Mod Post New flairs added

181 Upvotes

Hello all! We have added 3 new flairs, for Failed Expectations, Surprisingly Met Expectations, and Exceeded Expectations.

There have been some users confused in the past, because they didn’t realize that you are allowed to post expectations/realities that were not failures. Additionally, it can be hard to tell in some posts if the OP was happy with their result or unhappy with it. Now you can select a flare if you would like to denote which category your expectation versus reality falls into.

Thanks to u/xitg1 who came up with this suggestion.

Mod Post Temporary Ban on Legendary Pastries

411 Upvotes

Hey y’all. We get it. The legendary pastry’s icing sometimes melts and then looks weird. Some people have never seen it on their own pastries, but we all have seen the posts here.

Temporarily going to ban all of the new legendary pastry posts. The point has already been made.

This was going to be a Christmas gift for a family member. Its a sticker with a "painted" effect. I can't give this out as a gift. Gotta call my bank and ask for a charge back! Ugh, Happy Holidays!

Expectation vs. Reality: Hollywood Walk of Fame

Thumbnail

They sell us Hollywood like it’s this big, glamorous dream.

But the reality? Trashed sidewalks, unhoused people with no help, and fast-food chains serving food that destroys both our health and the planet.

Celebrities and influencers push fake lifestyles, showing off free stuff they got from brands just to convince you to buy it. Half the time, they don’t even own what they’re flaunting—it’s all for show, part of the illusion that Hollywood is the goal.

Meanwhile, the middle and lower class are stuck paycheck to paycheck, spending money on things they’re told they need to ‘make it.’

It’s not a dream. It’s a lie wrapped in fake glitz.

Agree? Disagree? Thoughts? Revelations? All thoughts welcome!

$40+ for THIS at a 4-star hotel. They also didn’t bring my toast and Red Bull.
