The Weak LeftistDiscussions: :wojak-nooo: I disagree with what you’re saying, but I respect your right to say it, now tell us your social security number and address, ignore the flower van outside your house and tell us about your plans to protest

I was at a farm recently and I kept returning to the pig… I didn’t want to miss it pooping on its own balls. I knew it wasn’t going to happen - if it had happened before then surely I would have received a picture - but I just kept on waiting for it, circling those giant balls like a vulture. That’s the part of communism that nobody warns you about.
yeah let me give my take on the USSR and the PRC in one fucking sentence. I’m a fucking leftist for crying out loud, I need four fucking books if you want my opinion.
If I had the patience to run something like this, I wouldn’t give a shit what people’s takes were as long as their response is in wall-of-text leftist meme format.
:geordi-no: China good.
:geordi-no: China bad. (also a very boring take)
:geordi-yes: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity …

show, don’t tell. Set the scene for the reader. Make them feel like they were in the maternity ward on that warm august day in 1997. They had just eaten a big mac while they wait outside the delivery room their girlfriend is in. Limp Bizkit is on the radio and they have to occupy their time with a Reader’s Digest from the week of January 13, 1992. One of the stories is about a guy who encountered a family of grizzly bears hiking in Idaho and lived to talk about it.
Maybe I’m just old as fuck, but Discord seems like a medium that’s literally impossible to have a discussion on. It might as well be an endless auto-generated scroll.
It depends on the size of the discord, ~20 people seems to be about the maximum the format can handle.
I’m at least one person using it that way, the Discord I hang out on for a league is like that. Going on like “youtube e-celeb official” is pretty much impossible to follow any sort of conversation.
As an Old, I agree. I tried and it honestly feels like a step backwards. I think Yahoo chat rooms had more meaningful discussions.
It freaks me out… too much sensory input at once. I miss the pre-Reddit era of niche messageboards.
I have that feeling looking at Twitch chat sometimes and I’m a zoomer lol
