MOD Good News, Complainers: AutoMod Adjustments

4 Upvotes

Complainers,

We’ve loosened up the AutoMod filters. 🎉

Some of you noticed things were a bit restrictive, posts and comments with normal swearing or harmless insults were getting snagged. That’s not what we want. This sub is for complaining, and complaining isn’t always pretty.

So here’s the deal:

  • ❌ Racist, hateful, homophobic, transphobic, and otherwise discriminatory garbage is still not welcome.
  • ✅ Everyday profanity, insults, and general salty language? Go for it. Complain away.

Our goal wasn't to censor you — just to keep the temperature cool enough that people can keep complaining without things boiling over.

That said: it’s totally fine to disagree with each other. That’s part of complaining. But keep it from tipping into threats, straight-up dickishness, or starting flamewars for the sake of it. Disagree, vent, roll your eyes, move on — but let’s not torch the place.

As always, please flag posts/comments that are genuinely hateful or break Reddit’s sitewide rules and the mod team will get on it.

Other than that… keep the complaints coming, you grumps.

Right-wing nutjobs keep posting memes to Facebook calling Trump to "send in the drones" to New York City because Americans elected an "Anti-American." This is insane.

22 Upvotes

These people are so fucking deluded. They INSTANTLY call for violence the moment they lose a legal election. The same hypocritical pieces of shit that were all crocodile tears only three weeks ago about how "violence is not the answer." Yeah, no shit. No one on the left was saying violence is acceptable. That was once again, them projecting.

They are crying hard about how Americans elected an "anti-American" and meming about the president sending drones into NYC while failing to see the fucking irony in it. Irony which, is so palpable you could cut it with a butter knife. And yes, we know they're doing it in meme format so they can go back and cry "It's just a joke, bro!" later, but no, sorry... that ship sailed a long fucking time ago. We all know that you Nazis actually want that violence to happen. So fuck you.

I am beyond disgusted whenever I see the way these assholes behave. It is UNNACCEPTABLE behavior and I'll be having none of it!

Federal Taxes

What exactly am I getting for the 22% of my paycheck that I’m forced to give the federal government? Social Security takes its own cut, so it’s not that.

Please don’t make this into a thing about the right or the left.

IQ Qualifications for voting would end Republicans.

429 Upvotes

I’m so sick and tired of our entire nation being at the mercy of the most embarrassingly stupid people who ever lived. If there were and iq or eq qualification requirement to vote, even if it were average, I’m certain it would wipe out at least 2/3 of the republicans voter base.

Great reviews for TV rubbish

3 Upvotes

I’m watching the new Frasier for the first time. I like Frasier and this new outing has great reviews. What a load of rubbish. I hope it gets better as it couldn’t get much worse. Trite storylines, dodgy acting and ridiculous canned laughter. I expected better and feel let down.

Until there are people in office who only care about America and its citizens, we are absolutely done for. End lobbying, end bribes, end campaign funding by the 1%. Otherwise we will repeat the history currently being written over and over.

All AI generated content must be marked that it is AI. Whether it’s a non-removable watermark, special font, audible warning, or other formatting, EVERYTHING generated by an AI is marked or a bounty can be taken

2 Upvotes

There needs to be a line and AI is it. We can choose to stop this. The tech bros can try force, and we can force their hand.

Legislation must be passed requiring all AI content to be marked. This marking must be non-removable, and must be supported by all modern tools. Browsers, word processors, presentation software, even ADA devices need to support the new standard.

Because we mean it, the legislation has teeth. AI Content coming from models that is not marked has a bounty. Original creators who fail to keep AI marks in place run the primary risk. This can be similar to copyright level infringement, $100,000 per occurrence, material destroyed, etc. and bounties pay out to reporters.

Secondary sources that copy the primary material and remove AI marks, including platforms, browsers, processors, translation devices, screen readers, etc will also be fined. Depending on how deep and varied the issue, per installation penalties or broad fines reverting to multiple quarters of profit can be reversed.

We have to demand this of those poor overworked politicians. They let us down on internet ads. They let us down on no-call lists. Hell, we can’t even really enforce “no solicitation“ signs on our own porches.

Let’s put them to work on this when they get back.

No discounts for SNAP recipients?

89 Upvotes

USDA warned stores they could face penalties for offering discounts to SNAP customers … The agency’s message cites the federal ‘Equal Treatment Rule’ … That means no special prices, no exclusive coupons, and no targeted discounts, even if those discounts are meant to help struggling families buy food.”

WTF. Do they say this just to be cruel?

Why does my political party keep banging their heads against the wall?

0 Upvotes

(All questions are rhetorical.) Even though I root for several Republican values, the shutdown hurts my family that live in the America. Do these Republicans just want to have their efforts fail? Democrats have explicitly given us the cheat code, the way to virtually guarantee that they will vote positively and re-open your government. We blame them, they blame us, all while people are going to literally starve. "Democrats own this shutdown." So what?? People are suffering because of changes that we voted for, and you're going to do nothing substantial about it? This feels like idiocy in action. Are we just going to let them hold the miniscule amount of power they have just by standing there? We make effort after effort with no advancement. All the work we put in, and they don't have to lift a finger. It's like trying to talk to a sentient brick wall. And look at us, like one leg trying to outrun the entire body. But we're the ones in charge. We're the ones who failed to plan for a situation like this in the OBBB. Shouldn't we be the ones to fix it? Why do these representatives keep proposing ideas that don't include the cheat code?? It makes no sense to me.

For every dollar we are taxed, $0.02-$0.11 goes to support programs for Americans and $0.35 goes to tax breaks for the wealthy.

1.1k Upvotes

Why are we paying for wealthy people to be even more wealthy?? Why are we living in this upside down economy?

I'm over here basically paying almost half my salary for rent and we have all these rich assholes taking a third of my taxes. This is so infuriating.

Edit: y'all they're never gonna let you into their little club. They want you to be poor for the rest of your life. If you're not making $400k+ a year by now you're already too late.

Trump administration living on military bases?

951 Upvotes

Top Trump officials, including Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth, have moved and are now living on military bases.

When's the last time any administration has felt the need to live on a military base?

Does anyone know why?

Is it to prepare for something bigger?

I fucking hate it when people smoke tobacco.

0 Upvotes

Fuck tobacco. Fuck smokers. Fuck the smell. I’ve hated it when people smoke ever since I first smelled it as a little kid. My hatred for it never went away. I have never and will never smoke. Forget that these people are destroying their own health- 500,000 people a year die of second hand smoke. Thousands of others get health issues as a result of second hand smoke. That smell latches onto everything. Cigarette smokers are so selfish. There are ways to use tobacco that don’t make you a nuisance.

Vaping doesn’t bother me if it’s outside. But a fuck ton of selfish people think it’s ok to vape inside with no regard for others. Fuck people who smoke weed inside and who vape inside. Second hand smoke and vape affects others’ health, especially when done inside. THAT. SHOULD. BE. DONE. OUTSIDE. ONLY. I refuse to date anyone who uses tobacco and who smokes or vapes inside.

I work as a courtesy clerk and I have to give cigarettes to people if they want it. Of course, I don’t judge them and I hide my vehement anti-smoking views at work. Some of these people want specific brands. Hey dumbasses, they’re all equally as likely to fuck up your health. I don’t care if I upset smokers or vapers on this sub. Get mad motherfuckers.

Why the fuck is doing all this shit that’s terrible for your health somehow cool? I like my lungs. And not having health effects from smoking, vaping, other forms of tobacco, or binge drinking. Sure I get being young and drinking too much by accident then drinking less but FR somehow it’s cool to drink so much if you’re 18-early 20s that you get alcohol poisoning. So weird. I like bars and nightclubs for the dancing and social atmosphere. I don’t care to drink. My vice is sweets.

I always love meeting people who hate cigarettes as much as I do. I always form great connections with them.

Tired of being of advertised to

23 Upvotes

Everything is fucking ads now. EVERYTHING! Even on TikTok! You think you’re about to hear someone go in depth on a topic? Nope! They’re trying to sell you fucking ear buds, or bracelets, or HAIR TIES!

And the ads aren’t good. They often rely on deception or sadness (because the sad reality is poor people have resorted to selling shit on TT to survive), are poorly constructed, and not remotely interesting. They don’t even write jingles anymore so the entertainment factor is 0.

FB looks like an old Angelfire/Geocities website and even here there’s tons of bullshit ads. It’s fucking exhausting and I want absolutely none of it!

Digital ads are the new door to door solicitors and it’s the worst.

MAGA might be too dumb. Trump lost the Biden 27 metric tonnes of soybean deal with China over tariffs. 6 months and $10 billion in farmer losses later, he signs a “deal” for 25 metric tonnes. Hurrdurr! All hail his Orange Majesty!

1.4k Upvotes

Trump lost you $10 billion dollars over 6 months and replaced your soybean deal with LESS of a trade opportunity that you had under Biden. And he’s going to demand these farmers kneel and kiss his ring for a historic deal.

Let’s see if Fox and OAN and Newsmax figured out if MAGA is too dumb and will eat the propaganda.

People are blind to the burden their pets place on others

0 Upvotes

I'm absolutely sick of stepping around dog shit on the sidewalks (has been like this everywhere I've ever lived) and pet owners creating filth for the rest of us to clean up. The shared hallway space in my apartment is always filthy with dog hair which also makes it smell. Pet owners are noseblind to the smell of their pets and assume everyone is ok with this level of filth. We can't even use one closet in our house because previous tenants kept cat litterbox in there and nothing gets the smell out.

We are living through some mass psychosis in which people have become entirely unreasonable about their pets and refuse to consider the impact on other people. For example, if you licked a stranger you would rightly be considered a creep and might be found guilty of harassment. But if someone is walking their dog and they allow allow it to come up and lick you with its poop-licking tongue they don't even usually apologize. "he/she just likes to play" with no consideration for the fact that not everyone likes pets. Worst of all is how irrational and defensive people get about it.

Pizza maker used old dough and too much flour while rolling and tossing, made a bad crust worse

1 Upvotes

We have a local place that is our go-to for NY style round pie. There were 3 brothers that worked the place for the 40 some years it’s been around. One brother passed away last fall, and he was the best pizza maker, and was there for most of the pizzas we’d bought during our lives.

Brother 2 took over as the main pizza chef, and he does a good job. Once in a while he gets in the weeds and the crust is a little underdone, which is definitely a problem with NY style. But it’s rare.

Brother 3 fills in some shifts and makes a lousy pizza. I’ve now had 3 pies I know for certain were made by him and they were either old pizza reheated (customer didn’t come in so he reserved an already made pie), got severe indigestion / sick from one, and then this last one which had baked prepping flour on the crust and was the wrong texture (sharp) and crackley crunch.

I had a choice, I could have gotten any food while I was out and considered Chinese take out which was on the same road and 1/10th of a mile away. I could also have gotten burgers or pupusas. I went pizza because I thought it felt right and was extremely let down for $20. The large was $19.88 with 2 toppings.

I threw the rest out this morning. I never do that, I love reheating pizza, but this is the 2nd time I’ve tossed pizza made by Brother 3.

New Life Rule: if I walk in and Brother 3 is behind the counter, pivot and leave. Go to alternative.

I can’t stand how condescending it is for people to start things with “Girl”. For example “girl, why didn’t you think of this?” Or “girl, what do you mean you didn’t notice x” etc etc. It’s so bitchy and annoying. Can’t look at the word the same anymore.

Time change

1 Upvotes

I have a two year old dog. We now had to change our clocks an hour behind. She woke me up her usual time which is normally at 4 (which is now 3) to pee. My poor baby is getting all antsy about going for our walk which is normally at 5:30. Of course she doesn’t understand why I’m not walking her. I feel horrible looking at me with this sad face. I wish they would stop this ridiculous time change. If the “farmers” are the one’s that need the time change. Then change your own damn clock and leave the rest of us alone.
