"All experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

The bizarre bans is what made me leave recently. Banned from a default sub i had been in for years for posting a link. There was no rules against links and the reason given was "we don't like the link" then told "we don't have to give warnings" when I asked why I would be permanently banned for doing something that isn't against the rules. Then that same thing happened in another sub the next day. I don't know what's going on there but it's almost like they want to cull the users who aren't conforming to the way they want the content to be ingested.

Can I take the over on diarrhea epidemics on Kalshi? This country went from Hope and Change to resembling a Paul Verhoeven movie so fast I have whiplash.

My BIL asked me how I was streaming sports so I sent him the site and he complained that the site i sent him to had a bunch of ads. I always forget there are people in the year of our lord 2026 who still don't use ad blockers. I thought web condoms were widespread by now.

Because if you want to see anything outside of your constructed bubble, you will have to add it intentionally. There are plenty of communities i wouldn't know about because I'm new. By using all or popular, i can stumble upon things from time to time.

You're getting in the way of how horny the 50+ crowd is to kill some people before they kick the bucket

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

"I pretended to be the person I wanted to be until I became that person, or he became me." Attributed to Cary Grant. On the days I wake up feeling miles away from the person I want to be, I can pretend.
