Also your site doesn't allow me to upload TRUE and HONEST .wmv files. I am deeply offended.

I want you all to know the trouble I went through for this stupid fucking joke. I've had a copy of XP Movie Maker sitting on my backup hard drive for years probably, and I thought "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if I made a memorial to Josh in the style of those 2008 Movie Maker videos?". So I tried, but unsurprisingly it had compatibility issues and didn't work. I was about to give up when I thought "Hey, I also have a copy of a Windows XP iso I've just kept for the last 10 years, let's make a virtual machine so I can live out my autistic dream." But because Microsoft is run by jews, Windows 10 locks the creation of virtual machines in the BIOS. So I had to figure out how to unblock it, set up the virtual machine, install Windows XP, figure out how to share files between my PC and the virtual machine, and then... Finally... I could create a fucking Movie Maker video for the memes. Two hours well spent!

Leaks from the reddit powermod discord. One of the powermods says that Spez lied when he said Challenor had been fired and that it's possible that Challenor's still on staff.

0 dollars and 0 cents because mods can give awards to posts for free. They use this all the time to bump up (((approved posts))).
 
New leaks from jannies discord. Not gonna lie, this level of faggotry and smugness makes me angry.

Seems a reasonable response for a researcher when someone asks a basic question.

With imgur links, for whatever fuckign reason sometimes you gotta remove s from the https to get rid of the 403

Imgur is reddit-adjacent and operated by some of the same people (it used to be the semi-official image host for reddit until reddit rolled out its own shitty implementation). As such Kiwi Farms is persona non grata on both sites. Links to KF posted on reddit are automatically deleted site-wide by server-side software. Posts are literally edited as you post them (before they even hit the database) to excise links to KF. I'm pretty sure your account gets flagged for trying, too, and repeatedly trying to post KF links there will earn the banhammer pretty quickly.

Imgur similarly hates KF, and blocks requests with KF in the referrer header. So you can't click links to imgur posted here because they'll throw an error. You need to copy the URL and paste it into a new tab/window directly. Then they'll load fine. I'm seriously tempted to author a browser extension for the various browsers to allow selectively filtering out/removing the referrer header from requests made to websites with fragile admins to work around this stupid shit.

Edit: Welp, guess I don't need to write one. Somebody beat me to it:

Works like a champ! imgur links from KF work fine now.

This simple concept drives so much of modern online political discourse and so few people seem to realize it. I suppose that's what makes the humor last so long. It's why the anti-Trumpers were so fun to laugh at for five years straight and why Trump supporters are at least a little giggle-worthy now.

What I don't get about reddit is how people can take it so seriously. Like it's fucking reddit, yes its a site that millions use everyday and it can be a place for people to share and create ideas. It's a place for cultured discussion on art and atheism, it's a place for political discourse.

I don't know when it was but all of a sudden people using reddit started to take themselves far more seriously and then thought they were better than everyone else but now people want it to be balanced in their way. That's not fairness or objectivity its "I-want-my-own-way-ism". Fucking newsflash, that happens to every single site that has a membership and karma system.

It's a fucking image hosting site that got big and now people think it's some sort of higher power.

It's power, and people with pathetic existences in real life with no control over themselves suddenly getting an ounce of control on a site that millions of people use, and it instantly going to their head. Nevermind that the millions who browse reddit are equally shut in individuals, boomers, kids and teenagers, the soy-liberal crowd, and overall just some of the dullest people you would meet outside of maybe a few hobby subreddits. They have some power to moderate these unwashed masses, and it definitely gets to their head.

When I used to use the site near a decade ago, for very specific hobby subreddits, the site was somewhat fine. Over the past decade something did change and around the election of Trump these people's need for purging wrongthink just accelerated drastically. In subreddits that should have nothing to do with politics, you get political slants or interpretations of the subreddits main theme. I wouldn't be opposed to that in and of itself, but there's typically a slant to allow "how trans people are reinventing the sport of extreme underwater basket weaving" vs shutting down anything even vaguely counter to that. You even have the recent example of various subreddits having pro-lockdown propaganda plastered to the top of the subreddit.

History subreddits are an utter cancer, as with many religion or other social subreddits. Wasn't always necessarily the case, but queue my bemusement when the majority of these subreddits now have discords associated with them as well now, and its full of people who have very, very little subject matter knowledge on the subreddit they moderate, often very bad politicized opinions, and I just don't think seem to care or even have decent reasons to follow what it is that they do. There's numerous subreddit discords I've explored, where it turns out a mod got into history through playing command and conquer and larps as a communist, then bans all other dissent (good commitment to the larp, I guess, because that is ironically pretty communist). One subreddit, for Shinto, had a bunch of people who got into the religion due to playing the Okami game, spoke in completely broken Japanese, publicized politicized articles non-stop about how inclusive Shinto was and how there were Shinto shrines in Korea and the PNW, and had the most insane power complex with an automatic ragepit or banning for any sniff of dissent.

I would say Tumblr was worse. Reddit is about as reactive as magnesium in water, but Tumblr somehow appears as a powder keg to me.

Reddit has the creepy rapists that slide into anyone with a hint of being a female's DMs, weird groomer troonies, and too much child pornography. Tumblr was way too sex positive for comfort. There's breaking the shame of being sexually repressed and then there's too far. In the case of Tumblr, it was an open secret that <18s were engaging in erotic roleplay and viewing NSFW blogs. There were also a lot of "totally 18s" ruining roleplay groups. It didn't matter if the kid lied, and this caused a lot of drama. Outside of the roleplay drama, there's the people going way too obsessive over what characters looked like. Sure, you might get death threats for saying "maybe cops aren't bad" on Reddit, but on Tumblr... well... it was bad. If you drew a character too skinny or not dark enough, you would have the hate brigade in your mailbox and they wouldn't leave until they had your head on a pike. These fanatics were a different breed of crazy.

Everything you said here is sadly applicable for Tumblr as well and it is what led to normal people disassociating with the website and leaving behind the lunatics. I seriously wonder if the Reddit power trannies got bored of how not mainstream Tumblr was (lol) and set their sights on Reddit because it's pretty much mainstream. You just can't control what people say on the internet like you can on Reddit. If someone says something retarded on Twitter, you can mass report them and hope it works. On Tumblr, you could "only" harass someone into deleting their blog after angrily hammering up a smear campaign on your blog and putting in all the hashtags. On Reddit you can just censor someone directly.

Reddit basically turned into Tumblr, imo.

I don't think that Tumblr was ever really great and always had its own problems. Saying that, I did manage to meet some interesting people on the site.

What I remember from early Tumblr was that it used to be full of kids with suicidal ideation, teenagers cutting themselves, bad emo poetry, fanfictions, eating disorders, and a lot of pornography. This is before homestuck, and then at some point in maybe 2013 or 2014 more politics, trans stuff, and other current day issues started to take over the site's zeitgeist a lot more (they were lurking there prior, of course, but never so prominent). It was interesting to see Tumblr move from being full of edgy emo/goth kids to former emo/goth kids high on progressive politics, and then the site collapse.

There were some interesting art communities on the site, but it definitely got worse, and worse, and worse, and many artists I knew went from maybe posting something political once in a blue moon, to 2/5 posts having some political slant, to almost every post having to have some politicized message forced in and "this tumblr is trans oriented, if you cant deal with that, fuck off bigot".

I really don't understand the Aussie government. I have a mate with a cunt from Sidney, and she told me how Aussie land is anal about Rona, and yet they aren't anal about vaccinating the population.
 
So one of favorite hobbies is lurking around dumb internet communities, so let me present one of them: /r/Subliminal, a community of people who think that if you listen to noise with hidden positive messages you can manifest relationships, good luck, get better facial features, change eye color, and even "balance" hormones.

The entire subreddit is bonkers and I recommend everyone to lurk it but here's a demo:

My favorite subliminal is Become An Ant Fast! (Pre-Experience) Subliminals Frequencies Hypnosis, which promises "experience being an Ant for one day. You must be VERY consistent & persistent with listening so that this can come into fruition. You will wake up one day as an Ant and experience EVERYTHING there is to being an Ant(seeing, breathing, barking, everything etc.) You will become an Ant that matches your personality. Once you experience a full day you will wake up as your normal self the next day (it will almost feel like a dream but the experience will be very profound that you will know it was real) Once many people experience the Ant experience and would like to permanently become an Ant, we will create a formula to become one permanently. This will be a memorable experience for sure. Something you will always remember."

These magic noise youtube channels have ridiculous amount of views, so there's a lot of sad people who believe in this garbage.

Just because your autism triggered my autism: Windows has absolutely nothing to do with locking down your bios for virtualization, that would be retarded. It's a security feature to have it disabled by default after rootkits like BluePill were discovered. Also, Windows Essential 2012 (includes Movie Maker) is available here: https://archive.org/details/wlsetup-all_201802

Great video tho, RIP.

I just can't figure out the logic here - these are the people who think COVID-19 is such a dangerous problem that we need to suppress wrongthink about it, but then they also think any potential treatments should be immediately dismissed as quackery without even debating the relative merits.

What the hell is the goal? It's really as if they've totally jettisoned the (claimed) end of saving as many lives as possible. They now want the vaccine administered out of spite for the heterodox rather than any concern for human life.

I really don't get it.

No, they were just eternally cucked by the admins. Every other word had to be filtered, they couldn't link to other subreddits any more, reddit was pushing mods on them that they didn't want and there was getting to be a lot of community in-fighting as people filtered out of the sub leaving only the most hard-core, cliquish faggots. They're even more immature and retarded than previously thought possible.
