Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.
Check my post history, I guess. 😅
They’re helpful in providing the proper context to a text-based convo. IRL, you’d just see my face and body language and hear my tone and understand things better so we have to adjust when texting. This is why people feel like they need the “/s” for sarcasm and whatnot. 👍
Peace, brother. ✌️
Outspoken monotheist, Muslim persuasion. 🤓 And I wasn’t then, lol, that’s a more recent development. At the same time, much of the content was just depressed teens being edgy, not necessarily evil or overly malicious. /tv/ was basically all memes! Let’s not forget the chans had blue and red boards and blue boards were sfw. Fashion, cooking, technology, and many other boards were pretty “normal”.
I used to be a regular on /tv/ and /r9k/ between 2011-2015, I was even a tripfriend on /r9k/ for a while. It was very entertaining, all the interesting schizos were on the chans at some point. I even “drew” my own wojaks and pepes, lol, but only once each because I have no artistic talent, I’m just a big yapper.

I’m with you on this one, Chippy. But you kinda have to let people be useless, as long as they’re harmless at least. We just gotta tolerate it (even if the obvious "virtue signalling " is annoying) and move on without losing our temper. 🥲
It can never be as deep as a monogamous one (ceiling, not floor) and idk anyone IRL who would be okay with it in earnest (and not just saying they are not to lose the person thinking about opening it, or access to their resources), so idk. I would say I’m cautious about them, particularly how healthy they can be.
Actually wise people*, you can be intelligent and remain a selfish, sociopathic waste of skin.
Thank God they’re mostly just broken, weak, hedonistic and distracted men with daddy issues without remarkable intellects and not a group of Henry Kissingers. 🥲
Guess it depends on the audience. I can recommend the young gay and gay-friendly people in my community anything in Almodovar’s filmography, but not so much to my MIL (she’s not a hater but would find it distasteful and unnecessary) and other members of my family and in laws. And I can recommend one of Shahid Bolsen’s rants to the latter group but certainly not to the former (even if they might benefit more from it 🤷♂️).
I still haven’t met IRL someone I could recommend Sseth or Mandalore to, but I think our community doesn’t spend a lot of time outside anyway. 😅
If matcha wasn’t basically the new boba (at least in the West), trendy and whatnot among the girlies, people would admit it’s just grass + whatever else is in the drink (and it’s not the grass but the rest which makes it enjoyable). Or maybe it really does taste great but only for half of the Western world, idk, but it hasn’t been my experience (and my wife hates it too so there are always exceptions, lol).
Hume (and others before him I assume, but I know it’s at least in “Agrippa’s trillema”) said something similar but a bit more accurate: you can’t get a moral should from what is, empirically/materially speaking. And politics are an extension of ethics. They’re all matters of conviction, of belief (and standing behind them shows one’s character, ofc). This is why you can be as smart and knowledgeable as possible and still be a total cunt (think Kissinger), because a person can simply not care.
PS. : “Chatting with AI” is, as the kids say, wild.
That’s not pride, that’s deep insecurity and weakness turning into sociopathic selfishness and rage. That’s not a protagonist for me, but hey my wife liked the show so you know, it’s just a matter of sensibilities I guess. 🤷♂️👍
Just because I like a little pineapple on my pizza?!
“What if someone you hate is alive and not hurting anyone, would you want to impact their lives negatively?” Some people are rough.
Deeply flawed and vapid, but sure. The problem is they don’t get their comeuppance and their worst traits are not even played for comedy, unlike Sunny, Seinfeld, Curb, Arrested Development… It always left a bad taste in my mouth, but I didn’t watch much (my mom watched it some times, those are the only times I caught it) so maybe the more problematic ones had good arcs and developed into more likeable characters. TBF, I also didn’t like Breaking Bad because a terminal cancer diagnosis does not morally allow one to become a murderous drug lord, lol, and I don’t wanna follow a character I can only hate. 🤷♂️
Can’t go wrong with Italian, IMO.
I don’t even know how one can be religious seriously and think the One behind everything is not more real than us, the universe depends on Him after all.
At least the “I have no material evidence for God so I don’t believe in Him” position is somewhat more sensible… except that, the same way that the programmer is not inside of the Sims, God is not inside and cannot be contained by the universe so you won’t find Him here (and even then we share more with the Sims, because we’re both made of the same materials that exist in this universe, who knows what the “God substance” is, if there is even one?).
Not that I can recall. An apology in earnest (when one has realized the error in their ways/thought, acknowledges it and wants to rebuild the bridges they might have burned or damaged by being nice and actively changing) is never wasted on me, I think.
