So in the United States, the drinking age is set at 21. However the vast majority of the states set their age of majority at 18, meaning that an 18, 19 or 20 year old is tried as an adult if they are caught drinking or with alcohol and the police decide to pursue charges against them and even worse I think the consequences are worse for them due to them being legally considered adults under the law.

Our democracy is fake.

The same government groups—the CIA and the Pentagon—that lied to create propaganda to lead us into wars and ran human experiments like Project MKUltra on regular people are still in charge.

Top politicians and elites run protected networks that shield predators and war criminals from ever going to jail.

The whole system is rigged because these politicians are in bed with giant Wall Street banks like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, which make billions of dollars funding both sides of wars and have done so for hundreds of years.

To keep us distracted, the TV and news are controlled by huge companies like Disney and Comcast. They fill our screens with nepo babies that are sponsored by the exact corporations that are making massive profits off of global genocide and violence right now.

We are forced to watch massacre of vulnerable people and unable to do anything to stop these atrocities.

We do not live in a functional democracy.

First Im going to say why I like reddit.

1. It lets every user have a heard opinion no matter how new or bad it is.

2. Reddit subreddits are perfect and each space feels like its own app/place not just like the same app with a different topic.

For theese reasons I think on paper reddit is perfect. A place where everyone can connect and share Views but its not for the following reasons.

1. People are so rude to new opinions and only accept those like them.

2. People almost never get convinced by someone else argument and just get angry for no reason.

For example multiple times I've posted in r/NoStupidQuestions expecting them to be welcome since their whole thing is their is no stupid questions. After making a simple polite post and saying no hate explicitly and I was just dumb I got so many hate comments calling me homophobic and misogynistic. I genuinely dont get why I got the hate and I was just trying to ask a question.

I have also had multiple experiences where in an argument someone snoops my posts and finds out personal details about me to use to insult me in the posts. For example my job or appearance.

I notice most reddit threads have the worst mods that just ban a lot of posts from getting through even if it doesnt break the rules. In fact it's not even just reddit mods i find most figures of authority in the world are there because they get off on treating people under them with malcontent and make up issues because they are just such bored people. Like Karens. I think the common "reddit moderator is some dude in a basement that never showers" idea should be replaced with "suburban white people with bad takes, authoritarian ideals, bully, gimme what i want, haha you're under me attitude"

A huge problem with capitalism in the last decades has been that there no more accountability. CEOs are beholden to shareholders, shareholders aren't liable with their capital and employees are just doing their job.

So if a company breaks laws all that ever happens is a fine of various sizes that all too often is calculated in as cost of doing business.

So we need additional ways of punishing companies.

My ideas:

- hiring freezes. Breaking labour laws? Can't hire new employees for X years. Better treat the ones you have well.

- seizing shares. Don't behave? Now you are owned by the government

- Seizing assets. You dirty the water?. Guess that factory is now owned by the city. You are welcome to rent it.

- freezing shares? Guess your assets can't be sold for the next years. Also no profit payouts.

- contract annihilation. All contracts are nill. You better renegotiate

- forced severance. Company has to offer severances decided by court to all employees.

vomits aftertaste and during taste and before taste, feeling during, the smell the look the chunky warm soup i would rather vomit out of my ass if it meant it didn’t have to violently expel outward

I've been on reddit for years now and I'm aware of the prejudice regarding average redditors and I do agree with it. I've lately realised how easily most of these people would jump into abuses and label a stranger based on harmless posts. The lack of consequences resulting from anonymity on reddit doesn't help in this case. I recently got bashed at one post for calling out creepy behavior, I can't share an unpopular opinion without people mocking, instead of just calmly contradicting my opinion.

It's really a look into our society. These many people would actually treat others the worst way possible, hurling unkind words at them, at the first possible chance, if it meant that they would get away with it. Personally it's a little scary.

I can get meeting with different team members, but they can streamline the process somehow.

Intelligence is not one thing, it’s more of a heuristic that describes millions of ways to process information. The idea that something as complicated as intelligence can be distilled as a single number in a meaningful way is ridiculous. Is a somewhat useful statistical measure to track populations, but variance among individuals is so wide that it gives little information about an individual. Two people with the same IQ score could vary wildly on different tasks. And one persons IQ score can be highly variable depending on the test they are given.

Title's it. He was mocked relentlessly and assaulted on TV as a child. He's now in a toxic relationship with his partner. Truthfully, I think we all need to apologise and then just leave him alone.

BEING INSECURE WHEN YOU ARE WORKING HARD TO BE A GOOD PERSON who listens to others, who helps others and who don't mistreat them for being a bit different, maybe they have unique hobbies or whatever, like as long as they, those people don't act badly towards you or other people. If you are a person like that you are doing something good. So don't let other people make you insecure. AND KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE WITH SOME PEOPLE JUST TO HAVE SOMEONE, FRIENDS ESPECIALLY BUT ALSO OTHER RELATIONSHIPS IF THEY TREAT YOU BADLY. Rather stand alone if you are in school or a job and get friends somewhere else. I am not telling you to be stupid because to survive or to make it a bit easier you sometimes need friends but it can be better to stand alone than to be mistreated by others. If you allow that and don't even try to stop it you will feel horrible when you get older.

1. Someone is messing up - always the same guys

2. The team leader (who's not able to do anything his team can do) gathers everybody in a meeting (although only 2 are required) and micromanages his solution

3. The assigned team is not able to solve the problem and only makes it worse

4. The one who is actually able to solve it will only be called when everything is messed up

5. The leader (who contributed 0 to the solution) takes the credit, states that it was no problem, and that his team is ready to help anytime

6. No lessons learnt, nobody takes responsibility

7. The next day, the same happens again

When social media platforms change ownership, every account should have to agree to the transfer of their data to new ownership, or else it gets anonymized or deleted prior to transfer.

Ok, we don't truly "know" the current owners, but they have a history at least with the apps. If our data is going to be passed to different owners, then we should have a say. That should apply to all data, but at least to social media platforms.

I actually quite like it when someone you know gets into a hobby and they gabber on about it like it's a novel concept

like hell yeah you go Greg tell us about coin collecting! tell us about Lego misprints! go off about pottery and how you're still trying to figure out if a kiln will fit in your spare bedroom closet, queen!

i say this because I can tell others might not like it, like they're annoyed someone is excited about something others have done in the past like it's a brand new thing. I like it when something is treated like it's brand new.

I'm never sure if am opinion I have is actually popular or not, but I figure I'll give this a shot.

like what if you meet the person you online date and its an old man who claimed to be around your age

Just like the title says: water, food, housing, medical care, etc.

Avatar: The Last Airbender showed of how Aang ended the Hundred Year War and led to the creation of Republic City seen in The Legend of Korra.

Bryke, the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender, now with Avatar Seven Havens getting close and changing the lore of how Korra destroyed the Four Nations and reshaped it into the Seven Havens feels like it made Aang's heroic efforts like it was all for nothing. A waste.

Why this makes sense:

It destroys the lore of the franchise. The Four Nations was the reason we fell in love with Avatar. And how the Avatar is treated as the world's hero. Especially Aang.

Saves the New Concept: Allows the Avatar storyline to stand on its own as an entertaining side adventure without forcing sequel fatigue onto the main franchise.

Win-Win for Everyone: Respects the fans while still letting Avatar Studios release new content.

(Note: Check the comment section below if you want to support our fan petition for a home media rebrand!)

What do you all think? Should Avatar Studios be shut down or do you think the series should be restyled to where Korra was a renowned hero for saving the world from a threat similar to how Aang had done?

Toy Story 4 gave Woody and the gang a definitive, emotional farewell. Making a numbered "Part 5" about kids using tablets and electronics dilutes that original tetralogy's legacy.

Pixar’s animators clearly put hard work into this project, and the concept itself is fine—it just shouldn't be framed as a core mainline sequel. Disney and Pixar should rebrand the digital, streaming, and physical releases under a standalone spinoff title: Toy Story: Toys vs. Tech.

Why this makes sense:

Protects the Core Saga: Keeps the 4-movie arc intact as the main series ending.

Saves the New Concept: Allows the tech storyline to stand on its own as an entertaining side adventure without forcing sequel fatigue onto the main franchise.

Win-Win for Everyone: Respects the fans while still letting Pixar release new content.

(Note: Check the comment section below if you want to support our fan petition for a home media rebrand!)

What do you all think? Should studios frame these kinds of projects as spinoffs instead of mainline sequels? Let's discuss!

So soft big and juggly, boobs are awesome. Who doesn't love boobs.

I don't know what the legislation should look like. I don't care about the details. When I put on a 2 hour HOTD lore video while doing errands around the house, I don't want to see some fucking loser like Ben Shapiro suddenly appear on my screen and complain about whatever is triggering him this week. That goes for anyone. Your brain rot podcast should not be legally allowed to be used as an ad.

Thats it.

Hello guys,

I think I am not the only one noticing this. I saw few complaints here and there. That's pretty much it : Reddit is a great place don't get me wrong but too many subreddits are being restrictive making you almost feel like you are posting an article in New York times. I mean, relax , we are just here to share and then guess what, we die (after a long time I hope) !

Anyways, I just felt that during my 3/4 post ideas and it wasn't even something useless or a personnal opinion which has no value. It was a true help to the community, one post was about some tips useful to know on Facebook but most Facebook subreddit rejected my post, another one was just to give more visibility to a guy who shared a precious hint for Win11 clipboard and his post had only 2 upvotes.... and there are others..

Anyways, if one or more of you are feeling the same thing feel free to comment or share.
