I don't think "physical force" is a necesarry component of violence. Take, for example, domestic violence. The US DOJ gives these criteria for if an action is DV or not:

Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, psychological, or technological actions or threats of actions or other patterns of coercive behavior that influence another person within an intimate partner relationship. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.

I think a more apt definition of violence would be "coercive behavior"

The funny thing is, deciding which memes are political and which memes are not political is itself a political decision

You just can't escape it

I have no idea what this says but based on length and wall-of-text-ness, I'm willing to bet it's the navy seal copypasta

The logic I don't follow is how killing some people and not killing others is in any way an application of equality. They decided that the people they killed were unequal. Like, the logic of your individual points makes sense, but it's the overall logic of your argument that I can't follow.

I'm not sure I follow your logic here. What equality was gained by the victims of the Holocaust?

I think my point is obvious enough to be understood without getting bogged down in the pedantry of equity vs equality, but if you want to start that discussion you are welcome to provide some definitions :)

Anyone who works to maximize equality is a good guy and anyone who works to maximize inequality is a bad guy

I've lived with a transgender woman for ten years now. Still alive, still happy, still single.

He looks like he's two steps in to a drunken lurch towards a bowl of buffalo wings that may or may not be room temperature

Isn't this a textbook example of an argumentum ad hominem?

Why would Trump splitting the GOP vote have an effect on Biden?

How can you tell when a joke is a dad joke?

Liam Neeson jumps over a fence

That's gotta be Antwaun Stanley for me. His work with Vulfpeck and Cory Wong are just phenomenal

Absolutely! The dolls of both genders that were discontinued or discarded were the first ones to bring down the patriarchy in Barbie land, including Allan and Sugar's Daddy/Magic Ring Ken

One of the main reasons people come to Reddit is to be informed by discussions they’re interested in, creating an environment of active discovery ripe for brands to show up and add value. Contextual Keyword Targeting places advertisers at the center of this journey, and at the heart of active conversations taking place, giving them the option to select specific keywords to associate with their brand, or even align keywords with their creative ad copy for added relevance. With so much direct traffic to Reddit conversation threads originating from high intent organic searches or research sessions, Contextual Keyword Targeting unlocks value for advertisers during and after discussions unfold, since we know Reddit threads live on as valuable, searchable resources for our users.

I threw up in my mouth reading this. I don't think any community would enjoy being described as "an environment of active discovery ripe for brands to show up and add value".

If you're like me and haven't deleted old reddit comments because of the valuable information they can give other people, now may be the time to reconsider. Being able to advertise on discussions that have already happened is one of the sales pitches Reddit makes to prospective advertisers.
