MAGA voters also claim they prefer a president who shits their pants.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

How is basically loosing a war with Iran worth it? Taco man stupid.
I think he tried to say it's treason to say we're not winning. Something, something, 1984.
... Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana...
I had to go find that onion post. Most of it is funny stuff about wanting prices to be higher for no particular reason, but this got me at the end:
"I figure anyone who sells oil knows better than I do what to do with my money. As my grandmother used to say, the higher the gas price, the closer to God.”
The absurdity is still there, yeah, but it's just too close to reality. I'm an old white guy born in the Trumpian Farmlands of Pennsyltucky, and it shook me a bit. That first line especially... They wouldn't say it out loud because they have to maintain the iamverybadass facade, but they live to be a cog in the machine, to serve the higher life form that will be their salvation. It's almost like their god, their cult leader, and their president can be the same person. And that's before we address the part where they chose one of the worst humans possible.
Unfortunately if there is any difference between these two takes it's that the real-life person says the quiet part out loud.
Religious freaks are predisposed to believe the most outlandish nonsense, so they're the perfect target for political indoctrination. If they can believe in imaginary friends to the point of tithing to them, they'll do that with a real life guy who promises to protect them from evil, just like Jesus.
A real badass can choke on dear leaders cock until they turn blue
I doubt his member could choke anything larger than a teacup Chihuahua.
The current US happenings have made The Onion's job impossible
The onion of prophecy they really need to start riffing on this maybe hint their parent company is the front for a cult or something idk
These are not equivalent.
It is if you can't read. You know where your are. This is be voted to the top.
They are willing to sacrifice for stupidity. Duurr just doing my part paying high prices so our President can embezzle more money. It's the Ameridumb way!
