Damn. Just leave. 'Never forget' is not really a sentiment that fits. It's just a shitty website, not the fucking Twin Towers.

3.0 is what I see. However I scrolled through hundreds of reviews sorted by "most relevant" and they were nearly all 1 star.

It crossed my mind. I know I could write some insidious code. Ultimately I don't have time for that nonsense.

The income gap between executive and median salary employees is around 32,000%. I guess the question is, what planet do you live on where a system that allows for this kind of inequity is okay?

I want revenge.

You want to hear something fucked up? After nearly 10 years in Reddit, one day I suddenly started receiving daily death threats and HEAVY bot spamming on this tiny little sub I was moderating. So naturally I reached out to the mod support sub for help. Then this bot/spammer started flooding my post on their sub which actually felt great—they were getting a taste of what I had been dealing with. The post ended up with well over 500 comments from this piece of shit. So instead of help me out, you know what they did? They banned me from the mod support subreddit.

I had a conversation with one of the admins who basically told me they don't care about death threats. Furthermore, this spammer had also admitted to murdering people. Again the admin didn't care. Till the day I left they were unable to stop this one person from creating hundreds, maybe even thousands of accounts and spamming tons of people including myself. A billion dollar company can't even control their own product. The bots literally own Reddit. Lol. Fuck them, all of them who stayed.

And that's real nice.

Well now that I have "fuck you" money there's a few things on my mind.

First, I'm going to eat at a lot of restaurants. I'm going to enjoy my meals too. Through the whole meal I'm going to be buying iced milks for another random patron. I'm going to make sure the waiter is aware that this good gesture needs to be anonymous and I will make sure that as long as the waiter keeps delivering the iced milks I will keep adding $1000 onto their tip. These iced milks will not stop coming until there is nowhere left for the patron to reasonably sit. This waiter will not have to work for a long time afterwards.

Second, I'm going to buy a shit ton of gold bricks. Like the big one's you envision are in Fort Knox, also known as "Good Delivery" bars. I'm also going to hire an elite team of private security forces whose sole job will be to transport that gold in plain sight everywhere that I happen to go. If by chance my gold is not allowed with me into an establishment, then I will just attempt to buy the place right there on the spot. If that doesn't work, then my team will take the gold and wait with it on public property.

Pretty sure that $1b is long gone by now, but finally I'm going to be throwing parades—a lot of parades. I will have permits for parades on the streets in front of the houses of all my enemies. These will take place at the most inconvenient possible times that my team of schedulers, planners, and event organizers will be able to find. I will have the dumbest fucking floats in these parades and the shittiest marching bands. I will not stop until I'm sufficient conviced I have broken the spirit of my enemies.

This is why they won't give me money.

Fuck Reddit and fuck everyone running it. During my last months there I was subject to continuous harassment and explicit death threats from one specific troll. When I brought this to the admins, they told me pound sand. They didn't do a fucking thing. Nothing.

I'm very tempted to put together a dossier of all these interactions and start sending emails to marketing departments of the most common reddit advertisers and make sure they understand the platform they are using to sell shit to people.

Damn straight.

Not only is this untrue, but it is disingenuous. I suggest you do more research about tipping and service wages in general.

 
 

In a blow to tribes, a U.S. appeals court has denied a last ditch legal effort to block construction of what's expected to be the largest lithium mine in North America on federal land in Nevada.

In a decision Monday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the U.S. government did not violate federal environmental laws when it approved Lithium Nevada's Thacker Pass mine in the waning days of the Trump administration.

Lithium is a key component of electric vehicle batteries, and despite pressure from west coast Paiute tribes and environmentalists, the Biden administration did not reverse the decision and had continued to advocate for the mine, which would be located on remote federal land near the Nevada-Oregon border.

"We have always been confident that the permitting process for Thacker Pass was conducted thoroughly and appropriately," says Jonathan Evans, CEO of Lithium Americas in a statement provided to NPR. "Construction activities continue at the project as we look forward to playing an important role in strengthening America's domestic battery supply chains."

Tribes and environmental advocates tried for two years to block construction of the mine:

Several area tribes and environmental groups have tried to block or delay the Thacker Pass mine for more than two years. Among their arguments was that federal land managers fast tracked it without proper consultation with Indian Country.

"They rushed this project through during COVID and essentially selected three tribes to talk to instead of the long list of tribes that they had talked to in the past," Rick Eichstaedt, an attorney for the Burns Paiute Tribe, said in an interview late last month.

The land is considered sacred to some Native people as it's believed to be the site of at least two ancient massacres. Tribal elders still go there to conduct ceremonies and gather traditional plants.

But in their ruling, the Ninth Circuit judges responded that only after the mine was approved by federal land managers did it become known that some tribes consider the land sacred.

Full construction of the mine is expected to begin in earnest this summer.

 

Reddit doesn't actually own any of the content, right? Neither do any of the contributors? Seems like a good way to fuck Reddit.

 

This was one of my favorite communities on Reddit. It has become complete bullshit fucked up trash now, and I'm happy to be out of there.

This has been my daily stuff all month minus the pencil which remains on my desk.

Rolex Dweller

Benchmade Narrows

Okluma DC0 with custom zircuti queen bead from my friend Sasa Fabrio

Tactile Turn pencil

 

Are the same petty mods running this show? If so, please ban me immediately. I don't see how you can reconcile claiming to fight labor exploitation while at the same time giving away your labor for free to a billion dollar company.

 

Done with Reddit's bullshit, and happy to check this out as it seems to be popular. Any apps that people would recommend for this platform?
