ah, so now instead of China spying on TikTok users, it will be Russia spying on TikTok users.

a paywall I am sure will be exactly as effective as google’s attempts at ad-blocking on YouTube, for exactly the same reason: a dedicated group of pissed off nerds who spend their time getting around it as a service to everyone. Bypass Paywalls Clean is already a thing.

I mean, a motorcycle is transportation. It can transport maybe you and one passenger (and some light cargo, I know), but it’s more practical in a car-centric service economy than walking everywhere. They’re also pretty fuel efficient for being so light, and fairly dangerous if people don’t notice your tiny ass (which is an advantage of all the noise)

I have literally zero negative or positive opinions about Harleys as motorcycles, I don’t own one or know anyone who does, I don’t even have a motorcycle license so feel free to correct me if you have a differing opinion – to me, they just are what some people enjoy. It’s the… quality of the people who tend to enjoy them that gives me the ick. Like a bar that didn’t quite fully kick the Nazis out. I know they aren’t all Nazis, but there are still a disturbing number of Nazis. Or at the very least, American neo-nazis are not frequently depicted riding crotch rockets from overseas.

I almost bought this until I read your username

the thing is, current societal structures have outlived their usefulness. For much of our history we have been groping in the dark, as you said, only within the last 200 years have we really started to understand the world around us as it is. Prior to only just recently, we did not have the technology or knowledge required to ensure that everyone had enough, and we didn’t have the connection with other people thousands of miles away that first radio, then television and movies, then the internet provided.

Nowadays I firmly believe there is enough for everyone (if not for fuckheads with multiple yachts), and we could do some amazing things if we all worked together, but the power structures of hierarchical society and capitalism refuse to die gracefully.

I’ve heard part of the reason some people choose a Harley is because the sound makes them more noticeable in traffic, as a safety thing.

The merch is fucking stupid, but at least the noise does have a safety benefit, plenty of motorcycle riders get killed because other drivers didn’t notice them – good luck not noticing a Harley in close proximity.

you’ll have to forgive me for being short on sources off the top of my head (and I don’t care enough to go looking for them again) but I can remember a few different instances of this happening in recent memory. One being a fitness tracking app showing soldiers doing laps around the perimeter of a secret military base, another being either Russians or Ukrainians (probably Russians) being morons with their smartphones and getting an airstrike called on them for it. I recall, also, that (I think) ISIS once posted a video of a training camp and within a couple days 4chan had identified the location of it based on the geographical features shown and got it bombed.

I don’t care enough to go find the sources, this is just what I remember reading about, someone who gives more of a fuck will have to verify for me; but in short: yes. Perhaps not exactly “stream sniping” in the sense of actively livestreaming your position as an attack comes in, but certainly, modern technology has made it easier than ever for your OPSEC to be absolute utter dogshit.

fuck me and that sub was made in 2017

yeah nevermind it’s exactly the same type of shitposting.

I dunno, I mean, I never saw such an obsession with beans on reddit.

Whether that’s a better, different kind of shitposting or exactly the same kind of shitposting is up to you.

I’m apparently best enjoyed in small doses; nobody else really seems to enjoy my company long-term, so why would I be any different?

I’ve always liked guns (some of the mechanics at play in some are fascinating, the wackier ones are like a rube goldberg machine inside), never wanted one in the house because of depression. now, it’s looking like eating a 12 gauge sandwich is, in fact, probably going to be the better way out, eventually. I’m trying to put it off as long as possible until my choices are “get a gun now or you won’t be able to later, at all”.

yeah I’m gay and am on the autism spectrum, between that and being a leftist “parasite” (food stamp recipient), I’ve largely resigned myself to my fate as well. But I’m not going to fucking El Salvador or any other memory hole he shoves people into. I’d rather die on my front lawn.

I guarantee you that would not work, because I went through cyber schooling as a kid long before covid was a thing and they tried the same with me when I procrastinated and played games instead of doing my work. They locked it down progressively more and I kept breaking out until finally, they gave me a computer so locked down you couldn’t open task manager, command prompt, safe mode had a password…

I was back to full access in <3 days. At the age of like 12. And apparently, the school’s IT department basically said “we can’t lock it down any more or else he wouldn’t be able to do work on it, either”. And then they gave up.

In short, that will not stop a crafty enough, stubborn enough kid. Guaranteed.

The Oblongs was fun.

Drawn Together was awful, but a trashy-yet-fascinating kind of awful, and definitely qualified as unhinged.

oh, and superjail, and squidbillies. 1000%, superjail and squidbillies, someone else should’ve mentioned these by now, I hate to this day that I can still remember them.

Shit, most of Adult Swim’s lineup was either syndicated fox series, anime, or completely fucking duck tits insane.

well, before antidepressants, I would’ve said “jerk off”

but now, errr… I dunno, torture people in video games?

just waiting for the end.

destroy your device by… having to reboot it. the horror! The pain! The financial loss of downtime!

Do it, coward, you won’t.

(please make these morons go away forever I beg of you)

first of all you’re not shittymorph, and second of all, I believe we prefer meta shitposts about beans around these parts
