Haven’t heard that name in a while. He used to help people with their homework on reddit, it’d be cool if he came over here.

World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That’s really where it starts for a lot of people.

The American Civil War is mostly where you’ll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There’s a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it’s impact on the course of the war.

Falklands? I want to assume that if you’re British then you’d like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.

French and Indian War? I’d just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you’re currently living in the area that it occurred.

Was just updated on the treasury site to $38,008,137,064,951.61. How shocking.

Reminds of during covid when people were photoshopping their cats faces onto bees. It was my favorite trend.

Never letting go of it.

His mother shall not be pleased with this.

Void cats are precious and should be treasured. I love mine.

She wouldn’t even have to grift. Her family is somewhat wealthy if I remember correctly.

I used to be rather skeptical about her, but she has more than earned my respect time and time again.

I felt this so much. It’s not just self-awareness, but awareness of the world around you.

I’ve been chatting with a close friend recently, and we both agree that it cause us tremendous pain to be so acutely aware. Being ignorant and looking away is not something we’re capable of.

Same, I’m rooting for the seagull, assuming that’s what they’re going for.

Not entirely surprising given how hypocritical Christians tend to be.

You put on one to two big performances a week, sometimes more depending on the time of year, and then the moment you walk out of the theater building all those supposed morals and values get forgotten.

A spokesman for the Pokémon Company International told the Daily Beast, “We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”

It’s pure damage control. It’s a shame to see it.

Don’t get me wrong, there could be a take down request going on in the background, but that’s futile. DHS and ICE are federal agencies. Taking on federal agencies is near impossible for a variety of reasons I won’t get into. The process is entirely in the governments favor, and always has been, even prior to a fascist regime taking over.

Given all that, it would be much more comforting to see the companies involved speaking out a bit more, but that’s asking for too much I’d say.

SL was too complicated when I was a kid. Might be different now, but a lot of us went onto IMVU instead. It originally had no separation for over and under 18 accounts, but even after they added it you had both kids and adults blatantly intermingling anyways. You couldn’t search up over 18 rooms as under 18 or search under 18 rooms as over 18, but people could still invite and chat.

Nothing quite like being 15 and hanging out with your friends until one of them invites their mid-twenties boyfriend to the chat.

I can ask mine to speak and he’ll respond. Unfortunately if he’s in a mood and I ask him to be quiet he often won’t listen.

It’s not as uncommon as you’d think. People are relying on their parents more than ever, and parents who are willing to help are using this as an opportunity to provide help with strings attached.

I really don’t like short-form media. Sure, these people have always existed, but this really promotes it. There’s no room for lengthy explanations either in the video or outside of it in text form.

Say what you will about blogs or youtube, but at least people have text space to add citations and references.

Ah, turns out that all genies use the same code as nuclear gandhi.

Sorry if that came off the wrong way. I more so meant it to point out what I intended in case there was a misunderstanding.

None of this is what I am discussing. I’m talking about the people in the thread who are saying that these people deserved this.

I don’t quite understand the outrage in the thread. I’ve been looking through the comments, trying to see if this ever went beyond gossip and I can’t find anything.

From my understanding the app was intended to be a safe space for women to discuss dating. Relaying information about dangerous individuals, or people who cheat. I can imagine that things might have gotten slightly out of hand in regards to anonymous gossip, but is that anything compared to being doxxed? Besides, women, and men have been gossiping behind each others backs for as long as humans have existed. An anonymous app makes it significantly worse certainly, but it is what it is. This behavior is always going to exist for better or for worse. For example, people already discuss this on sites like fetlife since the risk of ending up with someone who wants to batter you for the sake of battering you is somewhat high there.

Surely we can have some sympathy for people who have had their identifications doxxed by 4chan who haven’t done anything worse than a bit of toxic gossip at most?
