Don't worry, I'm sure google will disable that soon in the same way they disable all the other search syntax that used to make searching a simple and easy task

Vespair ,

Cool, pedant. Addend "on google" to my comment then if you need, since that's clearly the context we're talking about here. I'm aware there are other search engines, but context should have made what I was talking about pretty fucking obvious.

Vespair ,

God talk about relatable

Vespair ,

Peggle is fucking great.

I unironically love Peggle so much.

Almost as much as a good pegging.

Vespair ,

As Jack Black and Kyle Gass famously said, "You don't always have to fuck her hard / in fact sometimes that's not right to do."

Clearly Mom is in the mood for some smooth Gorbachev loving right now, love and smooches. He can tear up that pussy later when she's feeling feistier.

Vespair ,

Follow-up joke: Gorbachev's scalp ain't gonna be the only thing stained in mom's bedroom after tonight.

I can't speak to the quality of the ICP movies, but I've personally seen a number of Master P's films (I'm Bout It, I Got The Hook-Up, MP da Last Don, etc) and while none of them are "good" I genuinely and unironically thoroughly enjoy all of them.

One of my guilty pleasures.

Vespair ,

Real talk, Percy taught me to believe in myself enough to make my own way. Dude's goofy, but I'll forever love him.

Vespair ,

Yeah fr; message good, meme bad

"No, I actually think he's a brilliant composer, I just said his music stinks"

‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People (www.404media.co)

A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of...

Vespair ,

no skill from the person doing it.

This feels entirely non-sequitur, to the point of damaging any point you're trying to make. Whether I paint a nude or the modern Leonardi DaVinci paints a nude our rights (and/or the rights of the model, depending on your perspective on this issue) should be no different, despite the enormous chasm that exists between our artistic skill.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

Vespair ,

Well I'm glad you live in a fantasy world where your abstinence doesn't have real world impact that is demonstrably worse, specifically in regards to the very genocide to which you refer, but unfortunately the rest of us live in the real world where sometimes we have to evaluate the weight of ideological purity vs real world harm impact.

Vespair ,

Saying "if I don't get my way entirely I'm taking the ball and going home" is the opposite of how progress happens.

And as a follow-up, aside from voting, what other real on-the-grounds steps have you taken to progress or legitimize real leftism in America?

Vespair ,

You're right, if we talk to the wolves enough about the benefits of being a sheep, they'll start producing wool 🙄

Vespair ,

Sorry, I just assumed you were decent

Vespair ,

I don't subscribe to any specific version of ideology, I merely think leftist mentality is the foregone conclusion of reasoned thinking amongst decent people.

If you think I'm using "leftist" in the tribalist way popular online and not as colloquial shorthand, you are mistaken.

Vespair ,

I will never understand why so many people were just okay accepting all this invasive bullshit like Vanguard. There's so many games I just can't even consider because I refuse to implicitly tell game companies their unchecked behavior like this is acceptable.

These are fucking video games; there is no goddamn reason a glorified toy should have root or kernel-level access. It's wild to me the amount people who will accept anything, no questions asked.

I'm sure Hell Divers is fun, but it ain't worth it to me to find out.

Vespair ,

Cheating sucks but a- people are still cheating in these games, b- there are just as effective anti-cheat strategies that don't require invasive access, c- cheating in a literal GAME is not enough of a real world issue to sacrifice real world privacy

Vespair ,

And I bet horse carriages outsold the Ford Model-T this year too

Vespair ,

Sir you are being the idiot from the comic

Vespair ,

I agree fully, but I do want to know what the original image said before "birth lottery" was edited in

Vespair ,

Call me a hater, but this kind of meme has always been shit, and not in a fun shitposting way, just shit.

Vespair ,

Yeah

Vespair , (edited )

An specific anime, apparently.

Personally I hate when people reference specific media without acknowledging it's a reference in general-media communities like this, but I think I'm in the minority on that. But I also understand the world isn't designed to cater to my sensibilities, so I can't really do much but just shrug and move on

Vespair ,

Oh shit I forgot, thank you

Vespair ,

Damn, it's almost like "celebrities" are actually just people propped up with the trappings of fame and not unapproachable deific figures of impossible class and value deserving of our praise

    Anyone feel up to explaining what matrix is and is for? I've seen the name in passing but don't have any clue about it

    Vespair ,

    That text is like 4x too large for me. I used to 1 composition notebook for all my classes and stilled ended the year with tons of blank pages because my default text size is so small

    Vespair ,

    For some reason halfway through I thought this was going to be a reference to making eye contact with NPC trainers in Pokemon.

    He lowers his opera glasses and screams "My bug pokemon have been waiting for a challenge!"

    Vespair ,

    Meanwhile dude at IHOP: "yo I ordered my egg 40 minutes ago, what the fuck is taking so long?"

    The problem with loss is the impact of it is ...ahem... lost without the context of what an enormous douchebag Tim Buckley was online at that time. Like part of what makes loss so ridiculous is the audacious sanctimonious nature of the comic coming from the internet's least-likable egotist and troll. You can read as many KYM wikis as you want, but if you weren't around to witness what a fucking shitbag Buckley was during that time then you can't really feel the way loss hit when it hit.

    Vespair ,

    Also, B^U

    Vespair ,

    What? Ham is like the 2nd best pizza topping after only pepperoni.

    Vespair ,

    Ah, so your objection is only with pineapple. See, I don't do pineapple on pizza not because I think it's unholy, but simply because I don't like pineapple in general. I thought you just objected to ham on pizza on principle; I can't speak to it as a companion for pineapple.

    Vespair ,

    The sad thing is what they really miss is reasonable restrictions on industry and capitalism, a viable chance to support a family on a single full-time salary, and upward mobility, but rather than getting mad at the greedy capitalist assholes that have stolen these things from them, instead they let these exact same greedy assholes trick them into thinking that minorities and disempowered peoples are somehow the ones stifling progress.

    The yearning for better days isn't inherently wrong, it's the conclusions they draw where they go astray.

    Vespair ,

    I know it's not the same thing as what you mean, but my CR-Z has a tiny shark fin on top which I believe serves as the antenna, and it's one of my favorite things about it. More fins on cars, please.

    Vespair ,

    This just simply isn't true.

    Granted, this is some random bullshit website, but they do list their sources, and they claim

    "1 in 4 TikTok users are under 20 years old"

    https://explodingtopics.com/blog/tiktok-demographics

    25% is hugely different than *the majority of users."

    Tiktok isn't a kid's app, has never been a kid's app, and while it's popular with kids if you are an adult with normal adult patterns you aren't going to get served minor accounts to follow unless you are actively seeking that or have interests or hobbies with an big younger skewing (such as if you follow the hashtag, I would imagine).

    Vespair ,

    The fruit isn't the baby, the fruit is the placenta. The seeds are the babies.

    Vespair ,

    Well if that's how you feel, I've got an article for you

    Vespair ,

    He says, on a social media platform

    Vespair ,

    My tiktok account is also anonymous.

    Vespair ,

    Cool dude, you've identified that big corporations data farm.

    Random bloke user with a vendetta still doesn't know who I am, and that's who I'm more worried about on the personal scale.

    Vespair , (edited )

    Undoubtedly, especially since I haven't taken particular steps to obfuscate my identity here.

    But as I said in a comment below, I'm more worried about some unhinged nutbag online randomly targeting me than being a person of interest by any nefarious groups or organizations.

    Vespair ,

    A lot of us "do the bare minimum" do the bare minimum because of all of the time in the past we spent going the extra mile only to be rewarded with ever greater expectations for identical compensation and opportunity.

    They made us this way.

    Vespair ,

    "Don't want to cook?"

    Never

    "Don't want to do the dishes after cooking?"

    Permanently.

    Vespair ,

    Ah, so yes

    Vespair ,

    I played Minecraft for an hour a million years ago and at the time it was basically digital LEGO. Since then I've gathered it has a campaign mode or something, but my entire experience with it is creative mode or whatever, when it was accessed and played via a web browser.

    And yeah, I'm aware lots of adults play or played minecraft. I still play with LEGO. But that fact doesn't mean that calling LEGO a children's toy is wrong.

    Also I've been active online since the early 90s; 15 years does feel like comparative internet infancy to me.

    Vespair ,

    Yeah maybe. I dunno, everything looks like a skateboard when I'm shaking my cane from the rocker on my front porch
