I can understand that and when I have one of those moments I can feel the pain wash away as well. In the weekends I sat outside in the sun with the cats and a beer and it was easy to forget all the woes and ills in the world.

The problem I think is the geographic location of the farmers. If a farmer is in a 100% white rural town then they can forget about global events and be happy, if they are in a rural town that is rapidly becoming brown or in a city then they are more likely to be miserable. If every time you go outside to relax you hear some Dindu rap music then you won't enjoy yourself much.

Wales doing kind of well, same-ish with Cumbria/Pennines. But I guess that'll change with the treasonous governments in the coming years.

Tax: Does anyone like thematic lights on rooms? As in red light, green light, blue light, etc? Not to be romantic or whatever, but just for an occasion.

Red is associated with murder/porn. Green reminds me of weed shops. Blue burns out your eyes at night. Purple belongs to teenagers, tranny youtubers or in specialized greenhouses. In summary, don't do it.

Right, it's concerning mostly with the effects on the eyes.

I wasn't considering this too seriously, but still - I appreciate a second opinion.
 
I think I've said this before, but I'd personally recommend removing the world (and number/character sequence) filters, due to my conservative interpretation of the CDA/precedent. Like 8) for example.

Some mysterious purple stain with a scent like laundry detergent somehow got in one of my grocery bags where a bag of bread had some of the ink for the label come off (ink which was not purple BTW), and then that bread got a hint of that odd scent in the taste. Even if it was not stained with that mysterious unidentified purple BS substance.

I was messing around on an AI generated image website (not gonna tell you which, cuz I'm being cheeky) and I put in a simple prompt: "If [cruise line] was a person..." Would you like to see the results...?

thinking about a football team

Name it The Grinch. Plural grinches doesnt sound cool. I don’t care what town its from, its cool as shit.

The Burbank Grinch. The Lawrence Grinch. The Detroit Grinch.

The Green Menace, camouflaged on the field. One team collectively known as a verdant, mmaladjusted, unstoppable entity.

I've only been lurking regularly since 2019, but the forum does seem much more jaded and negative to me than before. It feels a bit like 4chan with very palpable nihilism and hopelessness like @Forsaken Wanderer had just demonstrated. Even terrible, politically-charged events like the Summer of Love, January 6th and the Covid lockdowns were discussed much more lightly and with less serious vitriol than is common in threads nowadays. Similarly, the Unicorn ranch and Fedsmoker threads were jolly good fun while Sterling and Philosophy Tube trooning out was just funny rather than crying about troons destroying everything good in society. The fun isn't all gone though as the Catler saga was recent and just plainly ridiculous.

Mind you, I might just be seeking out the edgy content more often nowadays which paints the site in a bad light for me. Still, I just can't escape the feeling that the userbase is getting weirder in a bad way with just plainly miserable people destroying the vibes. There's a general feeling of embracing negativity rather than laughing at it.

Edit: Expanded on my examples of nice threads from the past.

Honestly man, it's often just way too much of a bummer for me to want to visit this website outside of here and there. I had a lot of fun way back when it was some GamerGate edgelord washups who did schoolyard gossip on obscuro internet crazies who e-begged so that they could buy crypto or something like that. Now it's like strolling into Stormfront. You have all this politically charged nonsense which is espoused, half-baked, by arm chair philosophers who seem to have more to say than they have really, actually, truly thought about. It's dry, boring, and ridiculous.
