Trusting that my guidance counselors would do their job. Not switching high schools because they didn't look very different.

My school refused to let me in more difficult classes I thought I needed for college even though I requested them, was recommended them by my grade school and even tested into them. I only found out recently that I test advance proficient, but they lied to me about when I was a student.

All because when I was in kindergarten, someone decided I had a reading disability.

Terrible idea. Hopefully it never catches on or we're all in deep shit.

I think that's what pushed me into absolute nihilistic depression. We CAN do something and we can do it right now, but we're choosing not to.

Modern internet users are such cowards, but will still manage to install a virus.

I don't watch the show. I know people who do watch the show and take the messages seriously. South Park is Schrödinger's Morality Tale. It's whatever the audience wants it to be.

I don't even watch the show. I just knew pseudo-intellects who used that episode as an excuse not to vote and feel smug about it. South Park has so many episodes, so many half thought out politics and messages, that you can just cherry pick whatever you want out of it. It's really just a new religion like that. I still hear people citing Super Cereal and manbearpig while mocking Climate Change science.

Remember the anti-trans episode with the graphic depiction of testicles being removed? I could have done the same thing with teeth being removed, but there's no cultural war about dental care. And yes, I know that they recanted and apologized for those, but the damage is done.

Their games aren't worth pirating.

Oh yeah, I agree. I blocked hexbear, but not .ml yet. I'm still willing to argue with that group. It's just saying "lemmy" has a Nazi problem is like saying email has a Nazi problem.

It's also federated. Which instance has a tankie problem? Which instance has a Nazi problem?

 

Some background info to the legendary Ghost Stories dub.

 

I messaged the seller asking for the exact name of the connector, but they just reiterated the listing title. I need a two Metri Pack-150 connectors, but I can't find prewired ones and I'd rather not buy a 200USD kit.

 

New Ask A Ninja. New Home Star Runner. *glances at politics

Feeling like it's the 2000's all of a sudden.

Released in January 5, 1999. I remember owning this software and flawless running PS1 games on my Blueberry iBook with a USB controller. Still wild that a company had the balls to release this thing and actually won the case that Sony brought against them, causing Sony to simply buy the company to discontinue the software.

Bonus: Steve Jobs advertising the software at MacWorld.

Bonus 2: Modern Vintage Gamer breakdown of the software.
