Does anyone here type similar to how they would speak in public or is it the opposite or somewhere in between? And just in case I get that one guy, I don't mean like saying emoticons, emojis or owo/uwu out loud in public spaces. I mean more of are you more bold on here and softspoken off the internet?

Personally, I'm probably more formal with my words here than I'll ever be in person as if this is a job I take more serious than my actual job. I usually would have words like alright or want to/going to said out loud as aright and wanna/gonna. One thing similar is that I avoid being vulgar. The only thing vulgar from me is my taste in music. Well, not all of it. And other things, but I'm sure I don't need to explain or you want to know why that is.

    Ain't it grand; my truck is just barely due for its 2nd maintenance service, and I have already had someone back up into the front, knocking the bumper a bit loose on the passenger side, and leaving a small crack in the grille :|

    My dad’s rear bumper on his BMW suffered a major bend when he had his car poking out just a bit of the garage. Soon as it closed without noticing its fully inside, the interior bolt from the garage door as it went down bent the bumper like butter. Leaving an ugly indent. Cost $800 for replacement.

    Speaking of which, that’s kinda like a wake up call for mine. Now that my car is paid off and my warranty is expired, the dealership is gonna crook me of high cost of how much oil and filter needs to change, tire rotations, battery inspection, etc.

    I gotta go take it somewhere else for them to work on my car. Probably go to Mondino Imports that cost half of what the dealership offers. 🤔

    @dba_afish: Going to be honest, I just wanted to change the current topic about music at the time, so I didn't put much thought into the implications. Also how do you mess with the text like that? I tried messing with the header thing, but I've got no clue what might be wrong. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how to do that even with the DText help page.

    you mean the small text? [sup][/sup] or [sub][/sub].

    I normally use [sub] since it reads like sotto voce, to me, at least, where as [sup] feels more whisper-y.

    you can also stack them to make text get smaller and smaller.

    If given the choice of only watching movies, tv shows or documentaries for the rest of your time alive, which one would it be?

    I would keep tv shows

    I don't want to seem like a douche, but, I have a problem with the question itself. You see, those are all categories of audio-visual narrative media™, and very similar ones at that, so giving up one of them isn't very different from giving up all of them.
    To answer the question, documentaries come in both tv presentation and movie presentation and are good to watch, but I need to be in the exact mood for it, I haven't watched one in ages, so not that one; movies are a big part of social interaction nowadays, but the good ones don't come out, relatively, very often and they're relatively short, however they can be life-changing and that gives them points, still probably not that either; many of my favorite pieces of media are tv_shows that I like to revisit

    kind of a difficult one, honestly. not because I particularly love any of these mediums, in fact I think there's five, six of each that I've sought out to watch for myself in about the past decade*. every other thing I've ever checked out is because someone in the house wants to watch it as a group, or a friend on Discord wants to sync it on call. so, this choice has the effect of potentially fucking up my main social interaction situation.

    TV'd probably be the best option, at least then I wouldn't need to make up an excuse to not go to the cinema when I don't want to, "ahh sorry, can't. I have that curse, remember?".

    *my main "me" media has really always been "weird internet garbage", all the way back to when I was but a fry browsing the NG frontpage, excited to see the new part of there_she_is release. man, kind of shocking how little my favorite genre's changed since I was in elementary. sappy furry romance back then and it kinda still is.

    Alright, since it looks like we got most of our complaints/opinions about current music out of our system, how about something simpler?

    If given the choice of only watching movies, tv shows or documentaries for the rest of your time alive, which one would it be? I'm not mentioning music or video games since the choice would be way too easy for some of you blip #126683. For me I would choose tv shows over anything else. Documentaries are very unlikely to catch my interest but there can be exceptions. Movies aren't usually my thing either since if I didn't like it the first time or had problems with it after a certain point why would I want to watch it again. Tv shows I can tolerate the most since if there's a few bad episodes I can just skip them (unless the show builds upon the last or some previous episodes so I'll miss context for how things happened)

    @savageorange: You know what, I have to agree with that. If you ask me to mention 10 bad songs I've listened to in the past year, I won't be able to answer that. Let alone songs made even earlier. But if it were good songs, then it's just a walk in the park. I think this closes the case for me.

    Yeah, I upvote pretty much anything that interests me enough to click on and I look at and go "yeah that's pretty good" or "that looks cool". I'm very loose with them because I have my favorites for posts I really like. Whereas downvoting, a post has to really irritate me to warrant it, since otherwise I just feel bad for reducing the score on an otherwise perfectly fine image. Anything I don't really have a strong opinion on I don't vote on.

    There is a real selection effect going on. Take the older stuff. Of course it seems better. Why would people bother mentioning or archiving music (or art, etc..) if it's forgettable?
    Nostalgia is a separate phenomena IMO but acts to reinforce this selection effect (because, why would we (as individuals, this time) bother remembering music/art/etc that's forgettable? That seems as if it would be positively nonfunctional.)

    Whereas contemporary creative work has only had a minimal level of filtering by the time we experience it.

    I have 458 pages of upvoted posts and only 4 pages of downvoted posts, not sure what thay says about me

    I think that's pretty normal. First of all, people uploading will have a bias towards things they like, and, as social beings, we tend to like some of the things others like, in other words, you like more posts than those you don't because it's in the nature of posts to have a higher chance of being liked. Alternatively, you upvote more posts because you're smart and you pay less attention to the things you would downvote unless the evoke a specially strong reaction, which is also natural.

    that is part of it, yes, but there's a bigger picture. Imagine you're a kid and you like music, you listen to it a lot and get used to how it sounds. But music isn't made by kids, it's made by grown-ups who, unlike kids, have an understanding of time context and the fact it changes. Because of this, what you'll see is that the music you're used to will not be made anymore, and what comes after will be different, not what you like, and you'll refuse to hear it. This is a childish reaction, yes, and someone who matures should grow out of it, but we know some people refuse to mature as well.

    That's fine. I'm just saying I'm getting sick of seeing the same crap all over the comments. There's some good stuff around the 2010's I like and some stuff from 2000's and as early as the 70's, but all I'm saying is this feels like a neverending loop of people repeating the same comment with nothing original. I almost miss the t.m.i. posts of what the songs reminded them of in their past such as a death or loss. Yeah I get it, there's more crap nowadays but it ain't all crap. You'll just have to grab a shovel and start digging around more than usual compared to other years, find indie musicians who can fill that niche (because I'm sure the music industry now has gotten a bit too safe and less risk heavy), or if you've got the time, effort and skill you could make your own love letter to the songs or genres your a fan of.

    @Grab-n-Stash: There's always going to be bad/mediocre music and music will always change, just like fashion trends, tastes in food, people, etc. Disco, Gansta Rap, Doo-wop, Slow Jams, old fashioned love songs, people singing about their past and many other kinds of genres can and would eventually be less seen produced after a while, with newer generations changing the playing field and maybe doing some callbacks with samples of the older songs they liked or inspired them. Rambling aside, my point is no matter what, it seems like there's just a constant circle of people complaining about how things were back then and can't seem to understand that while some of what they say can be right, things will never be static. Maybe its just human nature for people to have this mindset, but for better or worse, things can and will change whether they like it or not.

    I've got a long rant incoming so expect an essay or wall of text amount of words. Yesterday I was looking through YouTube to put some more music on my playlist from when I was younger, when I noticed that almost all the comment sections I was looking through had at least two to three comments bare minimum saying something along the lines of " Who's still listening to this in (insert current year the comment was made)" or "they don't make songs like these anymore" and I'm over here thinking why is this a thing being repeated like we got a hive mind or bots. What was playing back in the day was a product of its time just like the music in the past and what we have now. It feels like I'm seeing a repeat of the older generation complaining about what the younger generation and how its worse with nothing but rose tinted glasses, only this time its the people in their late 20s-40s.

    The main purpose of the tags were to be able to distinguish between animations like post #4798565 (obvious motion tweening for head/arm/etc movement) and post #4443977 (obvious redrawing for head/penis/etc movement). A lot of people have a strong dislike for the former style of animation, even if there may be a few redrawn frames of animation here and there, but are fine with the latter, even if some movement is a result of "tweening".

    But making them mutually exclusive under all circumstances makes it impossible to find posts that do utilize both, for those interested in that. Complex blacklists exist for this exact reason.

    After all, tags aren't just for blacklisting.

    The line is hard to draw, though. Maybe we should open a thread about this.

    so, when a null character has a bulge roughly the position and size of where balls and penis would go we call that null_bulge. similar to how bulge works, except their anatomy is just like that, rather than it being something under clothes.

    I don't think I've come across any cases of this, but what would we call the tag for the other case? like, I don't think we have a tag for when a character's body just has the vague topography of the labia majora between their legs but no hole. under clothes it's called camel_toe... so, would it be, like uhh... camnull_toe?

    Honestly I feel those tags should be used for what the animation style primarily is, not whether any aspect of it has been tweened or has redrawn frames. I doubt people looking for motion tweening are looking for things like post #4487513 (I'm not even sure how that's motion tweening, to be honest?), and I doubt people who blacklist motion tweening will want something like post #4781593 blocked because there's some pan and scan going on for still frames where the animation itself is otherwise frame-by-frame. They're two distinct animation styles that people can have strong preferences for, and I don't think it will be helpful to tag them both when it's primarily one and a minor detail utilizing the other.
