In shadows deep, where darkness roams,
There lies a tale of a troubled soul,
A man named Andrew, lost and forlorn,
A haunting memory of a life torn.

In days of yore, when chaos spread,
A Nazi's path young Andrew tread,
With venomous words and twisted creed,
He wandered blindly, consumed by greed.

Yet, hidden beneath his fascist guise,
A secret whispered, a truth that lies,
Within his veins, a craving grew,
A hunger for a white powder's hue.

Cocaine's embrace, a devil's touch,
Infused his spirit, demanded much,
The highs it promised, the lows it gave,
A dance of addiction, a downward cave.

Within his dreams, he heard the screams,
Echoes of innocent lives torn at the seams,
The horrors he'd witnessed, the pain he'd caused,
Drowned in a haze of cocaine's applause.

But in the silence of his restless nights,
Andrew glimpsed shards of forgotten lights,
A glimmer of remorse, a spark of grace,
A yearning to break free from this cursed race.

With trembling hands and weakened frame,
He fought against the grip of shame,
Seeking redemption amidst the strife,
To transcend the darkness that clouded his life.

In moments fleeting, his heart confessed,
To the atrocities he once professed,
A repentant soul, he sought to mend,
The wounds inflicted, a chance to transcend.

But time, relentless, did not wait,
Andrew met his untimely fate,
No absolution could he embrace,
In death's embrace, his sins efface.

Now his story stands, a cautionary tale,
Of the human spirit's frailty and travail,
In the depths of evil, a glimmer can shine,
Yet for Andrew, it came too late, time malign.

So let us remember the choices we make,
And the souls we touch with each step we take,
May Andrew's legacy forever remind,
That redemption's pursuit should never be confined.

In the circus of crypto, there was a clown named Josh Green,
Enthusiastic and eager, but alas, he had a scheme.
With a mind filled with dreams, yet void of good sense,
He stumbled through investments, losing every cent.

Oh, Josh, the foolish clown, with his painted grin,
He dabbled in altcoins, blindly diving in.
He chased every trend, ignoring the warning signs,
As his portfolio dwindled, like sands through time.

With his honking nose and colorful attire,
He danced with delight, fueled by false desire.
He believed in quick gains, in overnight success,
But the market proved cruel, leaving him in distress.

He bought at the peak, sold at the dip,
Caught in a cycle of losses, a downward trip.
His friends warned him, "Josh, please take heed,
Crypto's just one big Pyramid Scheme!"

But he brushed them aside, with a foolish smirk,
Blinded by visions of wealth, lost in the murk.
He ignored the experts, the lessons well-taught,
And his pockets grew empty, his dreams came to naught.

Now Josh, the dumb clown, in a somber state,
Reflects on his choices, on the twists of fate.
He lost all his money, his pride took a blow,
As the circus moved on, he had nothing to show.

Yet in his folly, there's a lesson to be found,
That in the world of crypto, knowledge should be crowned.
For it's not just luck, but research and insight,
That guide the wise investors through the night.

So let Josh's tale be a cautionary rhyme,
A reminder to think before jumping in time.
For the crypto circus demands wisdom and grace,
To navigate the markets and find a safe place.

In shadows cast by prejudice's might,
There lies a tale of a coffee shop's plight.
A place where hearts should intertwine,
But instead, division draws its line.

Upon the streets where harmony should bloom,
Stands a cafe shrouded in a cloud of gloom.
Its doors flung wide, inviting all within,
Yet poison whispers, drowning in their din.

Behind the counter, a barista's weary smile,
Conceals the anguish felt, mile after mile.
For in this realm where hatred takes its hold,
The brewing coffee is tainted, bitter and cold.

Unveiled on walls, the menu lists its cost,
Separation brewed, lines unequivocally crossed.
Words of exclusion, whispered and proclaimed,
A toxic symphony, a harmony untamed.

With every sip, prejudice flows so free,
A concoction of ignorance, for all to see.
The aroma tainted, the flavor sour,
A brew that sows division by the hour.

But deep within the coffee beans' core,
Lies the power to open minds, to restore.
For diversity's strength, when embraced,
Can banish hate, leaving no trace.

Let empathy awaken from its sleep,
And fill this shop with compassion's keep.
May love pour forth, a healing balm,
To transform this place, break the hateful calm.

In the realm of coffee, let unity abide,
A sanctuary where prejudice subsides.
Let every cup blend stories from afar,
Creating harmony, the truest bazaar.

For in this tale of a racist coffee shop,
There lies the hope that bigotry will stop.
Let the world's colors blend, a vibrant blend,
In a café where acceptance has no end.

The mods and admins here are a joke and are far too eager to throw down the ban hammer over the stupidest stuff. It's almost impossible not to get banned here at some point for things that are innocent or even helpful. You can even get banned in some subreddits simply for taking part in another subreddit, and then they'll hit you with a "Ban Evasion" IP block when you try to post something, without even knowing what the hell you did.

In my case, in a thread about a Senator sponsoring a completely ridiculous law, I posted their publicly available phone number that I found on the Senators own website so that others in the thread can easily find this and call in to voice their opinion.

This was met with sidewide ban for "Doxxing". Completely ridiculous.

It used to be decent, but it's become a toxic hellhole that's circling the drain.
I don't think they've even added any fresh users in like 10 years. It's the same bunch of grumpy boomers showing up to insult each other. Stay away.
