Not particularly.
There was so much to deal with back then. So many different rule sets to follow, so many differences in each community, so many sign-up and on-boarding processes for posting or contributing each.
I miss the internet itself from that time period, and I realize that there is a certain community feel that is missing due to how congregated the current internet is, but I still don’t really miss forums specifically all that much.
My wife begged to go to family gatherings the first year we were together even though I told her exactly what they were like and insisted I would rather do anything else.
It only took one holiday season for her to understand, and we no longer have to tolerate this.
It might be, but it was posted a couple of days ago as well apparently.
It’s not entirely surprising. This administration has some of the worst representation that I have ever seen.
The vast majority of their victories in the courts have been due to corruption.
This is just what I’ve heard, but apparently 67 comes from a rap song called Doot Doot by Skrilla. The 67 is a reference to the 10-67 police code for a report of death.
Allegedly. I doubt the kids are saying it for any reason though.
Thought I was in the boring dystopia community instead. I suppose I’ll just continue to hope that this is too impractical to happen or that those responsible aren’t competent enough to make it happen.
Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We’ve already taken so much from them as it is.
I thought about making a bluesky account, but it doesn’t entirely feel all that safe when conservatives are freely posting their misinformation over there too without any pushback.
You don’t need to cheat when the bar association decides to be lazy and use AI to write the exam itself.
Where else are people going besides here?
World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That’s really where it starts for a lot of people.
The American Civil War is mostly where you’ll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There’s a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it’s impact on the course of the war.
Falklands? I want to assume that if you’re British then you’d like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.
French and Indian War? I’d just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you’re currently living in the area that it occurred.
Reminds of during covid when people were photoshopping their cats faces onto bees. It was my favorite trend.
Never letting go of it.
They control the voting machines now. As if we’re ever getting another chance.
It’s not so black and white. It really depends. There needs to be communication between both parties.
It’s perfectly fine if one person says, “I can’t do this. I can’t go through with this.” Asking someone to stay by you until you die, or to carry the burden of your disability or sickness is a lot. If there’s a conversation held about it and one person wants out then it’s fine.
One person simply leaving the moment it’s announced is a bit much though, especially if they decide to come back. As someone else said, it’s called having tact.
No contact. I tried. I tried so hard to point out the wrongs committed by the regime that I thought that they would disagree with, but MAGAs just bend reality around it all.
It’s painful, given that most of us don’t do this out of a sense of right or wrong, but because we care. You get used to it eventually though.
I can’t tell if he’s enjoying himself or not.
I always find it funny when you have couples dressing up for Halloween and you can tell who came up with the idea. One person will be really, really into it, and the other is just there for the ride.
It’s been threatened before. I just wish it would happen already. Surely there have been enough complaints about this woman at this point.
She fits every piece of criteria for disbarment too, not that we care about half of it of the most time, but it’s rare that you have someone who is this awful in every regard.
