Quote the text here.

Just saw someone jump in front of the train..​

Anyone have advice before the shock wares off lol

Currently playing Tetris

I feel bad for the woman who was standing next to me. She completely broke down and fell into me as if she was trying to hide. I gave her a shoulder to lean on. I noticed others on the phone (hopefully with loved ones) on the verge of crying.

I guess I'm more desensitized than most bc of videogames, but seeing it in front of you is different.

It feels wrong to do anything rn but Tetris is bringing my back to baseline

I'm feeling okay now, thanks to all of you for your support

Dogwalker freaks out upon discovering a swastika ring while rifling through the dog owner's belongings. First they post to r/whatisit asking for help identifying the item's provenance:

They then post to r/rover asking the other petsitters how to handle (archive):

In a surprising twist, half the dogwalkers on Rover do not back up OP's histrionics.

Clearly there are still plenty of average Redditors in the replies. What kind of Nazi hires a Jew to dogsit??

Get ready for the funniest post in the thread. Here it comes:

Then we find out OP IS A TRANNY. I'll be honest, didn't see that coming!

What do we think, Kiwi bros? Would you feel safe dogsitting for a big scary Nazi who gets swastika rings off Temu? Would you report them to the Rover corpos who make 30% + fees off every dogsit regardless of the dog's owner's views?

What risk? Will the spooky american nazis invite jews to look after their pets?

Redditors love to cite a study about Tetris being able to help with processing trauma whenever boomers have a dig them for playing video games, because you obviously can't enjoy escapism for escapism's sake. It needs to serve some higher cognitive function

The mental image of some autismo gaijin tapping away at his phone on the train platform and posting on Reddit about he's a big strong boy while everyone else around him copes with the situation like actual human beings is pretty exquisite, not gonna lie. He probably outstretched his arms a little so everyone could see his phone screen and know that he was taking the correct, science-backed, peer-reviewed response to witnessing a suicide.

Seems a normal thing to have an adult taking the kids to see an adult rated film since some of them may not look old enough and might not get in. When an adult vouching will clear up the issue. Also gives them some safety if the film fucks them up.

The issue is probably that it's a man and she's thinking he might molest them. Not that it's an adult going. But who the fuck is going to want to watch zoomer slop horror? The fathers taking one for the team. I don't mind Backrooms stuff but the trailer being a nigger running round an empty hallway made me uninterested.

The only thing I really took away from this is that the American movie age rating system is bizarre and seemingly designed by people who were never teenagers. This is one thing I'd say the Yookay gets right - here, the ratings are U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18. The younger ratings have the "younger children can see it, but only with an adult|" rule, but 15 and 18 don't. The fact the US equivalent for the older ratings means 15-17 year olds have to be chaperoned by adults is the weird part in all of this.

Even if the "the dad has to go anyway" aspect was removed completely, I still don't think this is worth making a fuss about. At that age being seen with your parents in public is very much an "it's only embarrassing if you act embarrassed" situation (which, again, is why I think this was written by the son).

Movie age rating is all arbitary and gay any way. When you were 10 you were watching fucking Alien at home. an 80's PG has tits and fucks while a modern PG has trannies telling you to love ducks voiced by faggots.

America is fucking weird. They'll let you drive as a young kid but won't let you drink, smoke or watch a film. All dumb retarded shit.

 

[Parasite Paracide]

Redditors get a well-deserved bad wrap but whenever I google something now, the AI results are complete jeet garbage and only the suggested reddit post RE: that question ever give me any kind of eligible answer. Shame the mods are gay though, I could never imagine posting on there because the upvote system is designed against "wrongthink" and allows fat sweaty tards to brigade your post, and when there's not posts just being mass spammed, it's stream of consciousness irrelevant garbage that adds nothing or someone being falsely "wholesome" to self-soothe.

 

[PotentiallyDeciduousFace]

When they first made the change that you could hide your post history, some redditors were so mad about not being able to use your old comments against you in arguments that they used to reply with "XYZ hides his post history" as if that was some kind of instant "fuck you"

Gradually those people seem to have disappeared because it turns out no one likes having their accounts stalked.

They're on the farms now. I've got more shit for a private profile than anything else here. I don't care for stupid comments being posted there and comment stalking to try and get a leg up on you is just gay. But it makes people so angry here.

The behaviour has always been difficult to parse for me. What will people do when they can really find nothing to even manipulate into coming off as bad? Directly engaging with the argument and assuming whomever you are conversing with are honest until proven otherwise goes a long way. It's ultimately the better thing to do in the long run. Could it be because they worry that not providing some form of attack comes across as weak?

I feel in the long term, it disincentivises people from owning what they post, because they justifiably don't want to be browbeaten over things they either don't believe anymore, things they wrote in the heat of the moment, or things that get reshaped into statements they never made.

The only thing I really took away from this is that the American movie age rating system is bizarre and seemingly designed by people who were never teenagers.

The younger ratings have the "younger children can see it, but only with an adult|" rule, but 15 and 18 don't. The fact the US equivalent for the older ratings means 15-17 year olds have to be chaperoned by adults is the weird part in all of this.

So the short(ish) version is this:

There used to be only four movie ratings: G, PG, R, X.

>G: General Audiences. Movies approved for all ages
>PG: Parental Guidance suggested. Movies that are approved for all audiences but parents should be aware that very small children may not find it appropriate.
>R: Restricted. Movie intended principally for adults but a minor (under 18 ) is allowed to see it if a parent chaperones them.
>X: Movies intended only for adults minors are not allowed into the theater.


These ratings worked very well for a long time but in the seventies and eighties there were a number of movies, primarily horror films, which got a PG rating but were far too intense for anyone below teenage years. There were many discussions had and pleas made to the MPAA by public groups as well as the studios and filmmakers themselves to add an intermediate rating between PG and R for these sorts of movies, Steven Spielberg referred to it as "PG but with a little spice" and the PG-13 rating was introduced in mid-1984. PG-13 is a PG movie, which means that anyone of any age can see it even without parental supervision, but parents are advised that it may be inappropriate or too intense for someone below that age.

Lately the NC-17 rating has more or less replaced the X rating in the United States, and no one wants it because many theaters and stores will refuse to show or carry movies with that rating, which is why you typically see these types films released as "unrated" versions to get around this. "Unrated" versions have not been rated by the MPAA but are effectively treated by retailers as being R rated. Furthermore the G rating has gone nearly extinct and the PG rating has been moved down to more or less take over its old territory. The R rating has also massively shrunk because the PG-13 rating has become the most popular rating by far since it does not age restrict audiences while the content difference between a PG-13 movie and an R rated movie can be very very small in practice because the MPAA are an inconsistent group which hands out seemingly arbitrary ratings with no real definitive criteria. All-in-all the rating system itself is fine, it's the MPAA that tends to be the retarded link in the chain.

ETA:

Another fun fact about the MPAA is that they are a private organization that represents the American motion picture industry, they are not a government agency and they exist as effectively a smokeshow to keep government control and censorship out of the movie making business. Film makers and studios are not required to have their films rated for distribution or sale but they voluntarily choose to do so because the industry and the theaters have all agreed to do so in order to cover their asses from parental advocacy groups.

They let you drive young because most of the US is farmland or desert with nothing to hit for miles but citypozzed retards who can't extend their arms without touching someone else don't realize that.

It's also important for getting to and from work since most people in the US start working their first jobs right around 15 or so.

Fuck it I'll put it here, might be the wrong place so someone CAN signpost me but I figured I'd write it here since it OCCURED on Reddit.

So, I'm on the Fear and Hunger Subreddit and watching a troon crashout over people drawing Marina in a "Masculine way", despite the game saying Marina is a guy, this has them pointing people out (Which gets the post yeeted by a moderator). Reading the comments I spot a term I had to google, this being "TME" when someone tells them they find the artwork fine as someone who's also a trans person.

I find out TME means "Transmisogyny Exempt" and literally this is the troon niggers now dictating that even if you're trans you don't get to speak about certain issues unless you actively go through what they see as "Transmisogyny" which is the most pathetic, crazy, terminally online thing I've seen for some time.

from comedyheaven. I'm not reading that comment section even if you paid me

Super racist Mr.Niggersaver over there. Even the shit they cap from other platforms to post on plebbit is disingenous. As a bona fide racist i'd pass that hypothetical, burning Section 8 apartment without giving it a second thought.

Edit: Why the fuck is this on r/comedyheaven?

It's hard to feel much of anything about things like this when you realize it only exists because of a combination of social media and people in first world western nations not having real problems anymore.

They want to win the internet argument no matter what and can't even consider an opposing opinion exists. "That's ragebait" is something I get told a lot for disagreeing with people. "That's just trolling" or the other one where they imply you're not being honest and as such they don't have to listen to you.

It's a weird internet sickness where people have to find excuses for why someone would disagree. They can't even understand the argument being made because they just assume any one saying anything else is trying to upset them and nothing more. If they can find some way to invalidate your argument because of your post history, or find you contradicting yourself they don't have to engage with you. "Here's you saying nigger so you can't believe in biological sex because you said something bad."

I wanted to be shocked but given how some troons are I felt more pitying of the person than anything else. For a community which billed itself as "Inclusive and open" it shows how a lot of them just want victim points when they literally now decide what opinions to hear out based on "Well, erm, do you suffer any TME?", so basically immediately saying someone who's a pooner can't speak on the matter, or anyone who's passing and doesn't likely suffer because they don't look like a bloke in a dress. Genuinely fucked.

MPAA are an inconsistent group which hands out seemingly arbitrary ratings with no real definitive criteria.

There was a very noticeable shift after the introduction of PG-13 where everything below it became the dumping ground for children's movies. The original True Grit was G rated in its day. At this point the G rating doesn't mean "general audiences," it means "a light show to plop in front of your toddler."

Don't feel sorry for pedophiles and child groomers. They're monsters and should be treated as such.

My pink triangle comes from posting on someone's profile. They collected Lolcows death certificates. I thought this was creepy and weird, so posted on their profile to check back later when they end up being revealed as some weird creep. Mods considered that taking things beyond a thread and I got a pink triangle for it.

If you judge people based on how faggy the mods are here then that's your problem. There are plenty of people the mods protect who deserve a pink triangle and don't get it.
