Simpsons meme thread: I... shouldn't need to say anything else. This is the single best thread in my opinion.

Captain Invictus posted:

speaking of old threads that were fascinating(or in this case horrifying), there was a thread by a goon in south america about the cartels and what they were doing, with insanely graphic photographs and detailed articles about the atrocities committed by the cartels and just how bad things were. it was horrific and uncompromising in what it talked about, in great detail both personal and news-based, but I've never been able to find the thread again. I think it was a thread focusing mostly on the Los Zetas cartel, but I can't quite remember.

If someone has a link to the thread, that would be much appreciated. Coworker of mine from Columbia was talking to me about the cartels in south america the other day and I figured it might be useful either for me or maybe him(sans the abattoir photos, of course).

Regardless, I think your response is a little strong and you're implying a lot of hurtful things that Captain Invictus didn't express.

Expressing fascinated horror andor rubbernecking is a natural part of the human experience and something most humans do. Like laughing at a previously traumatic experience or at someone else's misfortune, it might not be entirely pleasant or a "nice" thing to do, but I would wager than everyone does one of these things at least once.

Again, it's a pretty natural part of the human experience, especially if such things tend not to happen often, or are new experiences. It's just another form of curiosity manifest in a socially frowned on way.

yes, that is a hell of a reaction. It was a thread that delved into the more horrifying aspects of the cartels and just how serious the situation was by someone who knew what they were talking about with a lot of articles and details, of something that, largely due to the fairly isolated news bias in the US, is rarely ever discussed. Trying to just google about the cartels results in scattered news articles, sure, but that thread in particular had a ton of straightforward information in a single location that was helpful in being informed on what was going on. Granted, the thread would be years and years old at this point and is probably obsolete and archived, but it wasn't horrifying fascination that I wanted it for, but rather to be more informed due to the coworker talking about it and I only vaguely recalling the info I had learned about.

This thread is some of the most fun I've ever had on the forums. It's a really good text generator. You know how most of those predictive text things are really funny but the authors give the bot a lot of nudges and editing to get something good? This thing will crap out comedy gold without that. You may have to have it give it a few shots but it'll make a side-splitter out of drat near anything with some time.

Dude registers on SA just to join the goon alliance for a free browser game, Politics and War (you've probably seen the banner ads for it). Yes, a J4G, in 2019. What follows is several pages of the utter idiocy and lunacy that comes from other alliances and pubbies in this game, and it serves as a better endorsement of the goon alliance than any of the banner ads do imo.

Can someone please described what that is? I've read 3 pages and still don't know what it is about. People have asked and no one has answered.

What I gathered after 3 pages is that there is some random browser game. And after googling "j4g" it seems like people are joining SA to get into a guild on that game that I don't know what it is or how it works.

That's all I got. A couple random images of people complaining with no context so I still don't know what is happening.

SAclopedia is your friend

J4Gs are usually pubbies with fresh reg dates that see SA guilds dominate in an online game so they create a SA account in an attempt to join, baited with application procedures

See also: EVE Online's Goonswarm, which had an effort site with silver and gold memberships or something at one point?

The silver and gold memberships were for the plebians. What you want good sir is our platinum package which gets you access to capital ship hangars and private shared accounts to use titans. Of course for that we need a sizable deposit of in-game cash. How much fluid cash do you currently have? We can work out a payment plan if necessary or even trade in ships and materials.
