Reddit is shit, I'm shocked.

Heh, I hope they just lash back and shut down r/The_Donald outright (eeyyyyyy), not because I think we should punch fascists or some dumb shit like that, but just to watch the ragestorm. I remember when r/FatPeopleHate was burst like a pustule all over the site.

Come on, Reddit admins. Cut the nose to spite the face. 2016 isn't dead yet!

So. Uh.

In the course of some drama I don't really give a shit about, the Reddit CEO admitted to shadow-editing user posts because "it's been a long week" (on Wednesday).

That's the best part. They don't understand the concept of containment boards, so they smear the cancer all over everything. /pol/ exists for a reason, and it's not because people want them to feel comfy and in good company.

Oh, I agree. It's a big part of why I'm pissed at the SJW crowd: we had the far right damn near drawn and quartered in a lot of the world, then they came in and simultaneously split the left and gave the right genuinely objectionable authoritarian targets to build a platform around.

To each their own -- I take the opposite stance. I'm far more concerned by creepy thought-policing authoritarian fuckwits trying to subvert the left and sell it to the neoliberal corporate bloc than I am with the fascist remnants precisely because the latter are nigh-universally reviled and thoroughly discredited. Literally the only thing keeping the alt-right cohesive is the fact that they have a visible and genuinely reprehensible enemy, and that that same enemy is busy purging genuine progressives and driving out large chunks of the leftist alliance. It's the exact same shit we were laughing about a few years back when this happened to the right, the base being fractured by a bunch of selfish tools out to get theirs.

That's why I focus on peeling away the SJW bullshit: as soon as people stop taking them seriously we can take the alt-right out at the knees and continue making headway. Every new generation of children should be another generation that doesn't care (as) much about the divisions of the past, but instead we have historically and politically ignorant ideologues teaching children to treat each other differently because of race and sex. >.>

Pretty typical, actually. The left was carefully edging the pie of social and economic liberation off of the windowsill when the alt-left ran up, shouted "MINE!", and smashed the pie into their face. In this metaphor the alt-right are the swarm of wasps that followed.

Uh. Maybe Thanksgiving has something to do with the pie.  :P

I mean, I spent part of this Thanksgiving literally biting my tongue while my paranoid grandmother ranted about how the government is letting men in dresses rape women by passing laws letting them go into bathrooms, so maybe?

What a specific fear. Why would the "men in dresses" be specializing in bathroom rape?

Apparently, I'm gonna have a niece?
I still don't know how to do this thing?
The fuuuuuuck? :> :? :U

That makes me an Aunt, I guess.
Or, being one of them Deviants, whatever the hell the general term for the sibling of the parent of a child would be?
Why is there no well-established, non-gendered generic word for this relationship, the way we have "Cousin" or "Child" or "Parent"?
Honestly, English. I'm disappointed.
Get on it, people!

Apparently someone out there is trying to shanghai "ommer", if google is anything to go by.

Though so long as you're not the one doing the maintenance work, you mostly just make funny noises and faces at it for a few years, maybe dangle shiny things in front of 'em. Not much to it.

E: And by that point you'll probably have been able to spend enough time around the spawners to figure out both a general outline of behavior as well as pointed examples of what not to do, and go from there.

@Caroline:

TERFs, at least, are very real.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Trans-exclusionary_radical_feminism

And I don't know about being able to "take the hits" here. Gays, lesbians, and especially trans people, especially especially trans people who don't pass, are still discriminated against, beaten, and murdered in the USA. Discrimination and racism against POC is still a thing as well (and trans women of color are far more likely to be killed than white transwomen). There are places that are friendlier than others, though, and maybe that's not the case where you live.

Oh my fucking god, YES PLEASE. *acquires Nautical Hat for niece-watching and funny-face-making duties*

Alternatively, if someone from the military decides to get pedantic: Citizen Solifuge.

No way! They'll have to lead a Mutiny before I give up title. My new and also unquestionably best familial title ever.

Apparently someone out there is trying to shanghai "ommer", if google is anything to go by.

Though so long as you're not the one doing the maintenance work, you mostly just make funny noises and faces at it for a few years, maybe dangle shiny things in front of 'em. Not much to it.

I'm already my brother and sister-in-law's go to pet-sitter, and the expecting parents themselves said I'm getting stuck babysitting sooner or later.

How does one Sit a Baby, and still be a fun cool Captain Nommer or whatever for my wee niece? Do I get them hooked on good books and classy indie games, and give them chocolate and let them stay up late and watch scary movies and stuff?

This new responsibility is exciting and terrifying!
