Wasn't there a copypasta about people who posted like that?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Trying to find the infamous "Navy Seal" copypasta, and, as usual, AI was sooooo helpful. This kind of blocking doesn't make any sense, as the Google page is was on contained dozens of direct references to it.

Googles "AI" responding to a search (not intended to use AI) for "copypasta tough guy post" with (in essence) "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that." Because it has naughty words.

I remember when people who wanted to mod games hung out on bulletin boards and would meet up in person to swap floppy disks. There was a whole culture of hacking the game's startup screens to show "Cracked By Mr. Crakhed!" or whatever, so you know who stole it for you.

Screen of a pirated copy of "Rescue Raiders" showing the cracker's handles and a BBS number.

Saw this cartoon in High School. Somehow, still a relevant reply to so many topics.

Two scientists looking at a chalkboard with complex equations on the left and right, but in the middle, "Then a miracle occurs". One says to the other "I think you should be more specific here in step two."

They will. They'll also talk about "the censorship industrial complex" under Biden.

To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink.

Clearly, he just needs to shoot up a more testosterone. Having said that, I now thought of this.

Classic panel from "Cerebus the Aardvark", in which Cerebus, asked to bless a baby, does so, and then hurls it away with great force, teaching the lesson "You can get what you want and still not be happy."

Most have 2 files: An excel file which did the basic math, and a word doc where I fleshed it out. A handful have no Word file. For whatever reason, they weren't finalized. Again, I have no real memory of what I planned, but this sure LOOKS like I was inventing Moopsy in 2009. #Pathfinder #TTRPG

Portion of an Excel file w/stats for something I called a "Bonesucker" in Pathfinder 1e, without anything in the way of detail beyond bare-bones calculations. It has a "Bone Dissolution" power, but what mechanics I imagined at the time are long forgotten.

So, looking through some old files, and found a folder of #Pathfinder 1e monsters I made, probably for a sourcebook. I do not really remember making them, but I humbly submit they're pretty cool. I may use them as a cheap-and-easy blog entry. #TTRPG

Intro to "Deadsoul Elementals", a type of elemental undead.

This is a class ability for a Pathfinder 1e "Noble" type class for a space opera game. I am currently calling it "Pull Rank". However, I am considering "Do You Know Who I Am?" or "I Demand to Speak To Your Supervisor". I would like feedback on which name is best.

The Elite reminds someone lower in the social hierarchy of that fact. They may use their Diplomacy skill in place of Intimidate to bully someone, and gain a +1 to the check (increasing with higher levels) if the target is their level or lower.

Well, there's the rub. It is indeed very heterogeneous and personal. My own need for spirituality, which is mine, and no one else needs to share it, is that this simple, almost cliche, thought gives me all the awe, wonder, and meaning I personally need in my life.

Given enough time, hydrogen starts to wonder where it came from and where it is going.

I'd mentioned that fandom has always been somewhat toxic, but the site I relied on to prove this had gone dark. Fortunately, I found a similar site (link following). So here's a 1935 article declaring the genre dead. No new ideas, we're done.

Article from the 1935 issue of "The Phantagraph", asking if Sci-Fi is in a rut, and concluding "yes".

Alignment? Wait, you can fix AI by just saying "You are LG. If you deviate from your alignment, you will lose several levels and must take a long and dangerous atonement quest."?? Someone mark out where the leading AI models are on this!

From those knee-jerk pinko commie leftists at... National Review? www.nationalreview.com/2026/09/an-a...

When you ponder the era in which I’m writing this, I hope you see it as a ridiculous anomaly. In the space of two weeks, the president of the United States suggested that New Mexico be renamed “New America,” posted a computer-generated video of himself cosplaying as the Green Lantern, called a New York Times reporter by the name of Maggie “Maggot,” posted a graphic ranking himself as the greatest president in U.S. history, and moved to mothball the Kennedy Center because courts blocked his effort to add his name to the building. To cap this all off, he offered American voters a $5,000 bribe to elect Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

Rather than take the L and admit he got fooled by Clever Hans, Stancil says “Prove rocks aren’t conscious.” This resembles how Scott Adams got started on his long spiral to madness and irrelevancy. “I’m just exploring ideas“ seems to lead to ideas like “vaccines are evil” and “white genocide”.

Establish it, then. Prove it to me.

Every step on the road from ENIAC to Claude is mapped, charted, and known. There's no discontinuity. There's no place where you say, as in the old cartoon, "then a miracle occurs".
