I’m here after legging it the heck away from Reddit, and this is the post that makes me think I’m gonna like it here.
You will. It’s like Reddit 10 years ago here. Never looking back.
well, for at least a few years at least.
What made you change your opinion now?(to reddit)
Reddit hitting me with a permaban for an arbitrary reason was a strong factor. I was getting tired of how toxic the site was anyway, so, eh we’re good.
the content has gone to shit anyway. i still scroll there some to keep up with news and generally don’t find much news and way to many amiugly posts on the front page.
All I was getting on Reddit were toxic Star Wars fans who would shit on me for either liking something they didn’t or disliking something they liked, as if Fandom was a rigid set of instructions that compelled you only to like the things the Zeitgeist approved of… and all the “Reddit Atheists”
Now I have nothing against atheists, the existence of God is far more open to debate than something like the shape of the Earth.
However, Reddit Atheists are a different breed. I’m talking about the people who have unironically created a religion out of bashing religion. The “I pray to science every day! Hear the good word of Sam Harris! Lock up people who pray in insane asylums!” type. The kind who say Sky Daddy so often that those two words together make you sick.
Again, nothing against Atheists (My opinions on the validity of the supernatural are rather inconsistent, so let’s say I’m Agnostic at best.), but every group, let me repeat, EVERY GROUP has its nutters who take it to absurd extremes you never before thought possible. Reddit had a lot this specific kind of crazy.
Sam Harris has a real hardon for bashing religion which is sad considering how much Buddhism he practices (and how much his close mind and anger towards religion corrupts his practice).
Meditation is just mental masterbation and ego parlor tricks without the Dharma (the deep ocean of love and understanding we all swim in, what more enlightened Christians call God.) So much for “Waking Up”.
Which is my way of saying, militant atheists are children making a religion out of bashing people with points of view they don’t like (kinda reminds me of bible beating Christians and I’m sure they would loathe the comparison). And I too find them annoying as fuck.
so happy not to see this shitbag on All every single goddamn day
*crowder, not Calvin. Calvin is a legend.
Calvin is a legend everywhere except as that sticker of him peeing that every douchey truck owner has on the back of their truck.
That isn’t Calvin. Somebody modified a picture of Calvin filling a water baloon and created the meme. Calvin’s creator never signed off on it and actually refused to merchandise any of his characters. Peeing calvin is a travesty
That isn’t Calvin. It’s Turk McSmallcock.
The original with Crowder implied his mind couldn’t be changed because Crowder is a fucking idiot who refuses to listen to anyone but himself.
This one implies a willingness to listen and learn. Calvin was impulsive sure, but there were plenty of times he regretted his actions and wanted to learn from his mistakes. He is just an innocent child, after all.
The original one said something like “Thanksgiving isn’t racist, change my mind,” which is like… Not a thing that anybody says. The way Thanksgiving is taught to American kids is racist and full of revisionist history, but not even the ideal reddit caricature of an SJW would go around telling everyone that eating a turkey and mashed potatoes makes you racist. It was like inviting people to dEbAtE him on an issue that people aren’t really even trying to make, so he’d get to sit there like a smug asshole without having to do anything.
Edit: I remembered the wrong slogan, the original sign said something else. The Thanksgiving bit was from a video he did, iirc the title used the same “change my mind” naming convention.
I thought the original said “Male privilege is a myth”?
Damn I guess I misremembered. The Thanksgiving thing is a video he did, and despite it being like 90 minutes long I’ve gotten it as an ad on other videos. Haven’t watched the fuckin thing and I don’t plan to. Idk why I thought the sign had that slogan, but I feel like the video title used the same “change my mind” thing.
My most beloved comic used to make a point about contemporary culture. So fitting.
Or a wife, as it turns out
who?
