@coolboymew @djsumdog @Terry @thestrongest I think the apolitical worked well because their weren't any centralized hubs for discussion. If you wanted to talk about politics, you talk about them in whatever politics forum/newsgroup/chatroom there was. Now, everyone is using sites like Facebook and Twitter to talk about politics which bleeds into conversations about other stuff and when the owners of those sites start banning certain ideologies, the diasporas are just hiveminds for said ideologies.

We need to bring independent sites and forums that ban political discussions and have forums dedicated to them.

@thestrongest @Terry Yea, the diasporas that leave Twitter/FB/Insta for Voat/Gab/Parlor are all .. well diasporas .. creates a monoculture. But I think the other holds true too ... Reddit and Twitter are leaing very hard-left these days. I think social networks will split on bias lines just like newspapers.

@xianc78 @comfy Shitposter.club got hit merely because of some fucking TLOU2 memes, Naughty Dog and Sony are the worst.

@matrix You seem to be the only one still excited for this. The game looks like is going to be a disaster.

Ok, so both times were English teacher, aka second language teacher (Remember, I live in a French place)

Most of the teachers I've had were rather chill and the English teachers knew to leave me the fuck alone as I was way way way above the curriculum and I just kept to myself mostly

At some point we got a replacement English teacher, what a bitch, jesus. Kept being on my ass because me and my friends talked often and never listened to her class. At some point she had a surprise test and sent a snarky comment to me ... most of the class failed the test miserably, I got 95%, the look on her face was golden

Second little bitch was in college. Fuck this. Here, called "Cégep", you have obligatory classes, 2 second language, 4 french, 3? philosophy, 3 gym class (yes, really) and 2 complementary. The issue comes that when a teacher takes themselves way too fucking seriously. It's like dude, you're nothing but an unwanted fuck the way of getting my chosen field diploma

Anyways, the class in college was RIDICULOUSLY easy, I passed it with even less effort than I did in high school, it was this inconsequential. I slept in his class once and he started being a bitch to me, kept asking me questions when I wasn't paying attention (massive ADHD here btw) and the likes, it was dead clear that I had no interest in his class. At some point I started skipping the latter half of the class because each class had a small test at the beginning and I didn't want to miss Avatar the Last Airbender (lol, yes, really) and it was like the last class on friday, so fuck that

That also meant that I missed what I needed to read for the quick beginning of class test. So I would come into class, he would do his little bitch asking me if I read the shitty test, no I fucking didn't and ... It was 3 fucking paragraph I had to read for a 10 mins test comprehension test. It was an absolute fucking joke. I am currently writing more than there was to read in that goddamn test. By that time, I was writing and reading shit like this on the Internet for years already. And of course, and his smartass smirk went away when he saw that I kept getting perfect and nearly perfect marks in every single one of his test... So I just kept with the disrespect of leaving half way through the class, including the the last class after the exam where he was doing a class thing, so I had to do the final disrespect of leaving and giving no shit at him attempting to call me out for it

What a fucking bitch, you're not important dude. Could avoided all this shit if he just left me to my devices, but nooooo, he just had to didn't he? And he didn't fucking win

@rasterman @emilis @ArdanianRight @TheMadPirate @leyonhjelm @promethea The smell can be bad enough to stink an entire room. Imagine being forced to sit next to one at the bus and being able smell it.

@ChristiJunior @comfy It also wouldn't surprise me if they also used those DMCAs because they hate those types of sites. I remember hearing about companies thinking they could take 8chan down by DMCAing content they own the rights to.

@TheMadPirate @emilis @ArdanianRight @leyonhjelm @rasterman @promethea I'd imagine it would be painful to put on since you're basically putting chemicals into an open wound.

@ChristiJunior @comfy The people who try to suppress the leaks are even worse. Sony went ballistic with DMCAs for TLoU2 leaks. Not even obscure sites were safe. Some even had to temporarily shutdown until all of the DMCAd content was removed.

@comfy That dumbass hacked into Nintendo's servers using his bare IP.

Politicians keep getting caught breaking their own stay at home orders. I'm getting the impression they think the rules don't apply to them.

@comfy Most leakers are pieces of shit, with some honorable exceptions, like the absolute madman who exposed The Last of Us 2 being such horrific garbage.

@landedking@liberdon.com There's been a huge attack on anime porn (especially loli) on the Internet lately, including supposedly free speech sites like Gab. The Fedi seems to be the only viable place for it.

@feral_apothecary I keep on hearing that most Tor nodes are owned by the government. I think I2P might be a better option.

Gaming Whitepill of the day - Okami is actually now a successful game:

https://nintendoeverything.com/okami-hd-sales-numbers-revealed-switch-version-sold-more-than-any-other-platform/

Okami HD has sold more than 2 million in total, pretty amazing after the original Okami sold pretty poorly on the PS2 and later on the Wii, two of the most successful home consoles out there. But I guess many years of great word of mouth combined with excellent current gen availability eventually proved effective.
