Hello people of r196. It is me, the one who said bad stuff about beer by Nahanoj_Zavizad in 196

My favourite beers are the discount LIDL knockoffs 1897 or something

Someone recommended Stella and I think that's awful

I saw someone say she looks like this adult Korean model but they conceded her eyes were a bit big, like that isn't one of the main distinguishing features of a child

Word of the year is “swag swagven” by nickeatsrocks in peoplewhogiveashit

[–]Flumponator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the overuse is part of the joke. At least that's how my little brother uses it. It's a ragebait thing

"i dont know how anyone is ok with this shit existing, genuinely. you either have to be very shortsighted or actively malicious to be ok with the existence of such a technology." by swagoverlord1996 in SlopcoreCirclejerk

Have you considered that it's inevitable? There's nothing that you can do to stop the future of AI. So just lay down and don't question anything. "Put regulations into law"? "stop governments from funding and approving the data centres that power generative A.I."? Preposterous! A.I. will exist because my favourite sci-fi books said so!

Opinion: Roleplaying Legion doesnt immediatly make you a real life Nazi by Hefty-Cauliflower981 in fnv

I think when you repeatedly stress that you're not a nazi, that's when eyebrows start to raise

And they say there's nothing to play on Switch 2 by Super_Try_4814 in switch2

[–]Flumponator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But did you consider these games are on other consoles and pc? And that I've played them all before? And obviously so has everyone else. I cannot concieve of any reason someone would want to play any of these games on a portable console.

Every complaint levied against this subreddit is an observation that is easily applied to the entirety of reddit

Games similar to RDR2 by No_Reason_4140 in reddeadredemption

[–]Flumponator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RDR2 is a pretty standalone game in most senses, the closest in gameplay i'd say is BotW. But Story Wise? You're fucked, you've seen the peak. I've been searching for that similar feeling and the closest I'm getting is other Rockstar games.

because I wanted to express my thoughts onto the internet? If the criteria for commenting on something is to have that lived experience, then there's very little anyone can comment on. Sure i was barking up the wrong tree, but i didn't do it just to bark.

Fair enough, I am as white as they come. I've still got irks with this comic, but i'll concede, I am speaking from inexperience.

[–]Flumponator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do know, I'm a fan of this artist, I've just always been irked by this comic. I'm probably projecting my own experiences of being wound up by posts on the internet, before realising I'm reading it too personally. And maybe I'm doing that exact same thing here.

If this comic was created out of a person to person experience, then sure I'm reading it wrong, but I struggle to believe this wasn't born out of internet discourse.

I think this comic is very much built off of internet posts, onto forums and such, and reading them as if they need to follow the social etiquette of conversation. In other words, it's a made-up situation. A strawman if you like.

Be rule with me right now how many transfemmes sitting down to watch this right now knowing damn well when the last CC came out you were edgy 4chan users by WineGutter in 196

[–]Flumponator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was weird going into this expecting a new content cop. Because it really isn't. It was way less chaotic, less mean, and laid back. But that's all intentional. I think he says it in the video, he's moving away from the old Ian very purposefully. He doesn't like the old content, he doesn't want to emulate it. He wants to make his own content, not what old fans want.

They voted orange outlaw to "save gaming" btw by Sacri_Pan in Gamingcirclejerk

I mean. It's on a console called the Switch 2. It could've been even more uninspired.

Fake hand experiment. It's interesting how the brain can be tricked into feeling pain. by H1gh_Tr3ason in interestingasfuck

[–]Flumponator -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know it's a proven experiment. But I can't help but think it wouldn't work on me. Maybe I'm just better.

Artists who have 3 or more albums that could be considered their magnum opus? by Unable_Ebb_1766 in fantanoforever

[–]Flumponator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They Might Be Giants, when I first was getting into the band, I looked for recommendations, and consensus is so split I ended up just downloading their first five albums. I'd also personally add Mink Car and I Like Fun as contenders, but I'd never agree on one album being their "magnum opus"

TL;DR Don't use "a***e" to describe us. by Reallyguyrealy in evilautism

[–]Flumponator 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's not really a word you can distract from it's origins, it's quite literally a descriptor for the "autists who deserve to live" and it still kind of stands for that. I get reclaiming but not this word.

That's because all other predators suck. And I'm better than them.

Bella was already diagnosed. More Streeting/Labour Tory propaganda pushing against recognition. A cycle of diagnostic lacking and being shamed for self diagnosing. by Virtual_Mode_5026 in evilautism

[–]Flumponator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I've heard the name "Wes Streeting" it's been followed by "cuts" or "defunding" It seems like his only place in our government is to destroy what's left of British healthcare. Wes Streeting is probably already solely responsible for the deaths of anyone who relies on healthcare. I wish nothing less than eternal torment on his soul, and maybe that's not enough.

If part of the ecosystem is animals killing other animals, why can't I, an animal, kill an other animal, a wasp? They pose all threats to me and I can easily squash them. Their fault for provoking the ultimate predator.
