WEATHER!

[–]SquirrelOnFireWallingford 6 points7 points ago

Mofo, it's July!

[–]yutyut 12 points13 points ago

Hey it's that gif I keep seeing.

[–]PapaTuaSeattle Expatriate 5 points6 points ago

Duh. This always happens in the first week of July.

Sometimes it happens in time for the 4th, sometimes not. Looks like we're in the clear this year.

Who is that chick?

[–]dancing_duckling 7 points8 points ago

Jennifer Lawrence. She played Katniss in the Hunger Games.

Hooray for GIF spam!

[–]kdamp 10 points11 points ago

Awesome! A reaction gif as a post! Please tell us how you feel about things by linking more images.

[–]StuGovGuyCapitol Hill 4 points5 points ago

A meme as a comment, how original of you.

[–]kdamp 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit. What about that is a meme? I honestly don't know - I try to avoid them.

Does google image search

Oh fuck you Internet - let me have my sarcasm. Must everything become a meme? I was just expressing my general hatred of the Reddit trend of "How I feel" and "what I think about" posts and reaction gifs, etc... I just honestly don't get why people are interested in that stuff.

[–]Downchuck 7 points8 points ago

I think they do it for fun. And it's an alternative to highly textual/verbal interwebbing.

[–]elchupacabra206 2 points3 points ago

forrealz save this gif reaction shit for regular reddit not /r/seattle

[–]eelassirakRenton/Highlands 1 point2 points ago

Why does it matter if it's funny? And relevant

[–]BarbieDreamHearseUpwardly Mobile -2 points-1 points ago

Because I read enough unfunny and irrelevant crap by simply existing in this universe?

[–]kdamp -1 points0 points ago

You honestly find a gif of a woman giving a quick thumbs up to be funny?

And the gif is not relevant at all. It's only made relevant by the title of the submission, which provides the most tenuous connection to Seattle.

[–]eelassirakRenton/Highlands 1 point2 points ago

I do, yes. It's okay if you don't share my sense of humor, but 220 upvotes don't agree with you, and there's no reason to go all pretentious on us. If it's funny, who cares where it's posted?

[–]kdamp 0 points1 point ago

If it's funny, who cares where it's posted?

I am going to assume that was a genuine question, and will respond as such.

The whole point of subreddits is to allow people to subscribe to only the content they want to see. I subscribe to /r/seattle to see things that are actually pertinent to Seattle. There is a reason I don't subscribe to /r/reactiongifs or /r/pics or wherever this generally would show up - because I don't care about them.

Posting things wherever you want defeats the subreddit system and degrades the user experience.

[–]eelassirakRenton/Highlands 0 points1 point ago

No, I get that, but this one in particular is funny and applicable to Seattleites because we all think the same thing when the forecast says all sunny for ten days straight, "Yeah, okay champ." That's why I say why does it matter if it's a gif or a meme or whatever if it's funny and relevant to the subreddit.

[–]dabears1020Belltown -1 points0 points ago

Yes, and it's relevant humor related to Seattle. If you don't like it, just ignore it and move on. Plenty of people are obviously okay with the occasional meme or gif related to Seattle posted here, it's what the subreddit is for.

[–]kdamp -1 points0 points ago

The gif isn't relevant at all, and it's not particularly funny. It's lazy meme spam. But I guess we aren't allowed to express anything but a positive opinion of things here on Reddit. Of course, if your advice was solid and not nonsensical then I would advise you to follow it:

If you don't like my opinion, ignore it and move on.

[–]PapersaurusUW 1 point2 points ago

Shh, let's just pretend for a little bit. ;_;

[–]Silvertech 0 points1 point ago

Its about 100 every day here. I would love to trade with you.

[–]UnaClockerTacoma 1 point2 points ago

Global Warming.. Some people claimed it was a good thing. Enjoy.

[–]Silvertech 0 points1 point ago

Some people are smoking crack. I will never understand why we don't take Global Warming more seriously. Is it really that important for them to drive an Escalade?
