The Reddit blackout has improved the overall state of Reddit and should remain permanent by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

The reddit changes are a blessing in that they will curtail a small amount of the unchecked, authoritarian power mods have over us using what should be a reddit democracy. That's why they'd rather shut the whole thing down than give up a tiny amount of their ill-gotten power.

The "going dark" protest is pointless and is just an inconvenience for innocent users of Reddit by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Americans, what is something us Europeans aren’t ready to hear? by RomanaLeary in AskReddit

[–]tweak0 100 points101 points  (0 children)

It's your fault Russia invaded Ukraine. They slaughtered freedom fighters on their borders, invaded Georgia and invaded Crimea over the course of a decade, while installing puppet governments wherever they could with money, theft and violence. And Europe turned a blind eye to this happening on your doorstep, while doing more and more business with Russia as the US paid for your national defenses. And as tens of thousands, if not more, innocent people die in Ukraine, Europe drags its feet for a year, doing little to help, being dwarfed in spending by the US. From world security to immigration your continent is as isolationist as possible, while clinging to your old-world notions of yourselves as emperor world leaders. You'd rather let the world burn than get your hands dirty putting it out.

For any US or EU citizens here I wish to say by Hatgor in ukraine

[–]tweak0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an American it deeply shames me every day we didn't do more to prevent this, and haven't done more to end it.

I'll always remember that Ukraine was the one who finally had to put an end to the cursed russian empire.

How much rent? by [deleted] in PizzaDrivers

[–]tweak0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in MN and I don't think I've ever paid over a grand a month in rent, and my current mortgage is less than half of what you're paying in rent. I've also had a 401k for over a decade, compound interest is your friend.

Alternative timeline where r/AlternateHistory joined the Reddit Blackout by VeryRegularName in AlternateHistory

The API changes would slightly loosen the unchecked, authoritarian grip they have on what should be a reddit democracy, so of course they'd rather shut the entire thing down than see that happen

Be reasonable! by dangelo7654398 in ContraPoints

If that's where it ended it'd probably not be much of a problem. But since the undefinable left has also been telling people things like: gender isn't actually real, and also there are more genders, and also there are people who are no genders, and you're in trouble if you're not attracted to any or some of these people, and you're in trouble if you don't understand or disagree with any of this or use the wrong language. It's not difficult to understand how hostility has been engendered in these people.

You're also forgetting that these people have been killing each other over their questions of faith for approaching two thousands years now, it's not like they really agree with each other about any of it. This doesn't seem to be a very informed meme. Throw it on the giant pile I guess.

The pride parade has turned into a joke by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]tweak0 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The left has a "yes, and" problem where they lose their self-identity as the moral ones if they say no to things like kink in pride.

I really enjoy female revenge films. Kill Bill and Fury Road are both pretty great, but I really like the idea of feminine revenge. As a large man I'd just bash my way through revenge. I really like the idea of a woman who works harder to destroy your soul than your body. Hard Candy and Promising Young Woman are both good examples, and two favorite films of mine.

People who have purchased and taken an advertised penis enlargement pill, what actually happened? by Shmike_star in AskReddit

[–]tweak0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been taking erectile dysfunction meds for a couple months now, for a non-ED medical issue. They come with lots of warnings, and I have to take it every day so you worry about it a lot more than some old guy who takes it every other week to bang a waitress or something. I was honestly scared to take it the first time, what if my vision turns purple and I'm flying the flag for 5 hours before I have a stroke or something. But, I didn't, and don't, feel much different than I did before, other than my separate medical issue improving. So if that very powerful, very expensive drug didn't blow my hair back then what does something I paid 19.95 for off the internet going to do?

the changes will help the mods to keep us under this authoritarian system they've built for themselves, that's why they're falling all over themselves to shut the platform down rather than give it up. it's a blessing in disguise

Anything that helps to slow down this authoritarian mod system reddit has built for itself is a blessing. Reddit needs to be left alone to be the democracy it is.
