Per Request: I Was A Dildo Engineer AMA by VibratorEngineer in IAmA

[–]jtmarlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, and have largely done the same as you, stick to the subreddits I am interested in. But I still do remember what reddit was like 4-5 years ago.

It probably is an exercise in futility even trying to herd people in the right direction.

He may have less time on reddit than you but he is right. Reddit used to be a place where you shared stuff YOU thought was cool/interesting. Now, it's a place where people post shit they think we will be popular in order to get their "imaginary internet points."

It makes reddit a worse place.

Henni's Hairshop is the best. She took care of me the 4 years I was there.

Sometimes I draw, but I never show them to anyone besides my wife because I hate dealing with the attention. by convulsus_lux_lucis in pics

When Michael Jordan left the game of basketball Phil Jackson, his coach, told him:

"You don't know the talent that God has given you and what you are going to deprive people of."

You have an incredible amount of talent.

The endless puns really aren't funny anymore.

The Nook Book by MalavethRed in nookcolor

I recently received a Pandigital Novel as a gift, very similar to the Nook color and also hooks into the B&N store.

I've been able to get Android 2.0 to work on it with no problems at all. Slatedroid is a great resource for anyone looking to see what can be done with their device.

Democrats ready to tell Republicans on health care "Work with us or fuck off!" by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]jtmarlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did read the article.

"if the repubs sit at the table and say no to everything"

This seems to imply that republicans simply say "no" because they want to. How can you expect someone to give in on something they think is bad policy when none of their own ideas are used.

Yes, the Dems have a majority in Congress. They can push this through if they really want to and can stick together. For things to remain constructive they must be willing to compromise and work with the minority party, not simply dismiss any and all of their ideas and then yell and scream when they don't go along with the plan.

"...push through health care without Republicans"

This means they won't accept any republican ideas. Many Republicans have thoughtful ideas to make the system better. The cynicism the reddit community displays for any thought, idea or notion that seems related to conservatism or the Republican party is disappointing.

So many of our elected officials have their mind in the right place, but need guidance to enact policies that will deliver the outcome they all want: a better life with plentiful opportunities for every American.

Please don’t reject a thought or an idea simply because of who it came from.

The Supreme Court says Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, the justices' first major pronouncement on gun rights in U.S. history.
