If the Trans Rights domino falls then next will be Taiwan, then Japan, then Australia and soon they'll be on the shores of California.

Elon makes me long

why would he say this

[nampad]

Why did some British ginger bloke try and make a Trump thread in the US politics area? Fuck off back to your own country.

There are some weird cunts who try to act like they are so cosmopolitan, that they can discuss everything about the US.

Best example is Xando, who is actually from East Germany but wants to be like an American. Eastern Germans often tried to seem more cosmopolitan because they were not able to leave their country. Funniest thing is many got some Italian/southern/exotic names from their parents trying to reflect that.

[Boredfrom]

thus begins the progressive stack

I didn’t even knew what it was until I googled it… man, the USA is genuinely obsessed about race.

Kinda hard not to be with the history this country has.

But you guys are making everyone else insane.

No shit teachers shouldn’t make any group feels excluded, why the fuck you think is a good idea to prioritize one over another… specially in education.

[Boredfrom]

Elon makes me long for the days when obscenely rich people had no interest or involvement in world affairs.

Yeah… maybe that’s why people are legit worried that an obscenely rich retard is involving in other countries affairs like he just involved himself with a cave rescue (were he ended calling one of the rescuers a pedophile because he didn’t suck his dick good).

Damn, domino theory is back?

Biden, seize his assets, strip his citizenship, and throw him out of the country!


Ummm...you can just not use Twitter.


Whoah, let's not go that far.  We have to be realistic and practical about how we participate in society and the compromises we have to make.

[Boredfrom]

I know these sorts of donations do happen with every presidency but has it ever been this blatantly transparent? Or is this just media giving it more attention?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/google-donates-1-million-to-trumps-inauguration-inauguration-will-get-placement-on-youtube-homepage.1078062/

Pretty sure it was always this blatant If you actually paid attention. Doesn’t mean is not worth criticism, specially because the Cartoon incident at WashingtonPost, but people act like this unprecedented.

Why is there an inauguration fund anyway? Can't the new president just go to work at 9am on their first monday, like in any civilized country, and forego this banana republic lavish party? 

FFS, the worst thing about our imminent annexation is we'll have to partake in your 40-month election season and all your dumb political "traditions".

Those traditions are the only thing that actually Trump wants to do. He is going to fuck off to go golfing after that. He is just there for the ass pats.

Well Trump is a great guest for parties, events, conferences, state funerals and visits of other heads of state

We need an army of Luigis to step up and do the right thing.

A typical ree. Always needing someone else to do the thing

We need an army of actual terrorists, you say?

User banned (1 month): advocating violence

[Uncle]

an uncharacteristic lack of judgment from the user named Triggerhappytel

[Boredfrom]

And this is why he's doing it.

Last few years have shown there is no leash. Especially if you're rich or have any iota of power.

You had a lady say "deny, defend, depose" nearly get her ass thrown in jail with a heavy fine. Musk can talk serious geo-political shit all day and "oh ho ho that Musk"

Several dozen users complain about not wanting to see Trump threads. Guess whose fault it is?
That's right, the dumbfuck users' fault!

Look, I need to be real: what people want isn't actually an end to the Trump threads, they want more fun and interesting threads to post in. They don't want just horrifying threads that make them angry or sad. They just think that getting rid of the Trump threads will cause those fun and interesting threads to magically surface from beneath the waves.

There was a thread week or two back about people not meeting up in real life like they did pre-pandemic and I literally said "We had these sorts of threads all the time before the pandemic, just make them and people will show up for a drink or whatever. They want to hang, you just need to make the thread" and immediately one of the guys I was talking to put the impetus on me, and the rest of staff, to make a thread and organize such a thing. We can't force you all to have fun, we can't force people to make silly and fun threads, we can't force people to see each other as more than just soldiers in a discord server cold war. There's posters who have literally admitted, on this very forum, that this is why they are here. I mean, Slay makes fun comicbook threads all the damn time and one of the biggest requests in here is for giving people the ability to ignore him. Man tries to bring fun into people's lives and they want to make him disappear from the thread list for it.

Edmond Dantes, bless him, is single-handedly making a ton of interesting threads based on recent archeological discoveries and they're always super fascinating. Yet, we had to ban someone in one of those threads for directly attacking him over his formatting of the OPs of all things. I'm staring at this going, "What the fuck?" Dude is trying to expand people's horizons and talk about really interesting shit and we're going to crap on him? People literally complain when we send out alerts to try and get people to take part in GotY, which is supposed to be something fun!

Hell, when I have the opportunity I try and make fun threads too. My first thread this year was a silly one about how pooping increases your gains when working out. Then I organized a Pokemon TCG Pocket tournament, something, I want to note, that literally anyone can do. The tournament tool is right there, it's super easy to use, and I am more than happy to walk people through any issues they have. I did that with the Flowers for the writing contests and it's going really well and all he uses it for is sign-ups. Dude doesn't even use the brackets feature, just the sign-ups one. Shit, I have a whole calendar of fun ideas organized for this year. Who know what will work and what won't, but I want to at least try and bring people a little more joy. That said, I'm a drop in the bucket. Slay is a drop in the bucket. Edmond is a drop in the bucket. If people want more fun threads, if people don't want to see as many sad or depressing threads, then they need to make those threads.

People need to make the threads they want to see. Instead of bumping 6 month old threads on interesting topics and getting depressed when nobody notices, make a new thread so people will notice. Remember that there's social media accounts, maintained by a user here, that post links to any new threads that get made. Posting a new thread is a really easy way to get people to notice something going on. If something weird happened to you, make a thread about it! I'm going through the vault and there's tons of interesting and silly threads in there. Like the time a guy got a phishing link in an email and then posted the link in the OP of his thread about it or the guy who trained an AI to post like an Era user or the guy who had a giant cat invade his garage or the guy who found a video of an indie band in his walls. Remember Gaborn from the other place? Dude's politics weren't great, but he made a lot of really fun threads about absurd news stories that people could joke around in.

What I'm saying is if people want to see less Trump thread there's options for that. You can just turn off the political threads entirely by going into user settings and finding the bit that says "forum aggregation" and turning them off physically OR you could bury those depressing and infuriating threads by posting fun and silly threads and having fun and joking around. I get that the internet isn't really a place for fun anymore, as a result of social media algorithms focusing on making people angry and frustrated so they get into fights and stay on the platforms, but we don't have an algorithm here. We never will. If people want more fun threads, then they need to post more fun threads and stop trying to get us to shut said threads down.

You guys need to be the change, we can't do it for you. If people want to have fun, then you need to actually just do that. Stop hiding in your OTs and mega threads, stop sitting in your discords complaining about the users you hate, stop engaging in those negative spirals and actually try to have fun. Make threads about silly news stories, make threads about weird stuff that happens to you, make threads about your favorite shows/movies, make threads about shit you find interesting. I guarantee that people will show up for them. Maybe not all the time and maybe not at first, but people want to have fun.

B-Dumbs:
"GO HAVE FUN YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT" :

My first thread this year was a silly one about how pooping increases your gains when working out.

now THIS was a banger

"And im not going to do anything about it"

You understand why everyone in that forum mistrusts each other and dont want to be open about anything. You just not going to do anything about it. 

 

I mean, Slay makes fun comicbook threads all the damn time and one of the biggest requests in here is for giving people the ability to ignore him. Man tries to bring fun into people's lives and they want to make him disappear from the thread list for it.

He is also miserable unfunny enabler of Fanboys and culture warriors.

Edmond Dantes, bless him, is single-handedly making a ton of interesting threads based on recent archeological discoveries and they're always super fascinating.

Dude is trying to expand people's horizons and talk about really interesting shit and we're going to crap on him?

He also used an alt account (probably) to create a thread about Tolkien and bitch about it. The possible dude alt has been a notorious shit starring asshole since GAF days, and one of those people that make miserable threads so everyone can be miserable.

[Besticus Maximus]

We can't force you all to have fun

No seriously, we've tried everything

Stop hiding in your OTs and mega threads

That's right, the dumbfuck users' fault!

A politics & news sub forum instead of just GAF style off-topic would make things a bit better there. Every forum but the smallest I've been on is more pleasant when politics is quarantined.

But B-Dumbs won't be told what to do and the loudest part of his userbase are marxist-leninists or Maoists who believe "everything is political"

That, and I can't imagine the site owners would be happy about the mods making steps to make threads easier to ignore and site traffic/engagement to potentially drop-off because of it.

[Uncle]

And this is why he's doing it.

Last few years have shown there is no leash. Especially if you're rich or have any iota of power.

You had a lady say "deny, defend, depose" nearly get her ass thrown in jail with a heavy fine. Musk can talk serious geo-political shit all day and "oh ho ho that Musk"

I believe the lady also said "you're next"

almost like there are very specifically defined rules and laws and people who are at least smart enough to game the system don't cross those lines

"wtf, I tell my neighbor I'm going to kill him and I get hauled off to jail, but musk gets to say he believes a legitimate political party might be the best choice for leadership of another country?! look at this double standard!!"

[Uncle]

this might be more insightful than he knows

why isn't the internet fun anymore?

why was it ever fun in the first place?

I would posit that a huge part of it was based around the ability to criticize and mock things

seanbaby, i-mockery, something awful, the "kill barney the dinosaur" webpage, albinoblacksheep and newgrounds full of crass disgusting parodies, angry video game nerd, nostalgia critic

it's not everything, but thinking back to the craziest times you ever had online, it probably intersects with mockery or idiocy

most comedy is based on those things, look at simpsons or south park

most people weren't having an uproarious time sharing gardening tips, or if they were it was when they got to say "lol sharon is a fucking moron, she can't grow carrots for shit, look at those shriveled bellends"

when we must always be mindful of how our words can hurt others and that some are less privileged and should not have to deal with your microaggressions, kind of drains the fun out of the room doesn't it

[Nintex]

Hey guys, remember to have fun. Like the fun we had watching the NBA, American Football and silly European Football.. everyone loves some sports... oh wait, how about the silly threads about the sales numbers... well maybe just a fun thread about Harry Potter... Anime! We have a lot of Asian members who love Anime and... maybe they're busy doing other things haha.

YouTube has tons of fun content, I mean I just watched Mr. Beast.. no wait Colin... eerrr haha well can't go wrong with the Angry Videogame Nerd right? Oh really? Well thankfully there is always Red Letter Media.... Oh... well...

Ok ok, let's go away from our screens for a bit. Baking, everyone loves baking especially with their own mixer. Christmas season was just here, what gifts did you enjoy? Surely we have a hiking and running community, lets get some fresh air everybody? Ableist? Well maybe this isn't for everyone.

Well time for Blamespace to make us all smile, he surely has a funny meme up his sleeve...

Oh I know, let's just go back to the one thing we all love: video games, surely everyone enjoys a bit of Wukong, Hogwarts Legacy, Stellar Blade, Cyberpunk 2077 and is excited about the next Nintendo Direct! PC gamers show off your rigs!


You got it chief! If you lived in Pallet Town, would you grind on Snorlax or the old man explaining Pokeballs for wholesome WLW content
  

Lol let the old man cum on my face please woof woof awooo


Why aren't you people organizing against the collective jewish nation that has made us addicted to crack capitalism I'm not going to do the fucking work yall.
  

I can't believe people are spending $3000 on GPUs when I'm literally too lazy to work  


Look at my Ikea furniture in Trump Tower




I hope you are having FUN B-Dubs you ass clown 

[HaughtyFrank]

Oh geez, B-Dubs, I really wonder where the fuck all the fun members went? Surely can't be that you either banned them or scared them away with your miserable politics
