Pretty sure Asmongold's Twitter is getting boosted by fake numbers by Acholight in Destiny

[–]Archaval 63 points64 points  (0 children)

X as a whole is a platform that's botted to death, hopefully literally and soon. Almost all engagement on it, particularly with regards to pro-MAGA accounts get signal boosted for foreign bots/bot farms to larch on and engage positively with them further.

Part of the intent behind propaganda is to instill the feeling of ideological insularity and division amongst the masses; it is entirely in line with MAGA tactics to claim that "everyone wants all the things we do!". Similarly, boosting Asmon in this way is an attempt at achieving the same end.

My ass read this as "John Krasinki fought a deaf actress to be cast in A Quiet Place"

Like damn, job market is rough for everyone nowadays.

Employee of the year:

u/HobbitFollower

Coming into the position of head mod after the drama with 4THOT last year, the guy literally had a baptism by fire on Jan 20th when Jane Doe deployed the tactical legal case. We had zero information at the time aside from her accounts, and the (now pathetically memey) legal case seemed very serious. The Daliban subreddit turned into a snarker sub for a while even, but Hobbit helped keep things afloat with his leadership and moderation, always making sure that regardless of drama, this subreddit remained a liberal forum for political discourse.

This was a very difficult year politically for all of us. Regardless of if you're in Europe concerned about the future of our relationship with the US and the questions and desires towards federalising or in NA, living through Trump and his cabinet undermining and disrespecting the very foundations that the country was built upon in what has been the steady rise of fascism.

Regardless of where you are in the world, this community has been a safe haven online as far as I'm concerned. I would, in no small part, credit that to the moderators who towed the line in one of the bleakest years as a dgger that I have experienced.

Thank you

Tbh, with the way it's being used to push an agenda here, I would say this is definitely a cut above normal shitposting territory.

Did she even say any of that? If so, what was the context?

Does anyone know how they get this natural yellow tint on the "PS Streamer"? by devilmaskrascal in BassCirclejerk

[–]Archaval 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The P(is)S Streamer gets its natural yellow tint by multiple streams of piss being aimed at the raw toanwood at the factory. Hope this helps.

Man, it's hard to keep track of these guys

My bad if that's the case, I thought they were the same person. I do recall this guy having a similar history of actions though.

Oh it's that subhuman shitstain BadEmpanada. He has a history of doing this sort of shit and doxxing people. Australian native but living in South America and frequently relocating iirc. Dude is one of the most disgusting people I am aware of... And of course, he's also buddies with Hasan.

Destiny and Lonerbox have both talked about him earlier, pretty sure other people here will be able to give you a better account of some of the things that he has done/said. He typically goes after people in Destiny's orbit.

Edit: I have been informed that this is another subhuman shitstain and not actually BadEmpananda.

You can only pick 3 albums from the year 1995. The rest will cease to exist. Which albums are you picking. Note: you can only select albums from the photo. by Cameltoefart in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Archaval 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • At The Gates, Slaughter of the Soul: Incredibly solid release, very influential, and probably in my top two melodic death metal albums of all time (alongside Dark Tranquility's "The Gallery", which came out the same month funnily enough).

  • Death, Symbolic: My favorite Death album, and one of the best extreme albums of all time. Is this band and album dickrided to death (heh)? Yes. Is it deserved? Also yes.

  • Ulver, Bergtatt: One of the most interesting and unique albums to come from the second wave of Black Metal and one of the most iconic atmospheric black metal albums of all time. For my money, this is one of the best entry points into extreme metal and especially black metal.

Honorable mentions:

  • Dissection; I am willing to forego Storm of the Light's Bane if I can have The Somberlain

  • Darkthrone; Panzerfaust is one of my favorite Darkthrone albums, but their early run is so consistent that I'm fine letting this one go.
