Does it ever bother you that this place is full of nitwits and trolls, many of whom make Reddit seem civilized and well-managed by comparison?
Yeah, me neither.
A lot of it was lightweight enough that archival sites etc might not have specifically ruled them out, aside from specific efforts to preserve Flash material. There are also modded versions of Flash Player and emulators that can still play SWFs, and FLV remains supported fairly commonly.
It had the vibe of something someone really wanted to “be a meme” and therefore it was flogged extremely aggressively. But, you know, there was beans. God, so fucking hilarious. Especially the millionth one, that was the best of the lot.
Still unironically better than the jeans shit that followed shortly after, though.
So this might make me seem surly, my excuse is that I watched “rage comics” get run into the ground over on Reddit, along with that hideous narwhal bullshit, and cringe like that sticks with you.
Yes, terrible to “attack” the poor guy like that. He’s just concerned for the level of the discourse, poor thing.

This you? Specifically: this you, arguing in a way that instantly, grossly obviously outs you as a troll. Not only the intensely weird way you’re defending a murderer, but the intensely weird ways you’re going about it. I’d elaborate, but don’t feel like educating trolls.
So there’s the answer to your " genuine " question. Of course, you remain free to ignore this terrible unprovoked attack from my side and pretend I’m quivering with rage, if that makes you feel better. :)
kbin.run although the missing instance blocking is really starting to get on my tits.
I’ve been hearing reports that “the market is way down” (due to Kamala/Democrats/god knows what else)
And how would you estimate the likelihood of any part of it being… uh, true? What are they basing it on, does it seem to check out with reality?
I mean, surely these allegations wouldn’t, in a truly shocking twist, have come from their (notoriously pathologically dishonest) political enemies, right?
The subtitle means it isn’t canon. “Koma gag battle” means like a cartoon contest in this case.
The Harry Potter main series, for which I have a major case of nostalgia. I’ll happily and accurately slag JKR off for being a dimwit with terribly stupid opinions, who would need to be both smarter and more committed to make her “make it up as you go along” worldbuilding make any sort of sense at all. Which, bluntly, it doesn’t.
But considering how much of a turnip she is, parts of her worldbuilding is strangely compelling while others fail basic self-consistency.
Ssssshhhh, for god’s sake don’t give them any ideas.
my/me
hmmm…
pronouns are none, do not refer
Not at all. The guys designing the early drafts of the applicable laws seem to never have considered a convicted felon persuading millions and millions of people that it, or his active prison sentence, doesn’t matter because PwN tHe LiBs. Frankly, how could they?
Psychiatry could learn a lot…
Industrial strength cognitive dissonance, the only thing involving cognition they’re good at at all.
Yeah, but it’s not the gotcha you think it is. The entire right-winger thing is whinging about everything being someone’s fault. Particularly de gubmit. Even in cases when they are in a majority in said “gubmit” at the time, and have been for nigh on a decade.
Point is, you are implicitly giving these cretins too much credit in the rhetoric they use. It’s not meant to make sense. It’s meant to rile up rednecks/whatever-other-relevant-stereotype.
What you want is not what you’re asking. You want less politics, judging by the other replies. People here will not give it to you, as furiously political circlejerking is part of Lemmy etc from its inception
Yes, the term is hanging in there (and could do so indefinitely) even though Google stopped giving decent results several years ago.
