I am slowly losing my mind over the shift towards video as the default media format.

I do not find this to be an efficient way to absorb information. I am bored and distracted by the time the largely unnecessary introduction is over. I can't use ctrl+f to find the specific information I'm looking for. If there are instructions to follow, I don't want to have to constantly pause and back up to the part I need.

At least give me a fucking transcript.

I can read faster than you can talk and these videos are wasting my time.

honestly sometimes stories where characters have self awareness and solve their problems maturely can be really refreshing sometimes. and sometimes it feels like therapyspeak slop. intense stories where no one is capable of understanding themselves and act out in incorrect ways can be very fun. and sometimes it feels like contrived bullshit. whatever makes "a good story" is harder to make happen than just using the right kind of characters using the right words

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful

It's free slug

What the media won't show

It’s actually pretty nuts how there is no real mass media coverage of the protests that are happening all over the US. It demonstrates fairly conclusively that the unlawful activities at the White House aren’t just limited to Trump. There’s a lot of wealthy people in powerful positions in the US and around the world helping to support the dismantling of the US federal government.

STOP USING ANTI OPEN COMMUNICATION LANGUAGE!

Sorry for traumadumping -> Go put this in your creep file about me

I am sorry, I'm just rambling -> I gave you so much material for the creep file

That's TMI -> Material for my creep file on you

Oh my god we need to bring back internet safety lessons in school because you should NOT be posting personal information and pictures of yourself as a "single teen" in a PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE GROUP!!! I do not care if their rules say "over 18 will be banned" you are making yourself a giant flashing target for predators!!!

This is how you get groomed, guys. I hate to be blunt, but getting groomed fucking sucks so I'd rather be blunt than have someone go through that. Don't go on "single teen" forums. Ever.

even if it wasn't intended that way this is basically a pedophile honeypot, Jesus

I get that people want to make more friends (and/or find partners). But this is not the way to do it. Safety first.

Massive fucking yikes. Keep your info private, kids.

DOOOONT tell people online that you're underage.

Don't do it. DOOOOON'T DO IT.

Especially not in this kind of context!!

Simple fact that anyone can lie about their ages on here or anywhere on the internet. It is never a good idea to give any information to anyone, and specifically in this case, if you are underage. That 15 year old that someone is talking to could be a 40 year old with nefarious intentions.

And as for the server, I don't think there is any way to verify if someone is actually the age they say. So, please, if you are underage and looking to join something like the above, be aware. Don't join servers / communities like this. Keep safe.

Some of these servers will attempt to "verify" ages by demanding GOVERNMENT IDENTIFICATION!

Which is even worse!! Giving your ID to an unknown, unofficial person?

Who has no way to verify if that even is your actual ID or a fake/stolen one????

yeah im the guy who designs all the booklets that come with cds. its my job to put all the lyrics in the most unreadable fucking font i can find and then shrink the text down as small as my computer will let me

Hey, were you trained by the guy who did the lyrics for cassette tapes? That guy didn’t even have a computer to make the font small and unreadable.

he's my ex lover

i hope everyone is ready to celebrate International Down With Cis day on April 4th.

happy ten years to the Down With Cis bus!

this is like going to art school and having your creativity ripped to shreds

#oh my god photoshop was a photo shop????

one week knowing the character VS 7 months being possessed by The Character thoughts (# 1 character fan)

thoughtful of discord to make 98% of their paid profile decorations completely unappealing so it’s easy not to want them
