I've always wondered what the overlap of the voting and the commenting part is on Imgur, you so often see terrible images that get called out by most comments on the frontpage

Yeah they like her except when imgur decided to ban nsfw in comments and they sent her death threats :thumbsup:

I think the reason I'm still visiting imgur (apart from occasional funny pictures) is morbid curiosity. Nearly every day you'll find outrageous poo poo on the front page (admittedly, often straight from reddit) and it's like a zoo of lovely people in there, so it has the same appeal as the PYF AUG thread just that you're instead watching them in their natural habitat

That and also boredom :v:

Though I've become much more fond of random imgur websites and usersub because ooh boy can you find treasurers of grossness and idiocy in there!

This seems to be the norm for Imgur nowadays. Racist poo poo gets a free ride to the front page, normal humans slam it in the comments for existing. Unless they can justify why those drat uppity blacks don't deserve respect or women are prudish whores!

Yup. I've always found it so interesting how there seem to be 2 different populations doing the voting and the commenting.

Imgur is just reddit lite so this is pretty apropriate, the two are so closely linked.

The best part of Pao being fired is shortly afterwards, one of Reddit's former CEOs posted explaining that Pao had been the main reasoning that a lot of Reddit's hyper-racist/sexist/hate subreddits were kept open under the excuse of "free speech". Since she was fired, most of them have now been closed.

Yesss, I was so happy when I learned that, it is the best.�

It wasn't the Tumblrcon trainwreck everyone hoped it would be. I'm guessing because Camp Imgur was organized and run by people who had their poo poo together, and it involved camping instead of a hotel.

Also they apparently knew they should treat their attendees like children and had some easy animations, no outside alcohol and sex separated sleeping.

I'm so disappointed. (Though some said there was some terrible wifi over there so you can still hope something will come outta it!)

good ol' imgur posted:

I got an application for an internship from a young woman. She expressed in her e-mail that it was urgent because the internship had to consist of at least 65 days of work before the end of november this year. Her résumé was incomplete and the e-mail was less than polite, but I decided to take her application through the standard procedure.

I'm not a cop, but I do work with the police and the district attorney so one of the steps in the procedure consists of checking the applicant for any sort of criminal record. Her name didn't yield any results, and since her résumé did not include a date of birth I couldn't complete that step. However, I have to justify why I use the registry, so I made a report about it and filed it with the appropriate person. The next step consists of an intake conversation, so I invited her to my office.

She was two hours late, making an excuse about how she lost track of time because she is a woman. I asked for her ID to get the necessary information for a thorough check of criminal record and noticed the name she had given me in her e-mail was not the same as the one on her ID. When I told her that we need the real name of our applicants for the procedure, she acted a little weird but allowed me to get the information.She did mention her Russian heritage, and that she preferred to go by her nickname rather than the admittedly long name her parents had given her.

The intake conversation wasn't very good, she had no idea what kind of an internship she was looking for nor did she show any interest in the projects I had written out for her. When I asked her the main reason she wanted to do an internship at my department, she simply replied with "It's close to home and I only applied here so you're my only option"

It didn't take long for me to realize she wasn't going to be an asset to the department, so I notified her that she didn't get the internship. Two days later I get a letter from internal supervision. The girl had filed a complaint.

Turns out asking for someone's real name is racist. That was the exact complaint she had filed. All I had to do to negate this complaint is refer to the standard procedure. The complaint was denied, wouldn't even get a mention in my personal record.

I admit that this woman was attractive to most standards, blonde hair, petite yet busty, and so on. But the intake conversation had focused primarily on motivation and skills such as writing, processing information, and she was at a level which I found insufficient for the internship. This complaint was more substanial and detailed, consisting of two full pages.

according to her, I had done the following:

- Asked her the size of her breasts (she added the actual size in the complaint, a 75E)
- Touched her breasts to feel if they are real (Which they are, according to the complaint)
- Pull down her top so she was exposed for the intirety of the intake
- Smelled her hair while stroking her shoulders (Because of her new vanilla extract shampoo, of course)
- Placed my bulge (from my penis, as explained in the complaint) on my desk, inviting her to touch it
- Ask her about how she feels about blowing me in my office right there and then
- Ask her name and any online alliases so I can google her nudes (which are a private matter!)
- Google her nudes while she was still present at my desk (while she was still exposed)

Mind you that I did all of this in a span of 15 minutes. Another note: my office has a glass wall facing the hallway, no blinds, and my office is next to the coffeemachine and the copier.

Because of the serious nature of the complaint, I had to face the board of internal supervision.

The board of internal supervision has to consist of four men and four women. They have to be unbiased and neutral so they are not from the same departement I am in. The full complaint is read aloud, afterwards the subject of the complaint (me) gets the chance to give his/her side of the story, after which the board evaluates if further investigation is
necessary. This board gives a recommandation for the case - could be dismissing the complaint, could be a suspension - and the head of departement goes from there. This whole procedure may seem absurd, but seen as I work for the governement, this is just the way it has been decided.

To [the men] it was obvious that this was another false complaint. Now given that they should evaluate the situation unbiased, they kept their reaction to a mere gesture or a rolling of the eyes and remained silent until the full complaint was read. After the complaint was read, I began my defence, but was shortly interupted because...

Two of [the women] literally started shouting at me, while the third kept chiming in with a sassy "mhmm" or "yeah!" They asked me (and answered for me) the following questions:
You are single right? A single 28 year old man must be obsessed with getting some
How tall are you? Tall men always assert dominance on women. It's a fact
What kind of porn do you watch? I bet this girl looks like your fantasy girl

Then the loudest of the three concluded with "TURNING DOWN THIS WOMAN FOR THE JOB IS SEXIST! YOU SHOULD GET FIRED!"

[the fourth woman] pointed out the facts of the circumstances in this conversation, namely

- The first complaint didn't mention anything sexual going on
- The 15 minutes the conversation lasted
- The glass wall without blinds
- The poor résumé of the woman involved
- IT department checked my google activity that day, no mention of any search for "nudes"
- The fact that all of this mess is over an unpaid internship
- The woman involved has a criminal record, two facts involving false complaints

The board decided to question the woman filing the complaint for more details

She admitted that she made the whole thing up. She was crying. Reptiles and onions, man. Crocodile tears. The board dismissed the complaint.

People usually bring up the hate subreddits when discussing why reddit sucks but most hate subs except r/theredpill and r/tumblrinaction are actually pretty small. The problem is the users of all the popular 8-million-subscriber subreddits like r/askreddit, r/worldnews or r/gaming are barely a step down from the hate sub users and will pretty much upvote the hell out of any pedophile, MRA, or nationalist posts they can find.

They still tolerate those sub reddits, or at least they did. That's my problem, not necessarily the amount of people on those subs.

Also shut up Naga this is of no use.

Man, I know that I find it impossible to tell if someone doesn't really want to have sex. If only people who wanted to have sex were enthusiastic about it and communicated their enjoyment about what was going on. But, as we all know, all sex is done in sullen silence with both partners never looking at each other and it is impossible to tell if your partner is into it.
