Fwiw, that's about the rough estimate of their members who are registered voters.

I frequented Something Awful Forums and Television Without Pity between 2000-08 and it's interesting to see the contrast on the type of users that posted there.

While SA was into a lot of racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic humor (that admittedly I found funny), TWoP's "woke" (I mean that in a good way) outlook confused me at the time. Nowadays, TWoP is how the internet (well, mostly) conduct themselves and SA adopted that too over the years. I too find my SA antics (that I carried over to other forums and social media) shameful.

That said, it's no surprise that when the more recent Lowtax fiascos happened, he never received any sympathy from the forums and they quickly moved to oust him. Compared to when the first instances of his bad behavior bubbled up the surface (how his engagement with Emily ended) from 2002 wherein he got plenty of support. He even wrote a lengthy piece about it despite proclaiming his hatred for what he calls E/N.

I tend to mythologize bands I like, particularly as a teenager during those points. I'd even make websites for them if they're a little underrated and I liked them enough. Had Lostprophets continued to make great albums (reminiscent of their debut), I probably would have gone that route.

I loved "thefakesoundofprogress". It was different than conventional nu-metal bands in that it leaned more towards post-hardcore/emo.

Fortunately they kind of disappeared for a bit and resurfaced sounding like the shitty version of OneD. I didn't have to feel guilty listening to a band fronted by Peter Scully Jr.

What separates Lemmy and Reddit is that you don't have to overthink what you post, lol. I can just say what I want and not worry about adding receipts to whatever I say, whether I got my facts right, or do I come off bad. If edits need to be made, you can go back later in the day when you're free because no one would be reading it until after a week anyway LMAO. I believe there are also logs that allow others to check what you edited. So while commenting here interrupts work, it doesn't take more than a few minutes to do unlike in Reddit when it would literally take half an hour or so.

I still use Reddit daily for browsing non-PH news and happenings, but I completely stopped posting. Every once in a while I'll try to comment something but delete it immediately after. I realized that replying and posting ate up a huge chunk of my time and often derail my momentum when working, so I don't really miss it. But at the same time, posting my thoughts is an outlet and it's also nice to revisit to see where my headspace was at a particular point. As an alternative, I just post it on my FB feed and set it to "Only Me".

It doesn't help that r/PH is a shit-show echo chamber now, mostly because of the users. Nakaka-turnoff yung mga matapobre, antinatalists, eugenicists, and low-effort threads. I haven't been there for a week pero pustahan mga posts diyan tungkol na naman sa pinipilit sila magperform sa Christmas Party tapos pag malapit na bagong taon sasabihin nila ang lakas lakas magpatunog ng tambutso hulugan naman daw yung motor. They're seriously just as bad as the bastards on FB's comment sections.

That said, I'm happy it all played out the way it did. I was able to get UndustFixation started, able to finish some of my PS5 backlogs, go out of the country for the first time since 2012, and I'm bonding with my daughter now through our shared interest in blind boxes (she got me into it actually lol).

If you have any VHS or betamax tapes you would like to donate or sell, please reach out to me at [email protected].

I can also provide watermark-free copies of videos if you work for a TV network (and need it for a news piece) or can prove that you modeled or appeared in a commercial. Please take note I'm not a dummy and it's entirely at my discretion if I find the request authentic or not. For this, you can email me at [email protected].

Any other requests, sorry but no.

I think you're just focusing on the pooping cycle. The part where the parasite possesses the snail and creates this elaborate display with the eyes to draw its real intended host/target is what's fascinating.

I saw this in Midsommar. Thankfully it wasn't too explicit in showing it.

He was also the cornerman of Kimo, the guy clearly seen in the prefight trying to get into it with the Gracies. Dude had bad news written all over him.
