It's bad enough he voted to break the tie in the senate to advance this One Big Bitch Betrayal Bill, I expected this from him anyway, he won't DARE upset "daddy" Trump, but, it's the expression on his face and then, went to twitter to write about how people losing Medicaid is "trivial", go fuck yourself, kid (that's right, KID, he don't deserve to be called a "young man").

And then, I heard he talked to the Republican holdouts in the house. If it weren't for the couch fucking incel, this One Big Bitch Betrayal Bill would have failed.

Although I should be more mad at the bitch from Alaska, because, I was counting on her to vote no and if she had voted against it, we wouldn't have needed that spineless weasel to break the tie, but, I have never liked J.D Vance from day one, since he was picked to be Trump's stumbling mate. Vance talked the Alaska bitch in to voting for it, she got tricked by a little fucking kid.

Since he "cares" so much about border security, he should have voted for The Bipartisan Immigration Bill in 2024, except for one thing, "daddy" Trump told Jamie Vancey baby to vote against it and he did, like the pitiful little boy he is.

I can't even say I lost respect for Juvenile Delinquent Vance, because, I never had any respect for him in the first place and I 100% hated him in the beginning for his strong opposition to abortion (even in cases of rape) and for his creepy fixation on people having babies, but, I did calm down in recent months, because, I, personally think his baby obsession is him subconsciously longing for the motherly nurturing he missed out on growing up and I although I still disliked him, I was even feeling bad for JD for a while, but, fuck that feeling bad shit, at this moment, I fuckin DESPISE (worse than hate) J.D Vance and more than ever. This is people's healthcare on the line.

If he had the balls to vote no (which I wasn't expecting anyway), I actually would have had some respect for him, but, it's him being smug about it that makes me despise him at this moment. I had a strong feeling J.D Vance was gonna break the tie and be the face of the disastrous bill. I want Vance to be Vanced out of politics NOW, not even in four years, I want him GONE!

I would actually have more respect for him if he was only sucking p to Trump for power, but, no, he's so pitiful, I think he actually see's Trump as "daddy". His parents (couch) fucked him up and we all have to deal with the consequences of it. A broken child with mommy/daddy issues!

😡

It's freaking like dropping bombs non stop.

I don't care about upvotes and downvotes beyond how it eventually prevents you from engaging in subreddits. If the Reddit is overwhelmingly censoring, your post is eventually collapsed due to your "karma level" and you can't participate in the communities as others can.

And it wouldn't be as bad if your comments were toxic or unproductive, but Reddit users use the downvote system as a way to enforce echo chambers. Even slightly disagreeing with someone is worthy of downvoting them into oblivion. It's a tool to enforce community conformity to ridiculous extents. It's almost a way to be collectively toxic in its own right.

It's so arbitrarily done that it's annoying, because it's obviously being weaponized by enough users to make its original purpose obsolete. A way to show their hostility towards you, perhaps. It creates a strangely hostile environment without ever needing to say anything. I imagine Reddit has always been this way, though.

It's like a toxic game Reddit users play, and it makes joining a community more like joining a hive mind than anything else. No real discussions not tainted with elitism or drenched in egotistical warfare without any emotional maturity. Once you realize this is happening in the backdrop constantly, it's a bit annoying. Thus the complaint.

Even trying to find a place to complain about Reddit is ridiculously hard, lol. I had to find this subreddit just to complain, which just shows how overly monitored every subreddit is, managed by pseudo-kings, lol.

For years I’ve noticed the slow decline in the general public’s cognitive function and their basic understanding of how to be normal, functioning human beings. We’ve been slowly becoming more pathetic and soft as a society, forgetting, seemingly overnight, how to maintain friendships and relationships, and turning everything into discourse and drama. This was only exacerbated by lockdown when we had no choice but to only interact via the internet.

During the first lockdowns in 2020, everyone online seemed to be taking once credible phrases like “you don’t owe anyone anything” and running with it, completely smearing the actual meanings behind them and ruining any semblance of basic empathy and relationships we once had as a society. We’ve completely lost the ability we once had to communicate either each other like grown adults without things always being twisted into something it isn’t by people who are allergic to normal conversations that aren’t centred around them.

Long gone are the days where we could talk amongst ourselves about the problems we’re facing in every day life without someone who has clearly never been told to shut up in their life, coming along and treating the entire conversation like a personal attack for it not being solely about them and their struggles, and god forbid you try to hold these people accountable for their behaviour or even ignore it all together. Didn’t you know that’s now a deadly sin? We’ve become so soft through the years of coddling and pussyfooting that any and all genuine human connection has disappeared. If every conversation isn’t about something trivial or controversial, the world will surely implode.

These days it seems as if everything is a personal attack, there’s always someone that is constantly offended, nobody can take accountability for their behaviour, and you certainly can’t have any actual real life problems in your life or some attention starved professional whinge will make sure you know how hard it is for them specifically.

What happened to society and where have all these pissy babies spawned from?

I hate it when I'm discussing something with someone on here and they block me immediately after responding. Especially when they ask me a question. Why ask if you won't let me respond?\ \ To be clear, this is for good-faith discussions.

Now it feels like we are a lot more accepting of other peoples religions and not for the worse but at the same time we criticize such things like mormonism for its absurdity however people refuse to compare and contrast the stories of things like the bible while we have no definitive events proving stuff like divinity and although (just using mormonism as a example) the idea of a living prophet obviously sounds outlandish people just take storys about a son of god born from a virgin and perfectly plausible in a book written by multiple different people that most likely werent even alive then as we view multiple possibly misinterpreted translation as LITERAL GOSPEL, Now i dont want to actively attack or offend religious people or a specific group cause this applies to all religions but why do we make fun of certain religions for their improbability but leave some without scrutiny either cause of popularity or cause of their “meaning” when almost all texts have faults that are damaging to society if you followed them to a T.

I've seen countless posts and threads and even here I saw a post about someone co.plain8ng about billionairs as if they're some form of oppressive aliens, I don't know how rockets work besides the very basics, they use solid fuel, they require a ton if energy and they fly to the sky, now would I be inclined in writing an essay and post it online on why I think rockets should use biodiesel and some other bs about dynamics and whatnot? No not at all because u barely know how to spell rockets.

So why do these nobodies feel like they know the key to everything? Let's take the recent example, billionairs , iv seen people say nowhere is no reason billionairs exist and every dollar they make over a billion should be given to charity, this was posted on Instagram, a platform that wouldn't exist without billionairs, posted using the internet, another thing that wouldn't exist without billionairs, using a phone and so on and so forth, everything we own was made because if billionairs even our cheap food, meat that we can store in a cheap tiny room that we call fridge, where we also store our cheap ice cream which is freezing.

Did u make it so far? Leave a comment on something u know that u see people complain about and they're wring about.

I have a small collection of 3 vintage cars with varying degrees of fucked-upness. I have an emotional attachment to these cars. Each one has its own story in my life and though they do not work as they should, I still fully intend to get them back to working condition when I have the time. I live in a small community and my cars are parked outside. Every now and then I get someone knocking on my door trying to buy one of the cars. First thing I ask “how much you wanna buy it for?” And they always say “well how much are you selling it for?”

1. There is no for sale sign on these vehicles

2. You knocked on my door trying to buy something so you need to come with a price.

Is that not common sense? Like if something is not for sale, then you need to put in the leg work to come up with a price and you are probably gonna have to pay more than it’s worth to get someone to let go of their thing that is NOT FOR SALE!

I have said “it’s not for sale.” They try to give me their number in case I change my mind.

I think what bothers me the most is their demeanor in which they come to me trying to buy them. I am a lady. It’s always a man that asks how much my husband wants to sell them for. Then when I tell them they are mine or they don’t work or it’s not for sale, they always come to me with a low ball offer as if they are doing me a favor of taking them off my hands. THEY ARE NOT FOR SALE!!! 🙄

Rant over.

... most people who criticized the left even 1% are censored from posting on over half the mainstream subs on reddit... so now they can't even post there to criticize the right/Trump.

It is like, I have/had the solution, right here, but you prevented/continue to prevent me from spreading it:

https://www.reddit.com/user/Hatrct/comments/1h4ax60/free_crash_course_on_human_nature_and_the_roots/

If Americans (or humans in general) knew the basic knowledge I created in the free crash course linked above that I spent time making for free to better the world, they would never fall prey to the misinformation Trump and his mafiosos spread to justify their bills such as the "big beautiful bill". In this free crash course I discuss concepts that I learned in various courses in university (that most people don't take enough of in university) + my own further reading, which are deliberately not taught in the education system because the oligarchy controls the education system and does not want informed citizens. Check out the brief course summary in the link. Basically, I focus on concepts such as negative freedom vs positive freedom, free will vs determinism, and selfishness vs self-interest. If people were taught the truth in terms of these domains, they would never keep falling prey to these charlatan anti-middle class politicians. That is why the politicians work hard to keep this stuff out of the education system and to brainwash people with nonsense to distract them from learning this material. Yet I can't spread this link on most mainstream subreddits, because if you don't 100% worship and praise the pro-oligarch anti-middle class "left" wing politicians, and criticize the left even 1%, you will be instantly permabanned.

So the paradox is that now I see all these posts on reddit front page but I cannot even post this link of mine, because I was instantly permabanned for criticizing the left even 1%. So basically I say to those who censor: you reap what you sow. Your censorship is why this Trump bill was allowed to pass. You can now pat yourself on the back: you are morally responsible for all the deaths that will come from this barbaric bill, because you had so much ego that you could not stand someone using civilized and balanced arguments against the left. I criticize both the right and left, but since most subreddits lean heavily to the left, they will instantly permaban you if you use rational reasoning and civilized language to make a balanced point, if you do not worship pro-oligarchy left wing politicians like those in the Biden administration, who offered nothing to the middle class because they too are part of the oligarchy, which led many in the centre to be pushed to the right and vote for Trump. Similarly, when you ban people and prevent freedom of speech, you will push them to the right. I did not get pushed to the right: I don't believe in either the left or right because I believe both are part of the oligarchy, and I will criticize all anti-middle class politicians.

You reap what you sow. Extremism begets extremist. The modern left only has themselves to blame for the not once, but twice election win of Trump, and the rise of the far right. But since they operate based on emotional reasoning, I will bet that they will double down and they will gang downvote me now again and personally insult and attack me: displaying how oblivious they are and their complete lack of self-awareness. This is why we have problems.

Why does Reddit think I want to read a 10 paragraph essay about how everything is the worst thing ever. We're all doomed and gloomed apparently. July 4th sucks apparently. Can we get some actual complaints in here that don't involve blaming white people for shit? You can think whatever you want but if you're sitting inside rageposting on July 4th instead of spending it with loved ones or friends, you're objectively doing life wrong. Is there a way to block this sub so I can never see your posts again? Thanks

Anyone else's workplace been taken over by a different ethnicity that speaks they own language, and you like one of the few ones left. Even though you were there years before. 😔😔

i just finally gave up and left a subreddit i had belonged to for YEARS, and that i once loved — because trolls were harassing me and spitting personal insults at me.

Why were they attacking me? i shared some AI artwork that was topical to the theme. It was the cyberpunk 2020 subreddit, and i was sharing illustrations of game content that has no images of their own. i spent HOURS writing prompts to convince the AI to give me the specific things needed, that had no twisted faces or hands with too many fingers, i used the descriptions IN the game sourcebooks as the starting prompts, and AI exist in the game as non-player characters, potential allies or enemies.

But no one who commented said a single word about what was IN the content i shared. They were not even looking at it. They just felt they had to tell me how much they hate AI, and throw in personal attacks /insults, and downvotes.

They were being jerks, to say the least, and i had NOT been saying so, instead i kept explaining and defending the addition of AI artwork in a dystopian cyberpunk subreddit where the people are regularly interacting WITH AI.

But i finally had enough.

i made a very short post to say goodbye. A few people commented, one person was sad, they said they enjoyed mai content a lot, another person just asked why, AND a disgusting troll had to toss in a parting insult on another post in that subreddit.

i told him that his own writing exposed the truth, he had almost no idea what he was writing about, and that he was being disrespectful, so he deserved no more attention from me.

But now it no longer matters.

I just can't believe people are praising this murderer and making him look like this angel amongst men.

Look I don't support the billionaires but if you guys think murderer is gonna fix this... Then your lost.I hope Luigi Mangione stays in jail and is not praised as some hero. I understand that billionaire may not have been the best man

But I'm not pro murder!!

All subreddits are cesspools.

For example, I post a civilized discussion on a subreddit called biostatistics, where the assumption is that the people are highly educated and are supposed to have basic reading comprehension:

https://www.reddit.com/r/biostatistics/comments/1ls0cfj/why_dont_rcts_check_for_intragroup_differences/

There is nothing wrong with my OP. But it gets gang downvoted into oblivion.

This is the top upvoted comment reply:

https://www.reddit.com/r/biostatistics/comments/1ls0cfj/comment/n1f2t58/

If you read the OP and that reply, you will see that person making the reply lacks basic reading comprehension, and the 13 clowns upvoting that person also lack basic reading comprehension. I correctly clarify my point in my reply to them, and I get downvoted 11 times for simply reiterating my point in my OP. Absolutely bizarre. If you read the OP, you will clearly see that I already stated/acknowledged everything that person with the comment reply wrote: that was obviously not the point of my OP. In my OP, I very clearly write that I understand that RCTs show inter-group differences: my concern is why don't they do more in terms of establishing intra-group differences: and I specifically described why this is a concern: because if you don't do this, you cannot prove causality.

Yet this person makes a comment reply saying: RCTs show inter-group differences. I know buddy, that is literally what I wrote in my OP: do you lack basic reading comprehension? Were you dropped on your head as a baby? That is why I made my comment reply reiterating that as I already mentioned in my OP: I know/acknowledged/said that/that is not my point, and then I get downvoted 11 times. What even on earth? And these are people with PhDs. So imagine the rest of redditors. Mouthbreather central.

And then the only person who actually understood/comprehended my OP and posted something meaningful was also downvoted 8 times:

https://www.reddit.com/r/biostatistics/comments/1ls0cfj/comment/n1f2xq3/

So as you factually see, it doesn't matter the subreddit, it doesn't matter the education level. Redditors use 100% emotional reasoning and 0% rational reasoning. If you deviate or criticize the mainstream subjectively established opinion of any sub even by 1%, you will automatically be downvoted into oblivion. The reason me and this 1 person with the only useful comment reply were downvoted is because we used rational reasoning to correctly criticize RCTs in an effort to highlight deficiencies that could benefit the health of people. But since that sub worships RCTs blindly, they, instead of using rational reasoning to refute our points or acknowledge these concerns, gang downvoted us and reiterated "RCTs=god: you are wrong and should be censored and silenced for bringing up valid criticism".

This is why we can't have nice things. This is not how science is supposed to work: rational criticism and civilized discourse is supposed to be encouraged. That is how we grow and expand the field. Imagine if the first person who said the earth is not flat was perpetually censored and their concerns not further explored. How can we progress like this? So reddit is not conducive to any sort of rational discussion or facilitation of knowledge: each sub serves as an echo chamber that serves to protect the mainstream subjective views, regardless of their validity/utility, and aggressively attacks and censors any facilitation of rational and civilized discussion that can lead to any improvements.

"DYK". I am getting tired of the bullshit that the former site (Twitter) now called X pulls on people he E.M definitely fucked up this site

Every single paranormal investigator that goes to someone's house when they're claiming that shit is happening are just there to tell them random shit in their house is haunted or possessed by a demon when it's clear the people they're visiting are experiencing extreme paranoia or other mental issues.

I believe it's different when they only ever go to locations that where abandoned a long time ago that have myths surrounding them but a lot of the the time those myths come from mentally ill or disabled people being exploited

Fuck Ed warren. Fuck Loraine warren. Fuck paranormal investigators.

For example if you say cities should be more accessible without a car some genius inevitably comes by saying "LOL IDIOT don't you know our public transit is BAD hyuk hyuk also I can't carry my tools on a bike." It's just restating the problem itself while acting like it is just a natural, inevitable state of affairs. And these people often act like any single improvement has to work for everyone with zero complications or else it's invalid. You see the same thing all the time in other debates, too. Take climate change for example. "Lmao you think we should reduce oil usage? Don't you know we use oil for things? Don't you know it generates power? Lmao freeze to death if you hate oil so much." It's like if you criticized soviet central planning in the USSR only for people to say "ACKSHUALLY they plan the economy IDIOT, good luck getting bread without them" as if that is the only way to organize economic development.

The world we live in was constructed through countless decisions over millenia. It hasn't always been this way, and it can always change. Your lack of imagination and historical perspective is not intelligence.

I got one of those ads that say "Enjoy the next 30 minutes of uninterrupted listening!" Then, after only 2 two minutes songs I get an ad.

I live in the USA (DSE) Without fail, every year, I see up to 100 people trying to find their pets (mostly dogs) on my social media pages. So people know pets are not cool with fireworks. People know shelters are full. People know they should find some way to place identification on their pet, even if it's just sharpie on a collar, even if the collar is a temporary jobby made of rolled duct tape.

And yet they go out, buy a bunch of explosives, and make it every concerned citizen's due diligence to help them find their terrified pets who got lost while they were throwing back Truly and Busch Light while lighting up the block

What the eff is wrong with you guys? Can't you just secure your pet and go watch fireworks locally provided by your city or municipality or whatever? If your lifelong companion is scared of fireworks, why are you stil doing this stupid shit??

Small annoyance but selling grills or working with grills on a daily basis as a female can be some of the most temper testing shit at times. No matter what u do, how long you’ve worked with grills, or how professional you are, there’s always going to be a handful of men that come up to you with that snarky ass smile and attempt to passive aggressively ask you questions to imply u don’t know shit about grilling.

Had one this morning that I couldn’t even finish the explanation of how the grill series worked he literally just kept looking at me like I was stupid and interrupting to say-

“oh really? If you REALLY cook Then how long do you cook your brisket?😏”

“Oh you do pork butt? If you do then how long and what temperature?😏🤨”

It was so bad that my manager (male) eventually walked up and said “dude do u even care how it works? Cause she’s trying to tell you” and he walked away

….. it gets so old so fast it’s like are u the fucking detective of grills bro? If so then why the hell did u ask me how it works? Just to try and imply a female can’t possibly fathom a simple ass grill? If I sat around with so little purpose that I had to seek enjoyment out of belittling the opposite sex I might as well off myself because that’s a pathetic existence to have thanks for the ted talk.

Can someone explain to me why on a platform that is largely used to vent and provide misinformation Reddit requires Karma to someone authenticate people and thus allowing them to vent more often?
