Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I seem to recall that Helldump had actual consequences (e.g. getting banned), but only if you chose to participate; if someone created a thread to clown on you and you refused to post in it, nothing official would happen (although obviously anyone can buy an avatar). But of course the average dipshit wouldn't be able to resist getting into a slapfight and would frequently write themselves into a hole in no time. People who participated in Helldump could be voted to he banned. One per week. Helldump was a lot like FYAD. They claimed to be the voice of morality, but eventually just started hating people for being different. Like, being a woman.

I remember lurking PI a little after registering and being very unsettled by a vibe I got that if a dog is from a puppy mill it's an abomination undeserving of a good home and a person is a monster for even adopting one. I was like 18 then so I may have misread folks but that impression was real strong.

It's loving bizarre. Yeah, he was being a jackass. I tried to give am example of why games that don't let disabled people play are bad and stupid and he used my example as am example why not letting people play was a GOOD thing.

I tried to give am example of why games that don't let disabled people play are bad and stupid and he used my example as am example why not letting people play was a GOOD thing. Verging on derailing but I always just point back to this article about the difference between "accessibilty" and "difficulty" quote:(Though, I must say - I'm a bit disappointed From Software didn't go the whole hog and decline to compromise on their creative vision by translating the game, effectively creating an "easy mode" for English-speakers. Couldn't they just have left the game in the original Japanese and told would-be players to "git gud" enough to understand it? I'm sure those aggressively defending From Software's creative freedom against imagined philistine hordes would have fully supported this decision and studiously hit those language books.)

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:Last girl after reading your posts in here and QQCS I think you are cool of course lol, I never said I wanted to be one. A lot of C-SPAM posters rally around it because I used to be IQ twice. I am open to the idea down the road when things have cooled off completely because everything is just absolutely insane but it's not something I covet. I just want C-SPAM to be a funny space for people to enjoy without being weird misogynists or crazy revolutionaries talking about direct action that would be frowned upon for a SS visit, and i think the increased IK/Qs there is a good stopgap but they still want mods that are representative of what the community is nowadays because the current ones were from the halcyon days of a temporary subforum specifically for the 2016 election and not, as Smythe puts it, an ostensibly "fyad-lite" shitposting politics subforum. That's why there were a lot of QCS threads over it because there's just a little friction with particular mods, (one wants to use slurs and is generally antagonistic/disdainful and sometimes are absent for some stretches of time) save for one really great one who does thankless work because they're very quiet and levelheaded and mostly are in the background. Since C-SPAM is good at self-policing, they just want oversight and more tools to help the community so that people aren't running into QCS, with tears and snot streaking down their face screaming about how genocide denial is a thing there (it is not, and its complicated and dumb about how that happened because it wasn't even a C-SPAM poster that did it, it was an admin that was railroaded out of C-SPAM at one point in its early days, wonder why~)  my fav   As for the praxis thing, its literally just a turn of phrase for certain things in C-SPAM, but most of the time its just celebrating the mockery of this amazing tweet. That's all lol, yep~ Nothing esoteric or nth level irony about it to be pretentious and brag about how you just don't get are culture  , we're just being goofy and having fun with it. It's just good praxis innit?EmmyOk posted:people from cspam r incapable of saying straightforward things wo using the words modality, calculus, praxis, toolkit, etc. its true  we're just catchphrase: the forumwe also say stupid things like "ptolemaic" as in "what you're saying right now? ya its extremely ptolemaic and we need you to take it from a 11 to a 2 thank u appreciate it~" "smoothbrained", "piss tape is real", "Low prices to you on this wonderful day!", "snart helg" "unreasonable helgefølelse", "imagine the smell", a bunch of stupid trumpisms we like to mock relentlessly, and variations of "gently caress pepsi" "you are a simple pepsi brother" "baby flavored pepsi" Lastgirl has a new favorite as of 22:10 on Dec 12, 2019 |

It was obvious what Twisty was doing, and why, and it was incredibly tedious. If you went into AI and started asking what the spinny black things were called, what makes them spin, what are those pedals on the ground for, what's that big wheel thingy inside do the AI folks would probably get annoyed at you. I think pretending to be naive is a rather boring troll, but I guess the rest of SA really ate it up.

JacquelineDempsey posted:Dare I ask what "Cum Town" is? comedy podcast popular with what is known as the "dirtbag left"; theres a lot of overlap between them and the more-overtly political podcast "chapo trap house". The wikipedia entry for chapo more or less describes their particular strain of thought accurately wikipee-pee-doo-doo posted:Biederman has said the show's intended audience are those seeking alternatives to existing leftist media, which he characterizes as "the dominion of either upper-middle-class smugness when it's even the least bit funny and insufferable self-righteousness when it's even the least bit conscious."[4] Similarly, Christman said that leftist perspectives in media tend toward either the "smug above-it-all snark of The Daily Show or the quaver-voiced earnestness of, like, Chris Hedges or something. Neither of those models offer the visceral thrill of listening to people who actually give a poo poo (as opposed to the wan liberalism of people who are mostly interested in showing how much smarter they are than Republicans)."[4] Menaker has said that their perspective is meant to be in "marked contrast to the utterly humorless and bloodless path that leads many people with liberal or leftist proclivities into the trap of living in constant fear of offending some group that you're not a part of, up to and including the ruling class."[4] also first time i was exposed to pet island there was a mod (i think) going off the rails about how trying to breed a less "gamey" pitbull would be ruining the breed Tiler Kiwi has a new favorite as of 22:27 on Dec 12, 2019 |

Cum town is a show that will do bits ranging from what if Batman characters were gay to twenty minutes spent discussing the McLaughlin group and what if John McLaughlin was constantly trying to gently caress Eleanor Clift Nick's knowledge of the McLaughlin Group is kinda impressive tbh It'll also rot your loving brain until every song you hear can have it's lyrics changed to be about gay sex including the NFL theme Stay away

LK is a good egg and c-spam seems to have warmed up or don't care anymore because earlier because he would probate posts there that were out of context to the culture as a d&d mod so you can see why the QCS threads started cropping up (he wasn't the source of the problem) because it had been unheard of to do that until moderation changed hands. It was literally an unspoken rule about boundaries between the forums before then, and I guess it's now spoken.
