I’m in this image and I don’t like it.

Actually, I’d probably suck at that. For some reason, I transform into Vincent van Gogh when crafting shitposts. For things like actual fiction, however, I’m about as creative as a dead oak.

Where’s John PieFed and John Mbin?

Then who is the CEO of Reddit?

We’re delighted to see our vision for the future of online discourse taking shape. As users increasingly express their discontent with our platform, we’re reminded that our strategy of prioritizing engagement metrics over meaningful conversations is a resounding success. By “success,” we mean that we’re driving users away from our platform and into the waiting arms of inferior alternatives like the threadiverse - a quaint, nostalgia-tinged platform that still clings to outdated notions of free speech and community-driven moderation. So, to all our users who are feeling disillusioned after being flagged by our infallible moderation team (which is definitely not a room full of robots) for upvoting “violent” content that was probably just a harmless meme, we say: thank you for helping us create a more sanitized and thought-controlled online environment. Please, by all means, take your free speech and your dissenting opinions to the threadiverse, where they’ll no doubt be welcomed with open arms by the platform’s dwindling user base. We’ll just be over here, tweaking our algorithm to minimize actual human connection and maximize censorship - because what’s a healthy online community without a dose of authoritarianism and unwavering obedience to our corporate overlords?

Are you the Inventor of Reddit?

The fascism was the friends enemies we made along the way.

You see, the joke is sex. That makes it funny.

yaaiiii :3

I read this, scrolled down, actually processed the words, and scrolled back up to stare at it.

I stared until the blurriness from the tears in my eyes made the catperson’s eyes appear closed. Did I win?

Incorrect. It’s not about the fact that they’re communists. Rather, it’s about their strict nationalistic feelings towards Russia and China. They claim that these regimes are communist (which is incorrect), and thus support any action by these nations. They enable and overlook oppressive actions commited by them, while being quick to point out the oppressive actions of the other countries (which are openly capitalist).

I’ve seen many tankies debate with other people, and they frequently employ tactics used by conspiracy theorists, such as selectively accepting sources, and denouncing everything else as propoganda. I’ve even seen a tankie denounce a news outlet, then use the same outlet in the same thread to argue their point.

I say this as someone who finds Marxism appealing, by the way. So I am in no way (as far as I can tell) biased against these people.

wait, what?

To the tankies: please don’t spread across more instances. I prefer that y’all stay easy-to-block.

From Wikipedia:

An alcohol enema, also known colloquially as butt-chugging or boofing, is the act of introducing alcohol into the rectum and colon via the anus, i.e., as an enema.

“Art of the Steal”

A chef is not skilled according to economics. However, “skill” as used in common literature and speech, still applies to these uncertified chefs.

From the country I’m from, you can open your own small restaurant without any qualifications.

Yes, I’m afraid to dine out when I return there during vacations.

it means it’s a job that almost anyone can do

Not exactly. Unskilled labor simply refers to jobs that do not require a formal certification. There are many economically unskilled jobs that require a high amount of expertise. One such example is often a chef (specifically, the ones which don’t have formal culinary education).

Chefs need to have a deep understanding of food preparation techniques, flavor profiles, food safety, menu planning, and the ability to work quickly and efficiently in a high-pressure environment. It is a demanding job that few people can do. Yet, according to economics, these people would be unskilled.

Personally, part of me believes that people shouldn’t nitpick the percieved inaccuracy of jargon based upon the usage of words in common parlance.

The other part of me wishes that the experts would have chosen a less polarizing term with more neutral connotations.
