  • Tbf, “unalive” is only a thing because of TikTok, unless they’re pushing the same content to both platforms, when they have to go with the most restrictive version of their combined rules.

    And even then most of the problem is keeping it monetized, not necessarily the platforms during it down directly.

    But since videos are a career now, it’s a fairly effective ban on certain words.

    TikTok is way way waaaay too picky imo. Personally I don’t want anything censored at all, for any reason.

    Unless someone is going ham on a topic that’s triggers you into some PTSD situation, I don’t really think there’s a good argument for censorship to exist in any form at all.

    If some idiot is using language you don’t like you just stop listening to them and realize that when you’re scrolling through an non-curated source of content, you will hear idiots saying stupid shit.

    But the action taken on them shouldn’t be an effective gag, it should be just getting ignored. Once blocked and ignored enough, it’s basically a shadow ban. It wouldn’t be profitable for them to be offensive just for the sake of being offensive, but they shouldn’t be getting what basically amounts to fines just because they said someone "died"or got “killed”.

    That kinda shit is bonkers.






  • I just want a story where a pile of ICE bodies is discovered somewhere.

    I actively want to see a body pile of corpses, but of them.

    I might forgive certain kinds of ignorance (begrudgingly) if people snap out of it, but I will never forgive ICE members.

    We’re living through what will become Inglorious Bastards II.




  • Personally, that was the first I ever heard of him. Given my age and his complete irrelevance to anything I cared about (basically just computers and cartoons) at the time, I had no reason to.

    Honestly I still don’t know much about him, mostly because I don’t care. But everyone loves an epic fail story.




  • Haven’t really touched Mint myself, other than moving my dad’s computer to it. I don’t think it shows the user or device name over by the clock. Unless that XP skin adds it, I don’t think that’s it.

    Given the “Overcast” bit, maybe it shows a zip code for the weather or something?

    Again, I’m not settled on a particular distro yet for sure, but most of my experience is with PopOS so far, and there’s nothing identifying there, so I’m not positive.

    I’ve installed Mint on 2 family member PCs, but I haven’t used it myself other than in passing.



  • I’ve assumed the absolute worst of disposable ones since day zero. I will go back closer to neutral if I hear something convincing, but until then I think of them as literal poison.

    My previous comment was thinking more about whatever the non disposable ones are called. But since as far as I know the juices are similar and since nobody seems to know much about them, I assume the absolute worst until hearing something really good indicating otherwise. Personally, I will always treat them as literally drinking cancer.

    I mean I still judge smokers, and thereby vapers, but at the very least the vapers smell better. I had one roommate take it up to stop regular smoking (he never did it in our seemingly near) the house, and wasn’t a problem, but another roommate who didn’t smoke found out about the non nicotine version of it and thought it was cool for a bit, testing it as breathing flavored air. They both got a couple upgrades for their doodads, and the non smoker stopped later, but I haven’t talked to the other guy in a while to know if he ever stopped nicotine completely or continues to vape.




  • I use a dry vape for weed, and shit like this is why I hate using the word vape to describe it.

    To me, in my head at least, the word “vape” refers to (or connotes with) that chemical juice that comes in nicotine and non-nicotine varieties. I haven’t really followed it since it seems to be mostly a rebellious teen thing to me and I don’t know any teens anymore. But a former roommate of mine used it to cut down on his smoking (don’t talk to him often, so I don’t know if it ended up working).

    Anyway, I don’t know the current science of it, but to me that stuff is just cancer juice. At the very least, it smells a million percent better than cigs, but it just seems like the worst liquid ever, and having to use the same tainted word feelsbadman.
