The r/neckbeards forum is full of stories from women dealing with "nice guys" ranging from the pathetic to the gross to the outright horrifying.

I think it's just that they won't be using the name any more.

You apparently can't downvote yourself on reddit, but you can take away the default upvote. I like doing that if I remember because it makes fair for all the other losers who aren't as good at posting at me.

There are a million subreddits where you will be downvoted for posting anything slightly against the groupthink.

If you ever find yourself wanting 1000s less karma, got to r/conservatives and start talking about minorities in a positive light or how Obama was such a great president.

Apparently the reddit execs have been selling off a ton of their shares since the IPO.

I'm not a finance guy though so I don't know if it's enough to be a bad look.

No, a 'bad look' is the new site design.

Thankfully, there are extensions for Firefox and Chrome already which revert the changes by changing all links to https://new.reddit.com/

Technically, it;s a new new new look. It forces the mobile version on all users and fucks up a bunch of stuff, like scrolling back up inside a post and from inside subreddits themselves.

Nothing better than accidentally scrolling past something you think you might want to look at, only you can't now because you can't scroll up sometimes at random.

Also, opening images from a subreddit then closing the image also closes the sub. If you click on a post then press 'back' you no longer retain your place in the sub, you get sent back to the very start.

And that's just what I found in half an hour of scrolling before I installed an extension to stop it.

r/peoplefuckingdying is full of schadenfreude - do NOT confuse with r/peopledying
r/facepalm is full of people being idiots
r/damnthatsinteresting is full of cool photos

You can find a lot of great subs just by scrolling r/all. But be careful, since the start of the Ukraine war, there has been a huge uptick in gore and death videos. And it's only gotten worse since Israel went full lebensraum.

Saw one today of an Israeli guy getting out of his car to pull down a Palestinian flag someone had put on the side of the road in some knee high grass only it was linked to a hidden bomb under the ground. So, when he pulled the flag out of the ground :(. Not even in a war sub, just one of those ones that's a string of random letters and numbers so you have no idea of what you're about to see when the 5 second video autoplays.

Just found out about this earlier. Apparently r/worldnews wasn't moderated, or they weren't doing their job, and it got overrun with people spamming and posting nudes. So the members created r/anime_titties both as a 'gently caress you' to the mods and somewhere to serious post about world news.

If someone is getting dead roaches in their coffee maker, I don’t think the machine is the problem.

Back when Australia switched to non-disposable supermarket bags all the usual subjects lost their minds over it. There was a big thing for a while in the lovely conservative media about how bad the new bags were and they showed old people with their used bags full of rotting produce and even cockroaches, trying to say this was the fault of the supermarkets somehow.

Like, mate, they didn't come from the factory full of that crap. Maybe don't run a story when your 'innocent victims' are filth pigs wallowing in their own poo poo all the time.

Contacting people outside prison is a whole racket. Much like the rest of the prison system.

The prison system in the US is unbelievably bad.

I remember once a goon had a total meltdown after we told him you have to pay to be on parole and, if you can't make your payments, they put you back in prison. He just refused to believe it. Can't say I blame him.

In Florida, prisoners are charged $50 for every single day they're in prison. If they're released early they still have to pay $50 for the entirety of their original sentence. So, if you get released 10 years early for good behaviour, you must pay $50 a day for the next 10 years or they throw you back in jail.
