When you either read something or think about something while typing and end up typing the thing you read/thought about instead of the thing you were supposed to type, leading to blunders like this.

I would've put this in the cringe/facepalm thread because this is a facepalm moment but that's locked now.

All right this one always gets me upset. I'll be surfing yiff out there, only looking for the soloF or lesbian stuff, stroking myself along, almost getting there, the pics getting hotter and hotter... And a picture with a DICK shows up despite the filter! Then that's just a huge boner-killer, and I have to start again. If it's labelled [F] or [F/F] then I EXPECT to see NO DICKS!!!

Gelbooru definitely has that problem, since almost all tags used for females are used for futanari as well. I think the only one that isn't is "yuri" and even that still appears on futa images sometimes.

2:31 - Funny, I thought stereotyping women was a bad thing. Why are they allowed to do it?

Rude employees. I went to Walmart today and saw a cart of unopened boxes. One of them caught my eye. It said "Hot Wheels- 12 pieces." I'd never seen a case of Hot Wheels with 12 pieces written on the box, so I looked at it out of curiosity. I was just turning it, looking for an indicator of the contents, not opening it or anything. This rude old hag of an employee comes up and snaps at me. "This is to be worked on," she said. I walked away and told her she shouldn't treat customers like that. She played dumb. She could have said "please don't touch" or "we're working on this at the moment. Please wait," but she had to be rude about it. I should have talked to a manager, but I was in a hurry. Why do old people think they can talk down to young people like that? This is in stark contrastto a Walmart I went to a few days ago. There was an unopened case that I went through with no issue.

TL;DR I hate rude employees.

or those who source and don't put the artist tag (either leaving it blank or putting unknown_artist) when the artist name is right there at the source in plain site.

this can be especially bad when pixiv is the source since you can see the artist name right in plain sight the moment the page loads.

Thoughts on Unite the Right in Charlottesville

It really pisses me off when YouTube channels disable ratings and comments instead of taking criticism. I notice this on a lot of SJW channels, especially the ones where they spew bullshit statistics with no proof. YouTube in general is a shitshow of epic proportions, especially with the new demonitization algorithm.

For the ones you subscribe to, yes. You can switch your search engine to Duck Duck Go and browser to Firefox, Opera, etc. whenever you want. The others have some issues attached, such as switching email because you'd have to tell people what your new email address is, switching from an Android phone because that costs money, etc. but it can be done and every person that does this lessens Google's revenue and market share a tiny bit.

I'm just gonna leave this here. I am not a fan of extremists on BOTH the right AND the left. Discords highly public removal of an Alt-Right server(and I didn't even see proof someone reported them either this looks like something Discord did on their own) is very telling.

If ToS was violated okay fine I get it, but apply across the board, and lets be honest Antifa(And this is objective fact not opinion, I mean anyone remember the byc-lock to the head incident some months back?) have done MUCH worse then the Alt-Right, and undoubtedly use Discord as well as Twitter for organizing attacks, but we will never get a proud public display of removing the violent Antifa.

Sorry I know politics is kinda taboo subject, I wasn't trying to make this political I'm just trying to air my grievance about this stupid crap.

and looking through the comments, i just learned of an alternative to patreon called Hatreon

about page... users get 90% of any money earned with 5% going to transaction fees and another 5% going to hatreon.

the site looks pretty bare boned to me but uh... no, actually it looks similar to patreon. just less fancy.

When I find an RPG that starts interesting but later devolves into a number climbing simulator. If I wanted to watch numbers steadily rise with little to no entertainment or input, I'd start playing Progress Quest again.

For this reason, I don't recommend the Android/iOS game called A Girl Adrift. It starts out okay but by the time you reach rank 25, it becomes a boring grind fest (which can be almost entirely automated) with very little reward.

Because it's not like they can trip over their binders or anything. What if they have to carry other things, like a jumper?

Honestly, it sounds like the schools are trying to get themselves in trouble. Not teaching your student for a bullshit reason like "They had a backpack" is clearly covering for something else. Maybe nothing against the little girl herself, but where that rule initiated from was surely something bad.

at this point, that's hardly news anymore.

*sees news* oh no, more people killed by terrorists!

yeah...whatever, just another day in europe. *goes back to browsing the internet*

seriously though, there are solutions to the problem that can be done. but nooo... everyone is too scared of being called "x"ist or "x"phobic to do anything (or to criticize and call out certain groups on their actions). and the governments over there SUCK! so the bad things just keep on happening and getting worse.

though i suppose it's not much better here in the US where we have home grown terrorist groups rioting like they did in charlottesville among other things.

Honestly, I think this is down to what, exactly, legally counts as inciting terrorism, especially in a digital context. Currently the law is quite clearly incompetent to address digital terrorism.

It's awful, but events like these are also what will help properly inform the creation of laws to address digital terrorism. The website was, in effect, a flow of publically accessible evidence, and it would be naive strategically to stop that evidence flowing before charges are made. Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

That's cultural enrichment, those people are tried of seeing us live in such a sinful manner. They're trying to help convince us to change our sinful ways, these are very compassionate people.

though i suppose it's not much better here in the US where we have home grown terrorist groups rioting like they did in charlottesville among other things.

Some cable news stations were try to compare what was happening in Spain to what had happened Charlottesville. You get a group of people protesting the removal of US history, some LARPers show up, then a schizo thats off his meds causes a problem and now these people are all white supremacist terrorist. I thought we weren't suppose to judge a group of people based off the action of a few assholes. I guess the only way to achieve equality, is to lower the standards by which we judge certain groups of people... how progressive.

When people call Americans stupid as a whole just because of a few stupid people. They don't take into account any of the scientific breakthroughs or important inventions Americans have come up with in the past. The worst part is we just sit there and take it. Yet, when we call them out for the stupid shit their country has done, we're the assholes.

What makes me angry? When people bash the entirety of America on the actions of a few groups, etc. It's a dick move all the same, sorry, not sorry. But your country isn't perfect either, so yeah, give us a break, it's pretty damn annoying and douchey.

I find it hard to take people who compare Nazis and antifa seriously, especially when they insult everyone who has an opinion on the matter with a slur that only one of those groups would erase from the face of the earth if they had their way.

Persona 3 is an RPG you'll probably hate then. The game's story is quite interesting but then you get to the game's main dungeon, Tartarus, and grind til you reach a blockade, wait until a full moon, beat the boss and repeat til you get to the final boss, all while watching your levels go up. I like the game but it can't be denied that it's a very grindy game.

Antifa and Nazis are scum of the earth, troglodytes. Beating them up isn't the answer, sure, but I'm tempted to double flip them off as I drive by their rallies. Immature, sure, but it's an exercise of freedom of speech. Both organizations are run by heartless bastards.

I think it's that they just got the wrong objectively villainous historical figure. Maybe Josef Stalin. While both hate Nazis, both habitually accuse everyone, especially uninvolved neutral third parties, of being literal Nazis, both believe themselves to be above their own laws, both use deliberate misinterpretation to make enemies where there are none for the sole purpose of having someone to oppose, both use death threats as a first resort, both are able and willing to back the threats up, both deny actions committed out in the open, often while in the process of performing said action and always TO the person the action is targeting, both depend on manipulating the meaning of a word, both claim oppressing them is inherent in the system, both focused all recruiting attempts on places of education, both target places of education, both believe it is insane not to believe in guilt by association, and both claim to be based on "to each according to his needs and from each according to his ability.

And both will eventually crumble from the inside even without any intervention, and 50 years from now it will be a mystery why we ever thought we would lose, even though the "threat" was doomed to fail from the very beginning, and 50 years from now, when the attempt is made again, our grandchildren will also be terrified it will succeed before it crumbles exactly the same way it did every other time for the exact same reasons, and 100 years from now, it will be a mystery why our grandchildren were ever afraid of losing.

It may sound a bit optimistic, but here's the thing. I don't do optimism. Every plan or strategy for the tiniest thing has always been assuming the worst possible thing that can ever result. Because it has been the case often enough. And the person who is used to the worst case scenario being the only scenario believes there is no threat, and that fearing what would happen will look ridiculous in the near future, and that this is what will happen every time it ever comes up.

Worst case scenario, what passes for a threat crumbles a little slower than it usually does.

antifa is partly based on Marxism, but I think it's important to note it's also based on Postmodernism. The relevant claims (made by Derrida) are these two:

"The only purpose of categories is to exclude.". Which is ludicrous because while categories necessarily exclude, they also include. That's how categories work, a category that contains everything is meaningless and thus useless. They are pragmatic tools (that is, we tend to use categories in a way that groups things that have similar uses together).

"There is nothing beyond the text". That is, anything that is said or written is purely a matter of subjective interpretation. This is absurd because meaning is something that is negotiated between people, it's a continual process, not something you can just make up to suit yourself.

(Jordan Petersen goes more into the nature of these, but it should be clear enough that these are propositions reflecting and creating profound resentment.)

Those two items of doctrine combine to create a view that can be described as 'There is no truth, and no dialog is possible. There is only power.'

And IMO this fully explains their tactics: they are thugs because when you can't fight with words, fighting with fists is all that is left. Their words tend to be incoherent nonsense when dissected because the words are only serving as a weapon to silence dissenting viewpoints, not supposed to be part of a dialog.

(That's why when I read 'antifa' for the first time I genuinely thought it meant 'antifactual'. I think if you look at it carefully, it's not that they simply don't care about facts. They actually go out of their way to make hypocritical and false statements because that is how to get someone riled up and polarize the political landscape further.. However, to be fair, all radicals are motivated to do this, because oversimplifying the world into allies and enemies is fundamental to any kind of radicalism / ideology)

This is why I hate it when people treat the term "video game music" as a music genre. You can't describe what it sounds like because it can sound like literally anything. It's about as useless as saying "CD music".

Yup. Idealist says a thing, group likes it. Different group twists idealist in order to attract the first group, movement claims this time will end the cycle, it doesn't, everyone else wonders why they thought there was any threat, third option ends up making the original group happy without a revolt, rinse, repeat.

The thing is, the people who try to take advantage of a vulnerable group and claim to help them while actually using them, tend to be someone who cannot conceive of the possibility of being fallible The one thing they can never get information about is themself. Which means any failure that occurs will occur every time the attempt is made, in the exact same way, for the exact same reason. And because it tends to be someone who actually IS one-dimensional and cookie-cutter as if from a low budget film, even though it's a different corrupt leader, the scenario still plays out as if the same person did it every time. The very thing that makes such a movement so cold and terrifying is also why it is guaranteed to fail every time, down to the most minute detail. Because there is one advantage the rest of the world DOES have. Experience, and the ability to get more of it.

You joke, but these premises are already written into law in some places, for example many provinces in Canada. It's illegal to not use someone's chosen pronouns. (I believe to be precise this is classed as a hate crime)

I've seen some videos on that. Like I said in comment #3420763, this will lead to many people pulling an Elmo and not using any pronouns at all in fear of getting arrested for using the wrong three-letter word in some snowflake's presence. Writing this into law will only give people a reason to either leave Canada, avoid interacting with anyone or start trolling people.

Antifa and Nazis are scum of the earth, troglodytes. Beating them up isn't the answer, sure, but I'm tempted to double flip them off as I drive by their rallies. Immature, sure, but it's an exercise of freedom of speech. Both organizations are run by heartless bastards.

Just tempted? Bitch I'd park and heckle their asses out the window

Too blatant. Just put a sauwastika on your car and slowly drive past. They can't tell the difference between ࿕ and ࿖, and if they attack your car, you can report them for vandalism. If they try to charge you with displaying a hate symbol, tell them you're a Buddhist.
