Family Guy had a gag involving Quagmire graphically forcing himself on to Marge Simpson then raping her and then manipulating her to "like" it, then proceeding to murder the Simpson family when Homer found out.

So this is nothing by Family Guy standards.

Yeah, I've known people like this and she probably sees you as a potential rapist or stalker, she's probably already convinced and talking shit behind your back to get you fired to "protect herself".

It sucks, it's probably born out of a traumatic experience with an actual stalker/rapist. But you need to protect yourself as well. HR needs to know this person isn't right in such a way that could be threatening to your livelihood.

Lego has a "no realistic modern weapons" policy, so it would probably never happen.

Also, parents lost their shit over Lego Simpson's, they're probably more careful about doing more adult oriented properties after that.

When it became obvious that AVGN's earlier success was a fluke due to YouTube being a new platform where not many people tried hard enough.

While he did get his start on YouTube, I believe his popularity actually skyrocketed back on GameTrailers when he was partnered with ScrewAttack.

The thing was, his shit was high production value for the time. Digital video equipment and software just wasn't accessible as it is now. So of course people watched it.

I think people forget how difficult it was to capture video game footage back in 2007. Capture cards, even the shitty ones cost an arm and a leg, and required splitters and all kinds of crap. It wasn't like what it is now, where you drop 100 bucks on a box that will do it all for you or even just use the console's built in capture software.

These days a kid can create something about as high quality with their phones and a green piece of tarp.

It really doesn't rain there at all.

I'm guessing it may be a climate change thing, like how it doesn't snow in Michigan anymore.

Lived in Redmond for about 2 years. I loved the area itself, but the culture was just kinda ... off.

I've had multiple instances of having spent hours writing fairly detailed posts only for it to be auto removed by a spam filter with zero insight on what in my post triggered it.

I could edit and reedit the post multiple times for only for it get removed each time.

I actually question if I was shadowbanned for some reason.

Regardless, Reddit is fuckin aweful and only getting worse.

I've worked at a kennel most of my life and interacted with more of these animals in a 10 year span than most of you will in your lives

Part of the issue is that most people are just shit at identifying breeds. A lot of "aggressive Pitbulls" are actually American Bulldogs - which are actually a pretty agressive breed.

The reality is you're far more likely to be bitten by a German Shepherd or a Chihuahua.

Pitbulls are actually fantastic for children, probably one of the best breeds you could get for a kid. Historically that's what they were known for, anti-pitbull shit is revisionism.

It's also mostly coded classism.

He's a traitor.
His values are antithetical to what this country was founded on.
He has caused an incalculable amount of damage to society at a global level.

My father went from being far left progressive to a conservative who is only voting Biden because of Trump.

Trans rights issues and pronouns are his reasoning, I'm not kidding. He is deathly afraid of calling someone the wrong pronoun and getting his life ruined and he seems to think that laws meant to protect trans people discriminate against him.

Nah I usually am numb but this time its different. Wish I hadn't even looked into this.

From my perspective, with how relentless and intense the US Government antagonizes the Internet with bills like this ... a really bad one passing was inevitable. That's why I'm numb. The internet has always been a dead man walking on borrowed time.

Society relying on it so heavily was always a mistake.

Even it doesn't pass, the next might, or the one after that.

The only way to "save the internet" is to reform the US political system... and that isn't going to happen any time soon.

Single, and right now I think that's for the best.

I have a really bad history with hurting people when it comes to relationship stuff. It actually feels like there's this cosmic force, that merely opening myself up to someone a little can be enough to hurt multiple people around me. Because of this, me being in an relationship would just be inherently selfish.

So I need to work on myself, probably for several years.

I'm just so numb to this shit at this point.

I don't support this, because it's dumb. I can see a point in wanting to curb foreign influencers before an election - but it's just a stupid way of going about it.

Want to regulate the Internet for the better _and_ curb propaganda? You need to do something about tracking and targeted ads.

Didn't read the article, but I actually think kids should have smart phones for safety reasons. But they should be locked down.
