@migamilk @tardedlib It's basically recreating charcuterie from first principles, before bourbon peach jam and cayenne havarti were a thing

@Ceo0809 @MrLeadslinger "Distract the populace" - the same populace that voluntarily gorges itself on reality TV, short form content and audiobook porn every day of their lives. That's a good one.

@PandaOnABox @skoonrB When you're the public face of an org whose only other representation is a half dozen opaque corporate engagement accounts, you have to know people are going to see you as its leader, and really the personification of it. I can hardly blame the members for feeling betrayed.

[Charlemagne @The7thSeraph]

@PandaOnABox @skoonrB Yeah, a lot of the cope I'm seeing is along the lines of "none of us are perfect"/"we all make mistakes"/"we shouldn't judge". Be that as it may, that doesn't mean you can't recognize improper conduct for what it is, or not want to be part of an organization that obfuscates it.

@DoomerTapes Only if you were already too close to the edge for your own good.

@Mephitus_Skunk @DocStrangelove2 Let's be honest, even outside of Mormons, the vast majority of "coffee" beverages consumed by the general public are probably 10% actual coffee by volume these days, if that.

@EgoSumRomulus @srsattern @B_1Tactical I hear you. Every time I consider going against my gut and trying to branch out or make some connections, I eventually see something like this go down and it reminds me why I work alone.

@AlexMason1962 @FoobyDude @ChudWarrior1488 @KaptainKrunch97 WWIII was 10 minutes away from popping off in Shanghai and bro was vibing to the elevator music

[Charlemagne @The7thSeraph]

@FoobyDude @ChudWarrior1488 @KaptainKrunch97 Same vibes as Pac from BF4

@A80276641 @s2_underground @BorderHawkNews The overlap between the kink scene and the anarchist agitator scene means a lot of said random buckles and straps become cross-compatible.

@raviollius @UndineImpera @Pirat_Nation Yet another person who can't grasp the concept of being dissatisfied with a something in the moment while still believing it has the potential to improve.

And I flat out said we already know it isn't likely to change anything. Learn to read.

@R1ZZLY_B3AR @UndineImpera @Pirat_Nation "Bozo" says the person whose entire account is reposting into the void with 0 interactions just to hear himself talk. Hope the 30 seconds of attention you got from this thread gives you your dopamine hit for the month.

[Charlemagne @The7thSeraph]

@R1ZZLY_B3AR @UndineImpera @Pirat_Nation I'm not entertaining strawman arguments from people who lack the intelligence to understand it's possible to choose not to blindly support something you're unsatisfied with in the moment yet still believe it has the potential to return to the greatness you know it's capable of.

[Charlemagne @The7thSeraph]

@UndineImpera @Pirat_Nation Not objecting to *Sony* killing Destiny is letting them win without complaint. And signing onto a game I already enjoy on its last day of active life costs me nothing. We all know it's unlikely to change anything, but again, some of us are capable of more than meek acquiescence.

[Charlemagne @The7thSeraph]

@UndineImpera @Pirat_Nation Imagine being such a cold and timid soul that you'd just let corporations win without objection because you don't have the strength to put a modicum of energy into fighting for something you care about.

[Charlemagne @The7thSeraph]

@phillovesdinos @9mmsmg Same logic behind any other example of buying something better than its most basic, minimally functional incarnation. Cars, guns, houses, it's all the same.

[Charlemagne @The7thSeraph]

@shoot_blanks9 @WalPerMott @9mmsmg The proportion of people who dive into watch discourse despite being unable to grasp the fact that watches are in essence men's jewelry at the end of the day is staggering.

[Charlemagne @The7thSeraph]

@9mmsmg I like more eccentric watches and would definitely try a Tudor but man, I can't get past that abhorrent hour hand.
