The General Thread

I've been noticing more and more that commercials set on beaches are having people dressed like they're at the country club in September instead of a beach. I just now saw one that featured a woman wearing a long green sleeve shirt and khaki pants while the man wore a blue polo shirt and khaki pants. Given they're both as white as ghosts I know this isn't some religious thing but it seems weird to set your commercial at the beach if people aren't going to wear beach clothes. I suppose it could be some other time of the year but given these are advertising summer deals, it seems like the people in advertising want to make sure no one gets any enjoyment out of their ads.

Sucks if that's a new thing. Unless someone's concern for putting them in anything skimpier these days for fear of unneeded backlash by SJW's.
 
I just deleted Dorkly off my browser history. I've gone there since around the time I joined the farms, and it used to be great. Dorkly Bits and their interpretations of classic characters were mostly funny, and I can't say I don't imagine Mario sounding like the Dorkly version. But over the last couple of years, their content has went downhill.

Finishing Pokemon Rusty was fine, but that stunk of desperation. Dorkly Bits are long gone, and instead they do readings of their articles. Then there's the times they just rip off stuff from Reddit or Tumblr to fill out their content. Then there's them going social justice, attacking people upset as pissbabies or whatever while straw-manning the complaints against The Last Jedi.

It used to be one of my favorite sites, but it's just not for me anymore. It generally feels like the current staff are all trying so hard to pass themselves off as geeks or nerds, like they're writers for the Big Bang Theory or something.

So I told my sister that her boyfriend has to get a job. She ignores this and starts talking about getting benefits. Fine. I don't think you are well enough to work right now anyway. But that doesn't change the fact that he needs to get a damn job!:mad:

I gotta go get a new ID and I don't know where the hell I'm going. I think that once I get there I will realise I know exactly where I am. But I haven't been to that area in over a decade and I am confused even with google maps.:\

I think I need to start taking random buses to familiarize myself with areas that aren't downtown or my old 'hood.

Dunno if you drive from your bus comment but I waste time driving around on the back country roads around here (and sometimes a couple towns over if I get off early) after my night shifts to a) decompress and b) familiarize myself with a wider area then I usually drive. If that doesnt apply to you then disregard, I'm at work and bored and need something to talk about to fill my time.

In other news, I get to play my favorite game: I don't know when I last took my fucking meds because I couldnt find them but theyre on their way to me but idk if they'll get here before I start feeling nauseaus. Nauseas? However the fuck you spell it.

Also one of the servers keeps sneaking up behind me and screaming my name because its slow.

Its only mildly irritating but I wish a party would come in so I could seat him.

Nvm basically everyone got cut since its retarded slow. So that's...good?

Edit: and as soon as I posted my meds arrived. Now fingers crossed -I- get cut after posting this edit lol.

Having read a fair few threads of random powerleveling themes here, your average KF user seems very.. High school'y.

Tons of people having dated furries/weebs/other kinds of exceptionals, lots of super vanilla sex experiences, most mentions of real life being super mundane in nature.

I mean you can be dull and live a great or otherwise respectable life, but it's really odd. I've never seen this kind of normie on a board before, let alone one documenting cows.

I had my first day of being an active Kiwi Farmer! I lurked for months before I finally got an account, and it's actually really fun to talk to you guys. With anxiety it's usually very hard for me to just get up and talk, but when one of the three guys I follow suddenly got featured (Clawshrimpy; I've been watching him for like, what, 60+ pages??), I just got really excited and wanted to contribute because I knew it'd be a long day.

I admit I do feel a little bad? Using language I wouldn't use otherwise around my friends and all, how hectic it was to screencap and post things in fear I'd miss it and Chris would delete it, not to mention the terrible news currently featured right now... I feel a little tired. But, not because of the board.

Frankly, I just feel at home here. Like, for once, I can say shit, and I'm not going to get told I'm wrong or someone will have an issue with me. It's refreshing. Thanks guys for the warm welcome today - it's honestly appreciated, and it makes me laugh at everyone who says this place is unreliable.

This.

This is the exact reason I stayed around - pretty much every other community or forum I've been to is such a liberal circlejerk that it's thoroughly unenjoyable unless you're part of that mega-tism. Over here, you'd have to say something pretty fucking dumb and over a period of time before action is taken (and even then, not in the spiteful way other forums do).
