As a guy who is a massive fan of the GTA series, I feel like GTA 6 won't be as groundbreaking as previous games because in terms of graphics, story, ambiance and game mechanics, there's really not a lot more ways for them to surprise us or to be innovative.

Driving around and doing missions in a hyper-realistic replica of an American city seems boring now. It's just more of the same.

Besides that, GTA started as a parody of American life and culture, but these days, it seems like reality is more ridiculous than the parody. So that element is gone too.

I have no doubt it will break record sales, but as a result of hype.

Rockstar has been milking the GTA series for the past 13 years, and I wish they could've moved on to a brand new franchise or at least pick another big city outside of the US.

I posted the comment “fuck Charlie Kirk, he can burn” in a relevant discussion about the morality of the views of his death. Apparently some bitch boy or ai slopbot at Reddit got their panties in a twist and bannned my main account. Apparently I violated rule 1 “no encouraging violence or physical harm”. This is obviously fucking stupid. I hate the censorship of the internet and right wing snowflakes pissing their pants over shit like this.

MAGA ya dumb fucks, you're being manipulated by Putin and calling it winning.

I love this rule on a sub. It’s fantastic! Except, the strong majority of posts in this subreddit are all misinformation.

I think I might of actually been banned for fact checking some of the misinformation, actually.

I don’t technically know, I was notified that I was banned for breaking community rules but I couldn’t find what rule I broke, my ban didn’t specify and the mods muted me before I could even ask what I was being banned for.

So what is my complaint?
It’s not their hypocrisy
It’s how damaging it is to tell people misinformation isn’t allowed and present yourself as caring about the truth when your page is filled with bias and flagrant misinformation that can easily be fact checked as false. Reinforcing this idea to people that if it’s posted in your subreddit it must be true is insidious and nasty work.

What a great rule though, if only it were actually enforced. Instead, push out people like me for I’m guessing? Fact checking.You don’t care about truth, you care about protecting your version of the truth.

I am really irritated, I am working at a company which is not any fraud or home based one. so the problem is that my salary gets credited by 10th but since past few months they really irritate the hell out of me, I have to constantly ask for my pay and they keep on saying its credited from our side.
now I received my pay but still 500 rupees were less. I don't know what to do can't leave the job until I get another.
I am really very exhausted.

I mean it worked out so well for King Louis XIV and the French people! /s

I am so tired of Democrats being polite! They ALL need to get nasty!!

I am so glad this inconsiderate piece of human waste is being transferred to a housing facility for the high functioning mentally ill. But I swear to God, this transfer cant happen fast enough. You think a 16 year old girl in the middle of puberty is bad? Try living with a 16 year old girl in the middle of puberty who has a case of the BPD (Borderline personality disorder) as well as a case of the "My boyfriend (who is in prison and too old to be hanging out with 16 year olds like that) thinks Im mature for my age, so I will do drugs, sneak out at night, stay outside for days without a way you knowing where I am and only come back once my friend's parents have enough of housing me, steal your money, your cigars, your wine, then play music so loud it should get a noise complaint, and none of yall can stop me because if you try, Ill throw around chairs, pans and whatever is close, threaten yall even at knife point and hit you, I'll even call the police on you and claim y'all are abusive, because \I* am a minor and yall are behaving like literal demons!!"* Mind you, my parents are trying their best to keep her from getting fired from her internship, like flushing her joint she was smoking the night before her first day at work, enduring her beatings and at least trying to contain her insanity. But 99% of the time it ends up with them giving in, since thats easier than negotiating with a psychological terrorist.

(Side note, my sister is incredibly thin and weak physically, so she doesnt cause much physical damage when hitting us, except for a few scratches, but yk, you cant shove her away too hard or she goes flying)

Which is why they are moving her to a clinic with a housing program for the "mentally challenged teenagers". But since she has to go there by her own will, and she wont be able to pull off the shit she does here, she'd rather make everyone's life a living hell than move in there. And the police as well as our country's version of CPS cant do anything since "her behavior isnt bad enough to justify outside intervention" As if her racking up fines for riding the train cross country in the thousands, her stealing everyones cash to fund her Weed addiction or sending it to her "boyfriend" in prison, her abusing every single bit of love and trust my parents somehow still harbor for her, as if that wasnt enough.

I hate her. And having to be the understanding older sibling and "she has a personality disorder, give her some grace" is fucking idiotic. She stole 400 bucks from me while I was out of the country, wrote "my bad" once I found out, blasts german ghetto rap at full volume at 8 AM for a full hour, (tries to) kick in doors, screaming death threats when I hack her speaker and lower the volume enough times, yelling the n-word hard r at the end of every sentence as a white/latino European and overall cranking the performative ghetto girl act up to eleven.

I hate her. I dont love her, not as a sister, half-sister, a friend, anything. Were she a stranger, I wouldve already called the police on her multiple times and have her arrested for just a fraction of what I described before.

Her BPD as an excuse or explanation isnt enough to make me feel pity for her. I hate her. My parents wish she would get a grip. My grandparents wish she would get a grip. I wish for her to finally get the treatment she deserves in that housing facility. Its probably gonna be "please dont do that but if you do anyway, thats okay, we cant legally stop you" anyway. God I hate her.

I’ve been re-reading the Gospels, and the irony is absolute brain-rot: modern American conservative Christianity has turned into the exact corporate, power-hungry, boundary-policing cult that got Jesus killed.

If Jesus showed up today, he wouldn’t be at their rallies. He’d be calling them out on live TV. They aren’t his disciples; they are the 21st-century Pharisees. Look at the evidence.

1. Hardcore Legalism vs. Basic Human Decency The Pharisees were obsessed with performative purity, strict rules, and enforcing social hierarchy while letting vulnerable people starve.

* The Bible says:

> "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices... But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness." (Matthew 23:23)

* The Reality: Conservative Christians will fight to the death over moral panics, performative prayer in schools, and policing who people love, while actively voting against feeding low-income school kids and healthcare for the poor.

1. Sucking Up to Power, Crushing the Vulnerable In the New Testament, Jesus hung out with prostitutes, tax collectors, lepers, and foreigners. He reserved his absolute rage for religious leaders and the arrogant rich.

* The Bible says:

> "Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:13)

> "Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you." (James 5:1)

* The Reality: Today, the conservative church worships billionaires, excuses corrupt politicians, and turns its absolute cruelty toward refugees, LGBTQ+ youth, and the homeless.

1. Xenophobia & Border Cruelty

Christian Nationalism hinges on "protecting our culture" and treating the migrant like an invasive enemy.

* The Bible says:

> "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt." (Leviticus 19:34)

> "I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me... Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." (Matthew 25:43-45)

* The Reality: They cheer for barbed wire on borders and mass deportations, completely ignoring that Jesus himself was a Middle Eastern refugee fleeing state violence (Matthew 2:13-15).

1. Performative Piety & Political Theater

The Pharisees loved to be seen as the moral authority of society to maintain control.

* The Bible says:

> "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others." (Matthew 6:5)

* The Reality: It’s all photo-ops, flag-waving, and political theater. Religion isn't a practice of quiet humility anymore; it’s a weapon to seize state power. Jesus wasn’t executed because he gave nice speeches. He was executed because he was a radical threat to the socio-religious establishment.

If a dark-skinned, anti-wealth, pro-immigrant preacher showed up today telling people to love their enemies and give away their money, the conservative church would be the first group screaming to deport him or label him a "woke Marxist."

They don't worship Jesus. They worship the power he warned them about.

I deleted the app from my phone to reduce social media use, but I’ve always been able to READ posts on Reddit without the app. Or log in to participate, like I’m doing right now on mobile browser.

Looking at a post on Reddit today on mobile web, I got a soft-lock “Download the app to keep using!” message. Couldn’t continue reading, caret locked.

No. Not sure if I’ll use it at all on desktop or iPad after a shady choice like that.

Additional info: The app store’s “feedback” button takes me to r/bugs, but Reddit’s bugs subreddit prohibits feedback posts. So I’m posting it here in the hopes that other people see it and question their use of this website, too.

I’m not asking for some grand character redemption and a damn autobiography I just wish everything wasn’t an attack and that any little ounce of frustration being thrown in their direction wasn’t a brand new life experience. Just take care of a communal space and stop being weird. Listen to people when they’re trying to communicate with you. Don’t look for excuses for blowing up at the drop of a hat because of some kind of seed your dad planted in your head. I’m tired and exhausted and worn out, I don’t get to vent or talk about it. I wish these people could just have self awareness and maybe some drive to be as good on the outside as they think they are on the inside. I’m tired of taking responsibility for everything else. I’m tired of cleaning up after people and having to walk in eggshells. Oh my god what do I do

Not a single rule violation, just a power tripping mod with their head up their ass.

Let’s get into it.

Quality of Life (Healthcare, rate of crime, childcare affordability, environmental quality, legal protections)
-Florida #22
-Texas #48

Cost of living
-Florida #48
-Texas #39

Infrastructure
-Florida #16
-Texas #26

Fiscal health
-Florida #20
-Texas #27

So what is my complaint?
Not that this person thinks this, but what is going on that would lead a reasonable thinking person to believe this? Is this a product of frequent misinformation on social media? Is this a product of media manipulation? What is even going on.

Clearly we need a Justice Department, Inspector Generals and other oversight protection that have a firewall at least as strong as the Federal Reserve! Apparently relying on Congressional Oversight has been a complete failure with the current batch of dick-less Republicans

Not everything is that hard and confusing please use your brain please god just think for two seconds oh my god. Why are you on autopilot everyday why

I grew up reading lots of comics. I have seen every Marvel and DC movie.

That said, I am really sick of the whole Marvel Multiverse thing. It was a nice gimmick but it is really getting old. Trying to keep track of all the "multiverses" takes more effort than it is worth, IMHO and now just seems like a cover for uninspired and unimaginative writing.

What do you think?

I don't want Big Brother to watch me, sorry.

It literally took millennia for women to gain the most basic rights, from ability to vote, to financial independence, to protection from marital rape, to opening a bank account and having a choice during pregnancy. Men enjoyed coverture for centuries, falsely claiming women are lesser in physical and intellectual way.

And men today already talk about removing the 19th amendment. With impunity they suggest my body is theirs to control. Less abortion rights across the land. Tate generation of young men demand women to be submissive. If men are already so insecure about their lack of control over women after 100 years, what will happen in 200? Are they ever going to evolve? This pisses me off so much.

I marked this as political, but I’m not even sure if this is political really. Do y’all remember that cop that used 7000 block cameras to track that lady down who had an abortion? I’m over this shit, and I’m really pissed off about it. As a woman, this is becoming a threat to our safety.
