It stands for "Original Poster," and from my understanding it's situational. Like during a comment chain it would be the original comment. I could be wrong, but that's how I've always interpreted it. /shrug

So what you're saying is that, if given a choice between being barred/denied entry over pot use, people will instead just go to places that allow it?

Not sure I'm seeing the difference between your point and OPs comment.

Bruh it wasn't just an accident. This was the presidential motorcade and secret service. Literally everybody in a 10-block radius knew who was there, and whether they had permission to be there.

This person drove their car into the motorcade, and then kept going. Secret service's job is to protect the president, and as far as anybody knew, this was someone after the president. They weren't harassing some idiot that was driving drunk, they were pursuing and engaging a very real potential threat to the leader of the nation.

I like how through these comments, you've called other users "stupid Americans" and you don't even know anything about the event in question. Good job kid.

So do you never watch modern action movies then? Or even just the daily news? Wanting to see how something happened doesn't mean you want it to happen again or at all, but knowing how it happened can prevent it from happening again.

Americans are fucking stupid

Yes, as a whole, we are, but in this situation, the only one who's stupid, is the person who's saying, "close your eyes and cover your ears and it doesn't exist."

Edit: All these chucklechodes hyper-fixating on the example I used instead of what I was saying. Not wanting to see something on the principal of 'it's bad' is the height of ignorance. Instead, you watch so you can learn from something. In this case, someone discouraging review of the incident, sets a tone of incompetent malpractice that is the exact reason why this world is the way it is.

His greatest political opponent just "went missing" (from the prison he was being held in) and "nobody knows where he is now." Russians have been watching their population get ground into meat by what he originally called "a military exercise" that's been going on over six times the time estimate that he set, and he's actively making it so nobody can leave Russia without smuggling themselves out.

He wouldn't still hold office if he was playing fairly, so yes, he is that weak domestically. Get fucked, Vladolf Putler.

It's a repost/crosspost bot and the admins/mods don't care to fix, disable, or ban it.

I haven't blocked it yet but I'm thinking I should.

Yes, they do. Which is why they're only giving citation for the ones that DID do the work that made them comfortable, instead of the people that capitalized (note the phrasing) on other people's hard work.

The optimist in me wants to say: "yeah, you go girl!"

But the pessimist in me is saying: "cool, so if they're so bad, who ARE you voting for?"

Out of the options, the lesser of two evils is easier to fight against.

Edit: I don't actively support Biden. But between the guys who promise to either: A) have made it their purpose to impoverish and delegitimacize everyone but themselves, and the people that, B) are trying to do so without getting caught

I'll go for the people that don't want to get caught. They're at least minimizing the damage they do to the world. 🙄

Extra edit for the dipshits that can't read properly: I was saying that between the Bidens and the big orange blob and his fanatical cohorts, I'd rather have the Bidens. Y'all think I'm talking shit about the wrong person, and that reading comprehension (or lack thereof) is why I don't actively support EITHER side because they're BOTH full of fanatical retards.

Not OP, but based on my experiences, I need a home.

Not a house full of people (that may or may not understand the things I try to express), but a genuine home. A place where I don't constantly wonder what I've done wrong or how other people want me to live according to their own tendencies.

I often think of the (misattributed) quote by Robin Williams character in 'World's Greatest Dad' : "...the only thing worse than being alone, is being with people who make you feel like you're alone."

I'm tired of feeling like I don't belong, like I was a mistake. I'm tired of feeling like a burden and a curse. I just want to feel halfway normal.

I agree, but only with the amendment that links to reddit only be text posts and comment chains, or otherwise reddit-exclusive things such as /r/place.

Images and links should bypass reddit altogether and just link to the first source link (ie, the news article or w/e), or be posted as a lemmy image post with a credit citation in the description.

Nobody wants to have to click through 3 different pages to learn who's winning what war or to see a picture of a cat.

I don't know how much, if any of this, is due to mental illness.

I've been on depression medication for 7-8yrs and my grandma and uncles will outright dismiss any negative feelings I express at any given time, with a hand wave while saying word-for-word, "just don't be sad," or, "there's other people out there worse off."

Boy, I sure wish it was as simple as just not being that way. I don't like being depressed all the time, and I would gladly just stop if that were possible, but other people's suffering does not invalidate my own, in fact it directly contributes to my depression, as I believe that most of the suffering in the world could be minimized if more people weren't so awful.

Not to mention the things they directly do that cause my depression. I'm the only one in my immediate family that is more of an "indoor person" than I am an "outdoor person." My entire life, when they would check on me in my room, drawing, reading, or especially playing video games, the first question they'd ask is, "wouldn't you rather be outside playing?" No, if I would rather be doing that, I would be doing that.

All of that was even before I grew up and realized that they're effectively brainwashed political cult worshippers, but that's a separate, off-topic issue.

I thought I got the meme until I clicked your link (knowing full well what it would be), but didn't grasp the reality of it until I was like 4 links deep.

I've seen the memes but holy shit it's real.

It's meant to, the fact that they use a phone booth is a direct homage to DocWho.

Low hanging fruit tempts more people, more easily. He's just a really easy to hate, last decade it was Zuckerberg, this decade it's Elon.

I just hope the next person to steal the spotlight is less insufferable.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

It's not supposed to 'make sense' in the way you're asking it to. You're just over-analyzing. It's just a simple (in concept) and fun idea that creates a fun/silly scenario to amuse someone.

Sometimes the simple fact that it does take a tremendous amount of effort to do is the best part. "Wait you did all this for a prank?! Respect to the commitment, crazy person, lol."
