i love to learn about my cat i love to google “should you trim cat last claw? trim all cat claws? cat last claw called? cat fifth claw? cat claws labelled. trim cat dew claw?” and then say hi graham i learned something about you! your weird claw is called a dew claw and it will not be worn down by regular walking so it is extra important to be diligent about trimming to prevent it growing into your paw pad! and he bites me and bites me
hilarious drama going on on reddit, the least respectable social media site i use. someone goes to r/legaladvice with a question about a shitty interaction with a cop. pretty normal post.
some users replied with regular advice, but one r/legaladvice moderator came in saying it was OP's fault, defending the cop. when OP requested they "please read the post", they equipped their next reply with their little mod hat and told them that showing attitude would result in a ban.
after receiving hundreds of downvotes (and many replies, all of which were removed and banned), the r/legaladvice mod nuked the thread in a fit of anger.
so you'd think it'd stop there, right? well, that's where you're wrong.
there's another subreddit called r/bestoflegaladvice, where the more interesting r/legaladvice threads are reposted for audiences to take the piss out of. and of course, a mod throwing a tantrum and nuking a thread because they were asked to read would make that cut. so it was reposted! and of course, everyone started rightfully calling the mod a bootlicker.
people then started pointing out that the r/legaladvice mod team has cops on it, at which point, part two of the drama starts: some people are mods of both r/legaladvice AND r/bestoflegaladvice, and they get really mad when you call them cops (derogatory).
so of course, they take the best course of action, which is to angrily reply to comments calling them cops and then use mod powers to delete the comments they don't like, insisting that only ONE r/legaladvice mod is a cop, so it's totally fine!
the r/bestoflegaladvice thread was then deleted and locked by mods, presumably for "republicizing deleted comments".
the same thread was then reposted to r/bestoflegaladvice. again, the thread fills with people calling the r/legaladvice mods cops.
this thread was also deleted and locked by r/bestoflegaladvice mods.
but it doesn't end there! because there's ANOTHER subreddit called r/subredditdrama, where the juiciest drama from all manner of subreddits gets reposted. and you'll never believe what's gone on long enough to count as drama.
here, free from the shackles of reddit's legaladvice world, users were free to dunk on the mods as much as they want.
the r/subredditdrama thread was eventually deleted as well (but not locked) just because they don't accept links to nuked threads since the original can't be read, but thankfully, everything had been archived by that point.
and just because the streisand effect should never go unrealized, i'm reposting it here, to tumblr. who knows, maybe someone will bother to screencap this and put it on r/curatedtumblr, and it will eventually live on in reddit again.
as for OP, they reposted their situation to r/nostupidquestions and later posted this update:
moral of the story: never go to reddit for legal advice, because the legal advice subreddit is run by ONE cop.
i miss shooting ranges but part of that could be i miss having a penis with testicles
“you had a penis with testicles?”
in a way… you see, this is the first reincarnation without them. i think i got punished this time around because my last one i didn’t take things seriously. i was a harvard undergrad in the 1950s drunk as a skunk wasting daddy’s money slacking off in a fraternity and i was doing a ballsack trick to impress my friends and failed so spectacularly it completely crushed both my testes and i had to take testosterone for the rest of my life until i died in the late 1990s, a tradition that i unwittingly carried into this life, though under much more joyous conditions.
“is that your theory as to why you’re transgender.”
Practice drawings of birds other than pigeons this time - I adore jackdaws so so much. I based this off mostly on my own pictures (except the hooded crow, which was sent by a friend 🌺)
I've had rough time with anatomy (especially the heads and the tail regions) but I guess it will come with practice eventually.
