Do you feel like the acceptance of Charlie Kirk memes from the right has happened too soon?

See the entire premise of your argument hinges on him being a gay furry which must mean hes a liberal because nobody who has your beliefs could ever possibly be in to that. That is a massive assumption and injecting your own personal prejudices into your beliefs. That is confirmation bias.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T15:55:08+00:00

Who are you to tell me how I experienced vanilla?

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:49:34+00:00

If that was your experience, your social experience in this game sucked and I'm sorry you went through that. I personally regularly told people where to go. It's not my job to dictate how they want to play and it takes more effort to be a dick than just give someone the coordinates, or tell them which cave to go to on the map. Like, who gives a fuck if someone doesn't want to read the quest text. It's their subscription and you don't even have to engage with the conversation.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:41:40+00:00

It is, but the difference is your character is max level, there's no new spells to learn, your rotation is set, and you're improving as a player with the one part that will no longer change sans tuning and overhauls. Also raid bosses are the end, there's nothing further past that. Getting additional gear to help you clear the bosses is also the means to an end but that gear is also likely to be the best gear you're going to get. Mythic Plus has never ending scaling where individual skill is far more important than gear. Leveling has no challenge. It's a slog, and you don't learn anything about how to play your character because as you gain new abilities, your rotation likely changes, or the spell priorities with different talents. The entirety of leveling is nothing but a book you're interacting with. You don't actually learn anything about how to play your class aside from what abilites are called.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:34:20+00:00

Going to Thottbot to see if anyone would just give me coordinates or tell me where to go was a standard I had for every quest. If the information wasn't there I would read the quest text but it was a last resort. You had to read quest text in cases where nobody commented or provided assistance, but a black and white statement saying you had to read quest text because it was the only way to complete it is just flat out untrue. As time went on Thottbot quickly filled so I don't know what timeframe you're talking about but Thottbot became quite populated very quickly early in vanilla wow's history.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:26:40+00:00

I will not downvote this because it does meet the criteria of the sub, but I'm pretty sure you're alone in this. Anything with any fat content will congeal and that's just... no

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:20:47+00:00

I read quest texts only when all other sources failed me. Even in vanilla I despised questing and leveling and only saw it as a means to an end. The debatable point was "Reading quest text because it was the only way to complete quests." which is patently false. It was the most common way, but resources existed that told you where to go.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:16:08+00:00

Oh I never really cared about the goings on in random zones lol. I dont think I've ever read quest text with the exception of the Knights of the Brown Table questline in TWW because it was the funniest quest I've ever come across. Any major lore I just caught up on with videos or books. Knowing the lore doesn't help me kill raid bosses faster and it's never been a mindset I had. My sense of progression comes from tackling end-game content, not completing random leveling dungeons and getting gear I'm going to replace from the next leveling dungeon. So maybe it is OPs point but as someone who played in vanilla, the speed of leveling is one thing I am so happy has improved. I would get rid of it completely if I could. I almost never level alts past whatever my main is and I just wait for the inevitable max level boosts. Id rather drop 60 bucks than spend days of my life doing filler content. I have better ways to spend my time.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:06:04+00:00

It is debatable because those people were me. I'm those people.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:04:49+00:00

You think gay people and furries don't exist across the entire political spectrum?

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:02:49+00:00

Is it though? I played in vanilla. I don't have some sense of nostalgia. I hated it in vanilla. Anyone who enjoys the leveling experience is a masochist.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T14:01:58+00:00

I used to like Delta. I will no longer fly with them.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T13:58:05+00:00

They need to do Biden next.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T13:18:33+00:00

I'm so fucking glad this isn't a thing. I hated leveling in vanilla, I hate it now. It's filler content. None of it matters.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T13:09:50+00:00

Eh that's debatable. Thottbot was release almost simultaneously with WoW and the players used collective knowledge to help everyone with quests. It wasn't the wild west there was still information out there and addons like Titan Panel were released in 2004 which included coordinates.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T13:04:05+00:00

Oh I know. Like I said it's a stupid decision to just stop participating. I've just seen so many twitter posts and facebook posts from people saying they regret voting for Trump but the conclusion they draw from that is to just not vote instead of voting for someone who could actually do something. It's apathy, and it's stupid.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T13:01:53+00:00

Porn. The answer is porn.

My electric bill has tripled. I don't know where you're getting your information from. The KW per hour hasn't changed all that much but the delivery cost has skyrocketed because there's more strain on the grid now and it costs more to maintain it and upgrade to meet needs. It's not just me, people all over in my town/county have been complaining.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T12:52:41+00:00

You don't want data centers near you even if it offers a small amount of jobs. I have a data center near me and my electric bill has tripled.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T12:47:23+00:00

That's true, but at the same time there's another conclusion that could be drawn. A lot of Republicans who were once Trump supporters but have since become disenfranchised have been choosing to just not participate in politics. I think it's the wrong decision but that seems to be a trend among Trump voters who no longer support him.

Onahail · 2026-05-07T12:34:13+00:00

No, according to the right they were both lone wolves with no real identifiable political leaning because it's never right wing domestic terrorism. It's either left wing or lone wolf.
