Hey look, man, Dems are useless but Ill take some free tacos. Where can I get one?

What is your favorite game to play competitively and how has the metagame shifted since you started? Why do you think that is?

I always thought it would be funny to do that except then I feel like I would have made enemies of everyone.

I suppose? I quite like the way World of Darkness did it. There wasn’t as much gradation, but the average human was 2/5, and if you were kind of good at something, or you took a community college course, or something, you could justify a 3. The qualifications in the book were a scale the average person in real life was familiar with and probably even had few of (so my EMT license was a 2 in medicine, my Eagle scout was a 1 in survival, and so forth).

It really made you feel unique, rather than promote this “NPC” shit.

Im impressed. This is an establishment democrat almost doing something that almost qualifies as useful. He’s almost so close!

I mostly interact with FB through Caprine, to talk to like 4 or 5 people who are still on it. Other than that I sometimes ask my sister to check for things on Market place but thats it.

There are a lot of classics I like. DM of the Rings. I got really into Megatokyo for a while. I see that guy at conventions and say hello, even though I fell off when I was still a teenager. I remember Loserz being good, before he moved it behind a paywall along with his porn. These days I like Gatordays, Red Dot, and Poorly Drawn Lines.

A lot of the porn subs on Lemmy are less trafficked. If you are belong to any of them, try sorting by “subscribed” and “hot” or “new.” Also subscribe to more of them.

Horny people have rights… for now

All of these things are correct, but I would like to posit there was a specific era when it actually became intolerable, and that was about 2013 or so. It was a gradual process, but you noticed more and more “normal threads” getting hijacked and brigaded. Baw threads, or threads where people would post tumblr core sad images (mostly about missing ‘her’) got hijacked by incels (who said something like, “shes fucking chad bro” although the incel vocabulary had yet to be calcified.) You laugh you lose (YLYL) threads got brigaded by people “banana posting” or flooding the thread with images of a specific meme of a banana opening his peel like a trench coat and “exposing” himself to a pair of apples. It was boomer shit, but their alleged point was that YLYL was cringe.

Now, were Baw and YLYL cringe? Maybe. But they were also like, “normal” threads. Normal users would come and post normal content. YLYL threads (and their cousins, Epic threads) were how board culture was preserved, posting collages of greentext posts of particularly noteworthy threads or stories or interactions. The point wasn’t to point out cringe. It was to radicalize young male users who self identified as unlucky in love, to degrade board discourse so no one wanted to even post in “culture” threads, and to either radicalize the young and impressionable who might be receptive to Nazi messaging, and to push away those that were not. 4chan always tolerated Nazis, and there is an old proverb against it.

Moot used to get a ton of hate from the Nazis, because he actually tried to police them. I don’t know if they targeted him or just got lucky, but they had been trying to get rid of him of a while. He left after users found his girlfriend was cheating on him, and posted the photos on 4chan. months later, trump descends a golden escalator…

I miss /tg/. it held out longest from the /pol/ siege. Like nazis would still be there, but it was still a place where you could talk about games and be reasonably sure people wouldn’t talk about nazi shit. I lurked until maybe the first Trump election, whereas I had given up on the rest of the boards long before.

I have this dream that one day I’ll like, sit next to him on an airplane and have a chance to ask him.

I wonder about this sometimes.

Poole knew he had a contentious base of users. I remember in 2013 or 2014, 4chan users posted photographic evidence his gf was cheating on him, and I think it broke him. I dont blame him for selling the site, but 18 months later… I wonder if Moot knew he was holding back the end of the world.

its like… getting a whiff of something I haven’t felt in a long time.

Jesus was a Jew, advocating for sacrifice and mercy, versus the old Pagan gods were white perfect warriors with no compunction about slaughtering the weak to protect the volk or some bullshit. Its the same shit you hear about cultural Bolshevism or whatever.

Just like how there is Leftist in fighting, except a lot stupider and more dangerous. I keep making reference to the Night of Long Knives here

I saw it at a midnight showing at an art theater. It was a cool place, gentrification killed it and the pandemic finished it off. Anyways, the thing I remember about this movie was how the weirdness obscured the subtext, which is how the main characters, dementia addled elders, face death with dignity. I remember liking it more than I thought I would.

They arent going to listen to us until we start blowing up police cars anyway

Most of the Dems are fucking useless. The rest range into acquiescent. We have to stop this dichotomy. Dems had control and they couldn’t even prevent Trump from running again, in spite of J6. They couldn’t even stop deep throating Natanyahu long enough to beat him.

The Dems aren’t going to save us and will have to be removed also.

We are begging CEOs to please read the rest of the novel.
