      I agree they're a hive-mind, but it's probably a lack of skill more than anything. They all used the same watermark because no one was going to do the work to make their own or even use a different one.
      Which just goes to show that redditors can't create. They repost and everything must follow a trendy format otherwise they can't understand it or just don't like it.

      @@brenerden lol we shouldn't make this sound like a nature thing with the 'you redditors' lmao I switch platforms everyday but I just find Instagram comment sections filled with less creativity than Reddit, the same way how Facebook has more basic comments than insta. In addition, Reddit mods are purely in it for the connections we create they don't make any money so no one is taking advantage of anyone and the content gains traction solely based on it's quality, not the status of the poster but Instagram page owners just post memes they don't care enough to crop properly and make hundreds of thousands. (So Reddit is kinda like a communist version of twitter and insta is a socialist version). Regarding the videos, Reddit also has alot of videos and most come from TH-cam or are originally filmed and sometimes insta.

    The sound effect plays when series protagonist, Kazama Kiryu, is in a telephone club, (named Tel Tel Boys Club) and picks up a call from a young lady who hopes to go be wooed by Kiryu and taken on a date.
    5:55
    2nd Fun fact: this clip was taken from an anti piracy commercial known as Piracy: It's a Crime. The commercial was created by the Federation Against Copyright Theft along with the Motion Picture Association of America in cooperation with the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore. The commercial garnered its reputation as a meme due to its catchy statement of "You wouldn't steal a car" being remixed into the statement "you wouldn't download a car". This was considered humorous by many because the idea of downloading a car is impossible and ridiculous.

      I understand sometimes animals need to be put down, but a 90% plus put down rate? They aren't trying to adopt them out, because they don't want to. They beleive it's better to have a dead animal than one kept as a pet. They just suck.
      If you don't beleive me, just go to their website and look for information on adopting. There's NOTHING. Only "success" stories on the poor baby animals they "rescued". Even if there was a tab for information on adopting, why wouldn't it be on the front page? Shouldn't adoption be the most important goal? Oh wait, it's not, because PETA is trash and kills animals, then slanders those who call them out. Pure garbage.
