like if you just want pure plain text you can have like sveral centuries of books i think?

Maybe there'd be a book on rhymes included? One that rhymed "chowder" with "louder"?

Multiple AUG threads got gassed because goons couldn't help themselves from posting plus sized women for this very reason. It's wild how much worse these forums were a few years ago.

I made a thread specifically about being plus-sized barely over a year ago, and we got some people who just cannot allow others to exist as they are. Nope, gotta remind them about their place! Thankfully a lot more posters than I expected didn’t stand for it.

But Jesus Christ when some of the people being lovely to fat people, when they themselves are fat, like your self-hatred is as clear as day and therapy will do a lot more good than being angry that others can accept themselves.

It certainly couldn't be that cellulite hadn't been invented yet, so everybody except Hollywood stars just had legs and didn't worry about their leg skin texture. Or their thigh gap.

Mind you, they were being insecure about lots of other things, including thick ankles and shiny noses, that aren't seen as a problem today.

A reasonable estimate for a "library of congress" focused on just books is 1MB or 10MB per book depending on text versus black and white scan, multiplied by about 30 million books. So somewhere in the ballpark of 100 terabytes.

Project Gutenburg is somewhere over 50k books and over 60GB. English Wikipedia is about 21GB of text.

They don't have cheerleaders, (or gridiron), in Malaysia. So he is baffled by the whole experience.

The insane thing about Ian Miles Cheong is that he is Malaysian born and bred, and has never left. But cares only about and obsesses over right wing American political figures and cultural wars.

Which is silly, because if you want whacky megalomaniacal right wing corrupt old man dictators using the courts against political enemies, then there is no need to look abroad. Malaysia has them in multiples. (Mahatir is the one that springs to my mind.)

Mahathir is actually a really fascinating case study because he has been prime minister for almost two decades, "retired", turned up again to be prime minister for just about 2 years before having a coup take over under his nose (which he was very much guilty of, his actions led to allowing a coup to happen and also allowing it to succeed). He's always been a Malay Race Supremacist and people already had issues with him, as in between his PMship he started an independent party subtly based on Malay supremacy. Once he got couped he went in hard and as at date started no less than THREE independent parties that are no longer subtle about its Malay supremacy, and he's lost so hard that now he's affiliated with the Islamist extremist party that he used to disavow. He's also 97 years old.

Imo the funniest part about tiktok is that despite how ridiculous and pervasive the censorship is, there's no evidence that any of it actually works. People get videos with allegedly suppressed words to go viral all the time. The Washington Post's social media team even did an experiment where they tried to get a video suppressed or banned by saying as many "bad" words in it as possible only for it to become their most popular video by a wide margin. Hell, the only tiktok to crack a million views on my account is also one of my most profane, and some of my other most popular vids are jokes about BDSM with no censorship.

The practice of self-censorship was developed because people saw that their videos were flopping and assumed it was because they were getting shadowbanned for mature content rather than accept the reality that The Algorithm is random and unpredictable.

That entire app has made it standard practice to use Orwellian newspeak euphemisms for everything for literally no material reason. It's like the online equivalent of every desk fan in south korea coming with a timer because a huge swath of the population there believes with no evidence that you can asphyxiate if you sleep in a room with a fan running overnight.

A similar phenomenon happened on Twitter. People straight up believe they can't say words like "commission" or "fundraiser" or "auction" or else the algorithm will hide their posts from people, but the fact is people just tend to interact less with posts asking for money or advertising a product. Despite several tweets debunking it, I still see people still to this day censoring the word commission because they think it will help more people see their posts.

they evolved from naturally occuring gears and pulleys

or they were built by aliens

or they sprout fully formed from the living metal of their planet which is also their god

sometimes they reproduce by splitting down the middle like amoeba

Outside of fanfiction, Transformers are monosex/asexual and have no way of reproducing sexually - how that works exactly depends on continuity, but basically, their essential lifeforce, called a Spark, comes from Cybertron and is later put into a manufactured/protoformed body. This is why it's a usually a big deal that the war between the Autobots and Decepticons killed Cyberton, and a few series' introduce the idea that people aren't happy with either faction.

Anyways, some transformers identify as male or female (or other/neutral, considering that screenshot) but it's really just as aesthetic thing for them.

There are a few explicitly trans characters, Anode and Lug, a case where it was handled well, as well as Arcee, which I believe was considered fairly problematic (though I admit I didn't read that series).
