Oooooooh. See, that makes sense. It just wasn't enforced! I knew there was an explanation.

Oh boy, I can't wait to hear how Loxtax/the Admin team are planning on making sure it's enforced in the future!

All this time Lowtax secretly had a degree in women's studies and only said the t-word and the f-word (not gently caress) to start a conversation. The one we're having right now! The narrative that both SA and Lowtax were evolving and maturing throughout the years is more believable to me for some reason.

HOW ABOUT SOMETHING WHOLESOMEKrankenstyle posted:just filling the old goony annals, it's a christmas tradition!  and  but many also signed up to give 5 bucks a month for a year.Here's the page for Matenwa's Partnerships. https://www.matenwa.org/partnerships "Something Awful web forum" is listed as a partner. There's also a picture somewhere of a bunch of kids at the school and one is holding up a "Thank you Goons" sign but I can't find it and it's not on the main page anymore because that was like 6 years ago. And it all started because a Goon involved with the Matenwa program suggested that Matenwa be the focus of the GBS charity drive. That's right, a Successful Goon ProjectTM.

I remember once Lotax posted a forums statistics thread ages ago with every way goons access the site and there was one who only browsed using webtv. So Lotax banned him with the reason being "Just what the gently caress, dude?"

The Saddest Rhino posted:What is web TV? WebTV was a set-top box you'd plug into your TV that had a modem built in to it, so you could get on the internet without a computer. It had a web browser you could navigate with a remote control. I had an uncle who used one until well after the turn of the millennium.

Eeeh, depends on what he means. If he means “I never liked slurs, honest!” then yeah that’s nonsense. However, I read it more as “bigotry has never been okay anywhere on the forums, we didn’t enforce that before, now we are.” That’s a fairly accurate read on the situation, I think. Maybe a bit charitable to the site staff in not mentioning why it wasn’t enforced before. CannonFodder posted:HOW ABOUT SOMETHING WHOLESOME I remember this. Was this the one where the kids were holding up a sign that referenced Leonard J Crabs, or was that a different one? In any case, this is what first lade me aware that the forums could possibly have a real impact on the lives of actual people.

the wii u browser was really good actually. Good browsing controls on the gamepad and functional multitasking - you could stream video on the TV while browsing on the gamepad and then pull the video down at any time.

Blanchard’s “ideas” went mainstream thanks to John Michael Bailey’s book The Man Who Would Be Queen. You may know the author from the fucksaw incident. Wikipedia posted:In 2011, Bailey's human sexuality class at Northwestern made the headlines of major news organizations after he allowed a female guest speaker and her male partner to perform an impromptu live mechanized sex toy demonstration using a "fucksaw"[54][55]—a modified reciprocating saw[56] converted into a sex toy by attaching a "phallic object" instead of a blade[57][58]—to bring the woman to orgasm in front the audience.[55][56] Students were advised beforehand of the nature of the demonstration in this optional after-class event on kinky sex and female orgasm.[57][58] In the aftermath, Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro criticized Bailey for "extremely poor judgment" and launched an investigation.[55][59] Bailey at first defended the demonstration, saying that students found lectures featuring guest speakers valuable, but subsequently issued an apology, saying he regretted the upset caused and its effect on the university's reputation.[57] He said there would be no repeats,[57] but maintained that the demonstration had been relevant to the topic of his course, and said that the students who chose to attend were over 18, "legally capable of voting, enlisting in the military, and consuming pornography", and contended that the criticism he had received was poorly reasoned.

theres good stuff in psychology its just that the dumb poo poo from any science is usually weird pseudo-intuitive poo poo that scans well in the news imagine if your only exposure to physics came from stars trek/war, or if your conception of computers was that dual keyboard hacking scene from NCIS

Solice Kirsk posted:Hockey is far and away the most entertaining and coolest professional sport. And during the playoffs it kicks up to a whole different level. Hockey players are crazy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Malarchuk quote:During a game between the visiting St. Louis Blues and Malarchuk's Buffalo Sabres on March 22, 1989, Steve Tuttle of the Blues and Uwe Krupp of the Sabres crashed hard into the goal crease during play. As they collided, Tuttle's skate blade hit the right front side of Malarchuk's neck, severing his carotid artery.[2] quote:Malarchuk was conscious and talking on the way to the hospital, and jokingly asked paramedics if they could bring him back in time for the third period.[ quote:The excessive amount of blood that Malarchuk lost caused eleven fans to faint, two more to have heart attacks, and three players to vomit on the ice. quote:Malarchuk lost 1.5 litres of blood. It took doctors a total of 300 stitches to close the six-inch wound. He was back on the ice in ten days.
