  • Yeah, forums exist but they have a real hard time growing their userbase these days. It’s just more deliberate to visit a particular forum’s website, then usually click on a subforum, then look at a thread, and then see its contents. Then you might be on page 37 of a thread and people are all discussing that post from page 33. It’s slow compared to something like Reddit/Lemmy or Xitter style sites that put the content right in your face without having to look around.

    I’m prone to falling for this myself even as I lament forums growing quiet. But I guess the best thing to do is link directly to forum threads from other social media and hope enough users trickle in.

    What I REALLY hate is Discord servers replacing forums for things like video game FAQs and it’s really hard to find the latest announcement, bug workaround, or whatever without butting into the conversation and asking (you’re the 48th person to ask today and people are a little annoyed).


  • I can believe you knew someone like that once. But no. Religious fundamentalists are not widespread and pervasive. They dont make up the majority of a fucking fast food chain to the point where you would say it’s only “technically” open to the public. They dont make up much if any of the police force. What on earth led you to think that is the case. Did you live in a town with a population of 124 that was like that?


  • Look theres good enough reasons to hate Chick-Fil-A but you are not telling me your brain lives in a world where the teenagers who work there are all (or even a lot of them) isolated religious fundamentalist nuts who just got let off the cult compound to interact with society???

    They hire normal people with interviews??? Teenagers go to fucking public school???

    The leadership isnt even close to “westboro baptist church” levels of extreme???


  • If youre playing on Steam, keep in mind theres regular Overlord 1 and Overlord: Raising Hell. You only want to play Raising Hell, which includes the expansion pack. That expansion pack adds a section to the end of EACH story chapter, rather than being self contained.

    If you play Overlord 1 and then try to play Raising Hell, you’ll be faced with a complete play through of the whole game just to see the expansion content. Theres no need to own base Overlord 1, or to play it if you have it.







  • I’m starting to think there are more rare instances of left wing violence than common instances of right wing violence.

    In the future, when you watch more of Tyler Robinson’s social media get released to the public and then see him testify at trial, you will see how obvious it is that the claims he was anything other than a pure “reddit leftist” were shameless gaslighting.

    When that happens, please try to think back to all the other times you’ve been lied to.









  • Nah, thinking about it, it’s much more useful than that. You can presumably see inside of the container itself. Think about how many difficult and dangerous jobs involve inspecting the inside of septic tanks, aircraft fuel tanks, etc. Hell if we stretch the definition of container you could inspect the inside of an engine cylinder.

    Or, monkey’s paw, containers with air in them aren’t empty. Then it’s very difficult to use.

    Been on kiwi farms. There is no “we’re swatting these guys” thread. And there is a very detailed and well-cited thread doxxing torswats and documenting and archiving the attempt to tie their actions to KF. You literally can just go read it. Please do. The Torswats/Alan Winston thread.

    No amount of “uhhhhh they’re untrustworthy and not all of them are left wing” is sufficient to beat the clear documentation. Because of his arrest, trial, and conviction, much of what is in the thread can also be verified by law enforcement sources. If you believe otherwise, you are a victim of internet misinformation.

    And yes, I still call bullshit on the made-up musk Nazi salute from the same political machine that brought us “everyone making Nazi salutes at the Palestine protests is fine, actually” as well as “if you sit at a table with a Nazi, then you’re a Nazi”.
