Going strictly by the code for it, yes.

Ok, probably gonna get made fun of for this but what does YOSPOS stand for?

Since I don't think anyone answered this seriously, and I hate fun, it acutally stands for 'Your OS is a POS', which is much more self-explanatory.

I have seen several people use it (and variations of it) as avatars.

I just saw this referenced in an a/t thread and I was wondering what the story behind :sax: is? For further context, someone asked what differentiated a conspiracy theorist goon from :sax: and someone replied "about 400 dollars."

Kyoon is a crazy person who keeps buying accounts and making threads.

Kyoon sounds like the noise a sax makes.

so how long are we gonna keep :human being: around?

We've gotten rid of better emotes, that people paid for, for worse reasons than "the emote code is a literal slur"

This made me check to see if they got rid of the flipped awesomeface emote with that same slur in its code. They did, along with the regular one.

Didn’t get em all though!

Frankly I can understand the desire to ease a loved pet out of life when it becomes suffering. My vet offered a home visit for such cases, or they would sedate the animal in the car before bringing them inside.

I don't condone it, but I understand the reason.

If you've never held a pet as they were put to sleep, I wouldn't be so quick to judge. You aren't going to be cool and dispassionate in his situation.

Yeah, that's all well and good up until the human painkillers you feed your dog have an adverse effect on their dog anatomy and they die in agony! What are you talking about?! People aren't making fun of the person because they didn't want their dog to suffer, we're making fun of them because they did it in the dumbest way possible!

An admin needs to change it manually. I think they don't do it anymore because it could break something.

Can you explain the second one to a confused forum poster? I understand what it is, but I don’t know what you’re supposed to use it for.

accept that you have to wear hitler's coat in order to defeat nature

most of us do not have that option and no matter how little we care about looking like hitler, we cannot avoid the wrath of poseidon

your great grandfather has given you both great power and a great burden, bear it proudly. wear that coat everyday, walking with a confident stride that says "though I may look like hitler, I am not, nor do I wish to be, I wear this hitler coat for purely practical reasons"

enhance this effect by sewing the words "NOT HITLER" into the back of it

Just be sure to put both NOT and HITLER on the same side of the coat. Failing that, at least make sure everyone you meet sees the NOT side first.

Yes, a common topic of conversation in the TV tropes forums was whether rape would be justified in different extremely contrived and bizarre scenarios specifically designed to justify rape. Like, “so aliens are going to blow up the Earth unless you rape this person, is it okay to do a rape then???”

At least, that’s how I remember it. Does anyone have a link to the TV Tropes mock thread? I’m sure that it got weird and awful in the end like all mock threads that don’t peter out naturally, but there was probably some funny stuff in the middle worth revisiting.

Wow, you'd think I'd remember it considering that someone explicitly bought it as a direct response to one of my posts! A post that, to put it nicely, did not age well. Great thread though, thanks for reminding me of that. Now I kinda miss my cyberwizard avatar.

I guess it's better now that I know the flickering is intentional. I would like it better if it were :fivecyberbux: rather than just :fivecbux: so it's self-explanatory.
