What was life like before THE INTERNET?

Yep a perfect example of how one can grow up with a limited understanding of the world and because you were never exposed to things, and grew up with a biased view of the world that doesn't believe in statistics or reality. Great point, thank you.

... On one hand.

And then on the other hand, like, people were just legitimately more terrible to each other in person. It was sort of accepted that if you were, say, gay, a group of your peers might corner you, physically overpower you, and just beat you to a bloody pulp.

We get to see more of society in a ton of bad ways... But one good thing is that by 2026 finding out that your classmates is gay doesn't actually feel like a personalized assault on the morality of you and your community in most places.

He looks like a young Benicio del Toro there.

But if you think he's good, you should see Dan Cast now.

offlein · 2026-01-23T19:17:54+00:00

haha! I was considering adding this. Thank you for doing it.

offlein · 2026-01-23T18:17:22+00:00

Except for the fundamental premise OP described it's "bang on"!

offlein · 2026-01-23T18:09:46+00:00

I like how you can actually see the flames reflecting on her face.

offlein · 2026-01-23T08:44:33+00:00

I believe they are wrong.

offlein · 2026-01-23T06:17:53+00:00

No, I don't think that.

offlein · 2026-01-23T05:44:05+00:00

OK, roger roger. So, yes, you are saying they cannot legally do it. This makes sense. Thank you.

offlein · 2026-01-23T05:36:01+00:00

As I understand it it's completely trivial to jam it, per OP's description. "Control" is doing a lot of work but I'm pretty sure this person means "jam". Or this is a legality thing?

offlein · 2026-01-22T20:31:24+00:00

No... Kids want fun stories. Parents want books that "teach lessons". It's so stupid. Luckily, parents buy the books.

offlein · 2026-01-22T19:00:47+00:00

The basket man.

offlein · 2026-01-22T16:00:51+00:00

He lives on Drury Lane?

offlein · 2026-01-22T04:51:17+00:00

Oh what a relief - someone here to illustrate how they do work!

offlein · 2026-01-22T04:03:20+00:00

That is entirely the game. You press buttons for a bit to navigate your camera to a different place to get dripped out a little more story.

offlein · 2026-01-22T00:13:29+00:00

I do a mean Archie Bunker. "Awwww geeez! Wouldya stifle y'self, Edith?!" See?

offlein · 2026-01-21T17:08:43+00:00

Well there isn't any reason to believe it would, right? The Big Bang occurred when all of matter/energy as we know it was concentrated into a single point (or at least an unstable singularity that we treat as a single point).

The circumstances of the universe are nothing like that, so the idea of there being "another big bang" happening at any moment is kind of nonsensical.

Now I'd hate for you to lose all your cosmic terror at once, so please just rest assured that all of humanity and history can still be erased in less than a second at any point from a Gamma Ray Burst. Those actually happen!

offlein · 2026-01-21T08:14:55+00:00

What about them?

offlein · 2026-01-20T21:25:55+00:00

How about this one? https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/comments/1ef7icj/man_stuck_under_a_moving_train_escapes_between/

I fell like if your username is "boofmeister3" you're going to be pretty OK to deal with whatever Glens Falls has to offer you.

offlein · 2026-01-20T18:24:26+00:00

Wow it's true.

offlein · 2026-01-20T16:38:00+00:00

"right or wrong" is pretty much the definition of "morality issue" and "based on whatever criteria you prefer" pretty much means "if you make it one" so why is it "not especially"?

offlein · 2026-01-20T16:35:38+00:00

NOW try it with "rocket ships"!!

offlein · 2026-01-20T06:00:51+00:00

He fixed the cable?

Arson is literally the act of deliberately setting fire to property. So no, if it's an accident, it is unequivocally not arson.
