bros who like hippie newage bullshit i guess?

if it's anything like ladbible these kind of sites pivoted from 'blandly offensive' to 'blandly inoffensive' when they realised it's harder to grow your business when people keep writing articles about how your core fanbase's interests amount to 'screaming in the faces of homeless people' and 'touching up unconscious women'

reddit is a loving mystery to me, that site layout is maddening


i am 23 and as a depressed teenager spent a lot of time on lovely vbulletin forums. facebook and twitter are second nature. even loving tumblr is navigatable. reddit makes me feel like i have dementia

i presume you didn't even pay to become

since i actually detract from the forums on a whole, i'd probably have to pay a loaded premium to stay here. i'd pay a yearly amount.
