The task: Daily, on or approximately around 8PM EST, identify noteworthy postings on Voat you may have passed by and not seen. Some days may have more, some less. /disclaimer
Bias: Openly my own. Rational. Based on life experiences. Happy to be educated on any and all things.
The objective: To create dialogue. Noteworthy content sometimes doesn’t make the first 4 pages of Voat. This gives that content a second chance, and can kickstart conversation.

You’ve probably been pronouncing Google wrong your entire life. Simply put, made me laugh more than it should. 5 upvoats and 28 views at time of posting – what a travesty.
-
@by2inthemorning discusses wanting to be a “lookie loo” and take his kid to a KKK rally in Ohio. I think this is one of those thought experiments which results in the bear-fucking scene in Super Troopers.
-
A constructive discussion on the merits of accelerationism, including questions on how one would even judge its effectiveness in the first place. Isn’t this maybe a conversation we should actually have?
-
Allow me to introduce you to the swastika pose. Gen Z is now learning to hide their face from cameras when doing spicy activities. Legitimate student becomes the master moment in American history.

World Order’s video’s are known for some unique choreography. They released a Trump video called Let’s start WW3. ”Let’s grab them by the pussy!” slayed me.

In March of 2016, clients of JPMorgan Chase’s Private Bank increased their minimum investible assets from $5 million to $10 million USD just to bank with them. Goldman Sachs has had a $10 million USD requirement to ope an account since 2013. Now, Goldman Sachs may be running dry of wealthy clients and have started offering a FDIC insured savings account with no minimum to the little guy, promising 100+ commission-free online stock and ETF trades with $0 minimum. Historically, it’s a bad sign when the banks lower standards (hello 2007 Real Estate crisis). Banking has always been about the highest reward for the least effort. One step forward, ten steps back kind of thing.

@Empress illuminates enrolling young daughters in ballet class to illustrate “posture, grace, fitness, and discipline”. High level idea is that there are always things one can do recreationally to better themselves, even something as simple as working out or performing a martial art. Balance your hobbies with things that give good health benefits as well as entertainment for a fuller, happier life; it has higher returns the younger you are when you start it, regardless of ideology. (Note: Exceeded popularity criteria, exception was made for stronk message)

Another day in modern America, another massive data breach. It’s easy to be angry at the company, sometimes the story is hidden in the story. This is one of those cases. An unprotected (see: configured by the cheapest outsourced IT) Amazon AWS host/client has leaked the “biodata” of Instagram’s 49 million users. Unironically, the collective Internet breathes a sign of relief that it’s not their nude selfies, but only the unimportant stuff like “their location by city and country, and contact information like the Instagram account owner’s email address and phone number.”

In a fantasy future world where we’ve synthesized literally every known material perfectly, meaning you can push a button on a screen or voice-command-demand anything you can think of and a machine with access to raw materials Harry Potter wands that shit into existence - from a glass of 80-year Highland scotch to a seven-layer-taco for 20 with endless key-lime-salted tortilla chips assisted suicide, apparently Picard wastes his retirement growing grapes on a farm with a city-scape polluted by high-rise mega-cities in the trailer for Star Trek: Picard. What would Picard be doing with his Wine selling operation in a future of full-blown machine automation and a universal labor-based currency system? Legitimately confused as to what kind of vibe they’re going for here, but at least they didn’t put Picard in a neon wig and stockings so it’s bound to be better than Star Trek: Discovery.
-
A stout conversation on how to realistically preserve some wealth of fiat currency if society were to collapse. For creative types, this is where people have random conversations and come up with new artistic ideas. Worth your time to invest in. Literally.
-
“It’s time for California parents to defy the law” is a great message. The content is Religious, and it’s somewhat poignant that Voat tends to spend a lot of time accusing the Jesus crowd of just sitting by and letting the degeneracy happen. On a side note.. maybe it’s time for everyone to defy the law.. in Minecraft.
-
@ilikeskittles uses Voat like a blog. Response working as intended.
-
In our timeline, our future evil overlord Amazon is building an emotion-detection AI. What could possibly go wrong?
-
Just a friendly PSA that TurboTax (and many others) aggressively hide the free tax filing option you’re required to receive as part of their bargain with the IRS not developing their own to compete. For most people, a 1040-EZ should be free and available electronically. You could also just stop paying taxes entirely.. in Minecraft.
-
Semi-serious discussion around the question “Are there any big cities that aren’t run by Liberals?”
-
Just a FYI that a Judge ruled Qualcomm’s licensing violated US antitrust laws. What’s that mean in English, you’re asking? You could say their business practices were similar to a no-shit Criminal Mafia, whenever possible.
-
The State of Texas opens a Gold Depository, bypassing the Federal Reserve. ”While the Texas depository is a government-owned enterprise, it nevertheless is an improvement since it is a case of decentralization (and arguably nullification) which provides alternatives to the federally controlled monetary and banking systems. As Hayek and other Austrians noted for decades, a decentralization of the monetary system is a key first step in moving toward more sound money.” - Mad Scientist responsible, Ludwig von Mises Institute economist Ryan McMaken

“Give me liberty or give me death” may have been posted to the wrong place, but it sends the right message about what happens when someone with a gun tries to carjack you and you live in a Free State. With finality.
Partially at a previous recommendation, adding a few crypto addresses as a “donation jar”. P.S. Got a neat custom badge. Word.

It's kind of like winning the losers bracket.
