The Octonaut

Can I ask what I’m sure everyone is thinking, how are any of those things improved by being tiny?

I don’t know if you get this, but the Netherlands and Australia Britain are different societies. Who do you think is lying?

Do you think all these people work for Mr Olympic or something? What don’t you get?

Why the oddly specific time period? Is something happening in a month, or are you doing something so that you won’t feel like this in a month?

You are being tested on your comprehension of the text given, not asked for your opinion on piracy and copyright.

It’s absolutely normalised. Imagine saying this in any other circumstance playing a game with a stranger.

That this is mild for gaming doesn’t mean it isn’t toxic as fuck.

As a vegetarian, aquarist and climate doomer, I want to point out your joke was pretty funny.

…It was a joke, right?

Excellent commitment to the bit. Well done

The first movie in the Child’s Play movie franchise they saw was the third iteration, Child’s Play 3; they were motivated to see it because it was banned, an ironic backfire of the censorship decision.

It’s the same with the protests. “Why is this taking so long”, not “why are we wiping out Palestinians”.

Weird comment from a non-league country

Did you just not read anything in my post? A nuke you can’t use isn’t a deterrent. It’s a risk to yourself.

Again, it’s not about links or about comments. It’s about the focus of the content. My friend, I have been shitposting on the Internet quite likely longer than you’ve been alive, so no, I’m not ignoring the content. And I was on Facebook for the best part of a decade so no, no shame there either.

But Usenet isn’t social media. Forums aren’t social media. Comment boxes aren’t social media. The term came about when people started friending and following and tagging each other and generally caring who the other person is - without which all of these previous examoles are just more chatrooms and forums. If Social Media is literally just communicating in any way on the Internet, then the term is useless.

They share them as a once off. Very occasionally you’ll get the “Update: MIL stole our baby” posts, but mostly it doesn’t matter (and shouldn’t matter) who is posting the content. In social media, who is posting matters.

You have the oddities on Reddit occasion like that terrible poet and the comic lady that has her OF simps brigade her posts, but just look at how utterly useless and rejected all of Reddit’s attempts to turn it into social media are: follows, journals, chat - features of genuine social media but done poorly and with the wrong audience who distinctly Don’t want to follow personalities.

Ukraine neither had control of those nuclear weapons, nor the ability to maintain them. It is probably for the best for humanity that they were removed. This is acknowledged by ICANW.

Because by that criteria every web page that’s ever had a comment box is “social media”.

Social media to me is, as the guy said, defined by the fact that you’re following a person/persona, not a topic.

This site and other sites like it are link aggregators. If you wanted to, you could use and contribute to a link aggregator without ever writing or indeed reading a comment.

There are ones that are tiny, but those are basically facial wipes. The actual towels are hand-sizes

I’m sorry what? Do you understand the difference between, for example, mocking a blind person for using a cane and wearing dark glasses, and mocking people who think it’s cool and decide to start wearing dark glasses and using a cane while being perfectly sighted? Do you think that is a reasonable thing to do? Do you think it would be ableist to laugh at perfectly able people who are pretending to be disabled?

Videos of this conversation definitely exist online. My favourite example was a guy quoting the American constitution - to an Irish Garda Síochána.
