Answer: it's just drama between to left leaning political streamers. One is a socdem, one is a leftist. This obviously means they disagree on a number of things, and so they argue sometimes. This is just the biggest one yet, as they (especially destiny) seem to be bringing out issues they had but never vocalized. To truly understand the argument itself you would need a shit ton of context that you are unlikely to be interested in.

Answer: It looks like the link in question used to be to a page, for which the poster received payment for traffic/ad revenue. According to the angry comment, at any rate. The sub you linked to is /r/freefolk, a notoriously... independent subreddit, and tend to react aggressively to slights or insults. In this case, the insult is jumping into a subreddit which has recently exploded in users, and attempting to make a cash grab with a comment. The account has since been deleted, so just one of many that person is using to make money off of Reddit comments.

Answer: It’s a type of spelling that started in the black community, primarily black and gay community. It’s another way of saying something like “that’s all” or “end of story.” It’s grown in popularity recently and is used through social media and even some hip hop songs.

Answer: Because his Robbie Rotten song "We are #1" where he runs around trying to teach his 4 clones how to be good Saturday morning cartoon supervillians was the big video editing meme a couple years ago. He embraced being a meme and even got the doubles together for a reunion reading of it, so everyone doubled down on rallying behind him.

Answer: as said before, Stefán played the role of Robbie Rotten in the kids' show Lazy Town. One episode includes a musical number, "We are Number One", that got incredibly popular on Internet and spawned a whole genre of parodies and memes of various kinds. However, during the meme's popularity, it was discovered Stefán had cancer. Stefán and the show's team decided to play with the meme's popularity and released various instrumental tracks of the song so making parodies and memes would be easier, and various kinds of money-gathering initiatives were put in place by random internet denizens to try and help Stefán through his cancer. This worked not once, but TWICE - Stefán's cancer got into remission twice, although the third time would end up be fatal to him. However, the meme and the fight against his cancer also brought attention to his person beyond the character he played, and Internet discovered that he was a person with various "wholesome" views on life, and that he deeply enjoyed We are Number One being a meme, even uploading a video about WaNO becoming "meme of the year" and thanking all of his "meme friends". tl;dr Stefán is widely remembered because he loved memes involving him and was seen as an uplifting person for various reasons. Here is his Youtube channel if you want to build your own opinion of him : https://www.youtube.com/user/stefankarl1 edit : corrected typing errors

Answer: The courts ruled a while back that since Trump is using his own personal Twitter account for official business, it's considered a matter of public record. As such, he can't block people from being able to hear/see his comments as President. While he or others around him have tried to argue it's still just a personal account, it's considered functionally equivalent to an official source of information, and is being treated as such (especially since he's not using @POTUS to do anything but retweet his own account). It violates the free speech rights of those blocked by not allowing them to be part of what is considered a public forum and conversation.

Answer: \-Mumkey Jones started a podcast called Boomer vs Zoomer and met a girl called Liu the Kitty at his first live recording. They began an affair with him cheating on his live-in girlfriend/provider and her cheating on a 15 y/o boy she was "grooming". [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xehpPQR8H_M) ​ \-Mumkey got caught/confessed and blamed it on his depression. [Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kelEfY6rlJY) ​ \-Shortly after coming clean, Mumkey and his girlfriend broke up and he moved back to his home state. He's currently medicated and, despite his fans/family's disapproval, still dates Liu the Kitty (who has admitted she prefers the 15 y/o) because he spent 3 days on tinder and convinced himself he has no other options. [Source 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYvC1YvplGg) [Source 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nylt6ZvyJXw&t=2s) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ​ I was at the live show where he met Liu the Kitty and I got him to autograph a library book, so this speculation is coming from a fan sad to see one of his heroes in a downward spiral (not a professional): ​ Mumkey wasn't emotionally ready for the fame he earned. Cheating, getting caught, and being sad about it is typical ~~toxic masculinity~~ guy behavior, but he's shown a lot of signs of narcissistic manipulation towards his friends, family, ex and current gf. His own fans are criticizing him and he doesn't know how to cope with it even after making a career mocking those who dealt with similar situations poorly. He's "engaged" to a girl who constantly trash talks him publicly, risks losing a career he was thriving in just last year, and has damaged most of his close relationships. Even worse, he's dealing with all of these extremely personal issues on a completely public forum. Mumkey wasn't known for being the most emotionally stable before the fame and having all that success slip through his fingers just when it came within reach must be devastating. ​ **TL;DR** \- He's dating an hebephile named Liu the Kitty despite his friends', family's, and fans' advice not to. He deals with these criticisms by attempting to manipulate those around him. Depression and medication have severly affected his personality. ​ **Edit** \- all of the source videos average about an hour long but can be listened to if you don't have time to sit and watch ​ **More Edits -** Guys the "toxic masculinity" thing was a joke. It's hard to discuss this without offending at least one gender so I erred on the side of "progressivism" since this is reddit. Stop being so offended by words you snowflakes. The word hebephile was used only for the sake of clinical accuracy. I personally believe it's pedophilia but idk what counts as "unbiased" on this sub so I chose the factually inarguable word. I do appreciate everyone calling me out on that though because we can't let them normalize creepy behavior.

Answer: The uncanny Valley is a term used to describe something that feels real or human, but isn't. This causes a sense of unease as the brain tries to rectify these two differing viewpoints. In this scenario, the uncanny Valley is referencing the photo realist nature of the new Lion King animation. Our brain knows these aren't real lions, but they've been created to look like real lions. Most people have seen real lions in some way. We understand how they look, move, make noise, hunt, eat, these are all observations of genuine lions. The animation is meant to evoke that, straight down to the way their fur moves in the wind, but they aren't real, and we know this. Their mouths don't move right, the noise they make is wrong, it's all wrong and weird. That's the uncanny Valley

Answer: The uncanny valley describes how people react to a robot or animated character as the become more and more realistic. When you look at a simple cartoon, like the original Lion King, generally audiences like the characters and have a positive reaction to them. But the more realistic something becomes, [the more reactions and likability plummet](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Uncanny_valley.png): the lion looks weird, unsettling, and people generally have a negative reaction. But once you get past this point, people start to react positively to the character again, it passes a threshold where its accepted again. This is a particular problem with robots and computer generated characters, like in a movie or video game. It can be measured (that graphic is from [one such study](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010027715300640?via%3Dihub)), and [there are several theories as to why](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley#Theoretical_basis), but the bottom line is there is a zone where people get uncomfortable with whatever their looking at. Its difficult to explain, but there's something that makes look *wrong*. This is also somewhat subjective, and certain people will be more accepting than others, especially on the edges. To counteract this, designers tend to focus on one side or the other: they'll intentionally sacrifice realism or work extremely hard to make whatever they're working on very realistic. Specifically regarding Lion King, the Disney team strove to make the film [extremely photorealistic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TavVZMewpY). But for some people they didn't overcome the uncanny valley, so the animals look off, unsettling, and would impact their enjoyment of the film. Thus they have decided not going to go see a film whose characters don't look right.

Anyone calling it a "Stomp" is pushing an agenda.

I've been seeing all over Facebook about some USWNT players stomping all over US flags during their Gold Medal celebration a week ago. https://imgur.com/trsxchI Edit: Holy crap this getting downvoted to heck, I'm genuinely curious since today is the first day I've heard anything about it.

Answer: after the women soccer team won the championship, they were celebrating and one of the gals who had control of the flag set it down on the ground to do a little celebration dance with some of her teammates. You then see another player jump in to pick it up. There was no stomping. Opinion time: this is manufactured outrage from right leaning people. I hate all this blind hatred for bad orange man and social justice nonsense but this is clearly a case of a player who just won a championship being lost in the heat of the moment. We just got off the heels of Kaepernick being a crybaby, so it looks like they wanted something else to be weirdly upset over.

Answer: There's no conspiracy to get the sub banned. The sub was always about decrying the bans of "ironically edgy"/alt-right subs. When those subs got shut down, WRD was were they went to post the stuff they did before.

What is going on with r/WatchRedditDie and the powermod/brigading/conspiracy drama?
A subreddit I liked to lurk on often, [r/WatchRedditDie](https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/), is currently going through some major drama. I liked to frequent the sub to find the latest subreddit drama, mod abuse, admin abuse, etc. etc. But now it seems to be going through drama itself. Brigading from [r/TopMindsOfReddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/TopMindsOfReddit/) (wouldn't be surprising at all if this is true), [Gallowboob](https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchRedditDie/comments/cbcbbj/trust_no_one/), powermods, [alternative accounts](https://imgur.com/SbqiHw2), [conspiracies](https://imgur.com/3cJIB4y), DRAMA. It seems to be a conspiracy that is leading to a subreddit ban, similar to what may have happened with [r/CringeAnarchy](https://www.reddit.com/r/CringeAnarchy/), some say. It all very much excites me watching redditors wage wars against each other but the sad thing is that this is a sensitive situation that is rapidly developing and changing and it's hard for me to understand the timeline. Can anybody clear this whole thing up for me?

Answer: John McAfee is a man who made quite a lot of money by creating a company that made Antivirus software (and selling it off). He has since become.... colorful. He openly states that he does not pay taxes, may have murdered his neighbor in Belize (and subsequently fled to Guatemala), his Belizean home later burned down with no clear cause, he states he has 47 children, and ran for President of the United States in 2016. He seems to have paranoid delusions and the belief that "They" are out to get him. On the other hand, with things like the Belizean authorities accusing him of murder and, after seizing and auctioning off his assets, losing interest in him two years later and him openly stating he does not pay taxes (but still returning to the US and maintaining his citizenship) there's no doubt that there are some people who are genuinely out to get him, such as the IRS. He's basically a moderately wealthy kook, and half his notoriety is from interviews and his tweets, where he presents a fantastic reality that may or may not be based in some factual occurrences. He's basically notable the same way a derailed clown-only circus train is notable - you're going to drive by and there may be some good points about railway safety in there but... that's not why you're watching.

Answer: JGL is the founder of a company named [hitRECord](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HitRecord). This company was founded with the goal of bringing artists together to provide art for projects and get paid. This sounds fine, but the catch is that artists submit their work for free and only get paid if their work is implemented in the product. This process, if popularised, would introduce massive instability to the art profession, which is notoriously stable /s . Traditionally, they enter into a contract and get paid when they submit the work (or at set intervals for larger projects, or split between project start and end, or all at project start, it varies). Knowing that they will get paid is what allows them to work without the fear of starvation. If they only get paid if/when their work is implemented, that certainty is taken away. Now, hitRECord was founded in 2004, so why all the recent hubbub? Well, long-awaited game Beyond Good and Evil 2 was announced at E3 2018, and JGL walked up on stage to tell us all the good news, that *your* work, yes yours, could be in the game! Experienced artists are usually pretty good at smelling a ripoff, so while the average E3 watcher celebrated, they started spreading the news about why this was such a raw deal, and apparently they haven't stopped.

Answer: The author of JoJo's Bizzare Adventure is a huge fan of Western Rock, so he's been naming characters and their powers after bands, songs, or singers ever since the manga started such as: Robert E.O. Speedwagon, DIO (pretty much the main villain of the series, so he's the biggest casualty), Purple Haze, Crazy Diamond, Pearl Jam, Born This Way, Gold Experience, Notorious B.I.G., etc. The manga has been adapted and a season is currently close to ending right now, so you'll be seeing this trend around for a while since the series is pretty popular.

What is up with these random anime references in the comment sections of a couple of Classic Rock videos?
For some time now, there's been a phenomenon or meme that I see the comment sections of many classic rock songs being flooded with references to some kind of anime that's called JoJo.

Answer: JoJo is full of musical references. Specifically, 1: There is a villain named Dio Brando/DIO, referencing Ronnie James Dio. 2: There is a Stand named Purple Haze, referencing the song by Jimi Hendrix. 3: In the first part of JoJo, there is a character named Robert E.O. Speedwagon, referencing REO Speedwagon. 4: Roundabout is the ending song for Part 1:Phantom Blood. And that's just some of the references. Most characters and Stands are based on pop culture references and songs.

Answer: Tucker Carlson, a Fox News anchor and political pundit, recently came out with a statement on his show about Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, calling her a "living fire alarm" and saying she is "living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country." The implication being that because she is not white, she is a problem. Because of this statement, Omar took note of and publicized a list of advertisers running on Tucker's program, including Starkist, Nutrisystem, and WeatherTech, along with a call for them to drop their sponsorship of Fox News and Tucker Carlson or face a boycott. And the people, at least the Democrats, are responding to this with calls to these companies to drop Fox or be dropped.

Answer: The reason #dropfox is peaking now is because Tucker Carlson, a Fox pundit, recently ranted about statements made by Rep. Ilhan Omar in which she criticized American treatment of minorities and refugees. His argument was that she should be grateful to America for what she has, and that immigration is harming the country by bringing in citizens like her that "hate" America. She took his statements as racist and white supremacist and retweeted a post by Bend the Arc: Jewish Action which listed advertisers and plugged #dropfox. The #dropfox protest movement actually started back in March. Fox has been bleeding advertisers for a long time, and in March they held an emergency meeting to try and curry favor with advertisers before ad contract season in May. #dropfox was started to try and use this vulnerability to push even more advertisers away from the network while there was still time. It didn't quite succeed at the time, but it seems like the rhetoric and hashtags are being co-opted for this current event. The protest has a website at https://www.dropfox.com that pretty clearly sums up their argument.

Answer: Donald Trump has a rather storied history of going after questionably young women. [From barging into the Miss Teen USA dressing room with girls as young as 15](https://nypost.com/2016/10/12/former-teen-beauty-queens-say-trump-barged-into-their-dressing-room/) - to quote his own words to Howard Stern on the matter: > Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting, I want to make sure that everything is good. > You know, the dresses. ‘Is everyone okay?’ You know, they're standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody okay?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good. [To the details of the allegations that he raped a 13-year old girl at one of Epstein's parties](http://thememoryhole2.org/blog/doe-v-trump). The woman in this lawsuit ended up refusing to go forward, presumably due to death threats made against her. I recall another bit of sworn testimony that said he also had relations with twelve year olds, but I can't find it at the moment. **Edit 1:** [Jezebel has an article going into a number of oddities regarding this woman and her charges](https://jezebel.com/heres-how-that-wild-lawsuit-accusing-trump-of-raping-a-1782447083). The tl;dr of this article is this woman is a mystery person of sorts who went to extreme lengths to hide her identity. She appears to have attempted the suit twice in different jurisdictions, the phone number she uses is disconnected and no one was living at the address she listed in the court documents. She reiterates that her life and the lives of her family were threatened, but skepticism on this count is certainly understandable. [Donald Trump openly admitted to a very long relationship with known pedophile Epstein - including hinting that he understood the man was a pedophile](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-called-epstein-a-terrific-guy-before-denying-relationship-with-him/2019/07/08/a01e0f00-a1be-11e9-bd56-eac6bb02d01d_story.html?utm_term=.1b8fde50d9bc), so it's not like he can just sweep this under the rug. [Donald Trump also recounts 17-year old Ivanka making him swear not to date anyone younger than her](https://theweek.com/speedreads/652309/listen-donald-trump-recount-how-17yearold-daughter-made-swear-not-date-someone-younger-than). The idea that Trump has wanted to bang his daughter has long been a running gag, involving potentially questionable photos and at least [one questionable video interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP7yf8-Lk80). [He is also connected to Cindy Yang](https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/2189400/who-cindy-yang-china-born-founder-florida-spa-busted), though what she's involved in and why she is so close to the Trumps is a moderately open question. ---- All of this is fairly old, of course. Three things are new: 1) Trump [had a private party at Mar-a-Logo with Epstein and 28 girls](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/07/women-sent-mar-a-lago-vip-calendar-girl-party-trump-epstein.html), though I haven't seen any details regarding their ages, though the allegations of what is said - implying that Epstein was a known predator at the time - is disturbing. 2) After Epstein's openly corrupt plea deal was invalidated, he was recently arrested again, and a [trove of CDs full of alleged child pornography were found in a locked safe](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/08/nyregion/jeffrey-epstein-charges.html). 3) William Barr [looks to be refusing to recuse himself over Jeffrey Epstein's case](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-09/barr-won-t-recuse-himself-from-new-case-against-jeffrey-epstein) which has added more fuel to the fire, in part because [Barr's father hired Epstein to teach at a high school in the 70's](https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/william-barr-reveals-has-recused-himself-from-jeffrey-esptein-case-heres-the-reason-he-gave/), which has led to questions of how closely tied the two of them might be. ---- Part of what is driving it, of course, are the widespread qanon hoaxes claiming that Hillary and Podesta were involved in child sex trafficking because 'cheese pizza' abbreviates to cp and we all know what that stands for so the Clintons were obviously guilty. Whatever you make of the allegations against Trump, the accusations against him are far more credible even before taking to account that they are frequently backed by his own words on the matter.

Answer: As far as I can tell, it started whn user jessica_ftw posted a picture of herself on /r/roastme with a good natured joke about how she's currently largely pre-op (apparently hasn't had gender reassignment - or whatever the term for it is - yet, scheduled for November). In the thread, Mod smokiefish saw that other mods were removing apparently hateful/bigoted comments, and restored them, along with stickying the comment you linked to regarding "tranny" (which I'm pretty sure is considered a more derogatory term at this point) getting surgery not actually making her a woman and questionable stats about suicide rates and regret. He had his mod privileges revoked for it, since /r/RoastMe has the rule for their roasters: > This is a comedy subreddit, not a hate subreddit. Act as though you are trying to make an audience laugh. Smokiefish went on to complain about it on /r/WatchRedditDie , to some support, while the folks on /r/TopMindsofReddit are... less enthusiastic. Smokefish apparently has something of a history of bigoted behavior, including a [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/bs9gor/harriet_tubman_was_a_criminal_and_should_not_be/) on /r/unpopularopinion titled "Harriet Tubman was a criminal and should not be glorified." The actual content of the post has since been removed, but you can get the general idea from the thread's title, as well as commenting on it that Andrew Jackson (responding to a comment about Jackson being responsible for the Trail of Tears) was "one of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen. Only revisionist history makes him look bad." There's also such gems as: * [Calling a white person “cracker” is equally as offensive as using the “n-word”](https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/bd350v/calling_a_white_person_cracker_is_equally_as/) * [Black Americans should be grateful that their ancestors were slaves](https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/be2q6b/black_americans_should_be_grateful_that_their/) * [I support reparations for slavery](https://www.reddit.com/r/unpopularopinion/comments/bd2qwx/i_support_reparations_for_slavery/) - With his comments essentially saying on *exactly* slave owners and slaves should be involved in reparations discussions, and since they're all dead it's a non-issue that shouldn't be address anymore * Lots of posting to T_D The guy basically has a history of bigotry that violated /r/RoasteMe 's rule about being a comedy sub and not a hate sub, and they revoked his mod status over it.

A reddit user who was an APA for Walmart was fired for their pro-union stance, something Walmart spends a lot of resources preventing and breaking up anytime it pops up in one of their stores. The posts in /r/walmart are the response to that.

Answer: Regulation. Constant vigilance. Anti-competitive behaviour could for instance be using the power you gained in one market to try to gain an advantage in another. Prime example for this would be Microsoft. They used their dominance on the PC to pre-install Internet Explorer. Which in turn hurt the competition. They got slapped down for that. Which took ages. A more recent example would be Google using their dominance on the cell-phone OS market to push their search engine. I have a feeling that the Alphabet stunt Google pulled was a way to escape such traps. That hadn't worked with Ma Bell and Standard Oil(IIRC).

Answer: I can give some insight into Walmart as a whole. Walmart is EXTREMELY anti union. When you go into orientation, they will spend half the day telling you how unions are just money grubbing elitists that want your hard earned money. And they will fire anyone for even talking about the unionizing attempt known as Our Walmart. There have even been times where a store has successfully unionized, and Walmart just shut down the store opening a new one practically across the street to get away from it. When there are worker strikes, they will fire them for some minor unrelated activity and replace the workers. This is how anti union they are. Now r/Walmart is primarily used by Walmart employees to talk about their workplace. So it looks as if one person gave too much info to where they could promptly be fired due to their talks. However, Walmart will keep “dirt” on someone that is fireable for up to 6 months so that they can fire you at any time for an unrelated reason. Employees of Walmart have become increasingly restless at how Walmart handles employees. And most any good employee will eventually find another job within weeks to a year. But because people will still work for Walmart, there is no pressure for Walmart to ever change. So all people can do is post memes about it and hopefully they don’t give away enough personal identifying info.

What's going on with R/walmart and unionising?
It seems like the Walmart subreddit is being flooded with pro-union memes. https://www.reddit.com/r/walmart/ One of the memes is saying that Walmart used reddit to fire somebody. What happened? Is there a genuine union movement growing?

Answer: To keep it simple and accurate, a user of /r/walmart was recently fired for posting information on a new (and not great) program coming down from our Home Office. Since the information was confidential and posted to the subreddit, HO apparently had our Global Ethics division begin an investigation on the user that ended with the user being fired from their job and taking down most of their posts on the subreddit. In their final post they mentioned: * that it was the subreddit post that got them fired and there was information from their profile printed out * that they had wanted to try to start a union before they had quit Given that HO was obviously watching the subreddit, the users have decided to 'rebel' and post pro-union stuff in support of the user and in honesty.

Answer: Worked for Comcast in a management role. If a representative even whispered the word "Union" we are instructed to stop whatever we are doing to bring it to higher management. Then there is a large discussion between management and HR about this particular persons circle of influence and if they had enough grab within the center to possibly bring in a union rep. Usually it was just noise, but they took it very, very seriously.

Answer: There's a well involved OOTL discussion on /r/NintendoSwitch that answers this: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/cbtywl/why_was_rmariomaker_set_to_private/ Basically, the mods don't want to deal with additional traffic generated from being added to the trending subreddits list. So their solution was to set the sub entirely private - even preventing access to people who were already subscribed. And, originally, using it as an opportunity to promote (presumably) one of their own levels. Seems, based on the Nintendo Switch sub discussion, that this is going to be an effective way to drive people away from that sub and toward /r/MarioMaker2.

Answer: This seems to have been kicked off by Disney's casting of a black actress (Halle Bailey) in the role of Ariel for the live-action remake of *The Little Mermaid*. Some people seem to be genuinly upset by a fictional white cartoon character being portrayed by a black actress, and we started seeing memes "recasting" white actors and actresses into black roles (such as the *Boyz N the Hood* meme you linked). Now we also seeing a lot of memes mocking the folks who are actually upset about this, as well as folks just hopping on the train and making "recasting" memes strictly for their humor value, such as one that made the front-page yesterday casting Kevin Hart as *Snow White* and Duane "The Rock" Johnson as all *Seven Dwarfs*.

Answer: If you're a non-Latino, US birth certificate holder, you'd just have another question to answer. However, people that aren't are worried that the question could be used for ulterior motives (which isn't exactly an unfounded belief). Since the census has always been a count of residents, not citizens, illegal immigrants and people who have iffy immigration status could confidently fill it out without worrying about deportation. This can supress counts and result in worse distribution of services. That is, if the census doesn't get blocked altogether via the enforcement of the Supreme Court's ruling (that the question can't legally be added), or Trump electing to postpone it. Which now means we're in yet another constitutional crisis, this time emulating Jackson's act of ignoring the Supreme Court totally.

What's going on with trump adding citizenship questions to a census? How will it affect everyone?
A lot of news websites don't seem to exactly explain what they mean by this and how it exactly affects everyone. Would it just lead to counts being off? Got it from sites such as https://www.ktvn.com/story/40716725/justice-department-shaking-up-legal-team-on-census-1 https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/trump-sets-news-conference-on-census-citizenship-question-1708561/

Answer: It would literally just be another question. However, if you are not a citizen, especially if you are not in the country legally, you might refrain from answering the census at all if it asks about your citizenship status. This would probably lead to an inaccurate count (because even those in the country illegally are supposed to be counted in the census, but many of them presumably won't fill out the census, and will not therefore be counted). For complicated reasons, this is presumed to benefit communities with a high percentage of citizens (think wealthy suburbs) and harm communities with a relatively low percentage of citizens (think poor urban areas). Theoretically this might end up making urban districts slightly smaller (since a city of 1,000,000 might only be counted as 990,000), with more actual people piled into them. The odds are that this would benefit the Republican party, but it is an open question about how significant that benefit would be. ... In any case, the Supreme Court recently issued a complex, mixed ruling on this. They ruled that the government absolutely does have the power to ask about citizenship, but that the Secretary responsible for the census needs to give a good reason for it. The Court ruled that the Secretary gave a baloney reason and therefore ordered the Secretary to give a truer reason for his decision. In the meantime, the question cannot be placed on the census. There are a TON of forms that have to be printed out for the census and indeed they are already printing them, so this probably means that the Secretary can't get his reason approved in time. Therefore, finally, there will almost certainly NOT be a citizenship question on this particular census. Whoever wins the 2028 Presidential election, however, will have the right to insert a citizenship question for the 2030 census if they desire.

Answer: Not claiming to be an expert and if I’ve missed something or got something wrong please correct me but I believe there was a reporting ban out in place by the court so to not have the jury influenced by the media and the defendants can have a fair trial. However Tommy Robinson turned up and live streamed it on Facebook and put the whole case at risk because there was a reporting ban in place and by streaming he broke law by being in contempt of court which carries a sentence of up to two years

Answer: Stephen Yaxley Lennon, who goes by the pen name Tommy Robinson, is a career criminal with a long list of convictions such as brawling with the police, brawling at football matches, possession of cocaine with the intent to sell, illegal entry to the United States on a fake passport, almost £1 million in mortgage fraud, and recently was convicted of his second count of Contempt of Court, a serious crime as it risks not allowing defendants a fair trial and for trials to collapse, when he recorded, asked questions to, and encouraged the harassment of men heading into court for sentencing during a media ban on a series of linked trials for paedophilia (this ban was to ensure a fair trial as it would inevitably be a very politically charged trial, as Stephen proved, and despite that trial being over, another for the same case was going to begin so the ban was still in effect), now despite Stephen claims there were other journalists there who were reporting on the trial within the bounds of the law, by not giving out details about the defendants, victims, or putting their faces on live video, this was not his first case of Contempt of Court, he was previously convicted when he went into court recording despite passing signs informing him that his acts could risk a mistrial and was informed by security that those were the potential consequences of his actions and that they were illegal, for which he was given a suspended prison sentence on the condition he does not commit the same offence again, which he did, and was just sentenced for as for the protests, his supporters believe Stephen was unjustly prosecuted when he recorded himself breaking the law, he has also tried to apply for Asylum to the US, the nation he previously attempted to enter with a fake passport

Answer: someone created a Facebook event to “storm Area 51, they can’t stop all of us”, in the logic that if enough people attempted to access the highly secure US military research facility, the government could not prevent everyone from entering the compound and potentially discovering rumored weapons or evidence of extraterrestrial life. Since the post was created, over 250,000 people said they were interested in the event, with thousands saying that they will participate (although most likely the majority of these people will not). The internet found this understandably amusing, and has made memes out of it, mostly relating to how the military could easily mow down thousands of people, or how the superior tactic of naruto running could prevent the bullets from cutting down these heroes (worked in the boxer rebellion, right?).

Answer: About 3 weeks ago, Joe Rogan had a guy named Bob Lazar on his podcast. Bob Lazar claimed to be a scientist working at a site near Area 51 entitled S-4 where he worked on alien technology that effectively confirmed their existence. Netflix went on to add a documentary of the man and his story last month as well, causing a resurgence of interest in the Area 51/alien conspiracies. Most recently, someone created a Facebook group encouraging people to storm Area 51 en masse and discover the truth. Safety in numbers type deal. And of course, recent internet trends always lead to memes.

Answer: A joke/meme event created on Facebook to storm area 51 has aproximately 300,000 (as of the time of writing) people registered to go. The event basically says they're going to "see them aliens" and how they're going to naruto run faster than their bullets. It's just a meme that blew up and went viral super fast and is just getting bigger and bigger.

Out of nowhere today I found tons of memes about Area 51 on my feed such as [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/dankmemes/comments/cc1hmn/they_cant_get_all_of_us/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app) and [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/dankmemes/comments/cc05m4/let_it_begin_lads/) I have no idea what this is about and how it got trending so fast.

Answer: I think additionally it started up more because of the recent episode of Joe Rogan’s podcast wherein he got to talk with Bob Lazar. Regardless of whether or not he was truthful his story was very compelling, and I think it was just what some people needed to take the initiative to start up the the “Storming of Area 51” page on Facebook. On top of that, The documentary about Lazar was just released on Netflix a couple of weeks ago or a month ago and again, people ate it up. I enjoyed it, and it was certainly compelling, but who knows. I like to wonder, lol. And here’s something a bit unrelated to the answer but it’s funny at least to me:I live in Vegas because I go to school out there and my history professor for my military history of the US class talks about it every now and then as a goof and refers to it as “the place that doesn’t exist up north” and the whole class laughs and enjoys his humor

Answer: There is a Facebook group/event “Storm Area 51” a bunch of people plan on storming a military base with the sole purpose of trying to see what’s hidden “behind the scenes”. The logic is that if enough people overwhelm the soldiers, someone will eventually get in. It's important to note that the group was created by a meme page, and claimed that if we naruto run we can dodge their bullets.

Answer: Your question is a Repost but I’ll answer anyway... Apparently a group of individuals online have pledged to storm Area 51 on that day in order to get past the ominous security that lurks in the shadows when you approach the vicinity. They intend on seeing the truth behind the curtain. What's even more interesting is if the optics of this thing gain notoriety the intelligence sector will become aware of this plan that is being formulated and adjust their OPSEC and other security accordingly. Here's a link for more details: [Pledge To Storm Area 51 ](https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2019/07/53000-people-have-pledged-to-storm-area-51-this-fall/) Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/c9yszx/whats_going_on_with_this_event_on_september_20th/et4lbof/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app Edit: Formatting

Answer: It's essentially the black people twitter equivalent of "boys 1, girls 0" or vice-versa. ~~It didn't come from anywhere in particular,~~ and whether it's "10,000" or "1,000,000" is just emphasis. It's often used in contexts [like this](https://twitter.com/official_obando/status/1148262770909077504?s=09). EDIT: I stand corrected, it apparently originated from a hip-hop artist.

What is the deal with r/the_haven?
Okay this has been a bit of a bother for me over the last 2 years. There is a subreddit named r/the_haven that is at the top of this subs "suggested reading" list. I have looked into it, and looked into it, but all I can find out about it is that they started back around 2014, and they used to issue "challenges" if you wish to join them, but nothing tells you why you may want to. Is it still an active sub? Is this just a really old in joke that I somehow fell into years after the joke pit was dug? I am on mobile, so I am sorry for the bad formating. Also imgur was not taking my recaptcha so to appease the autogods here is a link to it. https://www.reddit.com/r/the_haven

Answer: The two men pictured aren't really connected in any way. The man on the left is Adil Rashid, who supposedly had sex with a 13 year old in 2013 when he was 18, claimed he didn't know it was illegal, and was released without jail time. I say "supposedly", because I can't find any non-tabloid sources for the story. The average sentence for his crime would have been around 4 years, but the judge bought his "I didn't know any better" excuse and gave him a suspended sentence. The man on the right is Tommy Robinson, a far right activist who was charged with contempt of court for livestreaming videos of defendants accused of pedophilia in an unrelated case, and encouraging his viewers to harass them. He was recently sentenced to 10 weeks in prison. (The pedophiles in that case were all convicted, and received sentences averaging around 15 years each.) Presumably the poster is angry that Rashid got less time than Robinson. My personal take: If the tabloids are right about what happened in Rashid's case, then that is an outrageous sentence. But that doesn't make it okay for Robinson to interfere with an ongoing trial in a completely different case.

Answer: from what I understand, since asexual people aren't really interested in "the nasty", they make memes about the second (or arguably, first) best thing: Garlic Bread. In short: Garlic bread > sexy sex But don't worry, they're not gatekeeping it. You can still do the nasty and eat garlic bread. You can even do both at the same time if that's your thing.

Answer: The garlic bread thing started a couple(?) of years ago. I think because of some meme comparing sex to garlic bread. It was something like "yeah sex is cool but have you ever had garlic bread?" So it took off and got really popular. And actually cake used to the be the big thing. It used to be "I rather have cake then sex". I guess garlic bread is much more memeable/relateable now, that's why you see it so much more often. Aces never would gatekeep cake, so I think you're safe eating garlic bread.

Answer: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe since it was Stefan Karl Stefansson's birthday on July 10 and he is adored by the meme community the mods decided make r/dankmemes the most active subreddit on that day. This is because Stefansson played Robbie Rotten in "we are number one" and they wanted r/dankmemes to be number one for a day. They added a bunch of new lines for the automod including one for Stefan Karl's birthday, presumably to increase activity on the sub.

Answer: Someone at Rich Energy either had or obtained access to their social media account, and posted a false statement saying that Rich Energy was terminating their contract with the Haas Formula 1 team. Rich Energy later posted a short announcement stating that they were still partnered with the Haas F1 team, that no contract termination was made, and the individual who made the tweet was in the process of being fired from the company. **TL;DR - It was a hoax by a rogue employee, Rich Energy and the Haas F1 team are most likely still partnered together.** EDIT: Read u/AimHere 's reply to my comment for a much more detailed and accurate answer.

Answer: F1 is a racing league best described as 'the playground of billionaires'. Teams can spend astronomical amounts of money in a season to just place top 3, let alone win. To help pay for this, F1 teams tend to take very - VERY - rich sponsors (think banks, cigarette companies, etc). One of these teams is Haas F1 Team, a (relatively) new competitor and the first American team to enter F1 after the last attempt at an American F1 team failed in 2010. For a while the only major sponsor Haas had was Haas Automation, the company that owned the team. However, in 2019, it gained its first major sponsor: Rich Energy. The problem? Rich Energy is a sports drink company that, by basically all available information, doesn't really sell very many energy drinks. It's available in only a few select locations, mainly clubs, and unless they're making hilariously amounts of profit per drink they should have nowhere near enough money to sponsor a F1 team at the level they did. Since the sponsorship was announced, exactly who Rich Energy are, what they sell, and how they have the money they apparently have has been an object of mass speculation amongst F1 fans and journalists. A good summary of what's been found is available [here.](https://jalopnik.com/what-you-find-when-you-look-into-rich-energy-the-myste-1833303620) This digging and speculation apparently pissed off Rich Energy - or at least one of its employees - enough that they sent out a tweet saying Rich Energy is cancelling it's sponsorship of Haas F1 because the sponsorship is underperforming. They also claim that >The politics and PC attitude in F1 is also inhibiting our business. (Direct quote. I didn't leave anything out of the story, so, no, I don't know what they mean either) Since then, Rich Energy has put out another statement readable [here](https://jalopnik.com/f1-sponsor-rich-energy-now-blames-rogue-employee-for-ye-1836281581). Tl;dr: they're blaming an executive for shooting off a tweet with no backing from the company. That's all the information we have right now, so it's.... bizarre, to put it mildly.

Answer: there was a popular tweet a couple weeks ago that said something along the lines of "no offense but what the fuck was with that cheerleader song being everywhere in 2015". People are talking about it again because of the shared nostalgia and reflection on the fact it IS kind of an odd song to be so popular. Cheerleader is a song that was absolutely everywhere but then everyone forgets it exists as soon as it leaves the radio

Answer: Other comment kinda missed the point of the question IMO, so I'll answer. Twitch text to speech memes have been around for a long time, but a specific few have become pretty popular lately. On some streams, when you donate, you have the option to send a message with your donation, and a voice will read your message with text to speech. On some of these huge streams, when your message is read with text to speech, sometimes up to 20,000 people are hearing exactly what you wrote, so its no question that memes would start up from this. A few text to speech memes that have become popular are "2?" "L_?" and "777", each of which are popular because they sound funny to a lot of viewers when the text to speech voice reads them (In the case of the 777 one, people will usually fill up the text box with 7s so the dono takes forever to read) So naturally, more and more people started to send donations with messages that were something along the lines of one of these memes. The reason for the 😂emoji is that a lot of Twitch users don't find these text to speech memes funny anymore, and they use the emoji to make fun of them and imply that only normal people (not the hardcore Twitch fans) would find them funny. A lot of this is because the text to speech memes got popular from a streamer named xQc, who's constantly made fun of for streaming to an audience of "normies" as they like to say. Twitch chat loves to fight, so this is basically one big slap fight revolving around the argument of "Fuck you your meme isn't funny" and "No fuck you my meme is funny. 2? L_? 777"

Answer: In the interest of full disclosure, I admit to being part of several people, amongst whom run the blog, the petition, and I have personally done several searches for evidence in order to share it with people. So, take what I say with a grain of salt, if you like. The person who runs the blog told all of us that any wrongdoing by Jared would be posted if evidence was found. It only seems biased to Heidi's supporters because, well, all the evidence we have discovered so far is overwhelmingly against Heidi. When this news first broke, none of us thought we would be doing this today. We were, or at least I was, in the stages of grief, slowly working our way towards acceptance. But when people started finding things, most importantly the debunking of the allegations of minor grooming, we felt like we needed to do something. We support Jared because he's innocent, not just because we're fans. We want to tell the truth. If we discovered that he did anything indefensible, we wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be defending him. The people at ProJared2 were content on crapping all over him like everyone else until the information started to spread, and you can see that for yourself if you just look at the oldest posts there. I recommend you read the timeline megathread posted here by undeadwizardry. Everything there has links to pictures and archives supporting each statement. I also recommend reading the truth blog and see for yourself what it says. There is a little conjecture, but every conclusion made is based on concrete facts with archived pages and screenshots to prove them. I'm proud of the work we've done and there's more to come.

TL;DR version at bottom https://youtu.be/C8LVD2kO4TE this video was posted r/AtelierHeidi I found out that r/projared was quarantined, and that r/projared2 is a thing, and that people are defending projared apparently. i vaguely know what is going on since I used to be subscribed to him on YouTube, and somewhat know about the situation between him and Heidi(personally, I'm with Heidi's side, but not too relevant to this), but seems like now I'm hearing about him again. can't seem to find a straight answer, given that r/projared2 and r/AtelierHeidi seems a bit biased, with 1 particular user going around posting a link to a tumblr blog(though, again, given the subs they are posted on, half of them claim it's wrong, biased, and holds no merit, the other say otherwise). won't share the user nor the tumblr to avoid being biased, though with a bit of searching you can probably find it on the aforementioned subreddits. pro-Heidi people are talking about how Heidi and Jared tried an open poly relationship, but didn't work, and how Jared still cheated by going behind her back, while also the whole sending nudes to minors things. Pro-projared people are saying how Heidi abused him, that he and Holly I believe weren't a thing, and how he hasn't broken any laws because he didn't know he was sending nudes to minors, and how some of them lied about their age(with the other side arguing that it didn't matter if he didn't know). that's what I got so far, but I feel like I'm either missing a lot more info, or I'm not getting the whole story. anyone mind filling me in? Tl;DR version: a few people seem to be talking about Projared again after a while. a few videos been posted about him. did something new come up?

Answer: This one guy - Chris Morgan, I think - was trying to get a bagel and a girl "made a face at him", he then did this huge rant and flipped major shit until some guy tackled him. [Here's the basic gist of it.](https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-short-tempered-bagel-boss-guy-modern-day-martin-luther-king-20190712-l3ab5tx3wvcl3byv2lcfhq4kla-story.html)

Answer: the first meme covers it all. They’ve been taking water from a village. They’ve also been saying that they believe water is a human right, not a need, and then continue to ignore those in need of water.

Answer: Simply put, the leadership of Nestle believes that it's their corporate right to take natural water reserves & sell their own bottled water for profit, regardless of local needs. They're very explicit about it. [The CEO of Nestle has called the idea that water is a human right "extreme."](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nestle-ceo-water-not-human-right/) He later backtracked and said that *only* the water you need for **basic survival** is a right.

Answer:I mean, they're calling him that because he is. His comics (Linking to Rationalwiki/others here to avoid giving him clicks) are frequently [antisemetic](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/File:StoneToss-billionaires-comic-1.png), [racist](https://i.redd.it/v4i3jf9dc9p11.png), [sexist](https://rationalwiki.org/w/images/thumb/d/d2/ST_comic_1.png/300px-ST_comic_1.png), homophobic, [transphobic](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/File:StoneToss-slippery-slope-comic1.png) and basically everything else awful on the internet. Not to mention [openly flirting with holocaust denial](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/File:ST_comic_2.png). He's also almost certainly the guy who made RedPanels, [a nazi comic that was pretty fucking blatant](https://rationalwiki.org/w/images/3/36/Daily-shoah-comic.png).* \* If you're fortunate enough to not know what's going on here: 14 is, white nationalism, derived from the "14 words" slogan. 88 is code for "Heil Hitler", as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. Approximately 6000000 jews were killed in the holocaust.

What’s the deal with StoneToss?
I’ve seen a few of their comics on this site. Within the comments people claim the creator is a nazi, bigot, etc. Can someone explain the back story? ___ [Example 1](https://reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/c88voe/rsuicidebymemes_stonetoss_the_guy_who_openly/) [Example 2](https://reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/cca2xd/the_andy_ngo_experience/) [Example 3](https://reddit.com/r/bonehurtingjuice/comments/c62iqv/oof_ouch_owie_my_alexa/)

Answer: [Thought Slime](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XdbwZbK7kGo) recently did a fairly comprehensive overview of Stonetoss. Fair warning, it shows examples of just about every kind of bigotry you can imagine from Stoney’s own work: racism, homo/transphobia, sexism, anti-Semitism, and more. Basically, he makes “meme-y” comics that usually have some kind of dogwhistles for white nationalist talking points. He’s also suspected of being the artist of “Red Panels”, which had similar talking points but didn’t even bother trying to mask it.
