High school girlfriend. I used her for sex. We knew each other from like early grade school and I always had a crush on her, very physically attracted to her.

I took a leap of faith and asked her out, and she said yes.

Turns out, we weren’t really compatible, but we were both horny teens with limited supervision. Did not take long at all for us to start experimenting. Eventually, her parents found out we were boinking and split us up, but I realized at the time that I was not heartbroken or sad, I was just disappointed that I wouldn’t get to have sex with her anymore, and it was a big wake up moment for me.

I was wrong, of course. We did have sex a few more times once we both became adults, and we both kind of acknowledged that the other person was just a convenient fuck buddy and that we had nothing else in common. I eventually had to break it off with her when I started getting serious with another girl.

I feel like I’ve matured a lot since then.

Put it on polymarket or something, I want to make some money off of such stupidity.

It obviously doesn’t, and people do lie in court all the time in both fiction and reality. The bible, or whatever they happen to use as a stand-in, is just ceremonial for the oath of sworn testimony. The real threat that keeps people from lying is not hellfire and damnation, it’s perjury.

As evidenced by the dozens of times Trump’s star was vandalized, no matter how you deface or destroy it, they’ll just replace it with a new one.

I don’t think there’s any way to get it removed officially other than petitioning the people who manage the walk of fame, and they are all in the same club that the folks who have stars on the sidewalk are in.

It does get tiresome going to steam threads and seeing the same copy pasted “don’t ruin the game with woke shit” post up voted to the top.

There’s a pencil thin line between farming clown emoji and overt bigotry getting pumped to the top of the reviews section by bad faith actors.

If they go through with it, flood their tip line with calls about Melania and Elon.

So they haven’t walked anything back, they’re just adding in a motherfucking clanker as a middleman. What could go wrong?

Big corporations have absolutely laid waste to the internet. There’s nothing left unspoiled at this point.

Im surprised as how many people discount this feature. Sometimes I sit in voice chat in my small Discord server alone for hours because nobody would show up if nobody was around.

We’re all adults with jobs and responsibilities and shit, we don’t want to have to dial people in to shoot the shit late at night. That would feel like a chore.

An alternative with no drop in voice chat is a non starter for my group.

I think it’s great that acting like a cunt online can have consequences.

It doesn’t seem to have deterred you at all…

I use Slack for work and I kinda hate it. I can’t really explain why. Something about it offends my senses on a subconscious level.

I haven’t used it in over a decade so I’m not surprised it has new features. Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

I think Discord does a lot of things that no one other program can also do. There are certainly better programs out there for voice chat, for text chat, for screen sharing, etc. but none of those programs that do it better can do all the other stuff.

If Discord dies, you would need like two or three other apps to replace all of the features you’ve lost.

For people who only use Discord for voice, it’s easy to say “Let’s just got back to using TeamSpeak or Ventrillo”, but if you also used Discord to stream your games to your friends, you now need to find another alternative for that since TS and Vent don’t have that function and likely never will.

It sucks because I think the Discord app is great for what it does. Yes, it creates information silos when everybody uses it for their support/documentation, but before Discord it was Facebook/Twitter and I didn’t use those platforms either. I like that Discord is packed with features and the most basic ones are free to use. Finding an alternative will be tough.

Guilded is dead. Their website redirects to a thank-you page of some sort. I remember trying it out ages ago and I thought it was pretty decent competition for Discord and had a lot of the same features, but ultimately it would have been susceptible to the same kind of fuckery that Discord is giving us right now. These private companies only want to extract value out of their users.

The key revelation here is that this was after his conviction. They knew what this dude was about and still showed up to a dinner party.

Musk and Zuck wanted to fuck kids.

The time to be concerned about the direction of the political system was November of 2024.

It’s quite literally too late to do anything about it now. If Trump wants to cancel elections, there will be much hand-wringing and finger-waggling while congress debates about the legality of such a thing in a committee to no avail and the courts slow-walk any kind of injunction that would preemptively prevent them from doing it before it actually mattered.

Why should any of us be surprised that the guy who tried to subvert democracy once before is brazenly and openly stating his desire to do so again? This result was so utterly predictable that I feel secondhand embarrassment for anybody just now getting anxious about the political system.

According to the bootlicking chodes I’ve argued with recently, just existing anywhere near ICE performing their kidnapping operations is obstruction.

Apparently getting shot in the back 10 times is excusable if you were somehow preventing ICE from disappearing people by standing on a public sidewalk. It’s total psychopath abuser mentality.

And then you have to do the dishes too, of which you would need multiple if you are adding in all the same ingredients as taco bell menu items and getting it done in 10 minutes.

It’s okay though because Zuck greased the Trump admin’s palms with his Presidential Library bribe, so they’ll get a slap on the wrist at best.

Literally anything but FOSS, huh?

Out of the frying pan and into a cold frying pan.

To basically anywhere that will take them.

If we’re taking consideration of the lessons we learned from history, when Nazi Germany ran out of other countries to send their undesirables, the death camps were constructed.

So… what happens when other countries get tired of accepting thousands of U.S. deportees?
