[–]Bandit1379 7 points8 points ago

This could be a train. If it's a bus, it's a nice one, cause public transport doesn't have curtains or cushions.

It does, however, have gross fat white guys sleeping awkwardly.

You have to approach that problem obliquely. Start by learning guitar, or how to DJ, or just make friends with the kitchen staff at any chain restaurant. In fact, just make friends with food service workers until one day you find yourself smoking a joint with somebody.

As has been so often said, the scale is relative. A [10] is the highest you've ever been, and generally accepted to be a relative term. Thus, if it's the first time you've smoked you're automatically at a [10] regardless of how high you are, and it only rises if you choose to get higher later.

Can someone explain to me what the hell this is actually supposed to mean? It looks like someone just took a picture with people and assigned random internet entities to it. Maybe it actually makes sense to someone, but to me it just seems like when Penny Arcade tried to do a political cartoon.

[–]Majora03 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So this picture was on the front page because it is a funny picture. Then Reddit went down. This picture shows reddit as a sleeping fat man, redditors as a man with a look of dissaproval on his face, and the subreddit r/trees (which is devoted to marijuana and a highly positive place) giggling about the whole thing. This is an apt portrayal of what was going on yesterday.

trees is honestly the most annoying sub-reddit. They have, by far, the highest ratio of "posts that look interesting / funny" vs. "posts that actually are interesting / funny." I swear, 10 times a day, I click on a link because it seems to have a funny or interesting title / thumbnail, only to find that it's YET ANOTHER STUPID MUNCHIES JOKE or ANOTHER STUPID "LOOK AT MY BUDS/BONG/PIPE" PIC or ANOTHER STUPID "LOOK WHAT FAMOUS PERSON LOOKS HIGH / IS HIGH" POST.

install reddit enhancement suite. it allows you to block specific subreddits so you can surf r/all minus only the stuff you dislike.

[–]NovaDeez 1 point2 points ago

When I first joined reddit r/trees was defaulted to show up on my front page. I have no idea why, but it was there. After a week of the crap knarf is talking about I got fed up and finally learned how to edit what subreddits i was subscribed to.

[–]knarf_navillus 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Word. It'd be nice if I could specify what reddits DON'T show up, instead of what reddits DO. Truthfully, I like surfing r/all because I see stuff that I would miss (unless I added dozens and dozens of reddits to my list). There are just a few reddits I'd like to block (trees, jailbait, gonewild, and maybe one or two more).

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

you could talk about stuff like news or legalization/growing strategies. y'know, something other than the circlejerk that goes on there. high times manages to fill its monthly magazine with actual content.

  • What makes this subreddit different from other cannabis themed subreddits?

/r/Cannabis is a place that specifically talks about legalization of weed, both for medicinal and recreational purposes. It also covers uses and benefits of smoking weed. It is incredibly useful to get a sense of the current laws and efforts to legalize. I find it to be a focused and driven subreddit. It's all business, but it's all helpful. /r/MMJ is like /r/Cannabis, but specifically for medicinal marijuana initiatives. Again, it is a very focused subreddit, and often concentrates on the science behind cannabis and the scientific studies dedicated to its medicinal properties. /r/Drugs has some mention of cannabis, but it also encompasses other drugs like shrooms, acid, and anything else. It is often filled with questions from people who have never experienced particular drugs before, and is helpful for "beginners." So what makes Trees different from all of these? Trees is a place where we can be free to speak our (smoked-out) minds. The community here is comfortable in our hobby, and enjoys seeing what other people think about when they're flying high. Some people post up stories they think of when they're high. Others post up recipes for food. Pictures of paraphernalia both new and old occasionally show up (often to seek aid in naming a new piece); other times, people will post lovely hi-res pictures of a nice-looking bud or grow operation. Sometimes, it's just an off-the-wall thought or idea someone realizes when they're way up there. Sometimes, Trees gets a bit serious. We care about getting weed legalized for everyone, and important news regarding that common goal are happily read and discussed by the Ents here (Entmoot threads, as I call them). Other times, we comfort and console poor friends who have been busted for the cops or any other tragedy. Trees is a place of feeling, a welcoming community who are happy to discuss any and everything. While there are other subreddits that are cannabis-themed, not many have the sense of community that Trees has. We're not as focused as the other cannabis-based subreddits, sure. But we have a little bit of everything. Something for everyone. And a warm sense of community for everyone. Speak your mind, have some fun, and share your thoughts. Welcome to Trees. =) source;

i understand the point of the subreddit. i'm just saying that you can honestly expect something different. they choose to do what they do, but that's not necessarily the end result of drug talk. you can be very high minded or slum it with conversation. in the end, it's your choice.

/r/books is worse - the majority of posts are "look at this photo of some books", "photo of a beautiful library" or "this is an author's autograph" instead of discussing the fucking content. Someone stated the other day that 95% (or more?) of the top-voted links in the last 6 months are photos, FFS. In a sub-reddit specifically about words?!?!?

I really dont want to incite more vitriolic drivel from you, but seriously, learn to read. It's right there in the sidebar of r/trees, its essentially the by-laws of the community. If you choose not to educate yourself on what you are seeing, that's your fault not r/trees'.

[–]knarf_navillus 2 points3 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I never go to r/trees. If I went to r/trees and then complained about what was there, that would be stupid.

I only see r/trees posts when surfing r/all. They're thrown in the mix, hence my surprise when I click on an interesting-looking link and discover that it's another shitty pot joke.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that these shitty r/trees posts keep ending up on the first couple pages of r/all, because they aren't the least bit funny or interesting. I'm not totally surprised, on the other hand. r/trees is quite an organized group, after all. For example, when it was discovered that the President of the US was going to field questions on YouTube, they somehow managed to fill the top 10 questions with cannabis-legalization. In the age of two wars, high unemployment, health care reform, Wikileaks, Bradley Manning, let me be the first to express my appreciation for r/trees for sending the President a softball question about the 28475th most important issue in the country right now.

It'd be nice if there was a reddit block feature, because honestly it'd easier for me to specify which reddits I don't want to see (trees, jailbait, ladyboners) than vice-versa.
