On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid?
  • I wish there were dead giveaways. It would be helpful to know if I'm talking to a teen or an adult cuz my attitude in delivering how wrong they were would definitely change. Certainly i can recall some truly boneheaded beliefs i have discarded through the decades so im more forgiving if i know they're young.

    On the other hand if they're pretending to be an adult they ostensibly want to have their opinions considered on equal terms, as peers; basically to not be preached to. If that's their goal then isnt it kinda the point to treat their ideas as if they were offered by one? If we think of it like that, maybe it's not super important to know someone's age. It's definitely helpful of course to know who youre dealing with but the downside of anonymity is also its upside. ideas are ideas no matter how old the brain is what thinks em.

  • This started as adding onto a preexisting meme and it turned into a format to vent
  • Hmm. I read your thing, but I'm not sure how to respond. On one hand, you make a good point. On the other hand, you seem like youre looking for a fight. Why? Why defend someone who, if they had spoken half as eloquently as you, would not have to have their comment moderated? I just don't get the whole point of your comment, no offense, and certainly not your anger. Who/what is it you are actually mad at here?

  • Supreme Court says cities can ban homeless from sleeping outside
  • Well he did have this to say about it so he certainly supports the decision:

    Today’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court provides state and local officials the definitive authority to implement and enforce policies to clear unsafe encampments from our streets. This decision removes the legal ambiguities that have tied the hands of local officials for years and limited their ability to deliver on common-sense measures to protect the safety and well-being of our communities.

    “California remains committed to respecting the dignity and fundamental human needs of all people and the state will continue to work with compassion to provide individuals experiencing homelessness with the resources they need to better their lives.”

  • me_irl
  • Iirc the og one wasthe dog actually saying he's fine, even as his face melted away. Can't remember what the original joke was but i recall this comic (Gunshow) gets pretty dark as a rule. It wasn't until after it became a meme he updated it with the dog freaking the fuck out. Again this is just my old memory talking, i haven't read Gunshow in a long time so feel free to correct me

  • If you have depression then i am ashamed that you don't have the common sense and empathy for someone else who is struggling with it. Now please do yourself a favor and fix that lil problem. Here's a hint: You fix it by going away. This easy to follow instruction will improve both our lives. Try it now!

  • It's going to be a good night
  • I tried quest 64 and booooy did i hate it. It needed to come up with a far better story of it wanted me to figure out it's (at least for me at the time) punishing grindy game mechanics.

    Yes i did return it to toys r us, that same day. I'm still mad about it apparently since i wrote all this

  • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising
  • Imma make the jump once they force me to 11. I've been saying this for years but they finally got something cooking i truly can't abide. That screenshot of what you're up to every ten seconds is fucking terrifying to me and that's not even considering govt snooping. I ain't about to leave a record of my porn consumption for my wife to see lol! Linux is finally juuuust about idiot proof and game friendly enough for me. Can't wait to be one of those smug guys that says 'just use linux lol'

  • Anon dislikes reddit
  • I hated downvotes on Reddit because like merely 5 would silence all anti honeymoon's sentiment. This place, your can have a million downvotes but the comment is still there so i just count em as engagement points. Someone felt strongly, that means i wrote something worth reading in a way
