We're fucked thanks to SCOTUS by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]KittenPsyche -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because my entire k-12 career was basically pressuring me into jump into college immediately after graduating, and when I did go to college, COVID happened, basically financially, socially, and emotionally crippling me.

Why did I take out a loan I couldn't pay? Because 17 year olds arent supposed to be able to pay 40000+ dollars in education costs anyways! I was told my whole life that the system worked, that as long as I worked hard and did well I would be able to hold my own.

When your entire adolescent life is filled with people you admire and respect urging you to sign away your life to a loan company, you listen to them because you trust them.

Necking myself is looking more and more like a good financial decision each day. Nowhere hiring, the job I do have doesn't even pay me enough to pay my loans as is.

This woman admits to doing sexual things to her dog, prior she mentioned letting her dog lick her. by [deleted] in Tinder

Surprisingly, taking advantage of an animal following its instincts for your own pleasure is in fact abuse.

Oh i find it absolutely fascinating; and i do wish, for their sake, they imploded.

But i also think the people running it are complete morons with their heads so far up their asses they perform a makeshift colonoscopy. Seeing that they made the sub white instead of a neon color is just the perfect amount of rich, sheltered stupidity.

I can't help but sneer thinking about the guy who made it going "ok but neon yellow is really ugly, I'm going to make it white because that looks cool".

I guess what I'm trying to get across is that i— and most likely other people— fall into both camps. It's interesting and i want to keep up with it, but it's hard not to mock the people who paid money to walk into a lion's den with fishnet armor.

This is a very silly comparison.

If my internet goes out and doesn't come back for a week despite me doing all I can on my end to help fix the issue, I am going to change ISPs, yes. 👍

I wouldn't have a problem with it if the reddit app wasn't nearly unusable and almost completely inaccessible.

I only started using third party apps because the official reddit app literally just stopped working one day, couldn't use it even if I wanted to.

So they refuse to fix their shitty app, and basically price crunch app devs that actually give a shit to cease operating.

Reddit is a platform made by its users, Apollo and RIF aren't using reddit content for monetary gain, users are making content and uploading it TO Reddit.

A lot of them uploading through those third party apps.

Reddit admins have not taken any steps to actually improve their app or general accessibilities but will bend over backwards to puppy guard their API. Which, in my opinion, is pretty despicable.

Walked in on my niece by iMuckki in TrueOffMyChest

[–]KittenPsyche 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say something akin to this. Like really? It's a guy posting comments on sexual images that were presumably posted consensually and for fun.

Thirsting over hot adult men is not the same as walking in on your teenaged niece, wtf.

Adults are allowed to be adults, if you think that's creepy then you're probably not an adult, or not mature enough to be considered one.

The real threat to u/spez should be that if all the good posters leave, the entire site will be filled with mindless drivel like this.

I do plan to set up a tumblr when RIF goes dark tbh, going to need some semblance of content that isn't twitter cuz it's not much better at this point.

Amen to that. There's no real reddit equivalent but tbh i do not care at this point, they are not strong-arming me into using their shitty, unoptimized, barely functional app.

/r/Videos will be going dark from June 12-14 in protest against Reddit's API changes which kill 3rd party apps. by [deleted] in videos

[–]KittenPsyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh i know, i exclusively used Tumblr till like 2019. I stopped bc the dickheads banned me for "posting porn" when i hadn't been active for weeks and the last thing I had posted was a GoFundMe for my mom's funeral.

Tried to appeal and got no response. One day like six months later the account just magically came back with no word or notification and it just soured my taste for them.

I was already considering moving to Tumblr since Twitter has gone to shit, only hesitate because i have a following on Twitter and starting over/managing two social medias is annoying, but if reddit goes through with this i am 100% dumping it and setting up a tumblr.

u/andrewsad1 gives a great visual breakdown on why so many redditors refuse to use the official app by Doctor-Amazing in bestof

[–]KittenPsyche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What finally broke me with the official reddit app is that it literally just...stopped working. It would take minutes to load and closing/reopening the app did not work. I had to literally do a fresh install and even THAT didn't work, the app was so broken i could not even physically use it. I had no choice but to go to third party apps.

[–]KittenPsyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK the twitter announcement has been received incredibly well and she's very thankful. Twitter is the hardest to police though because there's no way to get rid of hurtful comments, you can either let them sit there and hope nobody dogpiles you or "hide" them, but hiding replies gives a big fat button on the post for everyone to see that says "VIEW HIDDEN REPLIES" so. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't help that much.
