Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I refuse to believe that the solution to the issues America has with it's democratic process are corrected by American citizens refusing to vote.

[–]2paradoxes 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

this is true, however the poster also says "If nobody is elected, things will get better", suggesting support of dismantling the electoral system. I'm sure you don't agree with that either, but I just wanted to point it out.

[–]johnkong 1 point2 points ago

This poster, or whatever it is, is just trying to make a statement, which is true. I don't know if the people behind it really want people not to vote and possibly let the worst possible candidates in office.

Well, we all know that trite graffiti toppled the Soviet Union.

Then you refuse to acknowledge reality. What better solution than for <20% voter turnout. I don't know of a better way to vote no confidence.

Next November, if I am not mistaken.

It's understandable that the OP would be confused considering the election is already getting 24/7 media coverage.

[–]owlet57 0 points1 point ago

A fair and likely true point (I wouldn't know anything about the media coverage in the States, I live in Canada.

Things that make me ACTUALLY not want to live on this planet

Supporting war with your taxes doesn't make you not want to live on the planet?

I think that Natalie Dee has the right idea about politics, unfortunately.

Hey it's Guelph! Yay for my hometown! Nice to see some other Guelphies on Reddit.

I grew up in Guelph and for as long as I can remember I always privately acknowledged this wall every time I went downtown, thinking to myself that the whole world needs to see this. Gdot represent!

People like to say "If you don't vote, don't complain." But the way I see it, if you participate and vote, you acquiesce, and have no right to complain. Those that don't validate the process with their participation are very much in the right when they point out all the reasons democracy is a farce in the US.

I personally can't in good conscience vote for the vast majority of candidates, and the "two" parties have a headlock on elections - at a federal level, it is nigh impossible to elect a third party candidate.

Elect nobody, indeed - they can't do any worse.

This "joke" is actually is based on a 1920-1930's Betty Boop cartoon that's fairly trippy. Check it out.

In Washington State a man changed his name to "Absolutely Nobody" to run for lieutenant governor on the platform of eliminating the office. He won about 7% of the vote in 1992. Ruth Bennett (L) ran in 2000 on the same platform and got almost 8% of the vote.

This makes no sense, and is the stupidest thing i've ever seen. How sad that people are now trying to disguise apathy as activism.

Unfortunately simply not voting will not bury the dinosaur. Getting the majority of people to stop paying taxes on the other hand would starve the beast and prevent it from rearing it's ugly head ever again.

False. Your vote is the only thing you have in a democratic system. If you refuse to vote, you are confirmed as a naive hippie.

[–]Spectre_II 0 points1 point ago

Why are we all voting for this guy?!

[–]SlenderMan 1 point2 points ago

Because I'm a redditor too.

Um, no. Fuck that. Vote. That's kind of the whole point of democracy. And America.

This is in my hometown of Guelph Ontario.

EDIT: This has always been retarded, if you don't vote then Conservatives will just take over and fuck up your shit.

Head on over to r/anarchism if you'd like to educate yourself about things like this, or don't.

There exists private communities with private roads and private schools and private security agencies that operate much more efficiently than any municipality. Voluntarism > Coersion.
