And this won't help in any way, it just makes the botters post some garbage content and upvote each other first which further pollutes the waters.

The moment I can't comment or upvote without posting first is the moment im gone. I had 500,000 comment karma on reddit with a 9 year old account, I had 1 post karma from the default.

yeah no, the reason I never abandoned reddit before is I would go onto another site, try to post a comment and get "Sorry, you didn't submit enough post garbage spam to comment or vote yet" and then I left, and then everybody else left because nobody could comment except for post spammers and bots.

I don't have one because they don't provide a high enough level of user control. Built like garbage, infested with more software garbage, expensive as fuck with all sorts of bells and whistles you don't need, and it makes you pay ridiculous data prices and get fucked in the ass by billing.
If you want a computer, use a computer, if you want to text or call, then use a normal phone. I don't know how anyone can stand mobile browsing, its like trying to read a news paper with a paper bag on your head with crooked eye holes.

Reply to Sexually charged ‘Ogle-ins’ allowed 1970s feminists to humiliate catcalling men by An_Old_Big_Tree
And it was probably the first time those men had been complimented in a decade or more. I don't see that would do anything except pure backfire.

Reply to comment by RedEmmaSpeaks in What label do you reluctantly use to describe yourself due to lack of a better term? by leftous
That matches up pretty well with my own beliefs the only difference is I personally think there needs to be a 'small' form of a larger state, that helps direct larger public works projects, organizes disaster relief, and help manage other large infrastructure projects, but knocking out pretty much all its other duties/powers.

Reply to Starbucks Kills a Million Trees to Make 4 Billion Non-Recyclable "Paper" Cups Per Year by An_Old_Big_Tree
Interesting. I mean obviously they can't use wax because coffee is hot and would melt it and soak into the paper, the plastic works but I doubt most people knew it was originally sent to China to one of their garbage villages. Now since China's trying to get rid of or downsize those places they just go into the landfill. Maybe an advance compost pile that is injected with plastic-eating bacteria? The plastic is very thin with lots of surface area so is an ideal situation for decomposition, but it probably would take far too long for any short term capitalists to give a shit.
I wish I could see into the future just to laugh at plastic products 2000 years from now though when they start getting infected by the rise of plastic-eating bacteria. Originally lignin from trees was indigestible by bacteria too, the source of much of our coal as those trees sank into the ground and got covered, but these days it only takes a couple years for wood to start rotting away.

Reply to Sam Walton's birthday by NeoliberalismKills
Its even more disgusting because of how far Walmart has strayed from Sam Walton's original philosophy. While it was a never a great job, Sam at least tried to paid an okay wage. When his kids took over they went full asshole cutting every penny possible and now most of their employees require social aid just so they can afford to work for Walmart.

Reply to America’s Oldest Gun-Maker Goes Bankrupt Because No One Needs Guns Now That Obama’s Gone by An_Old_Big_Tree
Remington is going bankrupt because they got bought out by Capital group, they significantly lowered the build quality, and tried to ride on the name to make big profits. Now years later gun owners want nothing to do with a new remington productions because they are at best shitty and at worst potentially dangerous if their shit chinesium metal full of pits and holes explodes in your face.
Same thing with Kimberly 1911s. They use to be one of the best you can buy, tight tolerances that needed like 500 rounds to wear in but great. They got bought out like 10 or so years ago, now their 1911s have visual defects and flaws, like they didn't think people would take apart their super expensive gun in order to clean it and notice?

Honestly, I think you should get rid of these rules. Not because I want people to post them, but because it sets a dangerous precedent that is easily abused when we already have the right kind of user base to self-select content and suppress lies and bullshit. Voat is already a containment site for those people.
I don't need nor want other people telling me what is and isn't acceptable for me to read about, its the main reason I came here from reddit. And if I see censorship just because somebody disagrees with the content, ill drop this place in a heart beat. Just reading about it makes me want to leave, it's extremely authoritarian even if you think its for the right reasons.

Reply to How paranoid are you? by AlexanderReidRoss
Paranoid enough to block all scripts and cookies by default, paranoid enough to not own or use a smart phone, paranoid enough to avoid photography which inevitable ends up online.
Not paranoid for tinfoil hats but a lot of conspiracies do have elements of truth, as evident by nearly every government in history doing illegal and immoral testing on its civilians unknowingly and fully admitting they did so in the fairly recent past. (Oh but not today! Of course not! How ridiculous would we be to think a bunch of morally bankrupt and corrupt as fuck politicians, bureaucrats and authoritarian nutjobs would violate our rights willy nilly?!)

Mustard and like 95% of products that originate from mustard family plants. Mustard, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, rutabega, turnips, ect.

Oh and peas, those are pretty nasty too.

I own plain solid color pocket t-shirts, some jeans, some cargo shorts. Most are a little oversized because I use them as work cloths, all cloths are work cloths. Nothing is made to match, I wear steel toe boots 80% of the time I leave the house. A flannel work jacket, one green light jacket. White tube socks.
I guess the real question is do I even know what fashion is? Because im not sure ive ever picked out a single piece of clothing based on appearance except that it doesn't have a bunch of shit on it that makes retardedly slow readers constantly stop me for 5 minutes at a time.

Reply to comment by ziq in The Merits of Taking an Anti-Anti-Communist Stance by jaidedctrl
This right here, unless someone else brings up the world communism, we shouldn't because the word has been poisoned. You can get someone to agree with every single point about communism, only to flip on what they claim to support if they are4 told that it was communism.
Sure debate the word, meaning, and history with people. But if they don't bring up the label, neither should you.

Reply to When we say, "noone will go without food, shelter, or clothing", exactly how generous are we being with that? by drh1138
If you treat different groups of people differently you are just fueling another class struggle down the line.
Learn from the failure of previous communist states, if everyone isn't equal, then nobody is equal, which pretty much guarantees a ruling dictatorial class will assume power and start trampling on the 'undesirables' and once they are done with them they will move on to you.

For me growing up poor meant we had to repair shit out of necessity. I learned a great deal and now I fix all sorts of shit along with learn what is good construction and mechanics. These days I fix everything, and in some cases fabricate my own shit if the consumer trash available isn't reliable enough and/or not good enough quality. Honestly I think we would all be better off if tools and workshops were more common along with teaching the skills needed to use them. I can't even count the number of times something breaks that can be easily fixed with 15 minutes in the shop instead of trashing it and buying new. Things like bearings and bushings are made with a finite lifespan, they do wear, break, and fail, but unless you have a lathe they are near impossible to fix without it being designed for service and replacement.
Buy a lathe, get some hand tools, fix your shit. It's cheaper, its educational, and it is a huge bonus for the environment.

Im here thanks to banning gundeals, beerswap, and other trade subs. I deleted my 10 year old account, it had been steadily down hill there for the last 7-8 years and I was quite tired of reddit's shenanigans, bots, trolls, corrupt mods, and completely worthless admins.

Im in my late 20s. I definitely see the appeal of such a device, I just don't like how it has been implemented. Im probably the target audience for Windows 9 and 10 for mobile computing but Microsoft has really soured my taste lately by trying to get in on the same social/media/advertisement/propaganda crap as everyone else, especially after they have already fucked them up so many times before.
I still use an ancient tablet for reading digital books, froyo version which I think was 1.2 or something, but its not like it works with any new programs these days.
