2016-2020 : President of Alternate Facts 2025-2029: President of Alternate Reality

many tesla owners have unfortunatley discovered that the brand value on the market is heavily attached to the personal reputation of elon musk,

Trump is dying. Putin is dying. Hopeful megalomaniacs are looking to fill the vacuum when the boomers pass on. Someone had to step up. Elon decides it’s his time

No, and I specifically asked no one give me lego because I still have the modular history museum boxed in my basement that I’ve yet to build.

having a young cat in the house has made the prospect of building unattractive.

the shitposter in me wants to say that this isn’t a problem you find a solution to, its karma for doing business with the devil.

should have replaced CSI NY with Blue Bloods, same message, same city.

my description of the incident embellishes, the reality was it was a lot simpler. I literally just said “After all thats happened, if Trump was to suddenly start aiding Russia, thats how you end up with a dead president”. and that was enough to warrant a top level ban for threatening violence…

like 1 sentence.

IDK if I double replied to this or not. I deleted the account, can’t pull content from a deleted account, not even on reveddit . Otherwise I’d have no problem, but the more time has gone on, the less I’ve cared about losing reddit aside from access to some specific hobby and help forums. and if its really that bad, I’ll buy a burner phone and go to Mom’s house or something.

Im not losing sleep over convincing or not convincing someone. Its not going to change anything regardless. You can take my word for it, or call me a liar. I dont care, but I wont go in circles over the same point.

Yes.

I can’t remember what the topic was, but it was related to Trump, Foreign Affairs, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine / US Aid to Ukraine. the comment essentially said the following. responding to another comment that was sarcastically suggesting the possibility that President Trump would start militarily aiding Russia. and bomb Ukraine.

I mentioned that “If a US President ended up directley aiding a country that’s been hostile to the US for the last 15-20 years in a shooting war against a country we’ve been helping fend off a monstrous invasion… thats a good way to end up with a dead president”

7 day ban issued for making threats of violence

appeal “There was no threat made, I think whoever issued this ban is a little too close to the politician in question, and acted on behalf of that”.

permanent ban. No foul language was used, No name calling, no trolling.

Simply stating “If a US president decided to suddenly force an alliance with a hostile nation that most of the country believes is an ideological and moral enemy, the people would revolt”

permaban

No, my account was issued an account level ban for a comment on a sub. It had nothing to do from the sub moderators. There was no interaction from them as the comment was pretty standard for the topic at hand.

Im not going to argue with you, theres what happened, and what you think happened based on a story you were told. Arguing over it is a waste of time.

It was an account level ban issued by Reddit. The account was perma’d by an angy Reddit admit in response to my appeal reply. so once the account was cooked, I deleted it and moved onto another, and the IP ban came after, automatically, for ban evasion. Caught in a situation where I was in violation of the site wide rules just by existing, over a ban they issued out of biased rage.

so in technicality, yes, its as you said.

1984 cyberpunk was supposed to be satire not a model

I’m not sure Ilham Aliev cared about the loss of anything except for the plane itself. Azerbaijan is another Ruthless genocidal dictatorship that’s been ruled by the same family since the fall of the Soviet union.

They are objectively a mini russia. Except turkic Islamic instead of Russian orthodox.

The quiet part out loud is russia is an ideological extremist warmonger who considers itself to be in a life or death struggle with an amorphous idea of “the west”. And doesn’t give a fuck about what anyone says or thinks about them.

Which is exactly why the west should treat them how they want to be treated. A wartime enemy.

This is the end result of a fascist and imperialist regime and it’s brain rot propaganda mobilizing it’s population for ideological war.

This is reddit mods in a nutshell

Similar story to how I ended up IP banned.

Story about a politician advocating for killings and kangaroo court imprisonments> i make a comment saying “yeah this guy is gonna end up dead if he tries this” > banned for threats of violence. … appeal, arguing that it wasn’t a threat. Just an acknowledgment of political volatility… suggested mods were politically biased for seeing it that way. > appeal rejected and permabanned

edit - I understand reddit mods dont issue IP bans, but I was hit for ban evasion after abandoning a cooked account that they refused to let me appeal. the ban evasion rule is a “gotcha” to make people , any and all . to go away. I only say that this time it was an IP ban because I had been perma’d before, only to immediately move to a new account I already had made (and on the same device no less).

my guess was algorithms improved /s

its probbly the rear projection. it looked like this, but my memory tells me it was quite a bit bigger https://i.redd.it/ig6k6bngyaca1.jpg

edit - its actually probably that same model i linked or a bigger version of the same line, its an RCA, I know they had a lot of those throughout the years, my grandfather ran a furinture, electronics, appliance and computer store in the early 2000s and the house was always full of Panasonic, RCA, and “Zenith” electronics. As well as the occasional thing from the more well known brands like Hitachi, Toshiba, and Sony.

but Zenith and RCA were dominant there

double edit - it appears RCA went defunct before I was even born, so if it was an RCA it would have been something he bought used, or had kicking around from before I was born.

this just sent me down a nostalgia rabbithole.

in the late 90s and early 2000s my grandparents had two interesting Televisions in the house, one was a very large CRT TV that they kept using until the late 2000s or early 2010s. but the other was an ENORMOUS flatscreen that was so big it looked like a CRT on the back, I dont even know what kind of technology it was, Im assuming it wasn’t a CRT though if this one here in this video is the largest, because the one they had was 2-3 times its size horizontally. (they had it in the late 90s, Im g oing to assume it was an early version of a plasma but im not sure really)

fair nuff

They are end of life now and have ceased production, but if you can manage to find a 5800X3D , that CPU is the definition of sleeper. I had a 5700X I think it was, and the performance boost was f***ing unreal, I expected meagre gains, I saw 20 to 50% performance increase on many games. if you’re into that kind of thing. if you see one for sale, seriously think about grabbing it.

its the whole reason aside from the OS issue, Im not even remotely worried about the next few years, it can compete with the high end stuff of the AM5 generation still. unreal.
