First I saw jelly beans, then I noticed the arrangement and saw touching tips, then I looked for what else could be taken in that direction and noticed the clearly intentional double penetration.

Maybe the two vampire hands were the problem.

None of these points make any sense to me when I think about the pre-reddit internet. There were all kinds of communities everywhere on various forums across the internet. Some forums discussed specific topics, some very niche, other forums were for more general discussions. But hosting and setting up a forum was not always the easiest thing. So when reddit came, subreddits eventually replaced forums. Easy to set up, easy to discover, everything in one place.

Now the fediverse is to me pretty much like going back to the old forums, but a bit more organized. And all of the points in this article could have been made about forums if you decided to analyze forums as one big thing. But in the end, none of it has been a problem (and there are still some forums around today).

Why does the post tile sound like an AI prompt?

I’ve been PC gaming since 8-bit computers. I eventually bought an Xbox One as my first console and a Switch some years ago. I just couldn’t get into either of them after the initial novelty wore off. PC gaming is so much more convenient for me. I’m already at my PC, I just need to start a game. And I can multi-task with other apps in the background or on my second monitor. Going to the living room to play on a console on the TV, or switching inputs if I keep it attached to my PC monitor, both are too much hassle. I only ever use the XBox for Just Dance (nothing beats Kinect for it) and I’ve played many more hours of Switch games on an emulator on my PC than on the actual Switch.

Why does that character have two left hands?

I’m just imagining people being judged for having family on that list. Does the list include potentially innocent people? Or is it all guilty but they have to say “suspected” because the lack of trial?

“Suspected” as in not confirmed? I’m all for publishing the names of known collaborators, but just suspected collaborators sounds dangerous. I was alive during a regime where “suspected” was enough for an arrest and enhanced interrogation.

That comes out of the box with current versions of Windows. The era of Bullzip PDF Printer is gone.

Why is Hitler in the background?

I bet he knows the hacker 4chan too

It’s nice to say no, but across history there have been so so many societies that have allowed exactly that at similar scales.

Not that impressive on carpet

Looks like any of hundreds of movies from that time. It’s been literal decades since I saw it, I was probably the same age my daughter is now. Once I read the reference I realized that I do recognize T1000, but I definitely don’t remember that kid.
