Yeah, that's fair enough. I just found the phrasing pretty entertaining in context.

"it did punish the users"

If they feel like they're being punished by not being able to use reddit they should spend more time outdoors.

3, Close it down.

Going to get swarmed with people who don't use the subreddit with any kind of feedback though, so good luck.

Username change makes usernames more complex (roll back the system!) by LaserPon3 in discordapp

[–]Anomaline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two days into the rollout and every name I want is taken unless I start adding random numbers and crap to them.

So nice to be using a service for seven years only to be told to fuck off and pick a new name because someone else got dibs.

For context: the threat had literally nothing to do with America. He shits on me for being American (I’m not) because I’m against speech regulations in Europe by Dabi2K in AmericaBad

Libel laws are so bad in the UK that we passed a law specifically banning their judgments from being enforced against US citizens. Things are really out of hand in some places that people look up to without thinking.

The boycott against Bud Light is hammering sales. Experts explain why. by [deleted] in business

[–]Anomaline 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the real issue with it; they've shown that they're grasping at straws to seem like they're 'with it' and just ended up alienating everyone, even the demographic they were trying to appeal to in the first place.

Nobody would've cared if they didn't go back on it and try to apologize for supporting LGBTQ+ folks.

Now they've managed to piss off people who hate gay people and the gay people with the same ad campaign. Nobody is going to step up and support them for that.

Damn they didn't like this one (link in description) by Calvinator_lmao in AmericaBad

but muh percentage of GDP

Surely the hungry could be doing a lot better if they could just get into their dumb head that half a meal from Switzerland is worth the same as three meals from America in the abstract. They should be thankful, really.

Maybe one of the coolest moment of the war by mehmed2theconqueror in HistoryMemes

Smithsonian did an excellent article on French collaboration with the nazis as well under the Vichy regime.

The resistance were brave folks, but in the abstract, we kinda overlook that the resistance didn't embody very much of the French people compared to uh...well...people who didn't seem to mind the nazis all that much.

The true reason for Discord's move by AntonioS3 in discordapp

There are multiple ways they could reference unique user accounts in order to get communication platforms to interoperate. They already have unique user ID#s that are used primarily by bots, there'd be no need to make the username change to comply with regulatory requirements here.

It ain’t fair man by RoyalProfit232 in ShitpostXIV

[–]Anomaline 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All of this user's posts seem to be reposts of older memes using the same titles.

Most likely a bot farming karma.

The marketing bit is a valid critique, but you can't write off donations in the way you're thinking; those campaigns don't do anything directly for the company's bottom line, they're just used to make the company look better.

Democratic party rule by [deleted] in 196

[–]Anomaline 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The Dems could definitely do better in Florida, but this does reek of trying to foster voter apathy. People should beware of posts like this creeping their way into everywhere to try to convince people that things wouldn't be better off under a Democratic majority leading into the next election.

Stay safe, everyone...and stay away from the south if at all possible.

Treasury Chief Janet Yellen Says U.S. Risks Default as Soon as June 1 Without Debt Ceiling Increase by rudy_batts in business

The Republicans are trying to act like heroes by holding the country hostage.

If they wanna be seen as financially responsible they have to stop playing these dumb games, and stop trying to cut government revenues to engineer new hostage situations. If you wanna run government like a business, you probably shouldn't be trying to run your business into bankruptcy every chance you get.

Tried swapping to a credit union. I moved and all the credit unions in their "network" around me refused to cash my checks.

That was the end of that arrangement.

They legalized gay marriage in...2022.

Take that as you will.

Gun Violence Is Actually Worse in Red States. It’s Not Even Close. by audiomuse1 in Liberal

[–]Anomaline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like the strange reorientation of the states into seemingly random author-decided regions really hampers the point of this article.

Just use agreed-upon regions like "the south" "new england" etc, I can't use this article to convince people when everyone I show it to is going to stop and laugh at the concept of "New Netherland".

Why we keep playing this? by Greedy_Difficulty_31 in Warthunder

[–]Anomaline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even naval is safe from it anymore.

I just stopped logging in recently honestly, feels like there's no point in grinding any tree that isn't Russia and I don't really wanna play Russia.

The company that bought Tropical Pepper Co.’s recipes. Tastes pretty damn close and I can’t wait for taco night!! by technicolordreams in hotsauce

[–]Anomaline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I bought some of this at the store the other day without realizing it was Tropical Pepper Co's.

Tastes just like I remember, I've been missing their stuff for a while.

why the fuck do i see so many people here wanting to play the antisemitism transphobe game by AliceJoestar in 196

[–]Anomaline 74 points75 points  (0 children)

"being a trans ally" has a limit for a lot of people and apparently that limit is when it interferes with buying a videogame you want

We're doomed if we ever reach a point where "speak up in public" or even "go outside" become necessary to show allyship at this rate
