GBS is actually pretty good. There are fun and creative threads, and just funny nonsense. I wouldn't say anything has changed, but it's just my perception. And this was my hot take.

Isn't that the case with everyone on S.A.?

Is that the same guy that would rub the "water" out of the cyst at the top of his rear end and smear it on his bed frame every morning and there were obvious stains on the headboard from where he did that?

I'm also so smart about movies that I can only compare events to Star Wars.

Actually, the cast are all people of colour.

Which is why white Americans like it so much, I guess.

this author is incapable of telling the difference between irony and sincerity, which is neat

but I (and many other healthcare goons) have jammed things into dicks and had blood come out of said dicks and kinda shrugged and wiped it off the thing I jammed in there and made a mental note to squirt some lidocaine up in there later if he starts getting feisty

The Brew Dog guys actually did a thing where they went to San Francisco and made a beer that they served in vapor form so there's precedent for this actually

Sometimes I think jobs should be shook up a little every few years. Helps people from getting too jaded. Good job being a nurse for four years, you're now a spot welder. Spot welder, you're now in web design. See? It all gets better!

On Day Five of being waterboarded in a shed in Missouri FAU mutters to himself, "it was just a GIF..."

quote:

The match had been between Kid O'Brien -- a lubberly and now quaking youth with a most un-Hibernian hooked nose -- and Buck Robinson, "The Harlem Smoke." The negro had been knocked out, and a moment's examination shewed us that he would permanently remain so. He was a loathsome, gorilla-like thing, with abnormally long arms which I could not help calling fore legs, and a face that conjured up thoughts of unspeakable Congo secrets and tom-tom poundings under an eerie moon.

He was way more elaborate race theory racist than HPL, so I doubt it.

It would be interesting to read a good book researching racism among pulp writers, or even just in HPL's circle.

I think his girlfriend regularly responding to things like "How's your day going?" with "Gay." is more childish.

Henry Joseph Darger, Jr. (/ˈdɑːrdʒər/; c. April 12, 1892 – April 13, 1973) was a reclusive American writer and artist who worked as a hospital custodian in Chicago, Illinois.[1] He has become famous for his posthumously discovered 15,145-page, single-spaced fantasy manuscript called The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion, along with several hundred drawings and watercolor paintings illustrating the story.

In 1968, Darger became interested in tracing some of his frustrations back to his childhood and began writing The History of My Life. Spanning eight volumes, the book only spends 206 pages detailing Darger's early life before veering off into 4,672 pages of fiction about a huge twister called "Sweetie Pie," probably based on memories of a tornado he had witnessed in 1908.

I honestly can't decide if r/relationships is the worst thread, or the best thread. It's just so constantly a shitshow and certain posters are so predictable. The derails are far far longer than any of the content from reddit. But I can't look away

I tried to come up with a reasoning behind that, but to no avail. Do you have an explanation or a link?
