weird, no? > >>>>>> Where is any of this claim coming from??? > >>>>>>Okay let me step back. Maybe the above comment this thread is coming from is using language you believe is TOO forgiving of Nazi's. I can see that. > >>>>>>I do not see how you believe I or OP is claiming we need to be tolerant of Nazi's, or questioning why people are against Nazi's. I have said nothing of the sort, I have been extremely clear about what I'm conveying. The reason this post exists is because that mod who was "taunting Nazi's" said absurd and racist things to do so. All I'm saying is that it's not productive to act like Nazi's are not human, but you are free to view their political and ideological perspectives as invalid, unreasonable, not sound, cruel, biased, etc.

> It's interesting how frequently, like ridiculously frequently, you see people start an argument with "X isnt happening dont blow things out of proportion" and then as soon as they actually start trying to make their case they swap to "not only is X happening but here's why thats a good thing" > >> Bruh you believe in great replacement? > >>> Thats a brand new sentence, nothing i said even touched that > >>>> They were referring to that tho > >>>>> Yeah it does in the manner of calling out their method of arguing their point being very commonly used by weirdos online. Do I think some big conspiracy to replace white people is real? No. Am I terminally online enough to think people like that mod are normal? Also no

#Full Comments

Original post, for posterity:

>I'm sick and tired of wasting money on garbage fast food that you take one bite of and then throw out the rest because it's disgusting.

>I think what people should start doing is ordering food, removing a small piece of it whether that's by taking a bite or whatever, and then demanding a refund.

>This way the company not only loses its local stock but it also loses income. That way they no longer get to brag about how they're reporting record profits to their stockholders.

>EDIT: LOL so wild to see all these corporate bots in action so quickly trying to protect the garbage they sell! The only problem is they weren't very smart about it and they replied about 4.7 milliseconds after I posted this

>So corporate America got sold some crappy AI bots just like corporate America is selling Americans crappy food. LOL

>And no this is not about making the employee feel bad about the food at all it's saying that whatever corporate sends the stores each week is getting worse and worse to where I think they're putting rat poison in it

.

>Watch out boys, gotta real life Bubble Bass over here >>LOL all these fast food bots on standby to defend their fast food empires 10 seconds after I post this.

.

>So you want to torment and harass minimum wage employees? >>Lol how is asking for a refund torment or harassment? You can't live your life being a pushover like that. >>>You want to do it preemptively and get others to do it too, you are being intentionally malicious. >>>>What? Preemptively? And yes others should get a refund too after they've paid $15 for a hamburger that tastes like ass and probably is bioengineered.

.

>How often is that happening? >>50% >>>So... stop going? >>>>I think I'd rather see these fast food companies go out of business

>>>Maybe see a doctor. Unless the only fast food you go to is gas station convenience stores, that's a you problem >>>>Dude you're just a bot in need of a new update

.

>so your plan is to act like an average retiree? the workers already deal with this behavior constantly. >>BRB, headed to Chipotle to film the workers so they gave me 6 more pieces of chicken.

>>I never even really understood that by the way. Maybe I’m a light eater, but I can rarely finish an entire Chipotle bowl in one sitting. My friend in college was able to eat two Chipotle burritos back to back, but he also once ate an entire 12 oz bag of Doritos while he was tripping on mushrooms

>>>I wouldn't be surprised if you spend a lot of time on the toilet thinking about things like that

>>Has nothing to do with workers at all

>>>who do you think will take the brunt of this action?

>>>>The company of course! Why would the individual employee take responsibility? That's crazy man

.

>You’re a terrible person. I have been just saving money by just getting a sandwich and not a combo. Gas stations have upgraded their food quality and are the new cheap fast food. >>Lol I'm a terrible person for telling Americans to stop tolerating being ripped off? Gas station food is no better than fast food. >>>Stop liking things I don't like! You're all mistaken!

.

>As a former fast food worker, fuck you if you try that. >>Aw, so sorry you had to leave the field. Eager to go back are you? >>>Sorry all these comments seem to be upsetting you

.

>Why don’t you just stop eating it? >>Why did you respond five seconds after I posted this? And why does your comment already have 10 upvotes? Because you're a bot? Since you're a bot, let me explain how humans work: humans require food to eat, sometimes the only food nearby is fast food, which is often advertised as being excellent! Only problem is, when they sell garbage instead of actual edible food. Hope that's enough to get you started on how humans work and why fast food exists. >>>lol I’m not a bot. Im an attorney and I’m smarter than you.

.

>I think you should just learn to cook instead of trying to fuck other people over. >>If you're really interested in reality, these fast food restaurants should learn to cook instead of trying to fuck people over.

.

>Pack your lunch like normal people who actually care about their future? FF should be just a treat/special occasion when you've exhausted all resources for food on the go. >>Why do you monitor this channel and respond so quickly to protect corporate greed?

.

>Maybe don’t harass an employee making minimum wage. >>Who said I was harassing an employee? Get your head out of the gutter dude

.

>Here's a wild and radical idea I've been practicing for years: if I don't like a restaurant's food, I don't eat there. No rigamaroles with ordering and then demanding a refund. I just don't go there at all. They don't get my money, and I don't waste my time. >>Well isn't it awfully convenient that you're here defending fast food restaurants then huh, bot??????

.

>Why don’t you just ask them to remake it? And if you’re taking it to go or ordering it on an app, it is always going to be mediocre. >>Because most fast food companies have had years and years of practice to get it right. The problem is that the same companies have to report profit to their shareholders year after year after year. So they keep cheapening the product to the point where remaking it is just going to give you the same bad food. Like have you tried Wendy's chili lately?

.

>Trying to start a fast food revolt, eh? Better have a cool name for your rebellion. >>Trying to figure out why all these bots are defending fast food, really

Totally unfair 1st strike permaban and takedown of my almost 300k view post about my rescue kitty for “having a lot of nsfw” that isn’t visible on my profile. Goes to show if you do any form of sex work you are not welcome by the mods of r/cats

r/dontputyourdickinthat is a community where users post pictures of things that look inviting to a certain appendage but clearly are not meant for said appendage. Recently, someone posted a video demonstrating a "women's self defense sleeve" called Venus Guard which is essentially a plastic tube a woman can insert into her vagina. Then if a man forces himself on her, "barbs" inside the tube will "latch" on to the man's penis after the first penetration and it can only be removed by medical personnel. The product is still just a prototype and has not been released. Reactions and discussion topics in the comments varied widely

>Here’s another good anti-rape tool (Includes picture of man holding a gun)

>r/USdefaultism

>Well i mean danger close makes it more of a risk than a valuable tool sometimes

>Not all people here live in a country where you can buy guns like candy…^

>If you are so afraid of rape you would insert the forbidden fleshlight into your body to possibly prevent it, you might want to consider moving to a country that would allow you to own the weapons better suited to protecting yourself from rape. Or protest your government to allow you to own weapons. Or just ignore the people trying to prevent you from defending yourself and getting a gun anyways

>I feel ashamed of belonging to the sex that made this thing necessary...

>You need therapy.

>And you need to start taking women seriously.

>Thats why i always go for anal. Cool product tho

>This will just make the rape community focus on anal. 🤷‍♂️

>r/dontputthatinyourvagina

>Found the rapist

>So you just make posts to justify your username all day, sounds like?

>I said you were a rapist because you said not to put that in your vagina. That’s what a rapist would want. I didn’t think I needed to explain it but here we are. We want women protected

>This is insane. First of all, not that I need to explain it but I'm a gay man with 3 sisters. I would not want any of them putting this potentially toxic device inside of themselves risking infections etc.

>I'm sorry, but can't the rapists just see a clearly non-flesh looking artifact and investgate before procedure? And literally just chuck it away and continue on with whatever? I'm not defending anything but this is confusing me.

>You aren’t looking at their pussy when you are trying to force your dick in them. You worried that they will notice it during foreplay?

>If I can be honest about this device... I really don't see how it is meant to work. I would assume that a rapist woyld already be ready for some dirty fighting down there. And this just doesn't... work. Yeah, it catches on to the penis... and then, the guy just gets closer, and deeper, and begins doing smaller circles, using the device against you. I just don't see how a rapist will see this and be detered. If someine wants to crack without consent, they should know what they are expecting. Besides, don't most rapists have weapons? Surely, they would kill the user of it, for doing such things to their pathetic mound of meat, and maybe just go into another alley, and get a back alley treatment of just melting the sillicone a bit. TL;DR: Read a dark romance story a few too many times, and you see that nothing like this works.

>Dark romance fantasies are the farthest thing from the actual horror being discussed here. Your core premise is flawed: "I read a fantasy story, therefore the real world will conform to the imaginary story I read." You may as well give self-defense advice based on a Jackie Chan movie you saw once.

>What I mean to say is that I get out of those things is that the person who wants may understand what is to happen, and just... not care. You think gang members stop when they think about how their moms will cry at a funeral? If they stop, then they are sometimes listed as not real ones, and the ones who are Till-I-Dies, they wouldn't care. Sure, you can ignore the part about dark fantasy romance. But putting it this way makes sense to me that really... there is no way this can actually work work. Again, just melt the silicone a bit, and then everything else is easy. And again, some people don't want the full result. They just want to degrade and humiliate someone. Everything can be abused. Everything will be abused. That is what I wanted to say. But I guess the whole 'base your veiw of humanity's depravity on stories of fetishized trafficking' is what kills it, eh? Understandable, have a great day, I guess.

>Oh so the impractical part is that a woman has the potential to fake a rape. And not that she would have to walk around with this thing up her hooha for it to actually work as intended.

>Typical ridiculous Reddit comment. They were obviously not saying that’s the only issue. So why did you boil it down to such a stupid statement? But to deny that as a possibility is as ridiculous as saying it’d be easy to walk around with. I’ll grant you very few, but there are documented cases where “people” have made false, life ruining, claims against others. Surely you know this. Right?!?!?

>I do admit I have no frame of reference as to how having anything like that in your hoo-ha all day would feel. But I would think if you're in a situation where you feel the need to use one of those things, the discomfort of it being there would probably be outweighed by the assurance of the relative safety it might provide, no? Edit: I failed to account for the fact that women don't really have any prior warning that this could happen to them. I'm leaving the original up, dissregard my stupid take about discomfort lol.

>Make all rape and sexual assault illegal with a mandatory 25 year sentence followed by restitution.

>serious question.. if its proven fact that the person is a rapist, why not capital punishment? A rapist in the free-world is going to be a rapist behind bars, so sending them to prison is just feeding them more victims. and the expense of feeding them?

>The bleeding hearts would have arrowed down and reported the comment of you added in death.

>I think its awesome... though I envision at least a few rare instances of the girl you drunkenly hook up with from the bar forgetting. I've had that happen with tampons, so not beyond the realm of possibility... This would be so much worse.

>Solution: don’t have drunken hookups

On /r/kidsarefuckingstupid, OP posts a dash cam vid of himself driving down a dark street, coming across kids in front of the headlights and continues accelerating his truck. Both threads get locked due to outrage and OP getting aggressive when people question him on his decision.

https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/comments/1tfu9ii/know_what_would_be_so_funny_if_i_jumped_in_front/

Users proceed to call him out on his actions.

OP: and this, ladies and gentleman, is why you should have a dash cam.

OP: if you intentionally jump in front of a moving vehicle, especially at night, it would be unlikely (edit) the driver of the vehicle to be at fault.

Wtf is wrong with the driver, man?

OP: i dunno if it’s your first time on the internet, but it’s pretty common for criminals to use women and children to get people to stop

You're a POS.

Some do try to defend OP however. One comparing children to methheads.

Things get spicier when a user exposes OP for making an earlier failed post on a different subreddit, /r/idiotsincars, which was why OP had made this repost for sympathy.

https://www.reddit.com/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid/comments/1tfu9ii/know_what_would_be_so_funny_if_i_jumped_in_front/omcf7w3/

"Sit down", OP reacts aggressively.

OP: wanna get BIG MAD?

Then those who saw the original vid on the previously mentioned sub, /r/idiotsincars, point out that OP interestingly edited out a part where he ran a stop sign before approaching the kids.

https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/1tfrde8/oc_the_bunny_has_more_sense_than_the_stupid_child/

Both the original post and the repost are currently locked. Only time will tell if OP will make a third attempt.

The devs of the video game Phasmophobia have been promising players for half a decade a character customization update and a “horror 2.0” update.
During the years of waiting, there were very few and low effort updates, but the community was forgiving because the devs were presumably working hard on the 2 major updates they promised.

Well the character customization update finally came out after all these years. not only did it break the game into a laughably unplayable state, but it also looks like the update was something that was haphazardly slapped together in maybe a month?

The art lead of the game, CJ, panicked and gave out a statement along the lines of “it’s not my fault, i’m just the one that approves everything.” So he both threw his employees under the bus and admitted that he sucks at his own job.

More controversies are coming out like one of ex-discord moderators sharing nudes of fans.

HIGHLIGHTS

Irresponsible dog owners. That's why people don't like these dogs. It's not because they are bad dogs. It's because they have the capability to do great bodily injury in the wrong hands, and it's a 100 percent certainty that some of these dogs/owners will be bad. >Even if the owner is responsible, a pit bull is a beast to deal with and it can take down a grown man. Letting people like this have one is a ticking timebomb. >>So can a German Shepard, so can a great dane, hell, so can a motivated cat >>>How many people have had limbs ripped off by a motivated cat? >>>>Ripped off? Probably not many. Shredded apart and suffering from massive blood lose, MANY people, many many many people. >>>>>lol, please show me some statistics of how many cats have shredded apart limbs and caused massive blood loss. Yeah their bites can be nasty but aside from the risk of infection they don't do much damage.

Pits are fine, all dogs are, the problem is never the dog and is always 100% people >The problem is if a chihuahua goes mad it’s unlikely to kill someone >>On another note, we should ban chihuahuas as well. Fuck those little pieces of shit >>>we should ban idiots who think like you from breeding, don’t need those traits passed down >>>>What are you on about? Chihuahuas are also notoriously aggressive dogs that regularly attack people. Just because it cant kill you doesnt mean it cant do harm. Its only fair to treat them equally to an aggressive breed like pitbulls >>>>>Are you insane? How can you look at the damage a Pitbull can inflict on a human being and the damage a Chihuahua can inflict on a human being and go, "Yup, those are equal." And the two breeds are generally aggressive for different reasons. A Pitbull bites out of pure aggression and gameness. "I want to dominate you." A Chihuahua bites out of fear and annoyance. "Stay away from me." They are NOT the same. That'd be like equating nukes to bullets since both can harm you. >>>>>>I understand the nuance. But attacks are attacks in statistics. A toddler can still be gravely injured by an ankle biter Also i was specifically responding to the dickhead who overreacted to what was clearly a joke. Its not that deep. Fuck chihuahuas

This is why you should need a license to be a dog owner >Dangerous dogs like pitbull yes. Chihuahua maybe not >>The two dogs you chose in your comparison are a hilarious choice. While the Pitbull might do more damage, a Chihuahua is much more likely to bite people or attempt attacks. Absolute terrible breed, and it's only humans to blame for them acting like that.>>> >>>>I've never seen elderly people or people with small children cross the street because they see someone approaching with a Chihuahua Pitbulls shouldn't be legal to own >>>>>WTF? Do your research. The breed isn't the problem. It's the people. If we follow your logic, Golden Retrievers should be banned too. They could kill someone as well. >>>>>>But they don't - because they weren't bred to be attack dogs. >>>>>>>Hey you still haven't answered my question on why my experience as a dog handler has no relevance on this conversation. Please enlighten me why

I agree--that house should be blacklisted from deliveries, period. That dog is dangerous. >That dog should be put down >>For owners stupidity? >>>Because of his uncontrollable aggressive behavior. >>>>I seriously doubt that you can juge dog behaviour as uncontrollable by 15s clip in which owners screw up >>>>>Seeing as they were trying to control it and failing to do so; Yes. Yes we can >>>>>>Just because someone is bad at handling dogs doesn't mean that the dog deserves death >>>>>>>The dog doesn't "deserve" death in the same way that a wild, displaced bear rampaging through a city doesn't. But unfortunately, dangerous uncontrolled animals have to be controlled.

Zero bites. Grow some balls. >With this mentality , I hope you don't have a dog Stupid people should not have dogs >>Yeah sure, kill a dog that caused no injuries. Totally normal. >>>[deleted] >>>>"Look at how the dog acted." The behavior is unacceptable, no question about it. But the dog had several opportunities to bite and didn't. In Germany, the dog would be required to wear a leash and muzzle and would have to pass a behavior test (and train for it). >>>>>[deleted] >>>>>>"What if they don’t do that? The dog would be confiscated and/or the people fined.

Its always the same breed of dog. Very curious. Must be a whole lot of bad owners of they are just raised that way. Surely couldn't be just part of their dna to attack. >I think you'll find it's both, Fledgy. An inherently dangerous dog only becomes an actual threat when it's owned by a careless owner. A diligent and careful owner will prevent the dangerous dog from being a danger to others in the first place. The owner of course is always at risk, but that is the choice of the owner. >>Cezar milans pitbull killed queen latifahs dog btw He's only the most famous dog trainer on earth >>>The most famous? Yes. The best? Not even close. Don't use fame to judge a person's ability, or you'll be sorely disappointed in life. >>>>The point is this is a guy who has spent his whole career training dogs and even he can't be a good enough trainer for a pit bull to not kill another dog. >>>>>Not just training dogs, but being a huge advocate for pitbulls as family pets. He always made sure his personal dog in his shows was a pitbull to show how pitbulls can be well behaved and trained. He wasn’t the best trainer, but he has arguably dealt with more aggressive pitbulls than anyone, and he frequently took on “red zone” pitbull cases (extreme aggression) that were marked for euthanasia and no other trainer would touch. And after all that, his own “model pitbull” killed a smaller dog at his own facility. That says everything.

Listen I love dogs but if your dog runs towards me like that You will need a new dog. Sincerely a vegan >Never knew vegans were allowed to eat dogs >>So when somebody is attacking you, your first instinct is to eat them? That's pretty weird. Also, I'm allowed to eat anything. I just don't wanna shove a carcass in my face when there's so much else I could eat. >>>Dude it's a joke cuz of the way you wrote the comment, no one is attacking you for being vegan lmao >>>>Where in my comment did i talk about eating the dog or any other thing? >>>>>Saying “you’ll need a new dog” and then signing off with “Sincerely, a vegan” kinda implies You, the vegan, would off the dog. Adding the vegan detail makes it relevant that they don’t eat meat… but dogs are meat. So the joke ends up sounding like: off dog > eat meat. Hope that makes sense 😂 >>>>>>That's vegetarians m8 I don't harm animals in any kind of way. Veganism is not a diet but a way of life.

Pit bull the breed itself must be banned >All dogs behaviors are formed from genetics, early socialization, training, and the environment it lives in. So, maybe blame shit owners and not the dog. >>Blame them all you want this shit will not stop. Best to ban pitbulls, there is no reason for people to have them >>>I've had 3 and none of them behaved like this because we trained them, they lived in a good environment, and were socialized with other pets at a young age. Pitbulls have a reputation because horrible people breed them for dog fighting and abuse them leading them to be aggressive. >>>>Right, horrible people will continue to be shitty owners and therefore have these shitty dogs. Just ban them, there is 0 reason for people to have them. There are hundreds of other breeds to choose from >>>>>Pitbulls are just as dangerous as any other dog breed. They're not inherently dangerous they're only aggressive when raised to be and treated awfully just like any other dog would be. There's lots of people who think Rottweilers, German Shepherds, and Malinois are dangerous would you want to ban those breeds too. >>>>>>Heard of Golden retrievers (other dog breed)? You really comparing them with pit bulls. Damn!

Pitbulls. Awful dogs for awful people. >Nobody needs pitbulls. No one. They are a threat to humans and other dogs. It should be banned to breed them. The remaining ones will continue to cause trouble until they come to end of their natural lives. People saying this is not a breed issue but rather an owner issue are delusional. Do you remember what these dogs were bred for? Sure owners play their part too but these are naturally very aggressive dogs that can snap out of nowhere. >>I will say ive only encountered one pit bull in my life and she was the sweetest dote of a dog ive ever met, the biggest trouble I ever had with her is she knew after our first meeting that I was a complete sucker for pets and would be constantly trying to get on my lap. Yes, they are a breed not everyone should have, but not everyone should have children either yet we're not putting down people's feral kids. >>>Don’t worry, pitbulls will “put down” people’s kids for you. But thanks for your one time anecdote that absolves all pitbulls of their horrific violence. https://www.kbtx.com/2025/07/09/family-dog-kills-1-year-old-child-home-mother-injured-trying-prevent-attack/?outputType=amp >>>>Lol, thanks for the anecdote of a time when a pit bull was violent, shall I send you a link for every time a different breed of dog has done the same thing? Shall I start sending you pictures and videos of all the pitbulls in the world that HAVEN'T ever harmed someone? >>>>>Google this "dog attacks human/other dog". Tell me how many videos you'll have to watch before you find one thats not starring a Pit Bull, then come back here for a debate. >>>>>>What percent of pitbulls need to attack someone for them to be considered dangerous? >>>>>>>They are considered dangerous and banned in many places around the world, but for some reason this breed developed a huge fan base of lunatics that keeps denying it and prefer to live in delusion than to admit that this breed shouldn't be allowed as pets. Pit bulls aren't pets, they are extremely dangerous animals to owners, families of owners and everyone around them and if already alive, they should be handled by professionals while banned from breeding forward. There won't be any actual loss for humanity if this breed goes extinct as it's not useful at any tasks other than sending people to hospital or graveyard and reducing population of other animals that comes in contact with them.

Because it is Current Year, people have anthropomorphized dogs to an insane degree and most dangerous dog simps unironically believe that breed traits aren't a thing and you can train any and all bad behaviors out of any dog and they'll all become docile little angels as long as you're pure of heart and love them enough. >You absolutely can train any bad behavior out of any dog…..I’m assuming you have never trained a dog in your life? I’ve participated in training probably 25 dogs so far. It’s just that most dumbasses who get the more naturally aggressive dog breeds don’t train them whatsoever and just assume they will become those little angels you speak of. THATS the problem, not the dog. It’s the brainless owner. >>It's also the dog. Because it's always the usual breed. >>>lol no it isn’t. Correlation vs causation. Some dogs take more training than others but you can train bad behavior out of all fully functioning dogs >>>>You're an idiot. >>>>>Nope I’m literally right you dingus I’m guessing you have 0 experience training dogs? >>>>>>No. You're an idiot. You can train a fucking tiger, but it's not smart to allow anyone to fucking keep them as pets.

what did she say at the end there? >"Fucking You guys don't have me do shit around the house" she's pissed and doesn't want her kids bothering her the rest of the day "He's out" the dog is getting the boot >>I heard "Fucking you guys don't help me do shit around the house" and then another voice from inside says "yeah its your fault." And then she says "get the fuck out" before switching to "get in the house." I'm thinking she's got more than one teenage son, and it was maybe their responsibility to put the dog in another room, or hold on to it or something, while she got the delivery, and they didn't. And now she's getting smart mouthed by a bratty teenager after a frightening experience. Yes she is a bad dog owner, but I also feel bad for her if this is the case. >>>smart mouthed? bratty teenager? what 😭 >>>>Are these foreign words to you? I don't understand your confusion. >>>>>no, they’re just completely inaccurate descriptions. you sound like you simply hate children. >>>>>>If you think it's ok to not even step outside to help your mother in a very scary situation and then give her attitude when she's clearly shaken up, you sound like you simply hate your mother. >>>>>>>Did we watch the same video? the son came to help get the dog back. We know nothing of the situation they could be the worst kids ever or she could be very volitile. familys are complicated and i find it absurd people are so quick to judge

Crazy some people will defend the dog. Pit bull are extremely dangerous and should be put down. Make the owner pay all the expense. >if you ... YES YOU, bought a top tier high performance car, I would not feel safe .. You don't know what it takes to drive a high performance car. You don't have the slightest clue how to handle a car with that much power. that does not mean I shouldn't have a car like that. i've taken race high performance car driving courses. I've owned two high performance cars. American Pitbull Terriers and their mixes are no joke. These are high performance dogs. Not anyone should be able to own one. That does not mean not EVERYONE should own one. >>You guys need to stop acting like pitbull mixes are these legendary, untamable creatures. These people were idiots, they put that dog in a terrible situation by not properly training or socializing it, and by extension put everyone else in a terrible situation. >>>Yeah it's not like the news is full of stories of people who have worked in animal rescue/training and raised pit bulls from puppies, who were then attacked and/or killed by said dogs years later... how interesting that it seems to happen with one set of breeds more than any other.. >>>>Probably because a large portion of people who are owning that breed are idiots just like the people you see in the video it’s also probably because pitbull mixes are the most widely owned and bred dog in America. Let’s use our thinking brains. Reddit is usually a place where facts matter, but when it comes to pitbulls it’s the opposite. Those news stories and attacks are, what? Less than .01% of the breed population. Which means a majority of pitbulls…don’t attack.

HIGHLIGHTS

You might hate what he is doing but he didnt do anything illegal. that's the point. I have zero issue holding cops accountable, even if this is a slightly douchey way of doing it. >Slightly douchey? First amendment auditors are scumbags whose main goal is to antagonize not only police but private citizens and businesses. These people aren’t heros. >>Scumbag is FAR too kind of a word. Edit: Downvotes lacking a single retort… huge surprise from the “auditing” troglodytes. >>>I mean, what is there to retort? You expressed a fact-free opinion, others are expressing their opinion of that opinion. As both you and they are free to do. >>>>The only fact is there were no laws broken and it was a violation of the person's rights. Full stop.

All these auditors are just grifters. They don't care about exercising their rights they just want clicks for their videos. >(OP) All these cops are just tyrants. They don't care about protecting your rights (which they took a vow to protect) They just want to boost their numbers and move on to their next target. >>They want to "boost their numbers"? By showing up somewhere they are called to show up? To get a guy video taping people inside public property? Wow. >>>(OP) Dude did nothing illegal. He was arrested within 30 seconds and without any information collected by the police. Numerous constitutional rights were violated by the police. There was no investigation performed at all. >>>>He wasn't arrested in the video you share; he was detained. And just because something is not illegal doesn't mean it's a good idea to do it. Standing at a window filming people while they work is fucking crazy to me. >>>>>(OP) He was promptly arrested and posted another video from the Justice Center.

This YouTube grift sucks actually >"This YouTube grift sucks actually" What is the gift? >>Pulling up, recording people, police get called, bc thats fuckin** wierd. they dunno how to handle the situation, bc their only tools a hammer. Then the city get sued for breaching someones rights. >>>Im still struggling to understand what part is grifting and who he is grifting from. >>>>He is lookin for an excuse to sue the city for violating his constitutional rights. He technically isnt doing anything wrong, standing on a sidewalk with his phone out. So when the police detain/arrest him without any inclination of a crime being committed, the city, all of us will have to pay for this asshole from kansas city, which may i just add... sucks, to settle out in court. The grift i: Its for content, Taxpayer settlements. First admendment audits are lame, but the grift is almost over bc so many places have been sued. Usually they roll up to small municipalities in bfe bc thats an easy lick >>>>>"So when the police detain/arrest him without any inclination of a crime being committed, the city, all of us will have to pay for this asshole from kansas city, which may i just add... sucks, to settle out in court." So hes not doing anything illegal and hes not hiding his intentions. Yeah it sucks that the city cant follow the law so it ends up in lawsuits but again, thats not him grifting. He's not lying about what hes doing. If the police respect people's rights, nothing happens. I dont get how the guy just recording in public is the problem and not the police >>>>>>All local tax payers don't deserve a loss simply because some cop was a giant douche and infringed on someone's rights. That's the grift. There should absolutely be a deterrent for the police from doing this, but local taxpayers money isn't exactly fair IMO

[There's a fine line between auditor and just being an asshole looking for confrontation.

If you record and somebody calls the police, they're going to show up. If a polite "I'm just exercising my first amendment, thanks" results in being detained or some other police overreach... then sue away. But starting the conversation with a confrontational tone is just being an asshole. It's ragebait for confrontation, attention, and clicks. edit Also, while legal, recording everyday, non-public officials at work is just creepy. It's a legal but antisocial way to get a police response. I can simultaneously dislike both police overreach and the people instigating that overreach through antisocial behavior. edit again Since people are somehow construing this as me thinking it's OK for police to arrest people for being rude or for recording in public... I never said either of those things. I said I just dislike this particular auditor's methods. Something can be both legal and antisocial. Recording normal folks at work to instigate 911 calls, and then have tone of disbelief and anger when police show up to said 911 call, is antisocial. Never heard the "two wrongs don't make a right" idiom?](https://www.reddit.com/r/cincinnati/comments/1tc9v7u/arrested_exercising_rights_on_sidewalk_in/olmndg4/) >"People are allowed to be rude, especially to public employees" The fuck? >>"The fuck?" You think people should be arrested for being mean to police? Or politicians? >>>Critical thinking is not your strong suit, I see. You think that’s what I meant? Not that it’s preposterous to think it’s socially acceptable to be rude to someone just because they work for the city, state govt, etc? >>>>"Not that it’s preposterous to think it’s socially acceptable to be rude to someone just because they work for the city, state govt, etc?" My comment was specifically about a guy getting arrested for being rude. If you didnt intend to comment on that why did you reply to me? >>>>>1: he was detained, not arrested. You may want to familiarize yourself with these terms. 2: He wasn’t detained until he accosted the guy he suspected of calling the cops on him, which is the appropriate response because they stopped what could have been an assault. 3: I responded directly to something that you said. If you don’t like that, you shouldn’t have said it >>>>>>He was detained and then arrested, I believe. Since this clip doesn't show that part, I'd be curious to see what the bodycam footage shows if the information that he was arrested is true.

Police are allowed to handcuff people without arresting them if they have any reasonable suspicion. They don't need probable cause. The bar for handcuffing people while being detained is lower than the bar for arresting someone. Police can cuff groups of people who were fighting even if they weren't currently doing it and sit them down to interview them on the scene. >First they'd need RAS to initiate a terry stop. Then they'd need reasonable basis that their safety was at risk, and handcuffing the suspect would mitigate that risk. >>The Terry Stop is all but dead at this point. Death by a thousand cuts and all that. It’s very hard to get a court to invalidate an initial interaction. >>>It's not. This dude will get a settlement from the city in four years. It's likely how he makes his living. >>>>Yes it is. His settlement will be because of his arrest, not the detainment. All the city will have to do for the detainment is say they were deesclating when he went after the other guy. >>>>>No. Yourm need reasonable articulable suspicion a crime has been committed to initiate a terry stop. He didn't even get arrested; they specifically said they were detaining him because he "wasn't answering questions". This kind of shit might have worked before everyone filmed everything but not anymore. They came retroactively trump up ras anymore. >>>>>>Yes, the “Terry Stop” is the standard everyone knows and refers to. However, the standard has been continuously whittled down through the years, for example, traffic stops. No court is going to say that the police couldn’t detain this man when he started after the person that called the police. It’s that simple. Not to mention, he was filming a bank and asking about security. They’ll be able to provide enough for the initial detainment. I have no clue what he was actually arrested for, and if it what the video showed, that is quite bogus. But he won’t win challenging the initial detention.

What’s illegal about anything this person did? Why did they cuff his with in less than a minute of talking to him? Here we go again with cincy cops living up to their reputation. >He was video taping through the window of a private business. >>That is legal >>>Yes n no but if he was in there messing with them no.. Clean up your diets, get outside, live life properly. Like I tell the maga. Bad habits lead to carrying water for idiots while you neglect your own lives Edit >>>>Initial point of filming from outside through a window still stands. The rest of your comment has nothing to do with me so 🤷‍♂️ >>>>>Have an awesome day. Edit So if you had a ground level apartment downtown. Dude can look on your window saying " big mama big mama" over and over? Right. Like he was doing. >>>>>>I never said he can harass someone, it is legal to film through the open window though. >>>>>>>He stuck his camera in the window of a private business going "big mama big mama " repeatedly at a woman working there. It is in the video I posted of another frauditor reacting to it So heaven what he did before that. Cops were dicks but you don't drool in a window and stare at people. >>>>>>>>Just because you feel uncomfortable with a behavior it does not immediately make that behavior illegal.

Regardless of whether you like this guy or not, its not OK that you can be put in handcuffs for not answering questions that you have no legal obligation to answer. Period. >I think he was put in cuffs to detain him because he started going toward the person that called the police. It’s bullshit if that is why he was arrested though. >>In Ohio you have a legal obligation to give cops your name, address, and date of birth if cops suspect you have committed or are about to commit a crime. What you described in combination with his reported suspicious behavior outside the bank is sufficient to meet the threshold for an arrest under the latter. Refer ORC 2921.29. >>>What crime are you going to commit by recording a bank from a public walk way..? Surely a bank robber wouldn’t do that, so let’s not even try it. That’s just unreasonable to assume. That’s the question I need answered, because if it’s not a reasonable and articulable suspicion of a crime it’s not going to hold at all.. >>>>You could be loitering outside the bank waiting for someone who is leaving the bank with a deposit bag. >>>>>Do you think it would be seen as reasonable to suspect that he is part of an ongoing bank robbery, in which they never entered the bank to check on? >>>>>>Police receive a call because someone is loitering outside their doors with a camera. Minutes later the guy is still there. Why would a cop assume that he’s a bank patron who is about to enter the bank. Use your common sense.

Was he arrested or just detained? >They didn't have legal reasoning for either. >>Eh, you can make a case that going toward the person who called the police is grounds for detainment. Not for an arrest though. >>>Going towards someone isn't against any law. >>>>If done in an aggressive / threatening manner, I believe it can be. >>>>>The subject would need to have a reasonable fear of imminent harm, which no one in this video did. They specifically cuffed him because "he wasn't answering questions" >>>>>>So, you just confirmed my comment, and contradicted the one I responded to. Thank you.

Historical context (real life): Jared Polis is famous for being the term-limited governor of Colorado and a Democrat. Prior to his career in politics he was a successful businessman, and has been described as libertarian-leaning.

Historical context (the internet): Jared Polis is also famous for posting on /r/neoliberal. Previously, he has been very popular on the sub (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). It really cannot be overstated how much of a "mascot" Polis has been for the sub. Back in 2023, users proudly proclaimed that it was their feedback that got Polis to support sanctuary cities.

Recent context (both): the first cracks started to show early during the second Trump administration.

Jared Polio (Strike 1): When the White House appointed RFK Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services, Polis tweeted, "I’m excited by the news that the President-Elect will appoint @RobertKennedyJr to @HHSGov. He helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA. I hope he leans into personal choice on vaccines rather than bans (which I think are terrible, just like mandates) but what I’m most optimistic about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health... He will face strong special interest opposition on these, but I look forward to partnering with him to truly make America healthy again and I hope that we can finally make progress on these important issues." to which RFK Jr. replied, "thank you Governor Polish," which since became an automod response. /r/neoliberal is many things, but pro-RFK Jr. is not one of them. In a thread titled simply, oh boy... users react very negatively to the tweet, with many pinging the governor's personal account and one user calling it "r/neoliberal's 911" (read the whole post, everyone's dying inside). One user got so frustrated, they went to /r/metaNL, the subreddit where users discuss moderation policies and appeal their bans (often thereby justifying them in the process), and requested the Polis flair be removed from the subreddit, to which response was mixed and a mod stickied a response stating simply "No."

Jared Pol-ICE (Strike 2): As a pro-immigration subreddit, /r/neoliberal is vehemently anti-ICE. Last year, an article highlighting a whistleblower report about Polis ordering lists of undocumented immigrants to be turned over to ICE made a splash (and not in a good way). The top comment reads, "Mods should ban Governor polis if this is true. I’m disappointed. [frowny face emoji]". The saga continued as a federal judge blocked Polis's move, leading one of the sub's moderators go wonder, "What the actual fuck is wrong with Jared Polis?". But Polis persisted, despite users making their feelings quite known (1, 2, 3). In the statements Polis posted to the subreddit (1, 2] about the ICE shootings in which agents killed two Americans in Minneapolis earlier this year, the users were just about as pissed at him as they are at ICE. A couple /r/metaNL threads popped up this time requesting Polis be banned from the subreddit (1, 2, both of which again with mixed response and no moderator reply on the first, but two in the second (1, 2).

Jan-red Pol-sixth (I tried, okay; Strike 3): Tina Peters is a little old lady who, to hear her tell the tale, did nothing wrong and was simply trying to get to the bottom of what really happened in the 2020 election. According to the FBI, she gave unauthorized access to voting machines to a QAnon conspiracist, who stored and copied data from the machines which was then publicized on the internet. Following this, she was sentenced to 9 years in prison for the security breach, attempting to overturn the election, and her insistence that she did nothing wrong. How does Jared Polis fit into this? Well, Tina Peters received a federal pardon from Trump, but she was convicted in a Colorado state court and sentenced to state prison, where Trump has no authority... but Jared does. In early January, a user posted an interview in which Polis said he the sentence was "harsh," to which the top response is "I'm gonna become the joker". At some point, the automod response is changed to, "damn you, Governor Polish." In March, Polis once again teased clemency for Peters and users are once again, pissed off and demand he be banned. On metaNL, one user wonders if the mods would even ban Trump from posting in the sub.

On Friday afternoon/evening, Polis commutted Peters's sentence and /r/neoliberal is mad.

> This place used to be his biggest fan club

> Recall or impeach him

> It’s time to ban Jared Polis from this sub

> How can he possibly explain this?

> Gotta get those brownie points from a senile pedophile while his popularity sinks closer to the Nixon line.

Users also head to /r/metaNL, suggesting that subverting democracy be disallowed, informing the moderators of their payscale, and, once again, requesting Polis be banned. This last thread has accumulated enough upvotes in the last ~20 hours to land it in the top 3 upvoted metaNL posts in the last year.

> If the mods will ban users for comments outside the sub but not for this then theyre the biggest load of fucking losers ive ever seen. Grow a fucking pair.

> I truly believe Polis being associated with the subreddit does stain the collective reputation of us all at this point. Every time I see him come up anywhere else I pre-cringe waiting for someone to bring up how he’s active on Reddit.

> Sorry it'll ruin your big chance to work for a governor or promote a podcast nobody actually listens to, have some principles god damn

> Mod response: Again, we will ban him when he breaks one of our rules (Fuck him though fr) (sitting at -19), to which another mod replies, "Please check slack"

The moderator slack is locked down as the rabble seeks to influence the mods vote on fate of the posting privileges of Governor Polis. Will the posters breach the modslack? Will Polis be banned? Or will we just repeat this cycle in another few months when Polis is in the new again?

subreddit background

/r/povertyfinance is a subreddit for users who are struggling to make ends meet to vent, ask for advice, or share small victories in their life. Sometimes threads turn toxic very quickly, as the community also seems to be very judgemental.

OP’s poverty post

OP shares that they’re planning on filing for bankruptcy:

> Filing for bankruptcy after I pay off these federal student loans. > > Just over $700 bucks left. Unfortunately, I've been unemployed for 7 months now and can't even get a minimum wage job. Savings are gone, cashed out my Roth IRA, and my credit card debt has ballooned to the point where I can't pay the minimum. Chapter 7 is my best bet if I want to keep home. Mortgage is only $385.00 with $57k balance. I feel such a fucking failure in life at 48. Was making $39.60 an hour to nothing. I've been applying to anyplace where my skills are transferable. Fuck this economy!!

the downvote comment war

Telling OP to keep their head up:

> Not a failure. Life happens. One year from now you’ll be in a much better place.

> or, you know.... not [massively downvoted]

> Not helpful.

> it's not helpful to write "you'll be in a much better place" either. You gotta be realistic. Okay, he lost his job? That sucks, but still, gotta keep applying. The debts are eating himWell, he already mentioned - he's filing for bankruptcy. That's a step forward. Mortgage is only $385.00/month? That's actually pretty amazing - he has a roof over his head. > > Reminding him that job market sucks right now and it's totally understandable that he can't find a job and nobody blames him for it is much more helpful in my own. Maybe, ask him what his skills are, coming up with more ideas where he can apply them.., > > Just writing "you'll be in a much better place" is just a useless dreamy thinking that doesn't help. [downvoted again]

> It’s called positivity and trying to lift people up. You should try it sometime, dickhead.

> it's useless... It doesn't provide anything meaningful to the conversation [downvoted]

> Are you a sociopath? Have you never been kind to anyone? Of course it adds to the conversation..

> That's the thing... I don't find it "being kind" towards him. It's actually cruel in my eyes... It's basically saying "your current problems exist, in the future you will be much better"... There's like a missing piece here somewhere, don't you think? Instead, it's better to say ""you current problems exist, and it's hard, but working, making plans, actions, and in the future you will be much better"... > > Honestly, right now we are just meaninglessly babbling. I believe I already gave my point of view, no need in continuing this conversation.

> These people are talking out of their ass on some privileged bullshit, and somehow think they're "kind" while being completely patronizing and dismissive towards OP. They don't give a shit what OP is actually going through and how to actually be helpful, instead thinking saying some generic feel-good bullshit makes them good people. lt's like telling a homeless person "don't worry! It's not so bad, in a year you'll be fine and no longer homeless"

OP is a piece of shit:

> Why are you people encouraging this piece of shit? > > Not working for 7 months to rack up credit card debt to then try and declare bankruptcy is literally credit card fraud > > This guy should be going to jail. > > 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ [downvoted to hell]

> What do you think bankruptcy is for exactly?

> Not for racking up credit card debt while you don't work [massively downvoted]

> is that "work" in the same country with us right now?

> My local supermarket is always hiring cart pushers. > > If you don't work for 7 months to just declare bankruptcy you are literally committing credit card fraud. > > You are a stealing piece of shit and you should go to jail. > > But you're all probably Democrat criminals stealing welfare or whatever you're doing🙄🙄 [downvoted]

> Ah yes, the local super market with 200 cart pushers working the lot. Lmao

> Do you hear yourself? > > Do you honestly think that's true? > > There are help wanted signs at every single store I go to > > Target, Kroger, fast food, gyms, car dealerships. > > EVERYONE is hiring and this piece of shit sits for 7 months? > > You're lazy losers. It's that simple

> Weird, the most recent job report clearly showed job growth is being driven by healthcare while everything else is stagnant, but let’s go with “what I see.” > > So just answer the question that you’ve been dodging, what do you bankruptcy is for then?

Arguing back to the downvoted user:

> What do you want them to do, fucking starve?

> Don't live on credit cards and the just expect to get bailed on by bankruptcy?? > > Are you fucking insane? [downvoted]

> I'm going to restate the question, if they need money to get food, and have been unable to get a job despite applying, what the fuck do you want them to do, STARVE!?

> Your point is invalid. The only reason people are "unable" to get a job is because they are too fucking picky with the jobs that are offered. You can't just apply and expect $500,000 a year. You must start somewhere small and grow. It's been like that for thousands of years. Stop being unrealistic. If he wanted to get a job he would have 7 months ago. He's lazy. End of story. [downvoted]

> Oh man, it must be so nice to completely ignore OPs post to make your own invalid argument not based in reality.

> Must be nice supporting a struggling persons delusions instead of helping them. Congrats! You're apart of their misery! If you or they can't handle hard truths, you both need counseling. [more downvotes]

> I love that your terrible solution to valid concerns is "you need counseling." Should they charge that to their card too? What a pathetic thing to say.

> Might as well! They've been charging everything else to their card with no job for 7 months!

Singular takes

> Lmao hes doing it and is getting away with it (since its perfectly legal). Theres nothing you can do about it LOL. Personally I wish he can rack it up even more before declaring. Work smart not hard ;)

> Sorry I think you dropped this. 🧠

> Oh hey fellow time traveler, thanks for writing us from 1979. Here is 2026 and unfortunately the future ahead of you isn't bright. See, in our present you can have a job and still be in poverty. It's just how modern capitalism works, but you wouldn't understand.

> Can you quote OP to where he intentionally racked up debt? Let’s also ignore the fact that OP implied they have been looking for jobs while liquidating any cash even at the expense of tax penalties. One of the many Reddit retards I see.

> So is it better to tell the person he's a piece of shit of a failure and life won't get better and it's better to just end it?

Reminder not to comment in the OP!

Full thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeInAbyss/comments/1tb6vbp/project_remia_contentsafe_manga_fan_edit_volumes/

Fans announce remake that removes explicit child content but doesnt remove the gore and body horror:

>We’ve been working on a fan edit of the Made in Abyss manga aimed at people who want to read the story but are uncomfortable with some of the sexual content involving minors.

We have a team of skilled artists helping us keep edits subtle and as seamless with the original art and story as possible. This includes careful redraws and small text adjustments where needed. Nothing plot-relevant is changed (in our opinion). Please note, this edit does not remove gore or violence.

We really, really love this series, and this project has been our way of making it more accessible. Please keep in mind that this edit is not meant to replace the original manga. It is intended for mature audiences only (17+), and we encourage everyone to support the official release. We understand this kind of fan edit isn’t for everyone.

Fans did not like that, and Mod had to justify leaving it up despite anti piracy rules

>Beyond the fact that it’s disrespectful to the original source material, it’s also just piracy. They state in the post that the project isn’t intended as a “replacement” for the source material, but that’s quite literally exactly what it is.
It’s specifically an alternative to the original manga, and will pull away readers who would’ve otherwise chosen to push through the source material. I’m not a big anti-piracy guy personally, but having both of those factors present at the same time definitely crosses a line for me.
I do respect the amount effort and time put into this project, at least to an extent, but it’s still very misguided imo. Also, even if this post doesn’t include any direct links, it still seems a little weird to keep it up when the subreddit has an explicit no piracy rule.

>Not only supporting censorship and piracy but also the disrespect to the author is insane. You call yourself fans and spit on it and try making it something it is not

OkBuddyCinephile, a subreddit made to satirize the “cinema” community, feels very split on the recent casting for Helen in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey”.  

A user rails against race-swapping: https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycinephile/comments/1t9nnre/comment/ol3ikjp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

A user claims that the reaction to the casting is ridiculous; several people disagree: https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddycinephile/comments/1t9nnre/comment/ol3rdeu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Edit: much more drama throughout the thread as a whole

A user in r/196 makes a post discussing their experiences with transphobia from Koreans in both Korea and Los Angeles, and mentions that despite their negative experiences it's wrong to say all koreans are transphobic. They then go on to say that the same standard should be applied to christians.

>Because even though anecdotally, statistically, and historically the majority of koreans have been transphobic, my belief that Koreans as a whole are innately transphobic is irrational.

>So. Why is it okay when it is religion? Saying that is as reductive as saying all men or all koreans are transphobic, or at least heavily predisposed to transphobia due to some inherent aspect.
