i feel like counter-trolling is an essential skill that kids online aren’t learning and it’s kinda worrying

like back in my day, the day of online forums, learning how to trick someone in to getting themselves banned was an essential skill. if you could tell someone was a chud, you would ask them short, leading questions and watch them get frustrated and post longer and longer rants until they said something that would catch a mod’s attention and get them banned and/or at least publicly humiliated. 

and guess what? that’s the exact same tactics the alt-right use now. these people are exclusively acting in bad faith. every interaction these people post online is done with the intention of getting someone to respond to them so they can screenshot the massive paragraphs of text and laugh

so, what’s the solution?

dare ‘em to post dick pics.

don’t acknowledge the content of the stuff they post. if you see someone trying to engage you in bad faith just dare them to post pictures of their penis until they either get frustrated and leave or get frustrated and do it. either way they lose. 

this is the tactic used by the fans of a podcast (that i haven’t listened to) called the Chapo Trap House, and 4chan’s /pol/ users fucking HATE them. they hate Chapo Trap House and think they’re crazy because Chapo Trap House fans refuse to engage in meaningful debate and repeatedly demand dick pics. they get frustrated and leave. it works.

If you dare come at me about banning straws, I will throw you into the sun cannon. I’m disabled, I’m crippled, I need disposable plastic straws, and all those pricey ridiculous alternatives aren’t working as well. Plastic straws were invented for the disabled.

Way to shit all over a vital access need because you think straws are worse than corporate greed.

We all care about the turtles, the seals, the oceans, obviously. Notice how the easiest thing to yell about was something that would barely affect anything but appealed heavily to emotional discourse.

The disabled community is huge, and it can be joined by anyone. Most of those As Seen On TV products were invented for us. Society still mocks us and ignores us, and often outright harms us in multiple ways.

Communicate better. Listen better. But stop putting us out in the cold because you are inconvenienced by our simplest needs.

#one video of a turtle went viral and now I feel relief at the seeing plastic straws #it’s biodegradable! #its bio degrading in my drink Barbra!

I hate the “open floor plan” that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I don’t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

#allegedly this trend happened because home renovation shows needed to appeal to men #and destroying stuff was the easiest and most cost effective way to do it

You were the caretaker for the mythical beasts of the royal family. Yesterday they decided to replace you with some incompetent noble, before kicking you out of the castle. You then spent the night in a nearby forest. However today you were awakened by the beasts who chose to follow you.

It’s probably confirmation bias thinking that Boeing’s aircraft are falling out the sky all the time, but it sure feels like they are.

#oh no they are! #they had a merger about 20 years ago with a company known for cutting corners #it all happening at once is almost like when ppl’s phones start bugging out after the warranty is up

Du Drow on Mystic Carrion: To fuck or Not to Fuck?

I love how if you read his journal, he talks about needing to satiate his sexual desires. But that mummy gets around! Can't imagine he'd smell great, but the curiosity is killing me! Mummy Fucker Drow?! Mummy fucker Drow?!

Listen here you perverts he may might enjoy the fine scent of roadkill skidmarks that've been cooking on asphalt for six hours like one enjoys a magazine's scratch-and-sniff but that doesn't mean he would fuck the dead fox. I dont know if Mister Mystic has ever been hot but unless we call a historic reconstructionist into the scene It will remain a mystery because he's much, much past his expiration date. Du drow already hit the jackpot by finding the prettiest guy in Faerun who also just so happens to smell like the kind of soap they make in jail, he can stop grave-shopping now.

I love when fiction makes the audience feel guilty about their role as the audience. When something fucked up is treated as a joke but later it's recognised how fucked up it was and the audience feels guilty for finding it funny. When a character breaks the fourth wall to plead for help, and you can't do anything so you just watch. And you know that the characters pain isn't real, but they're begging for help and you're not helping because their suffering is entertainment for you

#spec ops: the line #< prev tags #i've never played it #military shooters bore me in regards to game play and i do get nauseous #but I'd watched a playthrough and it actually had something to say #which I respect #it's been delisted from all digital storefronts due to licensing issues #most likely the music

The fact that BioWare never let us romance a single krogan, especially fucking Drack, makes me so, so, so mad

#i know very little about mass effect #like my knowledge is tangential and i know the ending of the trilogy pissed people off #but a bit of googling and yeah! bioware #why can't players bone the space orcs
