The problem with attempting to run a serious social media instance is that social media needs new content all the time or nobody will really ever check it… however, there is often not nearly enough good, serious, content to support it long term.

So you get progressively worse memes.

Some time ago, concerned with toxicity on their World of Warcraft forums, Blizzard Entertainment decided to implement a “RealID” system which would attach the customer’s real name from their records to their forum post. In a sort of “self immolation” protest to show Blizzard how absolutely terrible the idea was, myself and a few others posted our own names willingly before the new system was implemented. It was predictably bad as you might imagine and the plans were scrapped entirely.

Thanks for buying into our plans, but it seems we won’t actually be capable of delivering what we promised you. We will still be expecting you to deliver what we want from you, of course.

Well sure MS-13 may be a brutal trafficking gang known for extreme violence, but they haven’t done anything to ME yet.

they haven’t done anything yet

Could it perhaps be specific models that are no longer manufactured? I was checking out the price I could expect for one of my old PSUs and found that it was apparently a particularly well liked unit for some reason, and so it’s used price was a fair bit higher than expected.

They “trust me,” dumb fucks

If I remember correctly, wasn’t Bitcoin originally created for trading Magic: The Gathering cards online?

Anybody remember how cryptocurrency was supposed to democratize money or something?

Smokescreen to get people who don’t really understand computers to buy into a system which can be easily controlled by those who produce/own the physical devices involved, while hiding their tracks near perfectly.

I suppose any measures at all would cut out a massive number of spam pages already.

Yea, we need to fight to make sure that the state-industrial complex tracking our every movement is focused on punishing OUR so-called enemies, as defined by a small handful of Internet based social clubs (controlled and operated by people we know next to nothing about).

The thing that gets me about the Tomb Raider reboot is they toned down the sex appeal, but apparently graphically brutalizing Lara is perfectly okay.

Sexy Lara: Sexist!

Beating the ever loving shit out of Lara: Not sexist!
