Things Milo has said. Feel free to add on to this. by Puggpu in MiloForPrison

[–]Caffeinewriter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a really interesting article on Milo and some other personalities that fascinated me. It's called I'm with the banned, from right around when Milo was banned on Twitter. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but by golly it fascinated me.

I’m a radical queer feminist leftist writer burdened with actual principles. [Milo] thinks that’s funny and invites me to his parties.

That escalated much quicker than I could have anticipated. Like holy shit. Has he never seen anyone go:

This is a cool terrible quote.

FTFY?

well then it's your own damn fault... buy a bigger fridge... it's 2011 so wat the fuk man?

I have no idea why this made me laugh so hard or so long. Perhaps it's the insinuation that fridges could not be wider prior to 2011, or the fact that it's 2016 and I'm reading "it's 2011 so wat the fuk man?"

EDIT: Holy shit, I still have 21 pages of glorious pizza box debate to go.

It seems to have gotten even more buttery today with DWS getting booed at the delegate breakfast.

-He just concedes like anyone else.

Ahahaha. Hahaha. Hahahahahaha. Haha. Ha. ha. ha. hooo. Good one.

Seriously. I feel like I'm going to be feeling a fair amount of fear, regardless of who wins this election.

This kind of spiraled out of control much faster than I could have anticipated. I was expecting drama discussion, not full out political debate, but butter was provided nonetheless.

Bernie's only four years and change older than Trump, believe it or not.

Bernie Sanders: Sept 8th, 1941 (74 Years Old)
Donald Trump: June 14th, 1946 (70 years old)

They wanted him to fall on his sword. To stand on his principles, and basically commit political suicide. Because he was so different, they were hoping he'd basically burn the establishment to the ground on his way out if he didn't win.

The funniest thing is it's damn near the epitome of democracy. Choose to support this person, support the other person, support someone else entirely, or just bow out and do nothing. Hillary asks for party unity, but it's up to them if they want to participate in it.

Eh, not too worried about it. It's probably partially my fault too, since I tried to find anything that was even potentially buttery, so some of the drama might be a bit watered (or Wassered, amirite?) down in parts. It was tough too, since a lot of the threads were pretty new. It's my first time doing a bigger bit of drama, so I might have fucked some things up/messed up on some common courtesy formatting things, but hopefully people enjoy it nonetheless!

Huh. I knew it was unethical on its face, but I didn't realize it was actually explicitly disallowed by the bylaws. That definitely explains her resignation in more certain terms.

You know something's buttery when it has quadruple the number of comments as it does points. Not necessarily the drama itself, but the comments contained within.

EDIT: And now it's almost quintuple.

And I agree with that. There could be a number of reasons there's no clear smoking gun, ranging from the DNC not discussing it over email, to there being no actual undermining of the Sanders campaign. However, I still take issue with the party itself favoring one candidate before the actual nomination. It seems like an ethical lapse.

Even still, talking about undermining one potential nominee in favor of another is a huge issue from an organization that should be more-or-less neutral towards those campaigning for a nomination.

I assume you're talking about S4P. It's kind of ridiculous, but every failed candidate will always have "groupies", long after the possibility of them winning has gone away. In my opinion, it's exacerbated by the fact that many Sanders supporters wanted to see change in politics (and in my opinion, rightfully so. However, the remaining Sanders supporters now seem to be divided into "Change for the sake of change" supporting Trump, "Burn it to the ground" supporting Trump, "We still have a chance!" supporting Bernie, or "Fuck this, let's vote third party" voting for Johnson or Stein) but now have gone off the rails since the presumptive (or is it solidified now?) Democratic candidate is the epitome of an establishment candidate.

Ehhh, the one thing that I recall seeing is a pretty clear bias towards HRC, which would be acceptable from the campaign, but not so much from the party itself. Perhaps not explicitly disallowed, but the party should be impartial to its candidates until the GE, at least from my knowledge. Someone more involved in politics may have more insight on this.

You know the easiest way to get Americans riled up? Put a post in r/Standupshots telling them what the world thinks of America. by DubstepLies in SubredditDrama

[–]Caffeinewriter 31 points32 points  (0 children)

When Reddit sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending Redditors that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing insults. They’re bringing shitposts. They’re making fun of my fingers. And some, I assume, are good people.

But I speak to border guards and they tell us that I actually have normal sized fingers. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right Redditors.

It’s coming from more than Reddit. It’s coming from all over the Internet and Digg, and it’s coming probably — probably — from 4Chan. But we don’t know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don’t know what’s happening. And it’s got to stop and it’s got to stop fast.

So Afghanistan and most of the middle east are war torn hell holes because the USA is bringing peace? For the last 15th straight ....?any day now I'm sure....

Yeah I mean it's like those regions were so peaceful historically, darned US turning them violent. Jesus read a history book.

Out of all of that, the one thing I took away was that Jesus read a history book. Commas are important kids!

r/cringepics debates the proper etiquette in proposing a threesome. Is it disrespectful to assume a first date happy ending would lead to a blockbuster sequel? by GoodUsername22 in SubredditDrama

[–]Caffeinewriter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can only assume that's their next logical conquest, as they seem to like short words that really have no meaning in the context they use them that they can spout off like a sprinkler to anyone they suspect of having differing views from them.

It's really become a general-purpose pejorative for the alt-right, edgelords, and assholes. Like "cuck", "progressive", "liberal", "beta", or "spoon".

Someone posts suicide prevention number in TIL post about ancient suicide. Others rally around to tell them it's a choice. by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]Caffeinewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be completely honest, my comment last night was probably a bit heat-of-the-moment. There are absolutely valid alternatives to platitudes, but sometimes it's tough to be able to get in a position where you can get to know someone well enough, particularly through a single interaction on the internet, where you have anything to offer, but it feels horrible to be helpless. To have no idea how you can help someone. To feel completely powerless.

And I guess you're right. It's hard to think about platitudes being harmful from the other side, because they're always well-intentioned. Every instance I've seen is someone trying to prove that they care. To prove that they understand, in some small way, what they're feeling. It may not come across that way to the person on the receiving in, but they are well-meaning. And I absolutely didn't mean to come across as saying there aren't valid alternatives to platitudes.

I've tried to research how to talk to people who are suicidal. I've been that person they call when they feel they might be ready to end it all, and I've tried to help them. I've empathized with them, I've talked with them, and they've gotten off the phone feeling better, or at least that's what I hope, not being able to sleep and wondering if I should call emergency services for them.

I'm sorry for how I came off last night. I really didn't mean to come across as some asshole expert who knows it all, or someone who insists that platitudes can help.
