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.
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.
Was just updated on the treasury site to $38,008,137,064,951.61. How shocking.
Reminds of during covid when people were photoshopping their cats faces onto bees. It was my favorite trend.
She wouldn’t even have to grift. Her family is somewhat wealthy if I remember correctly.
I used to be rather skeptical about her, but she has more than earned my respect time and time again.
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.
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.
SL was too complicated when I was a kid. Might be different now, but a lot of us went onto IMVU instead. It originally had no separation for over and under 18 accounts, but even after they added it you had both kids and adults blatantly intermingling anyways. You couldn’t search up over 18 rooms as under 18 or search under 18 rooms as over 18, but people could still invite and chat.
Nothing quite like being 15 and hanging out with your friends until one of them invites their mid-twenties boyfriend to the chat.
That’s what a lot of us are waiting for unfortunately.
The Trump regime has been moving very quickly to consolidate power, and they didn’t even have a casus belli. Now they have one. In the conservative mind Charlie Kirk has become a martyr who must be avenged.
It’s not as uncommon as you’d think. People are relying on their parents more than ever, and parents who are willing to help are using this as an opportunity to provide help with strings attached.
Ah, turns out that all genies use the same code as nuclear gandhi.
I’m more surprised it took them this long to realize that they can just do this and his cult will believe it.
Not sure if they’ll even list anyone that’s actually guilty, regardless of party loyalties. This is just an assumption, but I assume that some of these people visited the island at the same time as the others. In that case outing even a single individual could lead to them inevitably naming and shaming others that have been too. They wouldn’t risk that.
Sorry if that came off the wrong way. I more so meant it to point out what I intended in case there was a misunderstanding.
None of this is what I am discussing. I’m talking about the people in the thread who are saying that these people deserved this.
I don’t quite understand the outrage in the thread. I’ve been looking through the comments, trying to see if this ever went beyond gossip and I can’t find anything.
From my understanding the app was intended to be a safe space for women to discuss dating. Relaying information about dangerous individuals, or people who cheat. I can imagine that things might have gotten slightly out of hand in regards to anonymous gossip, but is that anything compared to being doxxed? Besides, women, and men have been gossiping behind each others backs for as long as humans have existed. An anonymous app makes it significantly worse certainly, but it is what it is. This behavior is always going to exist for better or for worse. For example, people already discuss this on sites like fetlife since the risk of ending up with someone who wants to batter you for the sake of battering you is somewhat high there.
Surely we can have some sympathy for people who have had their identifications doxxed by 4chan who haven’t done anything worse than a bit of toxic gossip at most?
I still wear dark clothing outside of work, but I’m too old to be digging out the makeup these days. People really don’t respect the time it takes, especially if you can’t wear it in a professional environment.
I do this quite often with my void. He loves to stretch himself out and take two thirds of my desk chair. I just deal with it by taking up the remaining space and sharing it with him.
