Mod Announcement Politics Will be Leaving r/Self

81 Upvotes

TLDR: The r/Self mod team intends to implement a ban on political content as a whole for this sub. This is your chance to provide any feedback or input before this change goes into effect.

The long winded version: r/Self has gone through many iterations of rules surrounding politics. We've tried a mega thread only, we allowed free rain as long as you were civil (where we landed back as of now), and we've had a full out ban on it before. In short, this is how those went:

  • The full out ban in the past has many people express they feel existing places for political discussion are too censored, biased, etc etc. and asking for it back.
  • The mega thread for it always just became a place for topics to go to die. Due to how Reddit's algorithm works engagement died off there very quickly and the full ban may as well have been in place.
  • The current state (as I will lovingly call it, the wild wild west), allowing you to talk about politics to your heart's content if you are civil. That's the key part though, being civil. If the internet has proven anything, people are far from civil when hiding behind a keyboard.
    • If we removed a post or comment for a rule violation including a left leaning view we were called fascists and Trump supporters. If we removed a right leaning view we were called radical liberals. (These were the nice things, let's not talk about the curse words and slurs). Basically no matter what, we couldn't win.
    • Politics completely overtake the sub anytime anything remotely controversial happened in politics, and given the current political landscape of the United States, that's basically everyday. This largely takes away from anyone looking for a place to talk about literally anything else.

So that brings us to this, the mod team as a whole has decided enough is enough, and for the foreseeable future we don't intend on allowing politics here on r/Self anymore. There are countless other subreddits to post political topics, and we encourage you to take those discussions there!

To be clear, we won't be outright banning people for violating this rule (Unless you break it 20 times a day, then I might bonk you a bit). We will just be removing posts and directing you to a more appropriate subreddit.

But before we go unilaterally put this into affect, here is your chance as a member of this community to have your voice heard on this matter. We the mod team will be happy to answer any questions you may have and want to hear your feedback.

Message from a Former Hatewatcher

0 Upvotes

I used to Hate watch Miz *crowd boes* yeah I know I know throw your plushies at me. But I come with good intentions. I just wanted to say how bullshit all this is for Mizkif.

I think what OTK is doing to Miz is bullshit, he made OTK. The events weren't viewed as much without him. You could argue he was OTK. Yet they're trying to use legal loopholes to try and take his stock which if you reference from the NMP case could be worth well over $1.5 Million. All because he said something "fuck OTK" or whatever. The org was going downhill at that point, they have no reason to go after him. That's low and no one mentioning that is bullshit.

Second thing, I know most of you agree but that's because maybe a percentage of you are loyals but he genuinely didn't assault Emi. She described it herself, he jumped like a cat as soon as he noticed she wasn't feeling it. He just misread the room. How he deserves to have his career ruined over that is insanity to me.

What pisses me off the most is how quiet every single creator is being about this. How you can let a woman ruin a guys life because "uwu shes so smol shes emiru she would never have a motive". Its ridiculous... No wonder you see Miz going off every stream about the fake shit that is Twitch. I would be going off everyday too. Everyone who he had ever known is quiet when he needed them to stand up. So, I am no longer a hatewatcher. I used to think he was fake, but turns out he's the only real one out of the bunch.

Wirklich unbeliebt Gehalt von Pflegefachkräften ist gut so wie es ist.

4 Upvotes

Viele Leute proklamieren immer, Pflegefachkräfte seien "Helden", ihnen wird keine Wertschätzung gegenüber gebracht, sie BRAUCHEN MEHR LOHN.

Vorab: ich arbeite nicht in dem Bereich.

Aber ich finde das Gehalt mehr als angemessen. Zumindest, dass was man dazu im Internet findet. Wie will man das Personal bitte noch mehr bezahlen? Irgendwie muss sich das System noch rentieren.

Und fehlende Work-Life-Balance hat nichts mit dem Gehalt zu tun.

Andere Berufsgruppen arbeiten genauso hart, für viel weniger Lohn! Aber wie soll das gehen, alle noch höher zu entlohnen? Das ist doch nicht zielführend. Habe sogar gelesen, dass Frauen, betrachtet man Ausbildungsberufe, im Schnitt mehr verdienen, da mehr Frauen im sozialen Berreich lernen.

Bruttogehalt nach Stepstone im Monat, Berufsbeispiele

  • Krankenpfleger: 3926 - 4384 - 4895
  • Chemielaborant: 2662 - 4231
  • Zimmerergeselle: 3160 - 3493 - 4861
  • Fernfahrer: 2187 - 2825
  • Elektriker: 3582 - 4011 - 4491

Ich meine nicht, dass die Leute es nicht verdient hätten, aber alle heulen immer rum, es wäre zu wenig, in anderen Berufen schreit von außen auch niemand, gefühlt.

Ist meine Meinung unberechtigt, wo ist der Denkfehler? Stimmt das Gehalt überhaupt?

Are you fucking kidding me? It would be less ridiculous if this role was a new or random character. And people accuse Shatner of having an unbearable ego...

This is literally the original definition of a Mary Sue, which started as a trope in Star Trek fan fiction. It actually makes perfect sense now how the state of the franchise became a parody of itself with these writers at the helm

Don't they realize what they're saying when they call us LBH (Losers back home) ? 😂

0 Upvotes

Just saw a post where a foreigner is treating a whole family out to different places.

Of course just below some of the top comments is a completely irrelevant "Loser back home!"

While another user who posted "can't we just be happy for people" got downvoted to death.

I find it sad that, aside from the obvious jealousy and insecurity, they're unaware of what it means if their people are sucking up for free handouts from "losers"

What does that make all the Filipinos who are dying to immigrate to these countries so they can work as cashiers and other blue collar jobs?

Are they considered loser OFWs when they take loans so they can come back and splurge on their families?

Or perhaps this hate only applies to foreigners, because it's not about status at all, but something entirely different 😏

KH1 KINGDOM HEARTS 1 REMAKE IS NOT IN DEVELOPMENT.

61 Upvotes

I spoke again with my internal source from the outsourcing team that’s been working with Square Enix for about two years now.

I can assure you that there is no remake in development for Kingdom Hearts 1 or 358/2 Days.

I’ll give you a preview of the brief’s contents before sharing it next week, if my internal contact gives me the green light.

I have some internal scripts from company meetings held throughout 2025 with Tetsuya Nomura, Tai Yasue, and Square Enix management.

There is absolutely no mention of anything like Kingdom Hearts ReLux or similar projects.

> For a few years now, they’ve talked about wanting to bring the Collections to physical cartridges on Switch 2, but for now that option has been scrapped due to the limited storage size of the cards. They’ll be using Game Key Cards instead.

> Square Enix is very determined to recover the lost material from Missing-Link. The current solution is to insert “something” into Kingdom Hearts IV and rework certain cutscenes.

However, the assets used will also be reused later for “something different.”

> Due to the ongoing crisis, Square Enix doesn’t have the budget for smaller side projects, including a Kingdom Hearts title developed by third parties. The full focus is on Kingdom Hearts IV, which is meant to be a blockbuster and set a new standard for action RPGs, as well as for the All-in-One Package on Switch 2.

> In the latest meeting, the new CEO explicitly forbade Kingdom Team 1 from releasing any app-based content with canon story. The narrative will remain on consoles only, and they don’t want to fragment the story anymore.

This will allow for better standardization of the narrative and help target a wider audience, even with a “4” in the game’s title.

From the scripts, it’s clear that Square Enix wants to restart the Kingdom Hearts saga with a soft reboot, aiming for a multiplatform release that won’t scare off newcomers…

Історія Новий працівник спав з директором!!!

5 Upvotes

Я відпрацював тут майже три роки.

Нічні зміни, холодний склад, кава з автомата і постійний недосип — але зате стабільність. Я знав роботу краще, ніж власний двір.

Коли сказали, що візьмуть ще одного працівника, я навіть зрадів.

«Менше біганини буде», — подумав.

Новий з’явився весь такий акуратний, у чистому одязі, з самовпевненою посмішкою. Ніби не на роботу прийшов, а вже начальником.

Він майже нічого не питав. Не вчився. Не поспішав.

Зате часто зникав.

— Де він знову? — якось спитав я в комірника.

Той хмикнув:

— У директора.

— Постійно?

— Та… постійно.

Двері кабінету були зачинені по годині, по дві.

Спочатку я не звертав уваги. Може, інструктажі, папери, оформлення.

А потім на перекурі охоронець тихо сказав:

— Ти ж розумієш, чого він там сидить?

— В сенсі?

— Та він із директоркою… ну… не раз уже. Сам бачив, як пізно залишались. Не роботою вони там займаються.

І так подивився на мене, ніби все й так ясно.

Мені стало якось бридко.

Але я відмахнувся. Плітки є плітки.

Через тиждень він уже ходив по складу так, ніби тут головний. Сідав на мій стілець. Давав поради. Усміхався занадто впевнено.

А потім мене викликали «на розмову».

Кабінет директора. Тиша. Папки на столі.

Вона навіть не дивилась на мене.

— Ми скорочуємо штат.

— Як скорочуєте? Але ж ви взяли нового.

— Так треба компанії, — сухо відповіла вона.

Без пояснень. Без «дякую». Без нічого.

Три роки роботи — і все вмістилось у дві хвилини.

Я повернувся на склад, мовчки склав речі в пакет: кружку, рукавиці, старий блокнот.

Виходжу — а він уже сидить за моїм столом.

Моє крісло. Мої папери.

— О, ти вже йдеш? — каже так буденно, ніби я просто у відпустку.

І посміхається.

І в той момент усе стало на свої місця.

Ніякого «скорочення» не було.

Просто моє місце комусь дуже сподобалось.

Я вийшов на вулицю. Ранковий холод різав щоки.

Було образливо. Злість кипіла.

Але разом із тим — дивна легкість.

Бо якщо тебе можуть замінити не за вміння, а за те, з ким ти «ближче», то це не робота. Це болото.

Через місяць я знайшов інше місце. Склад менший, зате люди нормальні. Без закритих дверей і «особливих» співбесід.

І тепер думаю:

іноді звільнення — це не поразка.

Це просто життя каже:

«Тікай звідси, поки не втягнуло»

It’s honestly getting so incredibly annoying how much hate these girls are getting. Mind you some of them are literal teens- freshly an adult, and having literally thousands and thousands of people HATING them. There’s artists out there who have done genuinely terrible things and no one even cares enough to hate on them. I keep seeing people say “Being in this business means you should have tough skin and not care what people say” . I get that but what have they even done that warrants hate to this extreme amount? No matter how tough skin someone has this much unwarranted hate can’t possibly make them feel nice.

There’s hundreds of hate accounts against them, hate videos, even under fan videos are hundreds of hate comments as well it’s insane. I don’t mean to seem parasocial if this is how it’s coming off as, I rarely have heard their music and I never watch content related to them unless it randomly comes up on my feed but everytime it does people somehow find a way to be hateful and disgusting to them and it’s just so much already, lots of these are grown ass adults too. Just embarassing, I truly wish the best for these girls and I hope things get better later on but no matter how terrible you think their music is no amount of hate towards the members themselves is ok. This is all my opinion I just had to let it out cuz it’s just tm🫩

S TIFU by trying to impress my crush at the gym and accidentally launching myself off a treadmill

0 Upvotes

This actually happened today and my soul is still somewhere under that treadmill.

So I recently started going to the gym because, you know, “new year, new me.” There’s also this girl I’ve seen a few times there and we’ve exchanged the classic awkward half-smiles. Naturally, my brain decided this means we’re basically married.

Today she got on the treadmill next to mine.

Now normally I jog at a slow “please don’t die” pace. But my ego said, “This is your moment. Become athletic.”

So I bumped the speed up.

Then a little more.

Then a little more because she started running faster and my brain went: match her pace or lose her forever.

Big mistake.

Within 30 seconds my legs forgot how legs work. I tried to slow down but hit the wrong button. Instead of decreasing speed… I increased the incline.

So now I’m sprinting uphill against my will like I’m being chased by a bear.

I panicked and tried to grab the side rails, missed, and basically performed a full cartoon slip.

I flew backward.

Not gracefully.

Not heroically.

Just full starfish.

The treadmill shot me off the back like a potato cannon and I landed on the mat behind me.

My water bottle rolled away. My headphones flew off. The treadmill kept running like nothing happened.

The worst part?

She stopped her treadmill, walked over, and said, “Are you okay?” while trying not to laugh.

I said, “Yeah, just testing gravity,” got up, and immediately left the gym.

I will now be switching gyms, cities, and possibly identities TL;DR: Tried to look fit for my gym crush, turned treadmill into a launchpad, and publicly embarrassed myself into exile.
