I'd come to that party.

What do you mean "again"? Name one period of history where people didn't spit on the floor, leave trash around or inconvenience other people.

If he wants a world where everything is clean and everyone behaves, that's not regression, that's progress, he'd be making it a reality for the first time. The fact that he thinks people used to behave better in the past is quintessential conservative nostalgia goggles.

I don't know, but Linux’s reputation is that it can probably be modded out.

Currently writing from a Mint laptop, works perfectly with minimal setup and no command line whatsoever, the only annoying thing is that the caps lock key behaves differently. Though Linux's reputation is that it can probably be modded out.

I also installed Diodon to recover the cool clipboard function that Windows has.

I could probably get the customizeable start menu, but i actually don't miss it that much

I mean it's a known fact that WASPs rule the media.

I upvoted them.

Human tails are kind of a thing and doctors do remove them. But it's not a glorious tiger tail or anything, it's like a stub, it's an outgrowth of the coccyx, which is literally a vestigial tail.

It got yeeyed from our vocabulary

I've never really been able to leave my zits alone, if i see one and don't pop it i can't stop thinking about it. So yeah i've been popping my zits into napkins since always and it's kinda fine, it wouldn' be fine if i got more though.

That's my skincare routine in its entirety.

You may not know that you're at the TOP of the leaderboard, but you probably have a pretty good idea that you drink a lot of tea.

Which is why this policy usually goes by maximum income or income cap

This is actually the saddest meme of all times.

 
 

I've been the main moderator of the same community since 2016. This evening, i approved my last comment.

I'm leaving for two reasons:

  1. Reddit went public a week ago. I didn’t volunteer to work for a publicly traded company, i volunteered to work for a community. As long as i live under capitalism i accept that my labor will generate value for shareholders, but damned if i ever do it for free. (this is not a Faulkner quote)

  2. April 1st is coming and i'm scared they might do another r/place. Doing in r/place 2022 and 2023 has left me dejected and bitter and i don't want to feel obligated to participate again.

Leaving felt like ripping myself off of something warm i've been comfortably glued to for a long time. Still recommend it for anyone still giving Reddit shareholders free labor


EDIT: there are too many comments to respond to, but i've appreciated all of them! Thank you

 

today i remembered an idea for a meme that i had years ago and forgot about, enjoy

 
 
 
 
 

Whenever a forum dies, a lot of answered questions are lost that would have been useful to people googling it in the future.

Reddit is like the mother of all forums, and it also has had a lot of internet history being made on it.

I really think we need a Reddit archive that is availabel for random people from Google. The best case scenario is that Reddit just limps on for years, therefore doing this conservation work better than anyone else could.

Almost always my movies even though i have tons of music, and always the most obscure shit. I have Disney movies and Breaking Bad, but people go for the auteur french sci-fi animated features.

Soulseek gives me much the same joy of sharing as torrent does, perhaps more so because it's one-on-one with a username instead of an IP.

It's very easy to contribute to Soulseek as opposed to torrent, you just mark your shared folders. I think there's probably more content as a result, at the cost of the inefficiency of multiple people offering the same thing. Which i'm not sure matters.

I don't know if the rooms are really worth it. You only get the messages starting when you logged in, so you can't catch up to what happened before; this problem is particularly relevant because most rooms are dead; those that aren't dead consist of a lot of vicious arguments; and it's live chat anyway, never my favorite format for discussion.

I prefer Soulseek to eMule just because it works, but i also found it simpler.

Unfortunately my VPN doesn't play well with Soulseek, apparently it doesn't support port forwarding? I'm not sure how to fix this. It may in fact have been a problem when torrenting too the whole time and i didn't notice.

Overall i really enjoy Soulseek and will probably always have it in the background, it's pretty great!

According to Wikipedia, the lastest version of eMule was released in 2010, but "official forum users" developed an updated version as of 2017.

Is this information up to date? Is that still true? I'd feel a lot better installing something on my computer that was last updated at least in this decade, which version of eMule should i pick, if any?

EDIT: i'm downloading this.

Thanks everyone!
