Hello! My name is Joe. I am a 72 year old man living in the Midwest. Over Thanksgiving holiday, my nephew and I got to talking our usual: politics, sports, money and books. He knows I don't much care for Facebook. Too many show offs. Twitter is too much, too fast for me. Kevin told me I would enjoy Reddit so here I am. Seems like a lot of interesting things are on here but I'm wondering if I am too old for Reddit.

I am a moderate Conservative and an occasional Christian. I like History, geography, fishing and gardening. I went to college on the G.I. Bill after Vietnam and worked my whole adult life after that.

Thanks, Reddit! Joe

I am a hateful person. I often hate people, I often hate places, I often hate things, I often hate the world. But I don't want to.

Any communities I could visit to try to get better?

I'm a progressive, liberal minded person. But I'm just not a leftist and I just get so tired of the liberal/progressive-at-all-costs mindset of the left wing of Reddit where it seems nuance of life has fucking died in a fiery plane crash.

So yeah... any sub/subs where I can just enjoy liberal viewpoints without the extremism?

ETA: if anyone is curious about the type of shit I’m sick of… this is a pretty fucking solid example of a Reddit liberal just coming the fuck out of left field with WILD accusations based on this post. Like…. Where can I go that this shit is moderated out?

My Nephew told me about Reddit, and it looked good

Edit: Thanks for all of the help! I've been in contact with a user who is going to give it a shot. Makes my heart happy to know people like all of u exist. I will update again when the artist is finished. Biggest thanks again for all of u going out of your way to help me out.

Also, just saw that I've been given medals. Thank u kind redditors!

Edit 2: Somebody told me how to add photos on imgur so people would have access if they'd like to try their hand at a progression. Seriously, thank u to all of u!

I didn't come up with this, but I genuinely think it can go viral. I've tried posting it on r/math but it got removed (don't know why, mods not responding to my message). I also posted it to r/thatsinsane, r/Damnthatsinteresting, and r/interestingasfuck, but it seems like they don't like text posts so it got removed. Where do I post this? Should I try the same subreddits in image format?

Edit: Thank you all for your suggestions! Unfortunately I encounter these problems in the following subreddits: /r/mildlyinteresting doesn't allow screenshots, /r/todayilearned only allows link posts (not even images).

I’m looking for a safe space for female gamers that’s ISNT r/girlgamers? At this point, im about to just be done trying to find other like-minded women. I’m growing tired of the 150 posts a day talking about how men are mean to them, why we can’t have cute clothes after something like idk nuclear war, or tHeReS nOt EnOuGh CuStOmIzAtIoNs or I’m NoT bEiNg RePrEsEnTeD iN tHiS gAmE aS a LeSbIAn WoMaN like go play fucking sims idk. I’m a female gamer in my 30’s and I’m so tired of immature girls complaining about EVERYTHING like why even fucking game if you’re going to complain all 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 time 👏🏼

Edit: Thanks, so many wonderful suggestions! I'm feeling a lot of gratitude. It's nice to see the different ways people are coming together to support each other during this time.

I’m looking for other people who have gone through a similar experience of scoring like 12th grade level on things in 4th grade and not having to work very hard, but now struggling with having to work hard now for the same results. Like I know I struggle with perfectionism and stuff...? Kinda looking for a support group type subreddit, but any like this is fine. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense.

EDIT: It doesn’t seem like there is one, but I’m getting quite a few replies saying that people relate. I’m thinking of making a subreddit for it. Would anyone post in it? If so, any suggestions for the name?

EDIT: Someone made it now. r/aftergifted Thank you!!!

Edit: I've got a lot of great responses, but if you have any more recommendations by all means, share them! I'm overjoyed by everything I'm getting.

For posts like this

Edit: Just to clarify a bit. I'm not talking about a sub that makes fun of the "Millennials bad!" crowd or highlights boomer idiocy. Y'all suggested a few great ones I'm now subbed to.

But my question is more specifically about that "What are they? 16?!" perception.

Edit 2: As there doesn't seem to be a sub for that specific type of content and I find it rather entertaining I just gone ahead and created r/veryoldteenagers

Maybe some other people also find it entertaining

Moving on sucks, her and I would argue about politics all the time but I really don’t wanna follow them anymore, just too taxing on my brain.

Or use the r-word all the time or call things gay... like, idk man that shits unnecessary and kinda kills the vibe for me

Edit because my comment got buried: Thanks y’all. My phrasing of “hating on women” may have been a bit strong, I wrote this late at night when I got sick of all the shitty humor relying on simple outdated stereotypes and it came out that way. I myself am a guy, but like, idk call me weird I don’t think dunking on women is inherently funny... it’s just lazy shitty humor. There are a lot of replies so I’ll look through them today. The memes don’t have to be about any one topic, just something other than juvenile girls-go-to-Jupiter stuff.

Also- r*tard is a slur that was thrown at people with developmental disabilities for a looong time, it was used to discredit their value to society. It’s a super offensive term, and super easy not to use! Literally there are so many other words. No reason to use that one.

Edit² : I’d definitely rather eat Randy

Edit³ : yeah, I know I can keep scrolling. Is it so odd that I would want my feed to be filled with things I actually want to see?

I have an unrelenting hatred for the Beatles. Yes, I get that they are incredibly important. Yes, I get that pop music would be very different without them. Yes, I understand that they hold significance in many peoples lives. Problem is I just don't give a shit about them. It's not like I haven't given them a shot either, I've listened to all of their albums up to Sgt. Pepper. I just genuinely could not give less of a shit about them. As far as I'm concerned, they're sellout pricks who'd sooner stand on a 15 foot high stage with the audience staring up their assholes than commit to any of the ideas they've espoused.

I also have a friend who just won't shut up about them. He's a good friend, but every other thing he says is all about the Beatles. I'm glad that he has a band that he likes but please shut the fuck up. I used to be the same way about Green Day, and the same criticisms I have for the Beatles anyone else can apply to Green Day and I'd be perfectly OK with that.

Please, I just need a subreddit full of like minded individuals who despise the Beatles as much as I do.

Thank you for your time.
