- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 8 hours ago:
because education teaches kids how to think and to know right from wrong.
Which is why the cabal of fascist pedophiles have spent the past 50+ years trying to demonize it.
- Comment on What does the acronym MAGA stand for? (wrong answers only) 2 days ago:
Molesting Adolescent Girls Anywhere
- Comment on Artist whose work was used in Marathon without permission now has a credit in the game 6 days ago:
They better be getting a fuckin paycheck too.
Don’t get to steal peoples work, then go “oopsie”, slap their name in credits, and think alls well.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 6 days ago:
are you not even putting salt and pepper on it?
Cause thats the most barebones way to eat it… Its okay just by itself, but it really needs at least salt and pepper, if its not part of a larger recipe or something.
- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 1 week ago:
and every forum had rules against bumping, typically only once in 24 hours, and only like once or twice. It was never a problem, much less as egregious as you try to paint it to be.
and I’d still take that any day, over the toxic miasma of gamification, advertising, and multibillionaire control we have now.
Honestly, I dont know how anyone can say that the days before gamification, before adpocalypse, before billionaire hijacking of the internet for their own personal ends, is worse than what we have today. It borders on either lunacy, or propaganda.
- Comment on How did internet viruses spread before the internet was invented! 1 week ago:
You would get a floppy disk that had a virus buried in it in addition to the game/software.
It’d infect your computer, then embed itself on every floppy you’d make, some of which you’d inevitably trade with friends or whatever, thus infecting all their systems, so all floppies they’d write were infected, and they’d eventually trade with others, and so on and so on and so on.

I am one of the few people, it seems, that can not for the life of me remember my ICQ number… but I was there, using it.
Anyone remember Trillian? Having your Yahoo, AIM, ICQ, Messenger, etc all in one program…
- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 1 week ago:
upvotes and gamification of human interaction ruined the internet and are directly responsible for the extremity of discourse today.
The internet was so much better before that shit.
Which is also the era before social media, because as far as I’m aware, social media introduced those addiction driven gamification mechanism for what should be, by now, clearly obvious reasons to even the most thick skulled individuals.
- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 1 week ago:
Yep, and I wager the steam machine is probably going to be, at minimum, 50% more expensive than valve planned it to be, which more than likely will kill it on arrival as far as price/performance goes.
Will there be die hards who buy it no matter the price? yeah… but i wager it’ll see a fraction of sales that the deck did, due to ram and storage price bullshit thanks to AI fucking everything up.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 2 weeks ago:
he’ll be swept up by ice for existing, spend 3 weeks in a Totally-Not-Concentration-Camp™ before being deported via airdrop to somewhere in the middle of the Sahara, to far from towns and travel routes to get help before dying of exposure.

- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 5 weeks ago:
Would the United States?
No.
Would Trump?
I don’t think theres a single thing that Trump wouldnt do, he is such a infantile, reactionary, egomaniacable manbaby that I can see him doing literally anything, if it makes him feel powerful or if he thinks it’d give him some kind of edge/opportunity.
- Comment on Trump audibly loses control of his bowels during a press conference - via Forbes Breaking News 5 weeks ago:
Didnt the recent epstein dump reveal he shits himself because he got stabbed in the ass by one of his epstein victims or something?
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 month ago:
I’m not being reductive.
You’re just being an ass.
This is the equivalent to someone asking what color is the sky. Someone saying its blue, then you coming in spending hours flailing your arms desperately screaming “THE SKY ISNT BLUE, IT ONLY APPEARS THAT WAY DUE TO THE COMPLEX NATURE OF THE INTERACTION OF SOLAR LIGHT ON THE MOLECULAR COMPOSITION OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE TO MAKE IT APPEAR BLUE”, Then getting big mad when someone goes “So its blue then, thanks”
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 month ago:
So yes, LEDs are hot.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 month ago:
Literally all I said is large LED arrays get hot. I did not say that there is nothing hotter in the world than LEDs. I didnt say LEDs were the only source of heat in the universe. I said nothing, but that LED arrays don’t run cold as the original commenter thought.
You’re the one thats spent this entire time trying to “Well ackshually…” and wring your hands in desperate argument to prove a point that no one was making or even talking about.
And you want to call me an idiot for it.

Try so hard to desperately disprove my point, and you fail so catastrophically that you fall into the low hanging trap that is my username.
Congrats for playing yourself.

LEDs are not hot
Someones never accidentally touched an LED array.
I can guarantee you an LED array as big as the sun would generate enormous amounts of heat.and would need massive amounts of cooling.
- Comment on Seems like Trump waited for winter to escalate his ICE agenda but why did he go after Minnesota? People who are completely acclimated to frigid weather. 1 month ago:
Hes not totally ignoring the red states.
Every red state has a few blue spots in them, and trust me, hes doing to those blue spots what hes doing to minnesota.
- Comment on Bees 1 month ago:
Bees are only venomous if they sting you.
But if you are eating delicious bee snacks out of a stolen purse, you’d need them to be poisoned to hurt the thief.

“we’d rather amputate that entire source of revenue than pay workers fairly”
Oh come now, Its not just about money.
Its about making sure frat boy culture of sexual harassment and assault continue unabated.

mmhmm.
Once you get above a certain value in your bank account, laws stop applying to you unless you do something catastrophically stupid as to threaten the whole scheme, then you’re hung out as a sacrificial lamb to protect the others.
I guarantee epsteins cartel never died. its headquarters just moved, and the leader changed. thats all.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 2 months ago:
Completely offtopic, but just saying Pollyanna causes me emotional turmoil thanks to the Earthbound Tribute for the 20th anniversary… 11 years ago, which means Earthbounds now 31 years old. .
Which…Combining the tribute, with the fact its 11 years old, just critically hits me for psychic and emotional damage.

Yeah, but everytime a company gets sold, they always say a bunch of shit that always ends up being lies.

oh absolutely.
The mods on imgur have always punished based on their personal beliefs and fetishes, not on the rules.

Punching nazi’s is always the correct, right, and moral choice and action.
