Regarding Pete Davidson
Women have been saying for years and years that it's really not looks that matter so much it's confidence

In his case it's probably not even confidence as much as he just makes you laugh. Nothing is more attractive than a guy that makes you laugh. If you have to pick one thing that makes someone appealing in the long term it's probably a great sense of humor.

Or

A young monk approached Joshu, saying, "Master, I have just entered the monastery, please give me your teaching!" Joshu replied, "Have you eaten?" The young monk confirmed, "Uh, yes I have." Joshu calmly replied "Then you should wash your bowl." The young monk's face got really angry as he screamed at him "That is retarded. Are you serious? Come on. Ohhh my god. That's not even what I asked for, talk about bad faith. I'm outta here."

Whenever someone says 'retarded' shouldn't be posted on this website this is what I think of. This is what word filters rob you of. The perfect post.

Too many posts in a thread would bring the servers to their knees in the old days, so threads routinely got closed after 1000 posts. Idk if you're asking about something else tho.

Goons took over a browser game based on politics and war, called "Politics and War" by implementing full scale automatic communism, and ruled over the game so effortlessly the main admin actually hosed around with the rules and ended up destroying the game in order to "own" the goons.

Politics & Wars: Come check out all the better games we play

Joining goons P&W

quote:

Just recently (like months ago) Goons overran a browser game called Politics And War by setting taxes to 100%, having each goon only create one resource, and then using a discord bot to operate supply requests and hand out battle targets. As a result, all the nazi/wehraboo alliances started banding together to stop the juggernaut of actual automated communism to little success.

Eventually the creator literally changed the rules of the game in order to ban goon and goon adjacent factions, which also killed the game for the nazi factions because now what.

There was also a 'baseball' minigame that was being run by a certain player who only let people access a translated korean manga if they joined and gave her stuff, getting up to 1000 people that way. Goons also took it over.

quote:

See, the game had a minigame in it that magic'd up money out of thin air every time you clicked a box on screen. Goons saw that and went balls deep into maximizing the minigame income. We set up a cartel that forced other people to pay us if they wanted to play the game, or we'd blacklist them. Since we were playing like 90% of all baseball games anybody that chose to ignore our weekly bills quickly found themselves unable to play the minigame profitably.

The biggest anti-goon minigame player eventually got banned for using two accounts and botting the game.

To add on to what others have said, for a while the thinking was that people tended to click on short threads rather than long ones, so it was good to refresh megathreads every now and then so it wouldn't be the same 20 posters over and over again

The handful of kids who still play that game are still fuckin terrified of goons, to the point where an intentionally leaked convo of us talking about making a return a few months ago had them go full defcon 5 panicking about which people in their org were secret goon spies etc. along with some of them making a podcast episode asking for people to hack into Something Awful to get Intel on us.

12:05 PM eastern standard time, the Muslims have vanished. Check for yourself if you don't believe me. Where have they gone to?

There is speculation, of course. Scientists mention a cosmic storm that passed the Earth on January 20. A man says they are all in caves. Certain groups lament a faulty Rapture. A woman says he has taken their power and absorbed it into himself. She means Barack Obama. I doubt it, but he does seem somehow taller. The ground rumbles at times. The breaking news says WASHINGTON DC, with red concentric circles. I'm uneasy, but what can we do? Terror is defeated and if Obama were a Muslim, he'd be just as gone as them. There's no cause for alarm.

Within months, Barack Obama has declared a war on vague unease. It's a good idea, because frankly we could all use some peace of mind. Approval rating is higher than ever now that the Muslims had left, but I don't think we are happy yet. His eyes are shining sometimes, as a deer's eyes shine in a flashlight beam. Small fissures criss-cross the pavement. Trees are swaying, but the breeze is gone. Something is changing in our world.

Aeroplanes don't exist anymore. Scientists explain that the density of the air is too low to support their wings. Then how do we breathe?! We should have died by now, but I think we are evolving. Our bodies haven't changed, but the atmosphere..

One man says it was the rapture after all, and we have since entered the Kingdom of God. Barack is now the size of an oak tree. He sleeps outside since the rains have ceased, and his skin is thick to bullets. Now he wanders through he countryside impassively. He ignores a rural photo-op. He studies a leaf for twenty days. Only a fool would call this Heaven.

Satellites fall to earth like rain used to. No friction burns them away, so we trudge past countless flecks of solar panel and ribbons of golden cloth. It's a silent car crash every few hours, though cars themselves no longer run. No oxygen remains to ignite their fuel. Obama strides across the landscape, taller than the Freedom Tower. We've given up on assassination; all men are immortal now, and guns no longer fire.

I'm starting to wish the Muslims were back.

We found them with a telescope. Images of a colony on the right side of the moon. See the parts that jut from the lower right? I think they're mosques. Soon they are visible to the naked eye, but how? Their cities are enormous. We watch them as they live and die. They have our former atmosphere; the moon is fringed with blue. "Look at how they wield their guns," writes a man. "I always said he'd take our guns away." They eat and sleep like we once did, building worthless ziggurats. We have everything we wanted, but oh how we envy their strife!

It's long been clear that Obama brought this uncomfortable perfection upon us, but I can't bring myself to blame him for it. He's reminded us all of how our lives had been discarded out of fear. I know now why he grows each day. In time, when we are ready he will reach out into space. He will raise us up in his great hand, to this new Earth that gleams like a frozen star. And if Obama does not carry us, we can climb...
