Also funny how when it's pirating, everybody leaps out of the woodwork to explain how since you're only making a copy it's not actually a theft.

Until someone takes something which was posted on reddit and puts it on memebase or funnyjunk, in that case it's OMG GRAND LARCENY GRAB YER PITCHFORKS BOYS!

In other words, it's funny how a feeling of ownership changes your rationalization.

[–]User199887 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Maybe people should put repost in the title. Save a lot of people from bitching about repost.

[–]LeopoldM 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not the unoriginality of the post that I downvoted for. That is after all, like you said, the point of reddit. What annoys me is that he just took another redditors comment. Because in a world of reposts your title is the only thing that can be original, and he couldn't even do that.

[–]bugs_bunny_in_drag 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

that's a pretty arbitrary standard for a sharing site. when people share articles, should they never make the title the article's headline? what about youtube videos?

Hold on a second. Are you... are you trying to tell me that Ridikulus himself did not create this gif? That he was not the first person on the internet to post a link to it, much less on reddit??

Fuck, shit, now you're going to tell me that people sometimes repeat jokes they think are funny. My entire world is falling apart here, I don't even know what to believe anymore.

When someone in your presence tells a real life joke, do you glare at them angrily if they fail to disclose where they heard it originally?

[–]borpo 15 points16 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you really want to draw a real life analogy, this was posted six minutes after the original comment was made. So if I heard someone tell a joke, and then heard someone else tell the same joke six minutes later, yeah, I would call them out on it. Especially if they told it to a new room of people, and had more people laughing at it, which is what's happening here, judging by the votes between the two. If that makes me an asshole, then okay.

[–]popson 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Your analogy kind of sucks, and quite frankly you would look like an asshole to everyone in the room.

Alternatively, you could look at posting something on Reddit akin to performing on stage. Obviously if you heard a speaker or comedian rip off another persons material you'd be inclined to (eventually) call them out on it.

All that said, I'm not so sure why everyone has pulled out their pitchforks here. It's not hard to imagine more than one person had the same sentiment, and ridikulus's wording of "stumble into" (vs. "browsing") makes for a slightly better punchline anyway.

[–]oobey 1 point2 points ago

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

I have no doubt that all of the laughing people in the second room would appreciate you calling out the joke-teller in front of them. They would probably think you were a cool dude, and wonder where the fuck this comedian gets off telling them things that make them laugh.

The biggest thing that saddens me is that many people not from the US learn everything they know about US politics from /r/politics. It's frustrating to hear people from other countries making judgment calls about things like healthcare, taxes, and debt in the US, when all they've heard is one very skewed, very incorrect perspective on the big picture.

I'm from Ireland and even I know that r/politics shouldn't be touched with a barge pole if you're looking for an objective overview of political events or an interesting discussion. Up until they banned self posts, 90% of r/politics was self posts with populist titles:

Reddit is such a paradox.

Karma is "worthless," yet it's the backbone of the whole idea behind Reddit. You immediately judge a comment/user by the Karma score, even though it's "worthless."

Redditor's "love" discussion and discourse, but because Redditors are more tech savvy, more liberal, and more involved with the intarwebs than your "average" individual (basically, Redditors generally share the same interests), these discussions often turn into "circle-jerks".

In the same vein, whenever there's a "Look another Redditor!" post, there's a 100% chance there will be someone going "Oh wow, reddit.com gets a bajillion hits per month, big whoop." Yet at the same time, these are the people who share similar interests as you, and if they're active, they probably have a strong sense of community tied to the website. And in that case, if you DO meet another Redditor, you probably would get along with him/her than an "average" individual.

If you dare to make fun of the subreddit, you'll always come across at least one guy that will accuse you of being ignorant to the world... as if you're somehow missing out by not reading the constant tsunami of DailyKos and Alternet links that make the place such a circlejerk. Also; the discussion on r/politics is similar to Youtube comments after been run through a spell checker.

tl;dr

Military Industrial Complex! Corporatocracy! Rabble rabble rabble!

although i believe alot of what is said about millitary industrial complex, corperatism, sometimes i can't tell the difference between /politics and /conspiracy

That's because a lot of the users overlap. There are close to 40K readers on r/conspiracy and a lot of them are very vocal about their political beliefs. Basically, it's a mix of far left conspiracy theorists, Alex Jones fanboys and Stormfront members. Go into r/conspiracy and show skepticism about a subject. They'll quickly accuse you of being a government sockpuppet account and downvote you to hell.

If smugness could be used as an energy source, I'm pretty sure that the US army would invade r/atheism.

When I told a (former) redditor friend of mine that I had become addicted, he had this piece of advice:

"When you want to quit, start participating in discussions on gender, race, privilege etc. They're barf-worthy."

-anon. escaped redditor

Words to live by, /r/politics is the cure.

I feel like that when I stumble into /r/TwoXChromosomes.

[–]JustinTime112 2 points3 points ago

Really? I love TwoXChromosomes and I am a dude. May I ask what is it about the place that makes you want to metaphorically 'walk out'? Just curiosity that's all.

The government owes me a healthy stock market. Even though I'm aware that the entire stock trading industry is corrupt, I'll still continue to invest all my money there. So that means the government should protect me from my own stupidity.

also...

Big greedy corporations need to be destroyed. But not before they give me a cushy job.

How is the trading industry corrupt? It's just business and trade.

Sorry you're getting downvoted. Literally every month I see a new gif of someone turning around and/or leaving someplace with the title "This is how I feel when I stumble into /r/politics". It's pretty annoying for me too.

[–]Maxjes 5 points6 points ago

As a Godless liberal, I despise r/politics. Not the message, oh no, I agree against the majority of things that are rallied against in there, but everything in there is 100% "end of the world, hair on fire, time to rebel, why are people sheep" Bullshit. Just because the GOP GASP is campaiging for thing they were elected for dosen't mean the USA is about to impload. Calm the fuck down.

Time for the "/r/politics is a circlejerk" circlejerk!

[–]druranium 6 points7 points ago

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

This "circlejerk" bullshit has yet to stop. I can see the term being useful in limited situations but it's thrown about as "hipster", just losing any and all meaning along the way.

(I agree with you, by the way. guess that means I'm circlejerking)

[–]josefjohann 5 points6 points ago

just losing any and all meaning along the way.

I think that's being done intentionally so people who circlejerk can act like they aren't doing anything uniquely bad.

I'm not exactly what you'd call "faithful" myself, but good lord sometimes atheists get preachier than the people they're complaining about.

Yeah, except /r/politics is about blowing Obama, not standing next to him.

[–]brkello 10 points11 points ago

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

You obviously don't go there. Obama has been a disappointment to most liberals because he negotiates from the center instead of from the left. So when he meets in the middle, it is far right of what people elected him to do. So many articles are extremely critical of this.

Open Reddit on a machine you're not logged in from. You'll see something about Ted Nugent and Republicans. Click that, and you get to peer into the mind of the terminally unhinged.

Does anyone in /r/politics even care?

If the community at large really feels this way, why don't we remove them from a default sub-reddit?
