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.

Come to thebire bDubdds, were having loads of fun!

Uncle will jerk you off!

Sure, if Trump was a virgin shut-in easily manipulated by others with only an invalid woman around the chances of him raping someone go up. But in the real world rather than the head canon you'd like to be true, he's a fraud desperate to not be seen as the awkward weirdo loser he is, not a mastermind avatar of evil looking for prey.

Benji… that also sounds like Chris Chan.

I just find the grabbing of sentences out of context to make chastising vague allusions that seem more like non-sequiturs than an actual argument to be annoying.

Keep saying 'This is a funeral'. Maybe it'll make sense if you keep saying it.

Gee, I wonder how many funerals will be triggered by Trump's draconian policies.

Wonder how many LGBTQIA+, youths and elders, members of your communities will commit suicide out of being denied their identities and/or being perceived as mentally ill.

Wonder how many will die of sickness, cold or famine while being held in one of those internment immigrant camps during the mass exportation which will no doubt be as inhumane as possible.

Wonder how many will die out of being shipped out in a completely random country where they can't speak their language and be left by themselves the moment they set foot there.


I can go on and on with this shit.

But no, this is a fucking funeral, haven't you been at a funeral?!?! Gotta keep decorum my guy! Have you been living under a rock all this time?!

Fuck off with your decorum.

 Look how many genocides about to kick off on January 20th. And Obama have the gall to yuck it up with Trump at a funeral? Obama  'd up.

Probably not as much as they'd like. Afterall, you can't keep telling kids that their only option is suicide if nobody is actually doing it.

if they go through with it, maybe they are?

people of fully sound mind tend not to go suiciding

I keep hearing about how lgbt people are powerful and girlbosses and whatnot, maybe demonstrate that for once by not letting others dictate your own self-worth

if everyone stopped calling me male I wouldn't suddenly start questioning my identity or consider killing myself over it

You, the dude that calls anime fans pedos, suddenly is worried about calling Trump a rapist.

Just accept the L for once, Potato.

Dude, the paedo community/anime fan Venn diagram is one circle inside the other. I'll let you work out which is which.

are video games made in japan where characters have pointed chins and big eyes ok

Are the characters you're supposed to find sexy underage or do they intentionally look underage?

That is legitimately one of the most unhinged bans in a while. I can understand closing it since they have the other thread about nerds and cards, but a one month ban, for that?

It's almost definitely because making fun of tarot, occult shit or anything vaguely witchcraft related is offensive to that one mod who demands their idiocy be part of the protected class.

The one who culturally appropriated Ancient Greek religion?

My point is largely this: people need to stop taking everything so seriously, it's an internet forum. People should be here to talk about the things they enjoy, find important, and to have fun with each other.

Is Trump a good example of locker talk just being locker talk? being a sex pest make  this argument better than being a rapist?

(You should note that I don’t disagree with you that Locker Room talk is very different from being a full pervert… just that using Trump as a starting point is terrible  )

I don’t really have first hand experience with therapy (it shows) but my understanding about the key lesson is you can’t change how others act. Only how you react and respond to circumstances. Even media and whatever about gays is about the character learning to accept themselves, right?

Where did this idea of telling people they’re broken and that they need external validation come from? It seems needlessly cruel.

Yeah, because kids are kids and have developing minds. They're not prepared to be aware of, much less want to willingly fight against, the effects on attention spans that ALL social media- not just TikTok- but ALL social media was deliberately engineered to possess. This is not solved by banning a single platform. It is solved by heavy regulation of our Internet landscape, but methinks that some of the regulation that might actually be necessary is going to be fought against by my generation anyways. Like, I seriously think some level of anonymity has to eventually go away and that criminal prosecution must be allowed to be more easily leveled against users for things like harassment and bigotry. KiwiFarms shouldn't be a thing. I also think that all entertainment and algorithmic-based social media platforms should be heavily restricted to users under 18.

It’s called a vendetta, and it’s the one thing era moderation is good at, they will hold that until they can get you for the smallest thing possible

I love how anything 'straight' is seen as ewwww by a lot of these weirdos.

More queer rep is cool imo.

Awww I love this

Kidpool is a girl in this one

Wait what

aaaaand I'm back out lol

Spiderboy is 10 years old.

This is absolutely hilarious!

From Dr. Dossier not knowing that kidpool is a girl before commenting to these perverted freaks thinking getting off on 10 year old kids getting it on. They are not right in the head.

They just banned SoapboxKiller--who was a regular "weird slice of life" thread poster--for what...a month? For quoting the bible. 

Actually banned him forever for quoting the bible   https://www.resetera.com/threads/how-do-you-feel-about-organized-religion.1064070/post-133174824

You really gotta love how quick they are to stab each other in the back. Permanent ban because you quoted the bible; no matter if you go "b-b-b-buh i meant it this way". Don't have much recollection of this particular user; but with a post count like that, I guess that's what ya get for cozying up with a bunch of cutthroat snakes.

I'm skeptical of Trump being a rapist because he just seems incredibly awkward and weird about women. He says and does inappropriate things and doesn't understand boundaries but it really doesn't seem like a power thing to me. This is one reason I don't really buy Carroll's story at the same time I believe he's probably inappropriately touched tons of women. This is a man who openly awkwardly kisses women in public and has for decades, but a surprising number of them understand it as some weird thing that's not entirely sexual or dominance based. See also: Trump's love of pageants.

TLDR: Trump is an admirer of the female form.

edit: Trump's "locker room talk" is a clear weirdo trying to be "one of the boys" with guys he thinks are major pussy slayers. This is what he does with basically any topic, it's why he seems to love dictators. They're the ultimate "masculine" personality to pretend to be.

I really don't understand how global culture has collectively seemed to forget that this guy is a huge fraud.

This is pretty much my position on this. Especially because the 'worst' thing they could pin on him was paying off a washed up pornstar. Plus by all accounts in all his relationships the women were in charge. Especially with Melania. He's more of a simp really.

They don't give a fuck. This is one of the most hilariously cowardly forums out there. I'm thankful Hecht who is an admin and also afaik an armed forces veteran too at least has their head on straight. Cause it's so woeful here sometimes, seriously.

Im thinking of reading a new book, do you guys think this is any good? 

The novel employs speculative fiction and historical fiction to reimagine Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein (1818). The story switches between Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein in Geneva, Switzerland in 1816 and the story of Ry Shelley, a transgender doctor and Victor Stein, a transhumanist, who become involved in the world of artificial intelligence and cryonics in present-day Brexit-era Britain.[3][4]

Benji, why can they say the t word on facebook but we can't here??
 

[Uncle]

all of those statements are mean, but they're also not illegal

it wasn't that long ago that practically every site allowed you to say such things, that was just the internet

it's also fair, because people can also say things like "all republicans are trash" or "whites are gross disgusting pieces of filth"

isn't it good to drag these things out into the light, so you can see how people really feel and then complain to their employer or refuse to patronize their establishment?

or if someone targets you specifically in a defamatory way, you can sue them
