Kick—syphoning up as much thotwater as possible from thirst traps

In all honesty, I never messed with yt streaming and was quite chronically on twitch for almost ten years. Mostly hanging out in Aris’ streams listening to him talk trash and dicking around. But, his channel got so big and too overrun by overzealous mods that he doesn’t ban anyone unless you @ him with something stupid. The subject of Paul Walker came up and I was memeing like everyone else and put “Pedo Paul” as the most throwaway comment ever, and guess what? I was afk and came back to a permaban. I know it wasn’t Aris (the streamer) because I know he wouldn’t have given two shits about that. So, I was like, all the other streams I ever really watch are dark souls and re1 speedruns, might as well use this as an opportunity to be more productive with my time instead of hanging out in vacuous chat rooms absorbing the exact same content continuously.

I hungout in his stream for the vga’s to see the memefest I knew it would be, but I sort of look at it as a fun time while it lasted, and a gratuitous ban from my favorite streamer is what I needed to break away from the unproductive, rote addiction I had. Podcasts are a better alternative to background noise or multitasking anyway. At least for me.

Man, she was so disturbingly good in that. Her scenes unnerved me significantly more than the ones of Leto and Connelly—and they were on freaking heroin!

I can’t help but parrot exactly what @V17 said. People just don’t want to hear the realities of war.

Answer? They’re at war

No kidding… How strange they both were UK serial baby killers. And Beverley Allitt was convicted before her 25 birthday if I looked at it right. She was caught in '91, so she was doing it as a 23-year-old girl…

ETA: they were both mid-twenties when the murders occurred. I don’t know why I got hung up on that, it is just shocking to me that they were so young and doing something so deplorable. I just imagine some older deranged woman doing something like that. Either way…unreal.

A freaking IRL Annie Wilkes

I love it when Hank sprays chains

After hearing stuff like this it always makes me reaffirm that Rush Limbaugh was one of the most dangerous, deplorable people to have the unfortunate opportunity to have a platform. Truly one of the most pernicious people to ever speak into a microphone. I don’t know if this is a bit of a non-sequitur, but I feel like this guy would’ve been a staunch listener.

Man, I used to love futuristic racers when I was a kid. I put in some serious hours into the Xtreme G and the N64 version of Star Wars Podracer. Freaking Jetmoto… man, those were the days!

You’re right, she should’ve eaten it. It was SNL after all; maybe that would’ve gotten a more enticing ambivalent reaction.

She didn’t burn it, she ripped it into pieces. She will definitely be remembered as an iconoclast but obviously hasn’t held up to be that impactful, as people apparently don’t even remember what she did.

I was actually slightly interested in this when I first saw the gameplay, but after seeing a bit of the dialogue in a trailer I was flabbergasted by how cringey it was. It seems like it was written by a teenager who just got done watching pulp fiction for the first time and wanted to see how many cuss words they could cram into each sentence.

SUPERFINE

Omega polygons in the og, lol. Man, I’m so hyped for FoR. I’ve always loved mechs from gundam as a wee lad, but unfortunately never tried out the old AC games. So awesome From decided to go back to this; I’ve enjoyed Souls quite a bit and was blown away by Bloodborne, but even though I obsessively Played Elden Ring, I’m pretty fatigued on the Souls/borne/sekiro format it became and glad they are releasing something different even though it’s going back to an older series. With the exception of remakes, I don’t think I’ve played anything “new” since ER.

@UnshavedYak for real. It’s so refreshing not having to see loads of wasted awards on the most facile, idiotic comments. Or the obnoxious avatars people made in place of their pfp. It seems so hyperbolic but it genuinely feels great not having to see all that anymore.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Even with federation off it feels like it’s already turning into a smaller version of what we had before. Not so much with post content or comments per se, but more for the already established “power users” and recreation of the exact same garbage, popular subs. I can’t believe how many people I’ve already blocked that I got sick of seeing on every single post.

It blows my mind so many gaming podcasts I listen to glossed over that when it happened. Like, it was so freaking bad they removed the game from the store, inhibiting anyone from purchasing it digitally. And everyone in the industry covered it like it was just any other bad, poorly launched game. No, it was extremely bad; truly broken in myriad of ways.

I always use them whether playing a game or watching a film; definitely if I’m watching a documentary.

Thanks for the heads up. I definitely want to opt out. I hope this place has some staying power, but I don’t want an interconnectedness to flood the home feed with too much ragebait and garbage content anywhere near what reddit turned into.
