lowtax’s failure to capitalize on the burgeoning anime community on this very website led to the development of alternative and lawless anonymous sites which were the perfect incubators for a nihilistic rightwing movement. it may be that lowtax inadvertently had no small part in bringing about the apocalypse

yeah not to sound transphobic or whatever but i dont think it's ever going to be normalized to announce your pronouns. i DO think it's normal to correct people but maybe that's because I was briefly pretty feminine looking as a pre teen thanks to my luscious auburn locks

nah, you're not, but it's worthy and worthwhile to try and normalize it in the very least

I don’t think it was his failure to capitalize; it was certainly his effective oversight of cultural moderation that drove the worst elements to alternative sites however.

Really, it's our own fault for leaving the alternative communities be and letting them take root instead of helldumping everyone who tried creating one.

I started on Richard Rhodes's Arsenal of Folly based on a recommendation from the NYT thread a week ago, and the first chapter was about Chernobyl which was a pretty okay overview of the event, and I was especially impressed with how much manpower and industrial power the USSR was able to marshal at a moment's notice, provided they actually came to a decision.

And then the second chapter started using Robert Conquest as a source for the pre-Cold War history of the Soviet Union and I turned it off after the dozenth reference to "genocidal" dekulakization.
