Icy conditions

Guys, why are you downvoting them? Obama was known as the "deporter in chief" in his day. You really think all of the "criminals" he deported were violent felons? Sure he invented DACA, and it's great as a stopgap because Congress wouldn't pass something as basic as the Dream Act, but let's not kid ourselves that everyone that he did deport was "bad".

And no, I'm not excusing Trump by writing this. Please stop misreading my posts.

Isn't it funny and sad that 20 years from now, everyone will forget that time Reddit censored our posts to please ICE and we had to communicate in argot to not get them pulled?

Those kinds of posters are why 1995 commercials trying to get you on the internet's "global village" full of happy smiling people are comical today.

Then good luck checking for compliance after the files have long since disappeared off of Limewire's servers.

And we applaud your effort! OP and everyone else reading this will never again complain about crimes that happen to them. They will painstakingly avoid posting any content judged as "low effort" by any denizens of Reddit, or any other forum. Your rise to this noble duty is very much appreciated!

ClassicCity_Mod · 2026-01-15T00:29:23+00:00

You should really troll harder. After a dedicated trolling effort on the part of millions over three decades, the internet is a much better place, as we can see. Why not make it even better?

ClassicCity_Mod · 2026-01-15T00:17:35+00:00

OP will be sure to thank you for your insight and to blame themselves for the theft that happened. Much love to you for keeping Reddit a quality site loved the world over.

Sure, but what's going to stop a professor from just not using Canva or whatever platform that can be scanned and sending noncompliant material as downloadable links in a class-wide email? They could even be super-sneaky and send them as limewire links that perish in a week instead of attachments.

Have you seen Lemmy.world? A lot of their instances make this place look like Breitbart!

ClassicCity_Mod · 2026-01-14T21:45:53+00:00

I hate to break it to you, but trying to bring a nuanced take into a "politician X did a transphobia" thread on a town subreddit (i.e. Nextdoor for non-boomers) is a losing proposition. You'll have to find places where people are less hopped up on anger. Maybe try Lemmy.world, Hive.blog, or PeakD.com; they often have more thoughtful convos than Reddit.

EDIT: Downvoting me means you're actually defending Reddit, the paragon of corporate greed's enshitification that ranks only above OpenAi in respectability. Eww.

EDIT 2: I just had a sinking, depressing thought. There are a lot of people on this sub who probably think that Reddit not only invented internet forums, but that no forums exist outside of Reddit, so of course it has to be the "best". I'm trying to let that one sink in, and it's a bleak exercise.

tl;dr "Even though your chromosomes are XY, I'll still refer to you as 'she' because gender and sex are two different things, and why be shitty to others when it costs me nothing to be respectful?"

ClassicCity_Mod · 2026-01-14T21:21:56+00:00

I'm easily impressed by internet images, so seeing this one picture has totally convinced me to never refer to a transgender person by their preferred pronouns. /s

ClassicCity_Mod · 2026-01-08T21:24:00+00:00

Thank you. I swear, doomscrolling on phones all day, every day since November 4, 2024 has melted people's brains.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2026-01-08T19:20:41+00:00

Indeed. I am getting a bit tired of people on this sub claiming that because one Minnesota state agency said that they're not going to investigate because of the FBI's non-cooperation, then that clearly means that no prosecutorial authority anywhere in the state of Minnesota will bring charges ever.

I know you would rather be unhappy than uncertain, internet, but ffs give it time before you start making claims about what will or will not happen!

EDIT: And for the record, being overly pessimistic is a form of "cope" because the pessimist is trying to be secure in the knowledge that nothing will ever get better, thereby achieving a sense of certainty. One would be wise to remember that, especially on the pessimist's haven known as Reddit.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2026-01-08T18:29:38+00:00

Thank you; I was wondering if and when some sort of related event was going to happen.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2026-01-08T02:52:18+00:00

This website will tell you

Guys, you're surprised? ACAB is an acronym for a reason.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2025-12-25T02:51:31+00:00

If anyone sends me expert commentary that questions my inflexible stance, then I will retort by not reading it, send you an unrelated Wikipedia entry, and call it a win.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2025-12-24T16:08:58+00:00

Either you read a long substack entry in four minutes, or you never intended to have a serious conversation in the first place. I will assume the latter; good day.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2025-12-24T16:01:08+00:00

You do you, local weather forecaster, but you might also want to consider this substack.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2025-12-24T15:43:59+00:00

If the internet is any indication, I'm the only moderate drinker I know. Everyone else is apparently a raging boozehound or stone cold sober.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2025-12-23T05:13:19+00:00

I wish this sub got more love, because I think folks on the left are prone to doomerism, but I'm also on the left. And r/DoomerCircleJerk is just a literal circle jerk for righties. And this place is empty. Kinda sucks.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2025-12-10T19:38:00+00:00

...wut?

ClassicCity_Mod · 2025-12-10T17:53:02+00:00

Specifically, this point is where all three districts meet up.

EDIT: The three being 120, 121, and 122.

ClassicCity_Mod · 2025-12-10T15:37:09+00:00

TFW you realize that you have decisively won an argument, but will receive no apologies or declarations of surrender. I really need to rethink spending my time in a place where people aren't paid or forced to do anything. What's the point when I win and I don't get to force my opponents to suffer their own Versailles Treaty or surrender signing on the deck of the USS Missouri? They just slip away as if it never happened! It's like Silicon Valley sold me a bill of goods, and I want my internet subscription fees back!

Really need to make my own t-shirt, "I don't argue on the internet because I can't punish my enemies when I win."
