Drunk Nerds posted:So... Does she not know how to spell her own name? What's with the discrepancy between her claiming to have two a's when her name is clearly listed with only one? Maybe she's including her middle name? But anyone who posts on facebook some terrible image stating they are intelligent due to letters in their name, probably isn't.

LaughMyselfTo posted:My understanding is that they get shut down because they attract right-wingers, seeing as the idiots on Tumblr are mostly left-wing. Sticking to mocking sites like Facebook where the idiots are right-wing helps to keep SA left-wing and therefore on the right side of history. Please go on about how threads that attract right-wingers get shut down, and how SA gives even a single poo poo about being on the right side of history. This showed up recently: HOLY poo poo, 200 CHEMICALS IN A BABY?

Well, I spent the effort to type in that terrible url, and watched the trailer "Almost all of our consumer products are made up of chemicals" - Senior Scientist of The Natural Resources Defense Council No poo poo, most consumers aren't interested in buying a big 'ol bag of nitrogen or carbon, we tend to prefer chemical bonds to exist before purchase.

Dear Prudence posted:So loving stupid. Use patronus instead! I remember a couple months ago, Wil Wheaton made a "___ is my spirit animal" joke, and Tumblr poo poo itself, and kept trying to make him seem racist, even after it was pointed out that Europeans have had spirit animals as part of their culture for thousands of years. So long before white people even knew Native American's even existed, we had spirit animals, but yet we are appropriating their culture if we say it now.

Diet Conan Doyle posted:The ironic part is how these lists of bullshit pronouns come across as incredibly demeaning to actual trans* or gender-neutral social issues. What trans* person in their right mind is going to look at that list and think that they aren't being belittled by assholes referring to each other as "booself?" Yeah, but think of the feelings of the boring cisgendered kids! They have nothing else in their life, so they have to come up with ways to be oppressed! Plus when the gently caress did my dog need his own pronouns? "Dog" isn't a gender, it is a species.

Woah, my pure virgin daughter can't have something as radical as "body autonomy". Then she might enjoy her life, and maybe have guilt-free sex, and that's unacceptable.

I guess since its grandparent chat now, half of mine got pretty bad dementia. My one living grandpa, after a family dinner, asked who the nice couple who joined us were. It was my brother and his wife. So if I follow in my grandparent's footsteps, I will live to my mid-80s, but have a 50% chance of completely losing my mind.

The human body is unbelievably good at surviving horrifying things. But at the same time you hear of guys in bar fights dying to one or two stab sounds. I guess you only really hear about the ones who die.

Spalec posted:How joyless must your life be if you want to cut out eating? I love cooking a delicious meal or going out with my family to a restaurant. It's so to think eating is entirely about getting nutrition for your body. Maybe if you've had your jaws wired shut because of some horrible accident or there's some other medical reason you can't eat, but just because eating is 'hassle'? Maybe some people have different interests than you, and find cooking extremely tedious, and food itself kinda boring. If there was a simple, cheap, and effective meal replacement I'd probably never eat a normal breakfast or lunch again. Plus, just because you want to replace some of your meals doesn't mean your a weirdo who will never eat a meal with their family. All that said, this specific example of a meal replacement is laughably terrible.

One of my friends just went on a Facebook rant about people going to her etsy and stealing her style of art, thus ripping her off. She melts crayons around tracings of pokemon (and sometimes zelda stuff), a thing she learned how to do from reddit.

Unfortunately this one is really quite boring. They are just putting gross things on popular tags, so it's the easiest thing to ignore. Don't want to risk seeing anything, don't browse the tags being affected. As soon as the tumblr mods, who are the slowest acting people in the world, start cracking down on these throwaway accounts the 4channers will get bored. Then both sides will declare themselves the winners and complain about each other for a few months.

Stottie Kyek posted:There's a few board games shops and cybercafes that are still doing a good trade in Edinburgh (the Games Workshop is even on the Royal Mile where the rent is obscenely high), but I think that's because gaming nerds will spend lots of money on their hobby before anything else, so even a small target market will pay for it. As kickstarter has proven, nerds are the greatest economic power in the world. Plus the game stores have an active community of players coming in and hanging out, so it's easy to sell them on more products. Doesn't help that board games are booming in popularity lately.
