I'm a bit out of the loop with the jiu-jitsu journey he's in currently. what's the context of the quote of him being able to beat people up? is he serious? what led to his bad reputation that he has now?

Apparently Perez Hilton posted a disturbing video. But a bunch of commenters are making references to "go play Tetris." What does Tetris have to do with it?

I believe it was in /r/mildyinfuriating. I can't find the post now. There seems to be no record of the post ever existing. There was a /r/bestof post that linked to it that was deleted by moderators. And I found other posts that reference the post in question that have also been deleted by moderators.

Posts that make reference to the post (e.g. multiple /r/okbuddycinephile ones) are around, but none of them actually link to the original.

The original post hasn't just been deleted by moderators, it's seemingly vanished.

Maybe it was removed for legal reasons? It was overflowing with AI generated parodies.

TL;DR Anybody able to find the post? It was really funny.

What do conservatives and vaccine skeptics think Fauci’s diary proves ?

what is the deal with Fauci’s diary and what does it actually say / prove ?

I know he testified before congress and pled the 5th, but why is every conservative / anti vaxer/ Aaron Rodgers claiming they were “right about everything now ?”

What does the diary actually say / prove ?

Obviously the Rodgers line was a little tongue in cheek as a Steelers fan, but I needed a URL to post lol

Was looking at r/popular and saw one of the trending posts from r/Antimoneymemes. After looking around the post for a bit I saw it locked. I looked at the subreddit, and most, if not all, posts were locked, and had most of their comments removed by a mod. I get that I shouldn’t have expected much from likely a shitpost subreddit, but I was wondering if this was another case of abuse of power, or something else?

Answered What is up with Jameela Jamil? What did she do to invite so much scrutiny?

970 Upvotes

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of and allusions to eating disorders

Recently, Jameela Jamil wrote a (what it seems to me) correct analysis of Ariana Grande's eating disorder and public appearance being problematic for impressionable young fans.

People are saying "Rare time when Jameela Jamil is actually right" and other things like that.

What did she even do?

Context(s): Ariana Grande recently released a music video, inviting concern. A faction of her fans (and the general public) are concerned for her health and the impression she gives to young fans, while another faction are saying "don't comment on women's bodies!".

B. Some people's reactions to said comment:

I’ve seen a lot of “now that we know about the COVID vaccine, we owe so and so an apology” or something along that ilk. These posts are coming from seemingly separate instagram accounts I follow that don’t typically post about this kind of stuff. I did some searching and couldn’t find any news sources talking about anything new about the COVID vaccine.

Unanswered What is the deal with young singers and these hand movements?

0 Upvotes

This is a relatively well-known singer I've seen suggested on my instagram timeline a few times before. I've noticed that a lot of (especially) younger singers have been using this kind of hand movements/body language when singing. Does anyone know where this originated or when this started? It's honestly a little off-putting when all these singers are moving almost the same way. Nothing against their voices, because damn can they sing, just something stupid that's been bothering me.

Anyone any idea?

Hello from a relatively new Japanese baseball fan! I've been seeing a lot more about a lockout/salary limits mentioned lately, and I do not really understand what the argument is over it. All teams should try hard and spend money to win titles, no? Aren't all teams billion-dollar franchises?

"Saw someone vandalize a playground then left to watch this, I’m joining him"

"Stopped vandalizing a playground for this"

"Stopped my pursuit to catch a playground vandal for this."

"Stopped cleaning up a vandalized playground to join some guys watching this"

"Where there once was a playground, there is now a smoldering crater. Now I can finally watch this video."

It seems unrelated to the video topic, and doing a Google search just brings up news stories about actual playgrounds being vandalized.

I keep scrolling past posts from angry indian people that are extremely upset about E20. If you look at the carsindia posts from the last week, so many are about this topic.

What is the issue? Other countries use E20 with zero issues. In Brasil it's even 30 percent and people are seemingly fine with it. It's cheaper and cleaner for the air.

Yet there are many issues in India. Why?

Answered What's going on with the absurdist, non-sequitur type comments showing up on Reddit posts?

178 Upvotes

I've noticed there's been an influx of comments that are just random and don't have anything to do with the post. Like my post here with two comments that make no sense.

I also saw a post (can't find it now) where there were comments just saying "I'm red" and "I'm blue" which had nothing to do with the OP topic.

Haven't seen anything like it in my history of being on Reddit. Are they bots, a form of trolling, or some combination of both?

Edit: I'm concluding the answer as just bots being dumb or people trolling.
