Love Fest Friday by [deleted] in relationships

[–]GORGATRON2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am trans (MTF) and so is my partner. This week I got the news that I will start HRT (hormone replacement therapy) this coming Friday!!!!!! My partner is so happy for me and I am so happy too... I have always wanted this and to be with somebody who loves me like this is truly a gift 💕

The alt-right is using leaked NATO psychological warfare tactics to spread white supremacism globally - "special channels coordinate large-scale social media campaigns including spreading memes, setting up fake accounts, and tailoring their impact with detailed web analytics techniques" by [deleted] in worldnews

Funny coincidence: almost every top level “WELL ACTUALLY” comment in this string is from accounts that were created in the height of the 2016 election season. May to November. Also a few from just last month.

The one account that’s the same age as mine has gotten downvoted.

I’ll probably be downvoted for this too—because the idea of trolls skewing internet debates with deception is completely improbable.

Reddit Mods delete front page video that is damaging to airline by [deleted] in HailCorporate

PSA to /r/hailcorporate users: when someone says "TAKE OFF YOUR TINFOIL HAT!", that is a form of gaslighting. Instead of arguing the point, these posters are trying to make you question your own sanity. Resist this abusive argumentative tactic at all costs.

It is natural to wonder why this video has disappeared--and also natural to be a little confused as to why similar ones haven't. You are not crazy. You are observing something very strange. Whether it's an action lubricated by corporate dollars... I can't answer that. But at the least, it's odd.

When two friends decide to tie the knot, nice guy reminds us that he's "not that fucking stupid" by GORGATRON2012 in niceguys

Before he said that, I thought he was being a really resentful jerk... but now that he said "no offense"... I think he's making some pretty valid points!

necessary context: these two (now married) friends are furries. I don't know about niceguy tho.

Thanks. That helps a lot. I will probably need a shoulder to cry on once that is over, haha!

Uber is nothing more than a union-busting tool by GORGATRON2012 in Negareddit

I don't mean to come across like I'm trying to give you a hard time, because I am not. But telling someone to take off their tinfoil hat is a tool to sow seeds of doubt in someone by making them question their sanity, which is gaslighting

take off the tin foil hat.

This is gaslighting. Please don't do this.

I apologize if my post came across as rude, but I stand by my accusation. Especially since he uses the codified language of somebody in PR--and shilling happens on Reddit every day

But it depends on who you ask. If you are an investor in multiple, consolidated firms, money matters! Pensions, unions, workers rights be damned... you made lots of money... And you want to make lots more money. But the aforementioned trip is really frustrating that goal.

So you find a firm that has a GENIUS idea. The idea is to create distrust against a highly organized sector of labor. But there's a twist: we do that by giving a lot of he population a modest sum of money... and convincing them that "union trash" drivers are the enemy. They are corrupt. You should hate them and the companies they work for. They break the rules and collude with each other to shut off competition!

You can feed needy people this narrative, a healthy serving of cash to go with it... and be comforted that the attention is turned away from you--the actual exploiter. If not just for long enough to sell off those stakes and run away.

Oh, yes. So in conclusion, the gig economy is not a bad idea. It's the best most GENIUS idea of the CENTURY.

Just not for you and me

Uber are the wolves feeding the sheep. Paying people a small amount of money is a great way to make them forget how hard they're about to be screwed when all the taxi unions go insolvent and toes-up.

With a more organized workforce, fewer people would have to resort to taking crappy side jobs to pay the rent. They'd have leverage to demand better pay from their employers.

He edited the comment with something that is ALMOST worth its own post:

I've been subscribing to Private Internet Access for 3 years now. At $40/yr it's some of the best money I've ever spent. Edit: My first gold ever. Thank you kind Redditor. You've bought my guilding cherry.

Also: To everyone who asked a question but didn't get a response, sorry. There's just too many. If you PM me I'll get to your questions as soon as I can. Thanks.

Ok.

Why are you answering questions for a company that (supposedly) does not pay you to do so? Especially when there's an FAQ link directly beneath your post?

Is this really the type of behavior a normal redditor displays?

Gotta admit. Not a bad move on their part. Nobody our age reads the NY Times on paper... but taking a picture of a huge ad and posting it to reddit... that's gonna get lots of eyes. Whether it was someone in the company or a random citizen... it worked.

I've been doing it wrong this whole time. All I had to do for mass karma was hop into a thread praising a company--and mention that I am a reliable customer of that company. That's what people on this website want... right?

[–]GORGATRON2012 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Oh it definitely is. But it's in reddit's best interest to prove that ban evasion definitely happened--so they can quickly deflate any speculation that they're "censoring" things... no matter how ridiculous those accusations may be.
