I swear…either I’m stupid, or this site is becoming infested with bots that give nonsensical replies.
Been happening more and more where I see a reply, and I have no idea what to make of it. This one isn’t even words! Just a picture of a sleepy goth jock.
And what percentage of the country do you think fits your description? Linux recently celebrated an all time high desktop userbase of 5%.
I don’t know MacOS usage, but I can’t imagine it’s any more than 10%.
That leaves 85% as Windows users. So either they’re using Windows 11 with copilot, or they’re using insecure outdated versions of Windows. I’m sure there’s still more WindowsXP users than linux users out there.
About 10 years ago there was an ASL search greasemonkey script as a browser extention.
Funny thing about that is, it was made by a gay guy who disabled the ability to search for women. And when people asked him about it, he said some things that I will not repeat here, but just know it was like if toxic masculenity also took on the form of abusive and hateful commentary.
Within a week somebody released an alternate version of that script with modified code that let you search for anyone. And as Fetlife is a very all inclusive site, the revised script also had options for numerous variations of trans. Basically every gender identity you can think of was included in the updated script.
Fetlife couldn’t control use of the script, but they could detect it. Which they then banned users for using it. Since that time the script no longer works. Fetlife did something behind the scenes to disable it.
Oh he’s causing mischeif alright. Look at those eyes. He’s plotting how to destroy modern society, and replace it with ancient Egyptian society, which worshipped cats as gods. Also, he will be replackng paper currency as money with catnip.
The other cats know the cat code. You don’t mess with another cats spot. Messing with the cat however is strictly encouraged.
It’s Sunday afternoon, and there are a few things that I gotta do! And I’m gonna do em, I’m gonna do em!
Meanwhile on Sunday afternoon…
“I’m looking at pictures of lazy cats instead…”
It reminds me of Fetlife.
If you’ve never heard of Fetlife, it’s a fetish social network. At least that’s what it markets itself as. In reality, everyone on fetlife knows what it is.
It’s a fetish dating site. And also a fetish hookup site.
But the thing is, lets say I’m a male between the ages of 18 and 65. And I want to find a woman, in my city, who is single, and into monogamy…and also a whole list of fucked up fetishes. Don’t worry, these women would ALSO list these fetishes as interests so it’s consentual.
As a fetlife user you can’t do that. You can’t search by gender. You can’t filter by age. You CAN see who’s available by city, but you literally get EVERYBODY in that city. It’s more like getting a whole phone book, rather than a filtered search list.
So it just ends up being way harder to use than it should be. They claim it’s to “protect women”, but that’s bullshit. Women are not these defenseless creatures who need you to break your whole search system to shield them from the world. Also, there’s an easy fix for that. You add search opt out in your own personal settings. They already have the ability to limit who can message you, it would not be hard to add a checkbox that says “remove my profile from search”.
I’d be good with that. I just want to search women in my area, who share my interests, are single and monogamous, and want to be messaged. The system they have makes that SUUUUUUPER hard.
That was my thought process too.
“This app helps you make friends without algarhythems, or ads, or data tracking”
“Cool! How do I use it?”
“By having friends.”
“But I don’t have friends anymore! I’m over 30, and as work and responsibilities have taken over my daily life, I no longer have the time required to maintain healthy friendships. I was looking to this app to make new friends. How would I do that here?”
“By having friends”.
I can remember Hot or Not being before Friendster. I don’t know when it started, but I found it around 2000.
For anyone unaware, the idea was simple. Go to the website, and you’d be presented with a random picture. Could be male, could be female. You could adjust these settings to be more specific as to which pictures you’d get.
But basically, you’d see a picture. Then you vote. Hot? Or not? And after you vote, you can see another picture to vote on, as well as the score from the previous voted on picture.
That’s it. Thats the whole thing. No messaging. No interacting. Nothing. Just you having an account that you upload a single picture to. Then other people can randomly get the chance to vote on you, and you can also check your own score. The ONLY other thing you could do is share your URL with friends. Usually through AIM or YIM or ICQ or MSN Messanger.
I really think that concept was ahead of its time. I think it would have worked really well as an app in 2016.
Hey! Whoa! C’mon! That’s not fair to say at all! I’m sure Bozo may be a clown, but he values scientific discovery much more than these assholes! Why you gotta insult Bozo like that???
The rarely depicted dracatula. It still bites you, and draws blood, but has no interest in drinking the blood. Until the blood dries. Then it bites again. Always blood. Always doors open.
Having a plan, or getting tackled by 50 sweaty football players?
You forgot how cats are cats. That could be anything! He could be doing taxes like that, sleeping like that, or maybe he’s just got into the catnip again! The choices are endless when cats don’t believe in reality…
Wait until this guy gets wind of his smarttv, copilot on windows, and even his thermostat and refridgerator are all plotting against him.
“Are we the baddies?”
Ooooooh, I like trains! But uhhhh, lets skip East Palestine Ohio…
Well then we need to start licking these cats!
…wait, is that why women are so obsessed with their boyfriends licking pussy? I thought they just wanted orgasms! Turns out they just wanted their boyfriend to enjoy cheeto dust, AND keep their kitty well groomed at the same time!
Well, that was before Reagan.
…I feel sad. I never had a PSP. To me, the PSP feels like “That new Sony handheld”. Then I hear it was released like 25 years ago, and that can’t be true.
So I go look in the mirror, and expect to see my own young babyface. You know people are always saying I look way younger than I am. Constantly getting carded to buy alcohol…they always think I’m 15!
But as I look in the mirror, I no longer see the youthful face that would get carded. Instead the old man in the mirror looks more like my father…if my father had any balls to grow his hair out like a rockstar. But still…it has gone grey. The hairline a slight bit receeded.
This can’t be MY face! Who is this stranger? And then I remember. Years spent wasting my time in a relationship that didn’t love me. Years spent in a house filled with rats which I didn’t have the authority to exterminate. Years dealing with cancer from living in a rat infested hellhole. Somewhere in all that covid was a thing until it wasn’t.
And now, this face looks back at me, still thinking of the PSP as new, and I only have one question…
“What the hell is a Vita???”
