sorry to hear about your third eye problems

also an apocalypse that 99% of people don't immediately die in probably goes like in that british movie Threads about the aftermath of a nuclear war, where the government went underground and came back out with steam-driven tanks and poo poo to keep running things. there have been and probably still are bunkers full of gold and food ready to be staffed with VIPs until the fallout settles down, or whatever the plan is exactly. even canada had one, apparently known as the Diefenbunker. so i doubt even an apocalypse would change the way money works and the general outlines of who has it

although this is the luxury the prime minister would've been looking forward to. somebody should make a movie set in the VIP's bunker



the diefenbunker is worth visiting, it's a museum open to the public and you can go down all 4 levels underground

Pick famously was like "look realistically you need to have at least like 15 million to be rich"

Because I guess 5 mil is like comfortable but not yacht rich

Pick is playing a character - fragile WASP with parental trauma who does the same thing over and over, i.e. saying it's fine for your partner to beat you, saying autistic people would be better off dead, saying most posters don't know what wealth really is.

It's obvious what she's doing and she's said a million times she thinks it's funny how GBS rises to the bait - all porn is bad, eugenics could be useful, let's be kooky and talk about skinning animals.

She could be a lot of fun if people had fun with it but tbf I understand why some people think 'I'm pretending to be an average wasp looking to make this interesting' is just annoying, especially when they don't have a sense of humour about talking about how hitting your significant other is cool.

It's just that people who have an attachment to hitting or being hit also like people telling you that's not normal.

This is how Spark characterized that meltdown, fyi:

Am I missing something because it seems like dude was genuinely (although naively) confused and then got made fun of with racism for it.

Spark That Bled posted:

Well, the way I see it is that I come in on this thread seeing people talk about Division 2. I talk about my experience with the beta, dying repeatedly at the Demolition Site control point. People make fun of me for this because I apparently didn't see the proper way to do that control point.

Somebody buys me that skull avatar part way through this, and I think it's because of all the other posters with skull AVs on the thread.

Then that gif was posted, and I thought the skull was a reference to my AV, equating my posting with terrorism. I object to this, until somebody eventually explains that it's not about me.

Then people start making actual jokes about me being a terrorist, which I don't like. One guy accuses me of being racist to white people.

That's everything.

Yeah you're missing something. He reacts specifically to the image in his avatar, a generic video game skull apparently from the game of the thread he is posting in, doing a 9/11 as being specifically about him and chooses that moment to say he's an arab, and everyone is supposed to already know this and specifically preemptively avoid using his video game av in 9/11 jokes. And doubles down.

There's some lovely racism afterwards but fuckin lol. It's like someone using Edgar Allan Poe in a 9/11 joke and me accusing the poster of specifically targeting me as a jew. (we did 9/11 btw)

did I get you too lol

content: I got to thinking about the old goon rushes the other day, and specifically the final goon rush that ended them for good. I hope someone else remembers this because it's been a while and nobody really talked about it. I think this was around 04 or so?

There was a site somewhere that stole like 5 pages of cliff yablonski material, captions and all, and lowtax posted a thread all "haha check out what these assholes did, oh look they have open forums, welp I'm gonna go out for the evening byeeee." About 1-2K+ goons rush the other site's forums and do the usual, flooding in new and existing threads, etc.

But then a couple hours in some goon is like "so I checked the admin account, and he used an extremely basic guessable user/password. here they are, have fun," and then there were a couple thousand goons trying to sign in to the same admin account, getting kicked off, etc. I don't know what that was like. What I do know is every time I hit F5, entire forums and subforums would appear and disappear, stylesheets would change, it was total anarchy.

Then about a half hour after that, the same goon's like (and here's where I get real fuzzy on the details) "so I went poking around and the motherfucker used the same user/pass for his forum's admin panel (or something), oh also you can remote into the server from the internet and the auth was also easy to guess," and I don't remember if he asked the thread what to do or if it was his idea but he wiped the server and turned it into an open FTP. I watched it for a few minutes as files and folders would pop up over and over only to disappear and be replaced by different ones. there was one person who seemed determined to keep putting their furry porn up.

About 4 or 5 hours after this all began, lowtax posted "I had no idea you guys would go on a derby of destruction." When I checked a few minutes later to see what people would say to that, the thread was gone.

The next day, fragmaster (IIRC) posted a thread saying there wouldn't be any goon rushes going forward, and trying to foment one would be bannable. And then we never heard anything about it again. In fact when I PMed lowtax about this a while ago, he said "I actually don't remember that event at all!" so must not have been a problem :shrug:

If you guys wanna see a whole bunch of weirdos trying to defend borderline child porn you can head over to the Berserk thread in ADTRW. Not a saga yet, but gently caress that place and everyone in it.

First gets posted here:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2538641&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=327

and really picks up the last couple of pages

Be warned that the whole comic is basically an excuse to draw naked 12 year olds playing in mud and bathing together. But really it's me who's wrong about it because I read a manga that had dead naked kids in it back in 1997 and the Greeks drew naked babies or something, I don't even know.
