Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

"The football, puck and basketball are all violent definitions of masculinity. The more you score the more you’re paid. It’s violence for profit, the war in Iraq, violence for profit, Hollywood and cinema, violence for profit. But what we really need to be concerned about is an eight month old baby."

Really? Why is there so much rage against sports on this subreddit? This seems to be a really annoying recurring theme. Is it because some in the MRM want to take away masculinity as a whole and turn everyone androgynous in a misguided attempt to make everyone "equal" by making them all the same? Is it because someone got picked last for the kickball team in fourth grade?

There's nothing wrong with football. It's not a "violent definition of masculinity." It's a game. It is in the nature of a human to be competitive and it's better played out on a football field or volleyball court than on the street with guns.
