Only if you want to make change. Peaceful protests have a history of not working well. That's why you're encouraged to do them. People had to pay attention to the Black Panthers when they showed up. They didn't have to use the rifles, just have them. Until we're serious enough about it to carry rifles, we're simply not serious enough for people to care.

So, still easily ignorable.

Are you showing up with a rifle, or just there with arts and crafts?

Okay, I remember. Now, what can I do about it?

Invisible. I don't know anybody in that situation. But I do know plenty of older people who are collecting social security.

That's a legit counter argument and one I can get behind.

That ship sailed when the SC said presidents are kings and then he was re-elected king. Elon will be pardoned before he sees any consequences.

That's why I framed it as learning from the same mistakes Reddit learned from already. We've already seen how this plays out, why repeat it?

From that perspective you're correct. I suppose it depends on what you want from funny. This is basically just a joke with a window dressing, does this also fit in jokes? The problem r/funny had, that looks like is repeating itself here, is that these are super low effort so they flood the community and drown out the other content. That's why it makes sense to put these sorts of things in their own community.

Go birds!

People don't seem to understand the value of the community is what the community is about. If you dilute what it is about, by letting it be about everything, it becomes worthless. Just another dumping ground for whatever bullshit someone decides to put there. It's the moderated communities that stay on topic that are valuable.

What's the point of fighting it? I have better things to spend my effort on.

Lol, okay. I'll just block this community in that case.

Hey, remember when funny almost died on Reddit because of all of the stand-up shots so they created a stand-up shots subreddit and made these against the rules for funny? Can we learn from that lesson that was already learned?

I don't think the government uses COBOL. I know the government uses COBOL.

I will still judge you.

He already said that's what he wanted. He said it before voting even happened. There was no reason to doubt that's what he wanted.

Trump has no say over Gov Evers. WI already voted split ticket with Evers as governor and Russian Ron Johnson as senator.

The thing with rules is, they only work if they're enforced. That's even one of the balances of power between the branches.

Well, yeah. That's how laws work. He's exploiting how much we've relied on social norms and didn't codify the rules.
