circlebroke2 内の Enlightened-Youth によるリンク "Bernie supporter" sends flustered, sputtering, anonymous letter to BLM protester after Milo Yiannopoulos event at DePaul U, then goes on Mr_Trump to brag about it.

[–]dhamster 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

So, this guy writes a long rant about how Milo didn't have a safe enough place on campus to do his thing without blowback, and still sticks in a complaint about "safe zones." Then for a second layer of irony, the commenters are so frightened that he is pro-Bernie that he is begged to disavow Bernie in order to continue posting in their subreddit. And he does it, because he was probably never pro-Bernie to begin with.

Some additional context: this rationalwiki article sums up who Molyneux is. He is an amateur philosopher, YouTuber, libertarian and "racial realist."

I saw some Planet of the Apes movie in a loud theater in St. Louis where people cheered and clapped.. and it made the movie more fun? People in that thread seem pretty uptight about preserving The Movie Experience... even if they are watching shitty movies

So doesn't Jon's oath technically expire at the end of season 5? I wonder if that will have something to do with the title of the episode.

It seems like there are a lot of tech companies these days who try to "disruptively innovate" existing markets using an app to do the exact same thing as an existing service. Then they'll say something like "use our app and we'll clean your room... but we're not a maid service!" Then they can undercut their competition by circumventing the taxes and regulations in place for their competitors.

Pretty telling that they simply leave the city when the law starts to affect them: it shows how dependent they are on operating without regulation.

circlebroke 内の VelvetFedoraSniffer によるリンク What's the deal with the new trend of comments styles?

[–]dhamster 31ポイント32ポイント  (0子コメント)

People will do whatever it takes to make their comment stand out in a sea of replies, in order to get that karma.

Back when /r/circlejerk had inline advice animals enabled (years ago), people started commenting exclusively using those, since they take up enough real estate to drown out everything else.

Well, you can look at the replays to see how they are beating you, and what you're doing that's getting you punished. Then you can learn something from your loss and have the upper hand the next time you see that kind of situation.

circlebrokediscussion 内の acedis によるリンク Is there a general guideline for content considered too low-effort for prime?

[–]dhamster 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think the old effort standard (when we started doing effort standards) was 2+ examples and at least a paragraph of text in the OP. Enforcing that ended up choking out most of the activity on CB and caused the average post to get padded out with filler in fear that it would be removed as a low effort post. So, we relaxed the effort rules, for the most part. We still get the same number of effort posts per day as we did before, but we get some additional lower-effort submissions mixed in.

circlebroke 内の bio_fuccboi によるリンク When it comes to pot, everyone on Reddit has a PhD in Science.

[–]dhamster 18ポイント19ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nuance is lost on reddit most of the time. Either something is 100% good and can do no wrong, or is completely evil and must be stopped at all costs. Is pot a deadly and dangerous drug? Probably not. Should you smoke it while driving or pregnant? Probably not.

This pretty unsurprising study contradicts the idea that weed is a perfect cure-all; instead of coming to terms with the fact that there might be times when you probably shouldn't smoke weed, redditors freak out.
