Look, anyone with a working brain should be worried about the prospect, because if he wins, then that means we're in for the worst four years (and probably much longer than four years) of our lives here in the United States. I don't think we come back from that.

Right. And now, going into an election year where misinformation is growing in weight and volume, we will have no idea who's artificially boosting their content.

Also, it means that every single breaking news tweet, who are you going to see first? All the dick riders who paid for Blue, which slants a very particular demographic's way.

2024 is going to be a nightmare.

You know, one time I also found a deceased man in clownish makeup in a Wendy's parking lot in '96. Had his pants down. The strangest thing.

I had the strongest need to urinate, and I inexplicably pissed all over this dead clown.

I think about it constantly.

Naw, it'd be a fun episode where Moss gets REALLY into roguelikes

I like how it started with a smaller Fuck Spez until some group clearly went "nah, we need to go bigger"

Legit. It's been great, keeping up while not having to actually do anything that might support reddit.

The real power fantasy is being able to help people. Because that's the worst sort of helplessness, seeing bad shit happen and knowing deep in your heart that there's very little you can do about it.

Yeah, this is pretty much it. Survival strategies for most schools are to lay low, don't draw attention to yourself, and definitely don't give the bullies easy ammunition.

In my small town, a three-letter f word slur was employed regularly by pre-teens who had no understanding of what that word meant. You knew they learned it from their parents, because what fucking kid learns that kind of language in the 80s and 90s without the internet?

Of course people didn't hear about trans kids. Because if you did, they would have been bullied so much that they'd either leave, or just be a legendary target forever.

I swear, people forget what it's like to be in school with aloof administrative staff and shitty peers.

I was never a hardcore Reddit user, just a casual scroller, and I have to say, with the Connect android app and after subscribing to a few communities, my experience has largely been the same. It'll be better when/if more people migrate over I feel like, but in terms of the actual experience, it's already slightly improved from Reddit.

Other than the occasional bugs, but anything getting stress tested is going to experience growing pains, and it's kind of charming. Like, new mmo launch charming. :D
