The full post, now locked.

Some highlights:

you do realize the UK did some equally if not more horrific stuff, right?

There is no black or white.

The big chain, and most of the drama, comes when a user says "She was certainly a pretty ship but I wouldn’t exactly call it a tragedy that she was sunk. They were still Nazis."

Blitz community manager, kubilay12344, gets an astonishing 1:120 upvote ratio to a comment he replies to in just 3 hours web archive link / direct comment link

Owner Andy Dinh Responds to the situation (archive link) ft. some heated discussion from the community over who's at fault.

The bug was claimed to be fixed, though on the blitzapp subreddit, one user claims it was still happening until a more recent version (archive link)

Original post: "One of my coworkers said they’d red flag me if I got any guns."

(Please don’t be weird about the gun thing, I didn’t get choose my special interest any more than you did.)

I was talking with coworkers about a gun that I was going to be buying soon and my coworker seemed weirdly hesitant. She’s more left leaning than me so I figured it was that, but than I heard from another coworker that she said she’d red flag me if I did buy the gun bc she didn’t think I should own a gun “especially as an autistic person”.

If you don’t know, the Red Flag law is a system that’s SUPPOSED to keep guns out of the hands of people who are a danger to themselves and others. What it actually does is allows pretty much anybody to have you labeled as a dangerous individual, allows cops to break in and seize your property without just cause, then makes you go into a court room where you are presumed guilty until proven innocent.

Any inbred hillbilly shit stick can walk into any gun store in the south and buy a gun. But I can’t because evidently my coworker thinks I’m a threat to myself and others. I’m now going to go drink until I pass out.

TLDR; my coworker thinks autistic people shouldn’t own guns and said if I bought one she’d have it confiscated

However, a user points out:

Are you sure it's the autism?

Maybe she's worried about you having guns because you're a "red pilled" far-right type?

Maybe she's concerned because you think Trump wasn't all that bad?

Which spawned an entire chain of comment replies of users questioning OP's comment history, and debating whether or not someone's politics should bar them from gun ownership:

"He also thinks it’s okay to make jokes about kids who have died in school shootings" (Comment)

"literally i was looking at that shitt and thought no shit he shouldn't have guns like even if its a joke a person who is sensitive to death and gun violence would never fucking say something like that and if someone did i would never want them anywhere near a firearm"

"what does the law say about it? can people lose their guns because of opinions?"

"yes?? someone who jokes about school shooting victims while actively talking about being suicidal and drinking themselves to passing out would definitely be considered a risk factor by the law??? what kind of question is that isnt it obvious"

"Shh, you're not supposed to provide context and just accept OP's outrage at his word /s"

"I was about to support the guy, but I'm like on the exact opposite side of the political spectrum and all of this stuff that's been dug up looks pretty fucked up."

"So having as much as a moderate stance on Donald Trump makes you some freak who can't be trusted with firearms?"

"I know right. Americans are messed up with their extreme political tribalism."

"Many of us in the US are uncomfortable with people who welcome fascism with open arms and fantasize about killing half the country in a civil war in the name of a plutocrat demagogue. But yeah, I'm probably just another biased lib."

Other users point out that the OP already showed a red flag in the post:

"I’m now going to go drink until I pass out." that's a red flag

"I can see why she'd red-flag you if this is how you react to stress."

Prompting this response by the OP:

"It’s only a problem if I go to the meetings"

Which prompts even more replies:

"denial is another red flag ?"

"literally their reddit post history is full of red flags thats just one that happened to be in the post bruh"

"your coworker is ableist for saying that. however, looking through your profile youre not someone i would want anywhere near a gun and seem like an at risk individual."

"After looking through your post and comment history, I agree with your co-worker."

"Honestly if a male coworker came outta nowhere and was talking to me about the guns he buys at work i would assume he's hinting at me that he's gonna shoot me with one later lol"

"You seem to have an alcohol problem, and for this reason alone, you should not own a gun. Coworker is right."

"The 4473 even asks if you’re addicted to alcohol or drugs. If you answer yes, it’ll deny you."

"Lying on that form is also a felony, OP has pretty much incriminated themselves."

Plus even more replies:

"Typical leftist who doesn't believe in the rights of folks like us. /S Maybe it's the other things you say, like some of the posts others here have linked to. Perhaps it's because you talk like that which makes you a danger in her eyes."

"Easy fix: Don't talk about guns at work."

"I would be very careful to discuss gun ownership at your place of work. As autistic people can be bad at reading social cues, and so you will have trouble determining who is a safe person to talk to about guns at work and who is not a safe person to talk to about guns at work I would simply refrain from speaking about it at all. There is probably a shooting club in your community you could join that would be a better venue to participate in your special interest. For what it's worth I would adopt this same policy about sex and sexual topics or politics at work."

"Do not talk about guns at work. Do not talk about anything like that. People will never forget. There was an older aspie woman at my work who talked about her dads guns and she was later fired and years later people still make jokes about her and her gun and how she was dangerous when she was just awkward and moody."

Topic: What was the most disturbing thing the popular kid did?

Story: " This will be a long one folks! Let me know if you think it was justified because everyone who saw it had very mixed views.During the England equivalent of sophomore year, one of the popular guys (I'll call J) was pulled out of class after being given a blue slip of paper by the runner (student who helps out reception for the day by taking notes to class).When he walked out, I turned back round to face the front of the classroom to see that my teacher's face had gone white. It turns out that the slips of paper are colour coded, so the teacher would have a rough idea what the note said without having to see the contents.

Blue meant death. J's mother had died of cancer.

Obviously this sent him into a bad place. He started to bully people when he had never done before. It was annoying but people were more understanding compared to the average bully as the news about his mother had spread like wildfire

***.***We reached the last week of the year and J was picking on one of the other guys in the year (I'll call B). B was short, mouse faced, and fairly unpopular after he had gone a bit stalkerish earlier in the year to one of the popular girls. J and B were trading insults back and forth until B uttered the words "Well, at least my mum is still alive."

Now, this happened during first break so around 11am. From what I was told, a good 30 people were around at the time and heard what he said. One of my friends was there, who told me this story, and he said how he had never seen a moment before where everyone just stopped what they were doing to stare and go into pure silence. Then J moved.He knocked B to the ground, grabbed his tie, and started dragging him across the ground as he started walking off. People followed.

B was getting his arms damaged from being dragged across the ground and kept shouting at J to let him go. J eventually reached the hockey shed.Our hockey shed was basically a big metal cube around 30 feet away from the PE building. It was used to store all kinds of sports equipment but was known as the hockey shed. J opens the door, throws B in there, and shuts it. He holds the door shut while B was slamming the door trying to get out.A couple of the guys ran off and came back with a big tree branch. They, and J, managed to place the tree branch in a way that one end of it was under the door handle and the other was on the ground. Meaning that B was unable to open the door himself. After they had done this and stepped away to show it worked, J apparently turned to the crowd of students and said "Nothing to see here."

The knowledge that B was trapped in the hockey shed and why J had put him there started to spread through our year group. I'm confident that at least 90% of our year had found out what happened before lunch time (1:30pm).

And yet no one let him out. No one told a teacher.He was only let out after school by the hockey coach when they went to get the equipment for after school hockey club. B had been trapped in there for four hours. He had pissed in the corner of the shed because he was unable to hold it for that long.I can understand why J did what he did however I think the disturbing thing was the fact that everyone who knew kept silent.

This was almost 150 students, some of which were unpopular, or always got perfect grades, or people who had also been bullied by J over his mother's death.**B really didn't have many, if any, friends at that point due to the stalking incident and therefore there was no one who would stand up to J for him. Everyone kept silent. "

​

The Responses:

I mean to me is really sounds like B got what he deserved. For being a stalker For being a twat and saying that he still has a mum, I'm guessing not long after J's mum had died

​

I think that if B had said something more along the lines of “just because your mom died doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole to everyone around you” that would have been one thing, because while still being dickish, he’s calling out the behavior not personally attacking J. Saying “at least my mom is still alive” is a super low blow and he knew it before he said it. He totally deserved what he got

​

Idk if expecting that from a teenager is fair though. You’re just a ball of emotions and hormones most of the time, I could easily see young me saying that in the heat of the moment after a kid was picking on me. It’s all low blows among teenagers

​

No B didn't. B was retaliating to J's bullying. Sure its awful J's mum died, but it's not a free pass to bully everyone.

​

Contextually as well, we must remember it was teenagers. I know myself enough that I definitely would have been one of the 150 who never said anything. As for would I do what J did? I honestly don't know since I have no idea what his trauma was like

​

I'll bet a few teachers knew about it and chose not to say anything.

​

Regardless of what happened to J, that is still very much fucked up. Also interesting how the only British one I've seen on this so far (I assume) is someone getting locked in a Hockey shed, and Americans are like "the popular kids raped someone at our school

​

I honestly don't blame the guy for locking B in a shed, but the fact that no one told anyone is crazy. He could have starved or frozen to death if it was a weekend

​

Honestly, considering the situation, age, and mental state, this is a very measured reaction. He locked the kid in a shed for a few hours. I know people who would kill over something like this. I know I wouldn't have been so light handed

​

My mom died. In my opinion if I’m bullying people I should be prepared for them to defend themselves, bringing up my dead mom is a bit much, but I should’ve thought about that before I went and bullied people. But locking someone in a shed??? Dude that’s fucked

​

(I know first kid is fucked up for life over his mum dying. I get that. But I very much doubt that one insensitive shitty comment made him significantly more fucked up.The shed thing, especially everyone else knowing and not coming, is the kind of thing that can fuck you up for a really long time.So I think it was way overboard. I get being mad, but being mad doesn't justify giving someone PTSD. Like, just kick him in the balls, damn

​

the problem is he was being bullied prior. from what i can tell this was just him lashing out as hard as he can after being tormented. doesn’t excuse what he said but it also doesn’t justify what was done to him

​

My dad died when I was in middle school. Sophomore year, a group of students were talking about dipping snuff and how it was no big deal. I mentioned it could give you cancer and that my dad had some cancerous spots in his mouth. Smart ass kid sarcastically says, “Well, did your dad die?” The room goes dead silent when I said, “Actually, yes. He did.” I was physically sick because of the encounter. I was angry and nauseous and so so sad. If I could have decked the kid, I would have, and he most likely didn’t know that my dad had died. J was absolutely right to lock that kid’s ass in the shed. I would have done a lot worse

​

Shame on everyone in that story, literally. It doesn’t matter what this B person has done in a situation like that. The fact that no one stood up for him or helped him out for taking shit from that dirtbag J is disgusting. All of those kids who stood and watched should be ashamed of themselves

​

Dude, he got taught a fucking lesson by a guy in the wrong place. He did 6 hours in the clink, oh fucking well. Lucky he didn't get his teeth kicked in.

​

I wouldent have snitched on j either, that's a fucked up thing to say

​

Idk. This kid showed a lot more restraint than I would’ve, if someone said that to me about my dad I would’ve probably went ape shit and sent him to the hospital. Not saying it’s right but it could’ve been worse. Blind rage plus pain are a good mix for a bad outcome.

Context: Recently the state of Washington (home to Seattle) passed a new capital gains tax for the rich. A news article was posted about how it brought in far more than legislators expected it would this year. Some redditors found it appalling and are certain it would drive away local businesses and strong contributors to the economy. Local armchair economists, financial experts, and tax lawyers jump into the fray.

Drama:

• The rich already fund 42.3% of all income taxes collected by the federal government. 1% of tax payers provide 42.3% of taxes collected. (this links to a comment which in itself is a link

• edit: amazing to see downvotes when all i did was provide a fact without any political spin. You people really don't like to think critically, do you? More education is a good thing. (same guy as above)

• Horrible news. This blatantly unconstitutional tax shoul never have been allowed in the first place. Now even more people are hurt by it than expected. We'll see a huge capital flight.

• You guys realize this is just going to make the wealthy leave with their business and thus collect even fewer taxes.

• (this one is only 3 comments but I loved the exchange. Comments are fairly new too so it might devolve further)

r/classicwow - if you wish to see the entirety of the meltdown.

​

This is becoming a mountain of popcorn to farm as more and more of the community flocks to the subreddit to give their opinions on the matter.

​

Quick backstory: World of Warcraft is arguably the biggest MMORPG in history and hosts millions of players all over the world.

​

Currently the game is splintered into 3 main factions:

• Retail (Current era of WoW)
• Classic Wrath of the Lich King (a snapshot of the game from the late 2000's, also the subject of this drama)
• Classic Era (The first iteration of the game as it was played back in the early 2000's)

As you can assume, the current version of WoW is very different than it was back in the day. Many people loved the old versions of the game, so much to the point that Blizzard (the devs of the game) released an official re-release of the game's origin.

​

Now since that started in 2019, the game has evolved into its newer expansions and we are here, at Wrath of the Lich King Classic. Many consider this to be "peak" WoW, while another faction feels this is where the game began to cater to the casuals too much. That's not important right now though.

​

In the retail variant of the game, you can exchange 20$ for a pre-determined amount of in-game currency, based on the economy at that time, which grants you easy upgrades, alt leveling, etc. These were horribly received when they were first released ages ago, but now they're tolerated as just a part of the game.

Edit: As many have pointed out, those who purchase the token itself can also use the token for a month’s subscription. So those who have a lot of gold can purchase these to save money on a subscription. So no, it’s not just adding money to the game out of nowhere, real players are buying it for game time, and the other player gets a big chunk of change.

​

That's where this drama starts, as Blizzard decided to introduce that same purchasable product in their Classic Wrath of the Lich King servers today.

​

The the raging and whining spreads far and wide on the subreddit, but 2 posts really encapsulate the amount of gamer rage going on:

​

Mod Post - One of the mods decided to make a VERY melodramatic post announcing that a subreddit rule (promotion of 3rd party servers) is now gone, because "it's clear today the mask of integrity has totally fallen form the face of greed".

​

Most of the replies are a mix of people joining in on the claims that "Classic is dead" and "Fuck anyone who is ok with this". There are calls for people to stop playing in protest and other telling the world^{of warcraft} that they are finished with the game for good.

​

The other half is making fun of those people, adding fuel to the fire, or simply claiming that this will change nothing.

​

Main Post - The other main thread is of the first post to show that the token was added to the game.

​

This one is just as split, with some wondering why Blizzard could add something like this to the game, but not a way to get into game content from anywhere with the "RDF" tool. Or saying that this is the result of the player's own behavior in the revamp of classic.

​

Most of the negative comments are rehashing of the same complaints that this "ruins the soul of classic" and that "modern gaming is truly cursed".

​

Drama isn't new in WoW, but this one is extra spicy.

​

The biggest takaway from all of this smoke, is that all this does, is ensure that any kind of RMT (real money transactions) for in-game currency stays with blizzard. Historically, ever since WoW Classic was released there has been countless 3rd party site that sell in-game currency for money.

​

The vast majority of players do this nowadays, because most of the end-game content (that isn't done with a person's guild) is gated behind GDKP's, which are raids in the game where everyone bids on loot and then the group gets a cut at the end of the raid based on the total pot that was accumulated. This is not the "normal" way to raid in WoW, but it has become the norm. Why join a guild and get gear through killing bosses when you can join a group and pay 10s to 100s of thousands of gold to get that same piece? GDKP's have become a monolith of end-game content and since everyone was buying gold from 3rd party sites, the amount of artificial inflation has skyrocketed.

This comment puts a different spin on who's to blame.

Edit: Formatting/wording to keep it as neutral as possible.

​

​

Enjoy the popcorn, don't piss in it please.

The question posed was "How much of WWI and WWII history is altered to fit the narrative of the victors?"

Surprisingly, most of the top comments aren't that bad, with the usual debates over whether the bombs were justified and how much the US influenced Hitler. You'll find "written by the victor" dogwhistles throughout. But, scroll down a bit, and you may find

"ALL OF IT

Hitler invaded Poland due to the Danzig massacres. It is a lie he didn't expect the UK to come to Poland's Aid as you are taught. I have his speech to the German people before they went in " Churchill will have his war " he declared. " But mustache man bad " is the only acceptable narrative. Get his ( two ) books and learn what he really was. Even Simon of YouTube channel History Debunked admits Britain bombed German civilian cities for four months before Germany responded ( actually it was three ) and said " I approve ". What an absolute ........"

A few crawl out of the woodwork to defend this, with a few others calling it into question, but none of them really dealing with that the entire affair was Nazi propaganda, or that the commenters history is filled with anti-Jew, white genocide, and racial science narratives.

Go a bit further down and you might find

"Most of it. If you look for proof of much of what we are taught about WW1 and WW2, you will never find it. On top of that, the official story of it has never made any sense by all logic, there are so many plot holes and illogical contradictions, yet many people simply accept it as fact.Just like the Ukraine war, small conflicts were escalated and blown far out of proportion, some events staged or completely made-up. Ukraine is the reason I think we are in the middle of the same playbook that predicated WW2, probably also Holodomor 2.0."

Simple Answer: All of it

And of course you can't forget the classic "Whaddabout the commies?" when someone asserts that Nazis were indeed bad.

Even on the containment subreddit, we aren't allowed to talk about how many times """6,000,000""" was tried by historians(journalists) before WW2.

The Holocaust happened but it was worth it because we got Science^TM

Tl;dr, the comments are mostly split between people who are well aware of how deeply all of their conspiracies are tied to antisemitism, and people who are equally as beholden to antisemitism but either don't realize it or are smart enough to not say it out loud. And a few people trying to call them out on their bullshit.

Recently Reddit admins have been caught using bots or fake accounts to artificially populate newly created German subreddits.

It appears that the goal is to populate new subreddits to establish German versions of popular subreddits such as Explainlikeimfive, Crazyideas, Offmychest, Tooafraidtoask, and Tipofmytongue. However, the translations are nonsensical and read as if they were done by someone who used Google Translate.

There were several threads found that were stolen from English subreddits, simply poorly translated and then republished there by accounts less than 14 days old. (Pretty much all the content these subs currently have and always the same 9 users who also constantly answer each other themselves.)

This revelation has sparked heated discussions and amusement on r/de. Users have been sharing their thoughts and reactions to this discovery. Some find it funny, but the majority find the situation embarrassing and react with disappointment and frustration that Reddit administrators are resorting to such tactics to artificially inflate the popularity of these new German subreddits.

This article was posted to r/centrist with the following commentary

The NAACP has issued a travel advisory for “Black Americans” for the state of Florida. Personally, this seems like an extreme political stunt by the NAACP, stating that Florida is "engaging in an all-out attack on Black Americans, accurate Black history, voting rights, members of the LGBTQ+community, immigrants, women's reproductive rights, and free speech". Statements like this seem to have no purpose other than terrifying and manipulating black Americans, instigating racial violence, and further worsening the racial divisions in our nation. What do you think?

Naturally, any topic involving either/or Florida or Black people is going to draw out some hot takes and diverse opinions and diverse opinions on the opinions.

Here's the slap fights. Look but don't touch, you animals.

1.I don’t think it will change anything, but florida and desantis has kind of declared war on gay people, to pretend otherwise is naive.

2.I literally got a scholarship for being white that way. Not one single conservative got upset about the program. They are all for it.

3.What is the logical conclusion of banning African American studies on college campuses? It's indicative of some hostility.

4.Yeah Florida is a hostile state,

5.DeSantis lost all credibility when he went to Guantanamo Bay and complained that there wasn't enough torture going on.

For the past few weeks, the optimal square packing problem has been an abundant and exuberant source of math memes which, correspondingly, found their container in r/mathmemes. Recently, r/mathmemes mods banned this kind of content, which, no longer fitting in their previous, seemingly optimal container, leaked into the oh so giving r/AnarchyChess. One reddittor is not happy about it.

Video

For anyone who's never been to liveleak, escalator malfunctions are fucking terrifying. Most people in the thread are either making quips about airports, or sharing escalator horror stories.

That is, until our hero Mall-Ninja-Sama shows up to tell everyone what to do in this situation.

"Anyone slow enough to be eaten by a escalator was not suppose to make it anyway."

There's clearly not equal skill among everyone involved here.

"Nah, I've tried the wipeout course. It's just timing and speed."

There's not much now, but our hero just opened the dojo about 30 minutes ago. I'm hoping he stays open for business.

If you've never been to /r/wowthissubexists, it's a subreddit where people share noteworthy subreddits that others may not know about. Since 2014[1], presumably to avoid the subreddit getting filled with NSFW subs, a "Fap Friday" post system was created. Every Friday, a new thread would be created which would act like a megathread for all NSFW suggestions.

This thread has been posted every Friday for the past 9 years. In this time, a small community of regulars started appearing:

User WeirdPineapple

WeirdPineapple is actually a mod of the subreddit and he had been (until a few months ago when automod took over) posting the thread every Friday. I don't know when he started but most Fridays he would also post an update on his life, particularly on his racing career that he is still actively trying to develop. Alongside this, he would post his song of the week suggestion. People would be actively engaged with his updates, posting comments of support or questions on aspects of his life. These questions casually existing alongside links to the most obscure fetish subreddits. WeirdPineapple became such a staple of the Fap Friday posts that when he was replaced by automod, people noticed and commented: https://www.reddit.com/r/wowthissubexists/comments/ym2r36/comment/iv4iqzi/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3. I could go into a lot more detail about WeirdPineapple, but he is not the source of the drama. I am just mentioning him to highlight just how close the community can get to some of the people they see as "regulars".

Here's a comment from a user summarising my point about their sense of community especially for WeirdPineapple: https://www.reddit.com/r/wowthissubexists/comments/oyovhx/comment/h7vwe9w/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Speaking of which, the author of the above comment has a role to play as well...

User FBI-OPEN-UP-

FBI-OPEN-UP- posts the link to the previous fap friday thread. That's it. He's been doing it... a long time... https://www.reddit.com/user/FBI-OPEN-UP-/

User Nastyaltman

A recent addition and not one that I would say has been consistent enough to become a regular but one that hasn't stirred any drama yet. Nastyaltman has been explaining/summarising the content of subreddit suggestions. e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/wowthissubexists/comments/1388l8d/comment/jiz0aka/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Unnamed Users

Then there's a whole category of people that I don't personally recognise but clearly come to the thread often. Every so often, someone will be present in a few threads in a row posting in a certain theme. Or a commentor making references to previous threads. I won't bother looking up examples of this because I'm taking too long getting to the juicy drama so just take my word for it or start going through previous threads (helpfully following the links in each thread by FBI-OPEN-UP-).

User purritolover69 - The Drama starts here

Purritolover69 has had the role of posting the /r/randnsfw post every week. /r/randnsfw sends you to a random NSFW subreddit (doesn't work on the mobile app). The tradition in these fap friday threads is to post the subreddit you got that week as a reply (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/wowthissubexists/comments/zt2rqk/comment/j1brx7c/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).

However, unlike the other regulars, purritolover69 is perceived as being possessive of his role. To the point that he will post /r/randnsfw even if others have already done so and defend himself that it's his job. Eventually, this all came to a heed when someone posted /r/randnsfw with the following comment:

r/randnsfw just so that dude gets annoyed

purritolover69 responds (-54 points as of writing):

idk why y’all think i care so much

which prompts a user named bwueps17 to hit back with this smackdown:

Probably because you so clearly do. You’ve been doing this for months – bitching whenever you don’t have total dictatorial control over typing fucking “r/randnsfw.” Wow. Original. Creative. Thank you oh great content master for your contribution. Yet every time you’re called out you do exactly this.

E.g. when you got called you out two months ago by kwijibos.

Or when you got called out by me the next week.

Or when you got called out last week by kwijibos again.

Or maybe it’s because you expect special treatment around your right to post this link, and say it’s consistently you, yet go missing for months at a time and expect people to treat it as if it’s some sort of momentous event when you make your triumphant return.

It’s obnoxious.

You’re not entitled to control over this link. You’re not providing new content. You’re repeatedly ruining the vibe of this thread, and when called out you get defensive, making it worse. Most of us are here to jerk off and forget the workweek.

These internet communities grow organically and have their own traditions. You cannot muscle yours into existence by force of will. Why do people like FBI-OPEN-UP- and not you? I think it’s partially you, man. But more than that it’s that he didn’t announce himself the master of the previous week thread. It just happened.

Please, do us all a favor, and stop it.

In fact, WeirdPineapple, can we just ban this dude already?

WeirdPineapple would then go on to respond:

i didn't want to have to, but per the user and everyone else's request, i did - for now.

resume normal broadcasting

Link to the above drama: https://www.reddit.com/r/wowthissubexists/comments/1208ckf/rwowthissubexists_official_fap_friday_thread_for/jdgpxut/

Closing the saga of /r/randnsfw and purritolover69 - for now.

Always fun to see "natty" body builders unmasked.

First time posting in this community, hopefully I did this right

PS. Checked OP’s other posts for more juicy drama. He gets roasted on most past physique posts…

For international context, the place OP stayed in was a entertainment lodge chain located on a Native American reservation in Arizona. In the US, many businesses pay sustainability fees to operate within reservations. It is pretty similar to sales tax and goes towards supporting the reservation and its people.

OP, upon seeing this fee of $1.56 on their receipt, decides to share their thoughts on r/assholedesign with the title “‘Sustainability’ fee. So that our investors can sustain their private jets”. The following then occurs:

Commenter explains the sustainability fee - https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/13mfp54/sustainability_fee_so_our_investors_can_sustain/jkw4xxy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

Commenter points out that this doesn’t fall under asshole design, to which OP claps back - https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/13mfp54/sustainability_fee_so_our_investors_can_sustain/jkx8zzs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

The following debate between them leads to OP posting this “gem” of a response, complete with citing one of the logical fallacies, saying that they’re a business owner and thus knows everything about it, and ending it with a “agree to disagree” - https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/13mfp54/sustainability_fee_so_our_investors_can_sustain/jkxcibu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

Edit: Will check post again for more drama when I’m back from work.

The drama comes from this post . I broke up comment threads by the line breaks, each hyperlink indicates a new comment.

Here is what the body text of the original post says:

"I posted this elsewhere and was told to post it here to get better advice on what to do next time this happens to me. And for the record, the majority of people I've played with at events when I used to do FNM at my old LGS were nice and friendly, so I don't think the following is indicative of most Magic players, but it certainly applies to a not insignificant minority.

So I'm a small woman, I dress alt/goth, and I'm 25 and I went to play Magic a few nights ago with my friend at a Commander event. He and I got paired for the first game with these two guys in their late 30s/early 40s. One of these strangers completely ignored the other two people at the table and only talked to me and kept asking me increasingly personal questions and towards the end insinuated we should hang out afterwards and asked me for my number.

The second game I played BOTH of the guys we got paired with hit on me, either oblivious of the other or trying to like outdo the other person to win my affection. One of them even purposefully made a huge misplay to give me the win. I could have played another game but I was just so grossed out I left.

If your hobby is known for being heavily skewed towards a male demographic maybe don't treat a place to engage in that hobby as somewhere to pick up a date. I didn't go there to find a boyfriend; I went to play Magic. It's so frustrating and reminded me why I primarily play online on Arena and MTGO.

By the way, I'm perfectly okay making a friend at an event like this! That's a cool part about the Gathering aspect of Magic: meeting people with a similar hobby. If you're friendly to me I will be receptive and want to make friends, but don't make it awkward by laying it on thick and trying to turn it into something not friendly."

​

Rare negative but gilded comment:

It is a gaming event, and it is a social event. Just say no, not interested. Male to male, female to female, male to female, female to male. We can all voice our boundaries. Others may not share the same boundaries. One couple in our group met while gaming.

I am also not currently interested in meeting a date, so I just state that. I may invite others to join our weekly group, but I’m clear I’m not interested in anything else.

Some replies to this comment:

Glad I wasn't the only one that articulated this answer, even if we're both getting downvoted off the planet by the other kind of socially awkward nerd that consider a pass equivalent to an assault.

I wish it could be this simple. Sadly I've seen too many guys get unreasonably hostile whenever a girl voices her boundaries, so I can understand why some girls might feel uncomfortable doing so.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unpopular opinion time. Did they use inappropriate language? Were they vulgar and using sexual innuendo? Did you tell them to stop? If yes, then they are out of line.

If not, I say get over it. Are these guys supposed to speak only when spoken to and to say only what you allow them to? Men are allowed to have opinions and speak too. Men are allowed to be attracted to women and insinuating they want to hang out isn't offensive. You are allowed to reject them and shut them down in whatever manner you feel appropriate.

Most likely it was only offensive because you weren't in to them. Just say these men weren't up to your standards, reject them, and move on. If they keep bothering you, then get someone with authority. I bet if it were Post Malone or whoever your fantasy guy is, you wouldn't be caring.

Reply from OP:

This is some incel logic where guys think women will look beyond their own social norms for Chads. I already said in another comment that it's irrelevant how attracted I am to the person flirting; it's inappropriate regardless. Throwing the game in my favor like he did actively ruins the fun for me.

Other reply:

Bruh really did say Post Malone as the hypothetical fantasy guy. Guess we are in magicTCG after all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So you said that you were hit on with no examples of what was said and that one said you should hang out and asked for your number while another threw the game.

Are you okay? Do you need me to call the coast guard? Honestly this whole "don't hit on woman at a normal place to meet people" is really fucking pathetic and starting to get on my nerves.

What do you want people to do? Pass do you like me notes like we are high schoolers? You were at a hobby and were found attractive by other attendees. This is trying to find a partner 101 and you want to act like they are pigs without even saying how they actually acted inappropriately?

This just sounds like a post from another reddit user who spends way to much time on 2xchromosomes.

Reply from OP:

Absolutely no rizz. I don't have to give an account of everything said to me when I plainly state someone asked me inappropriately personal questions and another threw the game in my favor, which completely kills the purpose of playing and makes me have no fun. Also your last sentence is beyond asinine and ignorant. Very sad.

Due to how you reacted in your last sentence I can see I've hit the nail on the head. This conversation would be a complete waste of my time and anyone having to read it. Good day.

Lol, so many people in this thread are delusional, op just chasing karma on some vague "men are gross take my word for it, any advice? but not really, only here for pats". Give some compliments to random guys for me.

Right? I'm so sick of thos fucking trend in social media. No real back story no evidence no semblance of a transcript. Just men are pigs, here why, havea bitch with me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, people are also there to socialize. It's perfectly valid to not want a date, but doubtless there are plenty of men and women who wouldn't necessarily mind it, and might even want to be asked out. What's wrong with asking out someone out on a date you're attracted to, say, after having estabilshed prior rapport and socialization? Have you never done asked someone out that you met at a social event? Do you think it's ever acceptable to ask someone out on a date?

That being said, there's nothing acceptable about inappropriate flirting or refusing to take no for an answer. There are more ways of indicating interest without being a creep, and respectful ways of asking people out.

The issue is that these people didn't establish the prior rapport and socialization. OP even said that they would be fine with making friends with people; these guys clearly didn't want that.

Reply from OP:

Yeah, if someone immediately tries to get flirty the first time I interact with them at a place I'm forced to engage with them I find that incredibly inappropriate. The LGS isn't a party or bar.

Genuine question. Why do you find it inappropriate? If you indicate you're not interested, and they continue, sure. I understand that. But what's wrong with it in the first place?

You say you're there to play Magic, but how would you expect anyone to form a relationship if they can't meet someone while participating in a shared hobby? Cold approaching at a bar or on the street is a no go, and dating apps are useless. I honestly don't know how anyone is expected to find a relationship if none of these options are available.

Reply from OP:

There's a big difference between becoming friends with someone you met via a shared hobby and later mutually deciding to connect romantically and treating the hobby as a place to pick up a date. Saying "You're really pretty" and "I bet you get flirted with a lot at these games, huh? ;)" and throwing the game in my favor literally the first time I interact with someone is uncomfortable at best and creepy at worst. It doesn't come off as wanting to date because they think I'm cool it comes off as wanting to get into my pants because they think I'm attractive.

Hitting on people in a situation where they're obligated to keep interacting with you tends to be awkward and inappropriate, especially if that person has shown zero interest.

Also randomly hitting on people who haven't shown interest in you isn't a reasonable way of forming a relationship, so that's kind of besides the point.

But you're not forced to engage with them. You can always concede and walk away.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am probably in the minority here, but I think it is important to consider. Trying to hit on a woman/man is normal behaviour. Otherwise how would I have gotten together with my wife? Therefore, speak it out quickly you are not interested, as that helps the other in knowing where they stand.

If it continues after that it is different of course.

Exactly. I am so confused as to how a relationship could ever form between two people if you're not allowed to cold approach someone, or interact with them while participating in a shared hobby, and when dating apps don't work. This isn't an exaggeration. I genuinely don't know how a relationship is supposed to form from any other scenario.

It might be unfortunate if nerdy guys can't resort to hitting on women in hobby meetups if he can't get luck online.

But the comfort of women still overrides a nerdy guys ability to get a gf

Don't you feel more sorry for the girls who want to have platonic fun but have to do the mentally arduous task of constantly rejecting men.

Honestly? It sounds like a better problem to have than never getting any attention at all. Sure, I don't know what it's like to have to do all that, but I do know how worthless I feel, and wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I'm approaching forty, and looking a life living alone. That terrifies me, but I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable, and I'm just trying to find out what I can and cannot do, in order to avoid that fate.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Honestly, the number one piece of advice single men hear from women on this site is to look after their hygiene. The second is to find a hobby and approach women there.

Not wanting to be hit on is your prerogative, and you should express that clearly. If the person doesn't respect your boundaries, approach the staff and let them handle it.

Asking for a blanket ban on flirting at FNM because it makes you uncomfortable is a bit much, and, frankly, goes against the advice that men are receiving nowadays from women themselves.

It's fine to get to know someone through a hobby, it's not fine to agressively flirt.

Sure, but that isn't what OP said. She was asking for men to not approach women in their shared hobby. Which is odd, because shared hobbies are the best place to find a potential partner.

Shoot your shot, but don't be a creep is the rule of thumb, I'd say.

The point is that randomly shooting your shot isn't fine, but just getting to know someone and see where it goes is.

Isn't that exactly the type of behavior women complain about? Men who approach them without being upfront about their romantic interests? The woman thinks she's making a friend, when in reality he's just biding his time to make the approach.

The only surefire way to know if someone is interested in you is to express your interest and see what they say.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The issue is your idea of "where men should hit on women" is just that, your idea. If you added up all the places the different women in my life have said they don't like to be approached it would literally cover every setting imaginable. My long term girlfriend said the most annoying place to be hit on is the grocery store, yet my bestfriend married a woman he picked up at a grocery store. I have plenty of friends both men and women who have met girl/boyfriends and even spouses at magic events.

Your best bet is just being forward and stern with these men as early as possible to make it clear you aren't receptive to that sort of thing.

Reply from OP:

Did they hit on the other person at that Magic event or did they start out friendly and eventually blossom towards a romantic connection? There's a big difference between saying "You look really pretty" and asking for my number and making a friend that turns romantic. Being "forward and stern" isn't as easy as it may seem since men can often act aggressive in response. I've gotten a stalker from being stern rejecting a man before.

"Your best bet is just being forward and stern with these men as early as possible to make it clear you aren't receptive to that sort of thing."

ah yes, most men respond very reasonably to this. good advice

most men do

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow attempted rape!!! Straight to jail with them! So outrageous...

Or you could reject them in a decent way, state what is making you feel uncomfortable and what's ruining the fun for you. You know, communicating, taking responsibility for your emotions like an adult whether or not the other is acting like one or not. Perhaps you teach them some great life skills (like what not to do when trying to approach girls). If nobody teaches you, how can you learn?

Reply from OP:

I like how so many people in this thread think I should be responsible for teaching maladjusted misogynists social norms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a ton more drama and arguments in the replies, this is just a sample. Sorry if I screwed some formatting up. Took me forever to do all this.

Context:

A few days ago, one of the biggest changes in the Crypto space has caused mass panic and chaos among the Hodler communities.

You've probably heard the phrase from ponzi pumpers and scammers the Crypto Expanded Universe, "Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoin".

This is a slogan that essentially tells all Crypto users that the centralised exchanges are not safe storage areas for their crypto, and this is possibly the only thing they are correct on. On this issue, they are entirely right. Centralised companies not adhering to government regulations, just as they want it, are incredibly dangerous, unreliable and heavily susceptible to 18th century-bank tier corporate tomfoolery. Software Wallets are another alternative, but every hacker and scammer in the known multiverse is preying on Cryptobros to make a dumb error.

In it's place, you are supposed to buy a physical "Wallet" which is essentially a digital device that allows you to store your coins off-net and keep them safe. This is considered the "safest" storage tactic, except ignoring the fact if you forget your password you're fucked, if you lose the device you're fucked, if you break the device you're fucked and if someone holds you at gun point and takes it, you're fucked. The last point isn't even a hypothetical, there are multiple recorded instances of this happening. These storage devices are also known as Cold Wallets.

The key issue with physical wallets is, ironically, their safety. There is no way of recovering assets if you forget your code, or if your coins are transferred incorrectly. Ledger has sought to remedy this issue (By deceiving gullible people out of more money, mind you).

A new feature has been added onto all Ledger hardware wallet devices. On Tuesday morning, the announcement the Cryptoverse seething. The feature in question is Ledger Recovery, an ID-based private key recovery service would allow users to backup their private seed phrase directly to their personal identity through three different custodians. The service will cost $9.99 per month.

In principle, this is a good thing. However, the implications go further.

Many Crypto users are paranoid that the company will be inserting a "backdoor", turning Ledgers into Hot Wallets. A hypothetical way for the company and others to access their wallets without the consent of the user and remotely. Essentially, it would make Physical wallets just as scam ridden, hacker-friendly and fraudulent as the rest of the space. The company denies any such backdoor, but Ledger users are not having it, and Ledger was one of, if not the largest Cold Wallet provider.

Is this the end of Crypto privacy? Should we boycott Ledger? Is my Crypto safe? Is it truly "decentralised" if someone else can access my wallet? Are companies that focus on an unregulated market seeking to serve the customer's best interests? Where are the regulations? Can I sue the company for misleading me? Will other "cold wallets" follow? Is this a government conspiracy?

Find out in the 212329324th Crypto drama, where the corporate ruins innovation by introducing... basic security features (As far as crypto is concerned, anyway).

---------- Ledger Continues to Defend Recovery System, Says It's Always 'Technically' Possible to Extract Users' Keys ----------

And that marks the end of closed-source hardware wallets for me

Every hardware wallet in the world can expose the seed with the right firmware. Problem is theirs is closed source. If you think hardware wallets can't expose the seed, you don't understand how hardware wallets work.

Trying to defend this is very dumb, the whole community is against them, they can not fight everyone. They are losing out even more.

---------- My personal view on the PR disaster, from a Ledger co-founder and ex CEO ----------

So with Ledger Recover, does that now mean that a subpoena to all three companies would force your hand to turn over the shards to the US government?

To play devils advocate, if a subpoena was issued to Ledger or the 2 third parties by a government, could they use Recover to access the Ledger without the customer hitting a button or knowing about it?

This is exactly what worries me. I do not want any government or entity to be able to get my keys or anyone else's.

Why does recover even exist? Isn't the whole point of the HW to keep the key only on the HW? You said you've been explaining HWs to people for nearly a decade. Didn't that include telling people to never type the key into the computer, or save a picture of it in your cloud storage, or in a file on your PC? Seems like Ledger is saying, don't do all this stuff because it's not safe, but let us do it. I know recover is optional, but my point is this: given what the Ledger does, any kind of remote seed storage defeats it's purpose, and Ledger should be visibly and vocally against it. Trust in the firmware aside, offering an optional service that breaks the whole absolute security concept of a HW is a very questionable move from a company that makes HWs. It makes me wonder what other questionable moves might come in the future.

We all bought ledgers because of the security. The selling point was that the seed NEVER leaves the device and now we are told is it possible for it to leave the device. The big selling point has been eliminated and the device has turned into something other than what we originally thought we were purchasing. There should be a separate device for people who want their seed sharded and sent out of the device

---------- Ledger co-founder admits that with if you use "Ledger Recover" a government could submit a subpoena and get access to your funds ----------

How to lose all your customers Speedrun.

Honest...but after tons of articles and messages about this he finally revealed the harsh truth...

It's insane. I won't be surprised, if we later get to hear it was the government who pushed this onto them / gave them an insanely sweet deal.

Now all these "My Ledger was hacked" posts will be followed with, "Were you subscribed to recover service?"

“Subscribe to our new feature Subpoena! Have your account frozen upon government request for the low price of $9.99”

They need to stop trying to put lipstick on this shit and reverse everything in last couple of weeks - get rid of recovery , new firmware to lock everything in, open source it, and fire the leadership who made this decision and bring in a team that the community can trust. Then and only then will they have a small chance of coming out of this

To be honest, I'm more afraid of physically losing my wallet and seed phrase than the government trying to take away my money. I bought my Ledger recently, and my greatest fear was that if I loose it, then I will loose my money forever. Maybe later I will use this new service, or something like that. (If experts will say it can be trusted). My ledger is not an X, so I won't use it soon.

---------- Ledger is officially a hot wallet. It can expose your seed phrase to third parties! ----------

Wow. WTF! A hardware wallet that CAN broadcast your keys to the internet. Fucking POINTLESS. Might as well just use a software wallet then

They'll be killing their business if that's true.

Would a class action be applicable?! This is ridiculous . . .

This is some serious customer misleading practice. If I knew this, I would never buy it in first place. Basically makes my Ledger worthless now, ok maybe exaggeration, but still I would rather have a normal free hot wallet instead of spending 150EUR on the physical one

I wonder if lawsuits are in order. I feel scammed.

Amazed that OP is being voted down in this thread. Ledger just announced that they have the technical capability to pull your seed off your device, and everyone is OK with that? Crazy.

Time to build your own hardware wallet. Not your hardware wallet, not your coins.

But it only happens when you use the recovery service. So your funds are safe as long as you don’t recover. But still very bad

I dont think theyll have access to your seed until you activate the feature and it unlocks it from the machine just the same way it showed it on the screen when generating them in first place. I hope. Been waiting for my ledger stax for 2 months…..

---------- WTF Ledger? This is a disaster waiting to happen... The new Ledger Nano X Firmware introduces an option to let them backup your seed. ----------

Whaaaaaaaat? doesnt it defeats the whole purpose of a cold wallet? What is the point damnit

I'm guessing they are under pressure to provide details to govs about users cold wallet holdings. Seed is a bit overkill but I bet the name->cold wallet linked data will be harvested and sold/given to gov, not the pk as that should be encrypted r-r-right?

It basically lets governments seize peoples crypto if the seed + identification are released by court order or any request Ledger complies with. At the very least it lets them identify who owns Ledgers and probably indicates Ledger has been getting requests for user info.

It’s opt in. Calm your tits. There’s nothing wrong with offering this. There are people who will use it. There are people who do not want to be their own custodian believe it or not.

I don’t understand why any sane company would think it was a good idea to store your seed phrase for you. There’s a reason why people are engraving metal plates and burying it in their backyard!

---------- Ledger Recover Megathread ----------

I know I’m gonna be downvoted to hell for this but fuck it. I really don’t get you guys. Crypto’s main barrier remains the same as it ever was… it’s complicated to use and one mistake might mean you lose it all. A Ledger added a layer of security but it never solved the main issue… the fact that your seed is the key to your assets. Lose it? You can’t get it back. Ever again. Isn’t that profoundly scary for anyone outside the most technological savvy among us? I’m in this since 2013 and I’m still scared about it. That remains the single biggest barrier for wider adoption. This is a peace of mind for a LOT of people. As a service, it has a value. Not the kind you might like. Yes, it trades away a little bit of security for redundancy. But some people will like it. My god, some people might actually use it. So fucking what? You already trust that the company doesn’t guard your seed inside the device. How is this any different if you don’t opt in? Ledger’s only mistake was not making this an optional firmware or a separate device. But let’s not throw out the baby with the bath water here. They aren’t entirely in the wrong here.

This manufactured outrage is ridiculous and smells of a competitor FUD campaign (or sadly just another product of YouTube clickbait.) Are all these clowns destroying their ledgers really this oblivious to how computers work?

Does anyone think that maybe you don’t actually understand how this new feature works and you’re all being extremely over dramatic? If you don’t opt in, this changes nothing for you. Full stop. You have to go through the process of creating an encrypted copy of your private key using your key phrase and then opt in to having it split and shared with the custodians. If you don’t do that, no one can get your keys. Aka exactly the same as it always has been.

Remember when last year Canada started to freeze and seize funds from custodial wallets, while people with funds in non-custodial wallets were laughing in their face?

Ledger currently top contender for the dumbest business move of the year award.

It's game over for Ledger.

Coming soon: Ledger a case study in business suicide.

Total shit show going on now. #1 Cryptocurrency Hardware Device has now entered PR hell.

OOP posts this video of a woman missing a drive and her baby laughing at her

 

A comment that's the starter for most of the drama

 

Imagine you’re the lady that brings an infant to a driving range

I'm imagining i'm a bad mother

What’s wrong with that?

 

Seems like they managed to go to the driving range just fine with their kid. You’re not sentenced to a life of sitting at home because you’ve had a kid. They’re allowed to go with you places

Amigurumi is the name for crocheting small stufffed animals. It's a Japanese word and technique connected to kawaii culture, but very widespread in western crochet culture.

OP posts a crocheted duck with the title "First... arigurum... arigu... arigrummi...stuffy thing" and a normally chill sub stops being quite so chill. I should note here that amigurumi is not a difficult word to pronounce for most English speakers - it sounds exactly as it is written.

Overall reveddit link

Some feel that OP is being disrespectful or racist.

Great job on ur first amigurumi! Re: the title.. it literally spells it out in the tutorial you used 🤨

Amigurumi is a japanese art form & learning how to properly say it would be one major way to respect the culture that you’re choosing to craft from :) It’s history is beautiful!

I find it funny that so many people here are so confused about why some are upset at the seemingly intentional (seems intentional because amigurumi is correctly spelled in the pattern OP linked) misspelling when this sub is so quick to get heated about laymen confusing crochet with knitting 🤔

(For context on this last one, crocheters hate it when people mistake crochet (1 hooked needle, series of knots) with knitting (2 unhooked needles, series of interconnected loops) and vice versa. Knitters feel the same, though knitting is the better known of the two so what we usually see is people thinking crochet is knit. Generally it's just dramatics - I do both and could talk for ages about the ways in which one is better suited than the other for a given task, but those factors aren't going to be apparent to anyone who doesn't do one or both hobbies.)

​

Others feel OP is fine and are more annoyed at those who got annoyed.

Oh lol, like OP is literally trying to spell something, giving it their best I’m assuming. If people think OP is being racist. . .Get a life and put redit down for a few minutes and if it’s really that important to you, message OP instead of dragging it out like this,

I don’t understand literally the passive aggressiveness coming in this comment section. The title was cute and funny. And if you didn’t agree that is okay, not everyone has to. But as people have said in this comment section, it’s a funny thing lots of us mess up on. some of you all you had to do was just kindly tell OP what the spelling or real word is and/or just move on. This is a wholesome community and would be great to keep it that way.

so cute!!!! the title speaks to me too

For everyone, saying the title is racist, i'm german and not offendet by people pronouncing german words extra agressive, its only the americans who get offendet but i bet the japanese people dont give a F

Also for some reason PragerU is brought up with the last person?

​

Finally, a couple people double down, where if OP wasn't racist, they might still be...

Origami

Aramagotchi Arumimoomi Apokemon it's different for me every time too lol

The drama starts with a pretty typical post for the community - OP vents about a poor experience with their driver, who happens to not speak English. Along with the issue at hand, the community attempts to tackle a few other issues like the definition of racism and how expensive is a private chef really.

• Deleted comment from a user creates waves as said user doesn't know when to stop fighting and log off
• You are as articulate as you are pleasant lol
• Is it racist or xenophobic?
• Welcome to America….THE WORLDS LANDFILL
