My favorite part of reddit is the news stories about women who get charged with making false rape accusations ALWAYS make it to the top of r/all even if they are fake stories

Really paints a nice picture of a reddit user

What's interesting about this image is the way the shadows are formed from the figures and (most prominently) the chair - that tells that that light is the only light-source in the room.

Not only does this give a feeling of loneliness to the whole picture, but it also means that there are probably no windows in that room. Either that or they are covered/it's night-time.

Also I just noticed he has a collection of cameras on his shelf, so that means he must know a thing or two about composing a picture. Did he really mean to aim for this kind of shot of loneliness on purpose?

The collection of cameras only indicates that he knows a thing or two about collecting cameras. All the other junk in the photo indicates he knows how to consume. Very unlikely he knows how to use those cameras.

/r/RaisedByNarcissists helped me see my parents for what they are, flawed human beings that I expected too much from when I was a kid. The subreddit helped me with some coping mechanisms like setting up boundaries and self help talk and led me to therapy which helped even more.

The thing about that subreddit is you need to stop going to it if you want to leave that stuff behind. It's like picking at an old wound, it'll only heal if you move on. Some people make it their identity that they were raised by narcissists and then they become the people they hate.

The users of my city's subreddit are all shits

Lot's of native americans deserve to be poo poo on posters, people complaining about liberals for some reason, people complaining about how a transphobic radio host got kicked off his show

It's also weirdly cliquey with in jokes and memes

The city police department has an official account on it too and he always jumps in to defend whatever the police are doing or giving unsolicited advice on things while being condescending

Redditors live in a hell dimension that they need to carry knives and guns around with them all the time

Man just work out and you'll never have to carry a knife or a gun. Someone tries to jump you? Just out run them. What are they going to do?

This actually happened to me, some guy tried to rob me so I just started walking faster and he called me a pussy for running away like it was going to get me to stop and be robbed lol

I think Reddit is just a place to train bots

Go on r/all and look at one of the top post's comments and you'll always get the same canned responses

If it's a heartwarming post: "I'm not crying, your crying"

If it's a negative post: "I'm gonna get downvoted for this but..." + "Here come the downvotes" + "Of course the liberal/conservative majority REDDIT downvotes me!" + "This only proves I'm right"

If it's a positive post: "Take my upboat"

If it's a generic post: "Thought this might fit here"

People don't write that stuff because they think that they are making a great post, they do it because that's what gets you upvotes. Reddit has gamified white noise posting, and the system teaches people to post nothing but the blandest poo poo and the most boring catchphrases over and over again.

Yeah, which is why I believe it's to train bots

You can tell Sam Harris is a grift because he's all about Enlightenment and oneness until someone says the word Islam. Then he gets murder in his eyes and forgets that "we are all one" and that there is now an "other" than conveniently is so evil that you can condemn their entire group.

I used to listen to his podcast after reading his book "Waking Up", which was about meditation, spirituality, psychedelics, baby's first intro to eastern religion, all that fun stuff. The tonal whiplash I got from skipping from Podcast #1 to Podcast #21312 where he's talking about preemptively nuking an entire religion is just insane. Like the dude did not understand all the stuff he was "teaching" in his book about waking up and realizing we shouldn't be fighting others because we perceive them as different. He truly believes there is an islamic boogieman coming for him.

I guarantee he was watching the metrics of viewers and when he mentioned bombing Islamic people the view count went through the roof and the money started coming in faster. Same thing with Peterson. Once they get a taste of greed, all the rhetoric they claimed to follow gets thrown out.

TIL I’ll need to tread on eggshells when making small talk in public. Maybe I should meekly stare at my cell phone and avoid all eye contact when waiting in lines instead.

It’s the kind of thing I’d ask a male who pulled out 2 laptops in line too fwiw

Maybe just learn to make small talk?

Like as indicated in her post the guy was talking down to her as he asked. "Heh, why would you need two laptops? Answer me!"

There's a difference when you can use a different tone when asking the same question. "Wow, why would you need two laptops!"

I do actually love clicking the profile of some redditor who seems like a dick and there's a big "moderator of: promalegames, conservativegamers, womenhavecootiesandscareme" right there to tell you all you need to know. The positive to letting anyone make a subreddit is it lets the aggressively stupid people tattoo their self-owns on themselves.

Someone tried to invalidate my argument because I follow r/trees so he just called me a stoner to try and stop the argument lol
