I was friends with a bar tender at a local gay bar, and he used to make me pint glass sized drinks that were like 30% ABV, one was called "the breakfast drink" and it tasted like pancakes and syrup.

The whiskey bar we go to on Sunday has a brunch drink called French Toast, the two main ingredients are rumchata and syrup. It's amazing.

If they did this to FBI agents, and literally only FBI agents, I don't think I'd mind. Like, if they just added FBI agents to their list of targets I'd still be 100% in favor of shutting it down. But if they said "No, stop all the anti-trans, anti-gay, racist bullshit and we are now only targeting federal law enforcement" I'd just shrug and say "boys will be boys."

I'm taking a strong interest in these developments lately, because it seems like one concrete example of activism making a difference in taking down someone lovely. All the usual players in the "I'm a reprehensible public figure but I have money" arena seem to wriggle their way out of every bind like the eels that they are, it's easy to become cynical that they'll ever see justice. But with KF it seems like they really did piss off the wrong person and every tweet that pops up is another death knell for Moon and his sycophants.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I can't even begin to guess how many people KF has doxxed over the years. I'm glad they're finally getting the media attention they deserve, but it really should've happened a lot earlier. They even doxxed some trans goons a couple years ago (during the fyad transphobia debacle).

My understanding is that the same way 4chan is where all the worst hentai/pedo/sex-weird goons went, KF is where all the worst cyberstalking and cyberbullying goons went. My old-rear end memory wanted to say it was founded closely around the time of Helldump shutting down, but apparently it was founded in 2013 well after that so who the gently caress knows. Either way yeah they're bad news. Hopefully the three-letter agencies can do some good in this world and indict both Trump and put a corkscrew in them before long. They've definitely been too proliferate for too long and done real, measured harm to people.

This article from Vice (it's in french so i read the translated version) actually mentions something awful and calls us a "hotbed of digital wickedness" because people went after Chris Chan back in the day. Wonder if the press will look into us too. Jeffrey may have some 'splainin to do

Isn't that how kiwifarms started. Mods started cracking down on people that were actually harassing Chrischan instead of just laughing at the dumb art?

Iirc kiwifarms started as the CWCwiki that was like, a crazy in-depth doxx site for the Sonichu person to the point where they were making online identities to catfish them etc. It was waaaay out there in terms of what was acceptable so eventually they formed their own forums to harass people like Chrischan, dubbed such people “lolcows” and it went downhill from there. I don’t know the specifics.

I mean even if the press wanted to spin and play havoc-- which I doubt they would, the SA of 2022 just plain isn't juicy enough-- there are very easily verifiable lines between the SA of 1999-2004, 2004-2009, 2009-2012, 2012-2020, and 2020-Present with the 2020 era being "Hey so we finally got rid of the guy who wasn't doing much of anything in what was essentially social effigy and someone who really seemed to care took the reins, and we were largely inert and harmless for nearly a decade prior to that point, so...."

Some explaining, sure, but unless there are still some truly vile basements going on directly underneath the floorboards, I doubt it'd be a net negative.

Trying to do that is going to bring out :goonsay: and :smug: about all the poo poo I couldn't possibly have known about and how dare I think my time here entitles me to know poo poo about gently caress.

But it's not really that hard to see if you trace general moods and obvious sea change events that affected the macro composition of the community. The porn forums going down and the cementing of 4chan being pretty clear events in 04, for example.

And this is all very off the point of Tweets anyway.

I saw a tweet floating around defending their stance where the tl;dr was that they have queer employees (proudflare ugh) and hosted anti lgbt sites but worked with their employees to donate all revenue to an lgbt charity. Just garbage
