“Satirists and comedians HATE this one trick!”

Posting your utterly insane and deranged thoughts on the internet

I don’t think Saints Row fans would go that far

Shiiiiiiiit, transferring stuff via physical media takes me back to high school. It was mostly porn videos to my friends, never charged a dime, only asked them to give me a blank CD

Haven’t done anything like that since I finished college. During those years, it was mostly sharing ripped versions of games that we could play straight from the USB stick on the college computers, mostly Counter Strike 1.6 , much to my distaste as I much preferred other games like Digital Paintball 2 and Age of Empires 2. Also a bit ironic that, despite all of us being CompSci students, I seemed to be the only one who was willing to endure the “pains” of setting up a SNES emulator so we could play Bomberman over the LAN.

My main suggestion is to search whatever you want with Yandex.com - unlike Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Brave, etc etc, Yandex doesn’t delist piracy sites. So, “bookname pdf” will almost always return a good result. “some anime or movie name watch online” will also work.

Oh, and use uBlockOrigin. Ditch Chrome, use Firefox or anything that still makes uBlock works in full capacity.

Next step: Nintendo sues all sites that dare write its name

Call the 3D printers, we need a bigger benchy!

And then you have Capcom, who put fucking denuvo years AFTER a game’s release

The next step after programmer socks

Unironically safer to the driver and any bystanders than the triangle truck

I’d like ALL game advertising to be composed of at least 50% actual in game screenshots or or videos, but that would actually be consequential and good

For inconsequential, remove stupid-proofing from certain products, like “warning: contains eggs” in egg cartons

The migration that happened from xitter being blocked in Brazil is a good example of a bandwagon effect, or “people go where people are”. If xitter wasn’t taken down, neither bluesky nor threads would’ve received such a big and immediate influx.

Also worth noting is that the vast majority went for those 2, bluesky more so than threads, instead of any mastodon instance because those 2 are the mainstream alternatives

How do we get “normies” to adopt the Fediverse?

We don’t. Normies take one look at anything that isn’t mainstream and pinch their noses. A significant portion of them can barely make a search on the internet, they get lost at the idea of “websites” and are likely heavily biased against people who aren’t using what “everyone is using”

Anedoctal experience: back when I was using dating apps, I’ve had a fair share of girls that stopped talking to me once I said I didn’t have instagram, because it meant I was “hiding something”.

MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!?

Only one I frequent is a NSFW forum. Not sure if I should name it

I don’t know any specific cases, but one thing I’ve heard that police (at least in Brazil) will just laugh at and ignore, is when a man is the victim of an abusive partner.

Of course, it’s nowhere as common as men being the violent/abusive partner, but it happens, yet “society” will effectively say “grow a pair”

The amount of effort you have to put into your dating profile. Women have the opposite problem of being inundated with matches even with minimal effort.

Dating apps have fuckloads of problems that work against non-top paying users, but for men the main issue is demographic: 80% of users are men. There just aren’t enough women on them.

As of right now, a bunch of Magic the Gathering cards. I have nobody to play with. I regret nothing.

There’s another purchase that would’ve been one of the most irresponsible of my life, but the seller didn’t actually have the thing in stock. No, I won’t tell what it is, I’ll just let you folks imagine

Ironically, this kind of hate requires no effort, someone says “GROUP BAD!” and you just sneer and shout towards them. It’s way, way easier to blame a group than understanding all the things that are making your life/city/country/world go wrong

“Of COURSE the evil jew gay black communist feminist conspiracy is the root of all evil, they hate MY way of life!”

There’s also the point that most conspiracy theories capitalize on the “this is a secret THEY don’t want you to know!”, so it makes people feel smart (despite them believing in utter bullshit)
