Huh, today I learned. Never knew about the Something Awful origin back in the day

I don’t even watch porn and still I always get uncomfortable when someone sees my screen. Is it really that difficult to knock, and come in after you have received some kind of response?

MBM,

Yeah, I (used to?) always switch to my desktop when someone’s coming in, regardless of what I was doing. I wonder if people think I’m looking at porn non-stop.

TheChargedCreeper864,

I always do this and your comment specifically made me realize how that could look to other people.

At least sometimes they get to see a flash of a Word document when I’m half a second too late

Can someone explain how these are related?

They birthed and normalized shitty internet behavior: rickrolling on the lighter end, trolling, doxxing, and swatting.

They would also do shit like make fun of mentally handicapped people, which would lead goons to harassing the victims IRL and teaching kids that this was all OK.

And they would go after people who talked shit about about them, criticized them, or otherwise attacked them. The 4chan army would come out in force and try to ruin people's online existence.

Before Q-Anon showed up, they had started calling Trump God Emperor during the election. I think they may just have chose him as the candidate who would cause the most chaos, but it's easy to see how others others would take their goals more seriously and want Trump as president.

And the cycles of shitty behavior over decades attracted more and more rightwingers. I used to think of them as a chaos collective, but the politics swung hard right.

And then they spread to other platforms with r/the_donald, pepe the frog, and calling each other pedes.

Porn. We’ll use it for nature porn.

Catsrules,

Like earth porn?

LillyPip,

Yes, *wink.

Fun fact: some people have a nature fetish and will dig holes in the ground or bore holes in trees so they can literally fuck the earth. I’m not judging, but now you have to share the burden of this knowledge.

AI memes. Yes, please!

majestictechie, to memes in let them have it.

For me that usually means I’m either choosing a new background or modifying the desktop.

If I’m watching porn. I keep it up. Assert dominance, like the dude in my porn.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but very rarely are desperate parents the ones stealing baby formula to feed their baby.

Baby formula theft is done in large quantities by a middleman for two purposes:

  1. to be resold at another smaller store, not any cheaper than the original retailer
  2. to be used to cut / dilute the product in drug manufacturing

People stealing baby formula are not handing them out to grateful mothers in a Robin Hood style act of compassion.

AssholeDestroyer,

That sounds more like DARE style bullshit to justify getting angry at people stealing formula. I’ve definitely heard of baby powder or baby laxative but that’s because they react similar to coke by dissolving in water like blow or acting like a numbing agent. Baby formula doesn’t numb and it gets milky in water.

It makes no sense from a economic stand point either. People cut drugs to make more money. Most of the shit they use costs next to nothing, isn’t watched and definitely isn’t locked up.

stillwater,

It’s not all baby formula, only certain ones. I believe Similac has one that works. Baby formula is locked up in some stores for this very reason.

HOWEVER, I would definitely not say “most baby formula shoplifters are using it for drug production”, especially not these days.

I remember standing in line at a liquor store, watching a (likely) homeless woman carefully pocket some food item. I said nothing. I talked about it the next day at work. A coworker suggested I’d just passed an “ethics test.”

That was many years ago, before I’d established my current worldview. Today, I’d be silently rooting for them. “Get some food!”

I wouldn’t call that necessarily passing an ethics test. You could’ve wanted to say something, but were too lazy.

Not doing something wrong is different from doing something right.

Stop what you’re doing and also punch a Nazi?

Between highschool and starting uni, I did a small stint as a cashier.

I called the cops on two people, one was stealing beer, the other some keychain. Both cheap items, but not necessities.

I saw multiple people steal baby formula and diapers and there wasn't a bone in my body that even thought of calling the cops on them.

The first are stealing to steal.

The later are stealing to survive.

Imho the law should make a clear distinction between the two too.

evilgiraffe666, to memes in everyone fights...

If they’re stealing it from people, I think I’d do something. But corporations aren’t people.

Imgonnatrythis,

Depends where you are. In the US they actually are:

evilgiraffe666,

I’ll believe it when they execute one
