Vent Thread

@Officer Hotpants
Yup! That's exactly why I hate them so much. Also there's no way to turn them off.

@coolmaster43232
That, too. As well as the shit aspect ratio and the fact that, to my knowledge, you can't fullscreen them.

@Officer Hotpants
I know. I only watch them if on of my subs uploads them. I otherwise try to avoid them.

@Amagan
Not particularly. In fact the mornings have been really nice the past few days.

So I wanted to plug in the old Gamecube; but I couldn't find the AC adaptor. It was in the bottom of a box full of highly compressed plastic bags. But now that I've pulled them out, they take twice as much space, so I had to dump the contents of a second box onto the floor to make room.

@Officer Hotpants
They're only tolerable when added to the watch queue. I don't remember if you can skip around like a normal video or not, but at least you can pause the damn things.

Is it just me or are people getting uglier? People in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s looked better than people today. A lot better.

@UrbanMysticDee
No, you are absolutely correct.

@UrbanMysticDee
People back then were way less obese and addicted to media than as now.
It goes without saying that being a fat slob who does nothing but stay indoors eating junk food while staring at a screen and only moving to grab more food or going to the bathroom can't be good for anyone's looks.

@UrbanMysticDee
Body positivity, fat acceptance, the deconstruction and/or rejection of traditional beauty standards and refusal to adhere to supposedly "rigid" gender norms have all played a part in the decline of standards and increasing tolerance and acceptance of sub standard outcomes. That and fourth wave feminism, progressivism, liberalism, diversity, inclusion and equity have destroy the good that once existed within society.

Tumblr, Twitter and TikTok have bred a generation of mentally weak and unstable freaks.

@UrbanMysticDee
I don't know if they're uglier in the sense of how they were born but a lot of people don't take care of themselves at all, and then on top of that there's a subculture wherein the more ridiculous you make yourself look, the more special you are. You know the type: cat eye glasses several sizes too large, hair done up like a purple & green rooster waddle, a look of permanent derision on their face, etc.

@Officer Hotpants
As well as morbid obesity.

@Officer Hotpants
Nose rings, many nose rings.

@Officer Hotpants
People aren't getting uglier, "ugly people" just aren't being publicly shunned and shamed to the point of not going outside or not being hired for any public facing jobs. As much as before, at least.

@Anonymous #D21E
So where did the attractive and average people go? Did the ugly really outnumber them 10-1 and were just in hiding for decades like morlocks?

This was 2019, the final Bronycon. It sucked. The new management from the previous year ran it into the ground, either deliberately or through incompetence.

I went to the aquarium for almost 6 hours on the second day because the convention itself had turned to shit. In the tropical area some douchebag tried to touch a rare, endangered bird just as I was trying to take a picture of it and it flew away. He made a douchy non-apology. In a just world he'd be tortured and then thrown off a roof.

Yet another hot day where the 80% chance of rain has now turned into 0% chance of rain, ensuring that tomorrow will be just as hot because there's no rain to take away the heat!

Fuck yeah! New Jersey drought of 2022! Make my water taste like chemicals because the reservoir is so low!

The power is out because I don't fucking know why.

@Dex Stewart
Have you been using lots of high-current appliances lately, for example an air conditioning unit?

@IvanSatoru
The whole road had no power. It's back on now, but I don't expect well get any reason why it was shut off when there was no storm.

I can't deal with people that flip out when someone gives negative feedback. This whole culture of only positivity is so absolutely retarded. We got a generation of people that are high on compliments and get shocked when someone is just honest without running circles around the topic and not pampering their asses in anticipation of GASP something negative.

I started noticing it like over 15 years ago on furaffinity and the trend just got worse and worse.

@Seiken

on furaffinity

Ah. There's the problem.

@Officer Hotpants

I was never too active on furaffinity, so i can't relate to it being so terrible as people make it out to be. Being completely no go on negative feedback is just something i noticed there for first time being an issue.

Its everywhere nowadays, and of course also on derpibooru where i received my first 1 day ban for calling the VoiceActing on a clip terrible, explaining why its terrible and pointing out that the VA taking offense at that term is her own problem.

@Seiken
She's trying to mimic the voice and she's doing okay on that, but she's not putting any of the necessary Pinkie energy into it.

Also it's hilarious that the person you were criticizing was more open to having an exchange that the mods watching from the sidelines.

Why are so many Discord accounts getting hacked?
