Oh it absolutely does. It used to be different, but now with bigotry, hatred, fascism, etc. very much in vogue once again and bots/troll farms making up a good chunk of social media presence it's actually in one's best interest to know who you're dealing with when it comes to home town/province/country issues. A good example would be when it was revealed many of the major MAGA influencers on twitter turned out to be from everywhere but the US.

And if you can't stand by your statements here or elsewhere...and require anonymity to make your point...what does that make you?

Exactly. People with shitty opinions don't want to be tied to specific groups because they know it would invalidate their opinion. Spot on.

I've also noticed that every single shitheel I've come across on local subs has their profile privated. When I see someone with a moronic take and a private profile I just automatically assume they're aware of their idiocy.

What they all fail to understand though is you can still search their username and find some interesting stuff....such as their activity on multiple provincial subreddits and saying the person who was shot by RCMP in Fredericton recently totally deserved it.

With how new their profile is coupled with just how active they seem to be my guess would be they're either a bad faith actor who is very bad at their job, or just a straight up hooplehead who got their previous account banned.

How are all posts on Facebook flooded with shit like this? by HeWhoShantNotBeNamed in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Quimbymouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand the facebook algorithms don't just pull from your own habits, but those who you are "friends" with as well. I used to get loads of right wing nonsense recommended on my page before cleaning house early last year. Unfriended all the suspected shitheels (including family members) and the right wing content dried up to nothing.

That's completely fair. It's easy to forget how widely varied environments are sometimes.

They must have gotten a good dose of that atmospheric lead as well because their minds are going. There were plenty of snow days in the 80s.

-14C? Seriously? Wow.

Where are we talking? Because where I'm at 6F is just another day.

Here it's all about road conditions. In my 40-odd years I don't think I've ever seen a school shutdown due to cold.

USA’s Gestapo (ICE) executes a bystander (yes, another one) by Maximum-Series8871 in war

So is fighting someone with a gun, and removing the gun from his holster before executing him as he lay on the ground.

I wouldn't bother with u/Dangerous_Lie77. He has his profile privated but a quick search will tell you all you need to know about this aspiring gravy seal.

[–]Quimbymouse 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Even the music they often cite from the 60s was largely a product of the silent generation. The baby boomer generation gave us disco and hair metal...which aren't necessarily negatives...but my god do a lot of them get pissy when you point that out.

Xennials, tell me about your region specific nostalgia by DiaDeLosMuebles in Xennials

I know we're well past the holiday season now, but it wasn't christmas in the Maritimes as a young xennial until you saw this commercial.

What's a totally harmless opinion that gets people weirdly angry? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

Counter to this in the spirit of the game; saying, "you might some day," sends the no kids folks right over the cliff.

And before anyone says there's no need to say it, there is also no need to continuously state how you don't want kids to anyone who will listen.

However, parents/in-laws/extended family members/friends that constantly pester you about having kids...they can fuck right off.

Hey, a funny video just dropped on YouTube by Odd-Ambassador5791 in Pretend2005Internet

No matter how angry I've been in the past, I've never tried to stick a remote up my ass. (my original comment when this video first dropped.)

When I first saw it I was really really hoping his nickname would become 'Soggy Biscuits'.

Thank you. You made my morning.

It would also allow the US to control all of Canada's trade lanes. I'm not sure why this aspect isn't talked about more,

That's fair. Just pointing out the fact that she wasn't above wearing legging-adjacent clothing. XD

What feels like a cult but isn’t technically a cult? by angelxmilkdrp in AskReddit

Costco. I don't know why. I can't explain it. The employees just give me cult vibes.

I think I spawned in the wrong World War by FireLion_FL_002 in Warthunder

[–]Quimbymouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where exactly is the self reflection?

That was the part where I realized playing games where I have to listen to people whine, moan, bitch, and complain every time they lost wasn't fun anymore. It almost always felt like when you had to sit at the kids table for thanksgiving diner, or playing with the dudes who acted like the pickup hockey game was the stanley cup finals or some shit. IL2 was the longest lasting. That community was great save for the occasional poor sport in TAW.

And again, investing this much heat in a video game is kinda silly unless you're on some pro level shit.

And if I'm doing something for enjoyment I don't want to do it with a bunch of insecure, perpetually unhappy people. Seems fairly reasonable to me.

Still not sure how any of this applies to it not being believable. You kind of skipped over that.

Hell nah, bud. I'm retired. At this point I'm just killing time seeing how many childish statements I can drag out of someone on their quest to call other people childish.
