How do they do it on your planet?

A botnet that gives you shitcoins every so often

I spent a long-ass time trying to work out why a bunch of randos, dressed in generic national costumes like when '80s Saturday morning cartoons tried to be diverse, would be eco-fascists who want to oppress the indigenous Irish. I actually almost thought it was a racist joke about how England isn’t as white as it used to be.

Why does it have to be just like your sister?

Yeah, only total cunts do that

I dunno, this comes across as the kind of comment a racist pedophile would post, just saying.

1. Yeah, “Where’s the beef” is from 1984 (the year).
2. In case you care, here’s a translation of that guy’s point: he was trying to make the case that the Mets made a good decision in letting go of the pitcher Nolan Ryan. His reasoning is that Ryan was personally very effective at striking out batters on the other team, but that Ryan’s team still lost about half the games he pitched. He goes on to say that getting a lot of strikeouts doesn’t matter. We now know, and many knew back in the 1980s, that a pitcher’s win/loss record is basically irrelevant, because you’re judging one guy’s performance based on how well the other 8+ dudes on his team do. Also, strikeouts are very important. He got it totally and completely wrong, Nolan Ryan is in the top 10 of best pitchers of all time, and the Mets haven’t won the world series since 1986 anyway so it’s not like they substantially upgraded when they got rid of him. Basically, imagine somebody saying Natalie Portman is a mediocre actress just because the Star Wars prequels were bad.

Bro he literally almost scrolled past this 🫢

Pasted from an earlier comment:

through the magic of Google Groups we can even laugh at sports fans’ forgotten shit takes they posted to Usenet 40(!) years ago:

Lando Calrissian and the Mindsharp of Sharu is basically Shakespeare

Hard disagree, this was the only thing that ever induced more cringe than rage comics to me

Or, if your cat is a fat, clever little shit, she will jam her paw in deep and then yank all the kibble out so she can binge on it and then barf on the carpet.

Funny you should mention that, I found a particularly cringeworthy forum thread featuring child millenials lying about being badasses from back in 2005, and through the magic of Google Groups we can even laugh at sports fans’ forgotten shit takes they posted to Usenet 40(!) years ago:

Also, we were were cringeworthy than they are now. I was there in the late '90s and the early 2000s. I remember the forum posts, the livejournal drama, the unfunny memes, the rise of MySpace. The Xanga sites alone were far more cringeworthy than Tumblr ever was, even if you ignore the underage nudes AND early 2000s fanfiction that people posted on their Xanga pages it was still worse. At least zoomers don’t have emo hair and post about their angst in the form of shitty poetry with handles like xXx_darkbl4de_st0rmwind_xXx, and those of us born in the mid '80s through the early '90s cannot always say the same.

Wumao begone

“I’m not a tankie, I just parrot all of their talking points and their weird, myopic rhetorical style.”

What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You’ll get a desktop that appears normal but can’t be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim’s mouse the wrong way around if they’re gullible and they’ll think the mouse messed everything up,

This would be better than what they currently do, which is just upsetting. For example, let’s make a water-type panda Pokémon:

1. cute blue panda cub
2. darker blue panda, slightly bigger and with longer limbs, with lame attempt at giving it “attitude”
3. somebody’s blue panda fursona with abs, pecs, and a crotch bulge

or
3. somebody’s blue panda fursona with Pixar mom hips and a bust with a fur tuft on it

In much the same way roadkill ages better than a roadside piss bottle
