I would imagine PYF would be one of the easier forums to moderate.

"Hey idiots, no one has posted a funny cat picture in two pages. Be better at posting funny cat pictures in this, the PYF funny cat pic thread."

Moderating done.

Lol the loving cabinets

Does the archives thread still have the pictures? The loving cabinets with all the electrical sockets everywhere is still incredible.

Inspector: Sir, I can't possibly certify this, you realize if you use all these plugs it will burn your house down
:grovertoot:: But they're just for convenience! I won't use them all at once!
Inspector: Sir, why are there electrical outlets in the ceiling? You don't want your family to die.
:grovertoot:: Fine. I'll just fraudulently inspect my own house then.

GiP mod until a populist revolt overthrew his tyranny.

Not even joking - he actually would treat enlisted differently from officers and made all these dumb little rules so the forums were basically military-lite instead of the chill place it eventually became.

A loving civilian lol

Oh yeah that's also great. He was arguing that his government contracting job made him the equivalent of a 1-star General or something right?

Background: The Federal Government has a wage scale from 1 to 15 with 15 being the highest. There is sort of a correspondence to military ranks but no sane person actually thinks they're equivalent. Except :grovertoot:

Shoot, I can't remember, but either of those could be right. Either way, they were stepping down while I was mod and the admins were horrified because they couldn't imagine finding someone normal who read a bunch of PYF.

Grover was a GiP mod who thought he was king poo poo because he was like a gs-12 or some poo poo that worked WITH the military. He was aggressively terrible at moderation as most military jokes whooshed right the gently caress over his head.

This article on the last few Americans who need Iron Lungs to live is very pro-read.

It's also absolutely heartbreaking (and typical :capitalism: ) that the company who now is responsible for the machines tried to kick everyone off and is charging them $200 for little pieces of leather.

https://gizmodo.com/the-last-of-the-iron-lungs-1819079169


It's also so loving frustrating that things we thought were gone forever (polio, Nazis, etc.) are all coming back now that the people who had first-hand experiences with them are dead.

edit: and being an anti-vaxxer is child abuse and anyone who is should have their kids taken away.

A friend of mine from back home once claimed he was a hotly sought-out hockey prospect but opted not to pursue it because his mom was against it. To this very day, I don't know if he was being honest about it and is just loyal to his family (he's Chinese, if that matters) or was full of poo poo.

It's the natural result when American anti intellectualism pairs with the human brains tendency to discount things that don't seem like immediate or vivid threats.


America is also the perfect place to run cons. Anti intellectualism, hyper individualism, and self righteous as gently caress. We're a country of people who think they're smarter than experts, can do anything themselves, and pair both with the absolute certainty of a Baptist minister.

Gerber is a multitool. A knife is a dedicated knife. That's what makes it so laughable. Dude had a desk job in the states. He would NEVER need a knife. A multitool is defensible (tho I'm pretty sure he had a full on military style one) but still lol

Not that I did anything badass or cool in the Guard but the only time I had a knife with me was never. Gerber 100% of the time though
