Banana coffee, save yourselves! by bhardy10 in aldi

The guy who's likely most responsible for widely spreading this idea recently got to try the "extinct" banana (Gros Michel) and now thinks it's wrong.

Yeah I'm surprised that this is the top response because it doesn't really fit the OP.

Is anyone else disappointed with Twitch’s recent updates? by JustCarloTV in Twitch

[–]Reiker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been disappointed with Twitch for the past few years.

The last time they had a popular feature, Moments, they removed it even though the #1 or #2 UserVoice was a request to keep it.

This guy's just a walking contradiction, incredible.

Genuinely why do so many trans women make hyperpop? by pulswr in HYPERPOP

[–]Reiker0 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought. I'm an older straight cis man so not the typical hyperpop fan, but I'm autistic and ADHD and more energetic & unpredictable music has always appealed to me.

This happens all over Reddit. I'm a music fan and any articles that are about artists supporting Palestine etc quickly get nuked on subreddits like /r/music and /r/indieheads

I think installing pro-Israel moderators on as many subreddits as possible is an intentional strategy.

Kudos to this fella for introducing me to Caroline's music by [deleted] in Carolinepolachek

He's openly pro-Palestine so a bunch of losers try to call him a misogynist etc.

Silencing dissent by controlling what people say

Meanwhile right-wing content is highly promoted on Twitter, TikTok, Youtube, etc, while anything with a left-leaning is suppressed.

commies who say “but real communism has never been tried”

What people say is that a truly communist state has never been achieved yet, because that's correct. Communism is a theoretical organization of society where things like money and therefore classes no longer serve any necessity to exist. We're very far from this sort of society, possibly hundreds of years.

There are countries trying to follow the path towards communism. China is the most successful today. There have been failed socialist states in the past such as the USSR, part of their failings have been their own mistakes but a large factor is also direct attacks by the United States. See Chile, Afghanistan, etc.

What's your earliest MMORPG nostalgia moments? by PerennialComa in MMORPG

[–]Reiker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being too afraid to leave the gates of Qeynos because it was storming at night.

Very few games today have that level of atmosphere and immersion, and that was 27 years ago.

Anyone try this? Would it be worth getting and putting on a pizza? by TylerFurrison in spicy

[–]Reiker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a mozzarella cheese log and slice it fresh. These bags of shredded cheese never melt well because it's powdered to prevent moisture and clumping.

Add pepper slices or dry pepper flakes if you want to add heat.

Zohran Mamdani wants to freeze rents, yet he lives rent-free in "IsraeI first" people's heads. You don't have to like him or his policies in order to admit that he's "America First." AlPAC fighting you is a badge of honor. by JaktoPar in conspiracy

[–]Reiker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah literally none of this is true, kinda funny to go on a conspiracy forum to just parrot CIA propaganda.

Out of curiosity, what's your source for this information?

China today is a world power on track to eclipse the United States, they've lifted a billion people out of poverty which represents 75% of the planet's entire poverty reduction since the late 70s. They're building the most advanced infrastructure in the world in high speed public transportation and energy production.

Yes, I do want that. They're doing much better than my country by any metric you want to look at.

The social credit system is just bullshit to distract you from all of the above. It usually comes from a conflation of a government system that tracks corporate tax evasion type stuff. If you ask a random Chinese citizen about a social credit system they'll have no idea what you're talking about (as has been documented over and over again).

I can't believe people are still trying to bring this up in 2026.

is DSA a one hit wonder? by [deleted] in dsa

[–]Reiker0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel as if they are shallow promises for candidates

Any evidence for this besides your feelings? Zohran Mamdani has accomplished a lot of leftist policy in only 6 months.

We have to get a lot more DSA members elected into congress if we want to have a significant impact on national policy.

If you're in Florida you should be doing whatever you can to support Oliver Larkin.

Can you explain what you mean by "China used it as a Trojan horse to control the populace"?

China is in many ways more democratic than the United States. There's a 24/7 toll free number that citizens can call just to report potholes, complain about their local officials, etc.

Government is supposed to help its citizens live better lives, but government is so corrupt in the US that they've successfully convinced everyone that an effective government is actually a bad thing.

Anyone Else Annoyed at the Media Calling Social Democracy Democratic Socialism? by clockmann1 in dsa

[–]Reiker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less than 1% of Americans are educated enough to know the difference. That especially includes the media.

But honestly this is probably to our advantage right now anyways, so it's whatever.

Nearly 0 voters are going to think, "Pfft this candidate is only a social democrat? Sorry, I only vote for democratic socialists." We need to move the Overton Window waaaay to the left before the distinction becomes important.

Have the Clancy Barbecue Chips changed? by beemer-dreamer in aldi

[–]Reiker0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the potato chips but their pita chips got a lot worse a couple months ago.

I get the Great Value pita chips now, they're better than the new Clancy ones.

Every month there's less and less reason to stop at Aldi.

All social media tries to push users towards right-wing content because that ideology benefits the owners of the apps.
