    I wish it was acceptable to call older folks out as lazy if they refuse to learn how to text, email and otherwise use the internet. It’s fine for them to call millennials lazy if they can’t drive a stick shift or balance a checkbook, but if you’re giving me bullshit like “I’m 68 years old, I don’t text and I don’t email” you are just a lazy, stubborn bastard. I’ve met plenty of 90 year olds who are perfectly capable because they aren’t lazy old fucks.


  • On the whole it’s gone way downhill since the API fiasco in my opinion. The only thing worth a damn on Reddit nowadays is that some specific communities are better than elsewhere (sports, mental health, niche hobbies) but only because discussion boards (php) have mostly died and Facebook somehow manages to even MORE toxic as far as racism, sexism, etc.

    It’s depressing. At one time Reddit on the whole as an entity (not the company, the community) was very vibrant and amazing.






  • Target is both to hit your sense of justice (I’m a male feminist) but also engage the innate urge to see the photos. Example

    Anne Hathaway criticized by chauvinists for being too sexy on the red carpet

    Oh wow, I hate sexism so much I better check out these photos!! so I can…support women?

    It CAN work for men but is usually not demeaning. Chris Pratt went from adorable pudge to sexy muscleman, click here to see him shirtless! Not the same I guess.
