the wayback machine is really bad for forums. it seems like it gets a random sack of crap each archival attempt so you get 5000 copies of index.php and then half of a funny thread. maybe they can work out a one-shot deal to just copy the archives over instead of their black box method but idk

yeah it's bad

what i want to know is what the library of congress has and how it will be read in the future or whenever sa forums and pony forums and whatnot are of historical note

getting upvoted is essentially the most basic form of validation there is. "someone liked a thing I said".

no-one actually reads the comments, it's all shouting into the void

just do what i do and keep track of your eq's in a little notebook you keep with you at all times

i really feel validated when i open up the tear-stained binder and see a 'rotor, lol'd at cat joek' or 'grossed out trig :feelsgoodman:'

front page wasn't the be all end all of current culture or anything but it was marginally influential

entire fox tv shows developed

d-level slenderman movie pre-alpha: the BMIning

and whether you agree with zack parsons' mod decisions in the games forums of old he is a good writer

and lowtax was funny in the style of the times damnit, i really wish he'd actually gone through with the redux of Cliff Yablonski so i could get as many people i hated in high school's facebook pics mocked by a middle-aged man from missouri

I dunno how it'll turn out in the end but Lowtax's daughter- the one that has appeared in his videos on occasion anyway seems to think the internet is really stupid and full of retards so IMO he has taught her properly

The real test is did she take the lesson to heart and will she avoid wasting away hours of her life on frivolous web pages and vidya games

if yes, then good job tax man

dave chappelle is in a really weird place lately. i had to turn off his netflix special because he opened with about 20 minutes of nonstop transphobic jokes while acting like he was empathizing with trans people.

michael che's latest special covered a lot of the sort of stuff dave used to cover and was pretty good though. louis ck's new special was pretty good too, though i know he's one of those people goons love to hate now that hes huge.

now that dogecoin has been destroyed we should really find a hawt new meme for the nice button.
