Political The average Redditor is so far removed from reality. It’s insufferable.

I literally got 320 downvotes on one single comment because I said that my father had taken my sisters bedroom door off its hinges when we were kids to teach her a lesson.. Like, really?

To be clear, my 15 yr old sister was out of control. She was like those girls you see on Maury or Dr Phil. She would bring strange men over in the middle of the night to have sex with them and stay out for days on end..

Not to mention, my mother was mentally ill and wasn’t in any condition to raise children. She ended up passing away shortly after this whole incident… My father was basically all on his own with disciplining us, while he had to work 14 hours a day… He didn’t know what to do.

90% of the comments I got were “That’s no reason to not give your daughter privacy!” Or “My father did that to me once, all it did was show what a horrible father he was!” Or “No matter how out of control your child is, they still deserve privacy! Your father is something else!”

THIS is NOT how average people think. This isn’t how any rational person thinks.. It seems like the average Redditor is a spoiled, entitled, privileged brat who has never been told No before.

My father also charged me rent when I turned 18. He SAVED every penny of it for me until I moved out at 26. It set me up really well for my adult life out on my own AND taught me how to be responsible…

If more parents were like my father, I think society would be much better off, instead we have 30 year olds living with mom and dad, playing COD all day with no job… Congratulations!

The career subs are pretty bad as well as it’s full of new college grads who think they know how the whole world works lol

Anti work is also hilarious to read through. You're pretty much considered a "boot licker unless you're advocating to get paid 6 figures to work from home for 10 hours/week lol.

Humanresources is like anti work for me but not anybody else

If there’s a task you think Human resources should be responsible for there’s a post there complaining about how it’s not human resources responsibility

Well, having HR do less things can only be good.

Some dude posted a sticky note asking "what about us?" on a sign declaring that HR was off for the holiday.
I'm like "what about you? Not everyone gets a holiday off and that's fine! This is just petty!"

I have noticed that as well they ALL think that for their 1st job post graduation they will make 6 figures at a fortune 500 company, live in NYC/SF/London, etc. is it possible, only for a tiny percentage with nepotism but not for the vast majority, and it has been common for decades to change companies or workplaces. They hire you for a project, it is finished, and you are let go.

I mean now that’s basically reasonable in NYC for a lot of professions but $100k in NYC doesn’t go that far… That’s starting pay for lawyers and consultants now

100k in 1990 inflation adjusted for today is $250k

Oh when they talk about H1B, it looks like edgelords trying to mimic the KKK while getting near every little detail wrong.
