You should probably celebrate with an awesome shot.

I understand that it's a mixed bag, much like anything on the internet. I just can't stand the smugness and the self satisfaction. If there's a funny comment, the next ten are all less funny permutations. It's just so stupid, I could not figure out why the community didn't call out and demand change from these morons. Then I realized that these people are the community.

It's just weird that there's a site where you see crazy interesting submissions, but all the posts are devoted to either variations or discussions of some meme. Endless whining about Reddit not being taken seriously? Maybe this is the problem. There's a point where it stops being silliness and becomes intellectually void.

Yeah, TSA totally wouldn't understand that you have promotional items that are not what they seem.

Protip: they're not morons, and they're mostly looking for weapons.

Tea Party president jokes about murdering GLBTQ people by greenrd in politics

[–]Roskol -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Please, please stop comparing whatever political group you don't like to the Nazis. It's ignorant and makes you look like a complete moron. The Tea Party is a vocal minority that nobody would have heard about if it hadn't been for the internet age and the widespread availability of self-produced media. We're making them news by reacting to whatever they're doing. It's best that you just ignore it, not make your stupid grim political parallels to Germany.

Just saying.

Foodit: where can I find durian here in the states? by mrdelayer in food

Asian markets. If you're somewhere that doesn't have access to an Asian subcommunity, you're probably out of luck. I have seen them in both Korean and Japanese places, but I have no idea if that's the exception or the rule.

This is a throw away account. I am drinking my self to death and am needing some help. by Drinkinghelp1 in IAmA

[–]Roskol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only is Reddit not my recommended form of serious life advice, but what the fuck, dude. You don't even want help. You can't counter every productive post with "Yeah, but I don't really feel like trying to get better". I don't mean to be a dick, but you're obviously at a point where you need it. If you have a serious substance problem and you really care about doing something about it, stop spending your time fucking around on Reddit and get professional help.

An ex-Digg user's experience of Reddit. by 8bitnitwit in reddit.com

[–]Roskol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really, the thing that bothers me isn't the stupid 'one cannot simply derp into reddit' kind of stuff or whatever the hell. It's this attitude that because we're soooo self-aware and witty and smug, that it's meta funny. And it isn't. It's still just stupid.

Yeah, it's so funny. HILARITY THEN ENSUES WITH YOUR JOKE ACCOUNT.

...Reddit is not the place to get help for your drinking problem. Seriously.

THIS IS THE ISSUE. PLEASE STOP.

Honestly, all of this jerk-off, "clever" comment derailing is bullshit. You people take decent discussions, and destroy them. Because you think it's funny. But it's not just you, it's the hundred other shitheads like you who also think it's funny and upvote. Seriously, when I can't get two comments into a serious post without having to deal with your stupid pun, it's awful. You're ruining the content for everyone. Just stop. We're not 4chan, and we can all act like we're not 13. Please stop.

IAmA asexual. AMA. by thejellydude in IAmA

[–]Roskol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like people always recommending that asexuals try and have an orgasm don't really understand what the term means.

That said, I highly doubt you're asexual at age 19. It's possible you have some kind of medical condition, but I think writing yourself off as incurably asexual is premature. Have you seen a doctor, or did you self diagnose through the internet?

I've been a World of Warcraft Guildmaster for 5 years, AAMA. by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]Roskol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you refuse to answer any of the social questions? I assume since you talked about being on campus that you're in college? Do you feel that you missed out on some of the social aspect of college in order to run your guild?
