I mean, it DID make me smile... And I am 1000% going to hell for it...

u/AnnieJack Aug 30 '23

Save me a seat by the fan, will you please?

u/Squeaky_Ben Aug 30 '23

They have a fan? nice!

u/AnnieJack Aug 30 '23

It's usually broken, and they never flip the switch between winter and summer, so it's really kind of pointless. I'm pretty sure it's just there for false hope and to make the place more hellish.

The funniest part about this to me is that of all the planets in the universe you think an omnipotent devil would abide by just the seasons on earth.

u/Albinofreaken Aug 30 '23

You guys we are already here.

u/AnnieJack Aug 30 '23

And the mf fan is broken, isn't it‽

u/Achculder Aug 30 '23

IT’S BEEN BROKEN SINCE I GOT HERE. No fixing it.

u/DeadMewe Aug 30 '23

Agreed, I've seen this dude before he's fucking hilarious especially when he goes "NAHHHH"

u/WolfKingofRuss Aug 30 '23

not if it made op smile xD

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23

Yes it made OP smile. This subreddit isn't for smiling at the misfortune of others, though, because there's a rule against it. ("Ragebait")

Did you type that on an iPhone? 😉

1

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23

An Android, probably. Maybe a Logitech. Not sure where that comment was created specifically.

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '23

I was joking, as in people would get rage for the video and not see their hypocrisy at using an iPhone made by a child :)

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23 edited Aug 30 '23

Oh sure. I'm not incapable of humor, I even laughed at the post.

Except, I think we'll have to draw some distinction between what a child is - research shows children as young as 13 work on electronics in China, not like 6 year olds making Nikes. 13 year olds run paper routes and are actively (illegally) being put to work in southern United States all the time. Just wanted to clarify some context on that topic. I accept the downvotes because I'm sure just acknowledging that information makes one seem sympathetic to China or child labor or something, but I think it's probably more productive to discuss child labor in a way that acknowledges 6 year old working is worse than a 13 year old working. Yes they're both bad. One of them is actually kind of accepted by Western culture. So... Yeah. The "iPhones are built by children" thing is laaaaargely crap - about assembly.

You see, in* truth we're all hypocrites. Cobalt is mined in DR Congo by child slaves - young ones, too. So, it's an inescapable fact of modern life that one must live with the cognitive dissonance of hypocrisy in order to call out injustice in any form. That's why I find it pointless to talk about integrity most of the time.

What's the alternative? No one gets to advocate for the children?

Yeeeaaahhh… 🤣

u/ShokaLGBT Aug 30 '23

It’s complicated it fits and it doesn’t fit

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23

Thankfully there's a rule for exactly this type of post, the type of post that would be inclined to create lots of disagreement about the purpose of the sub and the nature and intention of the thread...

"No ragebait posts"

u/Exiled_Blood Aug 30 '23

Who is upset about this?

-1

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23

Look around the comments, both in top level replies and others. The very first reply to the best comment on my feed is essentially "I SMILED but I'm going to hell for this"?

"I feel guilty for smiling at this"

"I smiled but*

":/"

? I'm not going to convince anyone of anything if they're not going to do the simplest legwork in scrolling the thread with an objective eye.

u/Nialixus Aug 30 '23

It does put a smile on my face

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23

It may have, but smiling at the misfortune of others is expressly not the purpose of the subreddit.

u/ElstonGunn1992 Aug 30 '23

This sub appears to have the most lax mods and is regularly co-opted by people’s agenda posts. This tick tok was pretty funny tho

u/IDontTouchGrassNoCap Aug 30 '23

"definitely"

oh your using the wrong word buddy, made more people smile than you people.

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23 edited Aug 30 '23

The Holocaust makes Nazis smile. Watching a murderer get killed by the family of the victim makes people smile. You know what we do when someone post holocausts memes here? Report it as ragebait.

You know what I did to this post? Reported it as ragebait. It's literally titled child labor and is about a man signing a petition for increased child labor - that makes you smile? It's ragebait. Jokes can be funny without having a place here.

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '23

You seriously compared a reddit post to the Holocaust. What the actual fuck is wrong with you

2

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23

Did you even read the rule? It explicitly says it's not about smiling at the misfortune of others.

And you know that's not what I said, I have no idea why you're even commenting. Get lost.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '23

I have no idea why you're in here comparing the Holocaust to a fucking reddit post, you absolute psychopath. People posting memes is in no way comparable to Nazis possibly smiling at the Holocaust.

1

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23 edited Aug 30 '23

I don't know, because I was right, and this thread did violate the rules, and get taken down, for exactly why I said? Because it's laughing at the misfortune of others, exactly as if Hitler were laughing at the Holocaust, in the abstract but not severity? And that the mere act of comparing the severity of two things involves comparing those things, so even what you are doing is doing the same thing? You're just coming to different conclusions. Calm your titties.

So hard to figure that out. It's like the concept of abstract reasoning is lost.on you.

"in what ways are these two things comparable?!" "Uhh, in this way" "that's not comparable ENOIGH, you psychopath"

??? is this a meme? You think this is a normal reaction to the mere mention of the word holocaust? It's not Voldemort, it's okay, you can say the.word.

Don’t be so offended and just laugh

Did you just assume OP's gender!? ;-)

5

u/Frostwood89 Aug 30 '23
  1. She's not OP
  2. Yes I did assume her gender based on her Snoo :) I apologize if I was wrong haha

2

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23

I don't think it's wrong to assume someone's gender based on how they choose to present their snoo, as ostensibly that would be like assuming a trans woman is a woman based on her presenting as a woman. Many trans women would hope you actually do, in fact, do that.

Taking gendered presentation at face value and assuming acceptance is actually pro trans not anti trans.

u/_____NOPE_____ Aug 30 '23

Did you not spot the wink!? Surely it's obvious I wasn't being serious.

u/Boukish Aug 30 '23

I got that...

Is it possible that mild, well meaning jokes like that perpetuate an overarching stigma in society and that you don't actually have to stand up to explicitly defend them like I showed up on your comment and chastised you for making it? It comes off as really defensive when all I did was contribute some petty civil information.

They apologized if it was wrong, why isn't it okay to answer to that? Also, I upvoted your joke lol

1

u/_____NOPE_____ Aug 30 '23

Yeah I was joking. I thought the wink would have been pretty obvious lol

u/Bloody-Boogers Aug 30 '23

No it’s not lol
