It's a joke about Canadians being super polite. 'You should have sworn, oh you're Canadian, okay that makes sense why it is polite'

Feel like we need to apply it to CEOs of any company worth more than a billion dollars as well

Did you watch the Ring video

It really is... To think so much of this started because of Cameron's arrogance. Like I hate being in the US, but I'll take that over England, though ideally Canada or Ireland nowadays.

000

Yea, it's...horribly sclerotic, honestly. And then we have nonsense like England lately just being nearly as awful sa America

I was lucky/fortunate enough to have done this years ago in preparation for this moment. Hoped it wouldn't, but here we are. I love so much about California, but the cost of living is killer.

They're right though? At the moment it's ruled by Nazis. We /may/ get a chance to vote these fascists out and then we need to demand Nuremberg 2.0

And I will not be watching because who cares what a serial liar and pedophile says? Release the unredacted Epstein files.

I had it for the first time a couple years ago and was shocked at how delicious it was. So gooood, you're in for a treat

That is my kind of super dorky reference, I am here for what you put down :D

Exactly this. It's one thing if someone is doing something like engaging in Holocaust denial, but who cares about being a bit too horny?

000

But then how will I get sucked down a giant hole of ETERNAL DISCOURSE And sanity! It's meant to be squandered on social media ,right???

Great thread. And the moral of this story I think is this keeps happening until we gate social media with the only tool that works: Registration Fees. Pay $20 for an account, get banned for being obnoxious, a ton of this becomes far easier to handle (because reg fees pay for paid moderation)

121

Oh wait, ADULT life. Okay fair, those extra 10 years matter a ton, haha

Fit into my entire life and I'm not even 40 yet >.<

That one I missed, but am trying to look it up right now.

Nuanced discussion is impossible, because the moment you question certain dogmas, you open yourself for dogpiling, and of course who wants to agree and invite the mob onto them? I bite my tongue so much more around fellow queers because I know saying any kind of 'Grow up / get stronger' goes badly

Eli @rpgirl.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

I do think 'People' is a good qualifier. Most of what I see in the trans-on-trans dogpiling is usually transwomen infighting. But one thing I see in the entire trans community is there is simply not a demand for people to grow up. We allow and reward people behaving like High School Mean Girls.

Granted I'm still somewhere in Season 2, I thiiink, it's been a bit and I need to get back to things :o

This thing isn't alive. It can't say anything. It's literally a fancy prediction engine. It 'apologized' because the math said that was the most likely respond to the prompt asking it to apologize. Stop falling for a Cuckoo mimicking a human. Actually that's an insult to the cuckoo.

Hey now, your IT guy is surprisingly good at cracking passwords.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

For how everything it is, the manga is a surprisingly wholesome tale of a really weird Found Family.

Plenty of stuff to loathe him for, but I am referring to the pre-Twitter cave incident specifically; beforehand he was at least playacting at being a good person.

The pedophile thing was years before he bought Twitter.

100

Oh, plenty of reasons to loathe. But that was the beginning of his mystique rupturing, which is what drove him mad.

070

He was always a dipshit. Beforehand, I think he was trying to be better than he was (But still a dipshit)

Eli @rpgirl.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

Elon wouldn't even be hated if he had not called that one guy a pedophile and learned to be laughed at from time to time But then he wouldn't be Elon. And now he's a Nazi, so fuck him

I feel this too. Like, usually I just don't know and want to learn? And I've learned I have to be super careful for fear of getting bitten out of honest curiosity.

Lebowski is absolutely a classic, but it also runs on multiple levels. I feel like, Clerks ages well too

Yea, I could buy that. Dude Where's My Car still (mostly (because the transphobia is shitty)) hits well for me, but also I was AMAB and all so its kinda my HS-era humor

Oh it mostly does suck, its just when you are baked AF it hits right. And I'll still watch it, because at least right now the cravings hit regardless. So its not really /worse/ for me, but it's also only been ~3 months so I am hoping it lessens over time

Fair, fair, fair. I feel the same way somewhat with stoner stuff now, since I'm staying off it and seeing weed use makes me crave stuff hard

Ahh, maybe Michael Schur works just dont click for you then!

Yea, whereas like, Dwight being cringe is funny because Dwight is such a huge jerk in an unlikeable way, kinda? Whereas Michael Scott is likably cringe, I guess? I feel like my wording is clumsy but like I want to prank Dwight in a way I never would with Michael

Yea. I /like/ The Office, but I've never rewatched it because even if Michael Scott is a fool and a jerk, watching him be that cringey just is soooooo painful

The pilot is one of the weaker episodes. I'd try Episode 3 if you need one to start with and can't handle the pilot - It's the first one that really shows the heart that's embedded in Greendale.

For me, even though I barely ever drink, I just love seeing the Gang do awful shit and then suffer for it. And it's so self aware - like, it breaks every taboo it can, but in a way that...holds up 20 years later? It ages like fine wine, basically.

And you can just do more absurdist situations (usually, Community being huge notable exception) when your characters are partial/total jerks

120

Cringe humor is hard for me, because I am so empathetic I cringe with them. So Parks & Rec always hit better for that reason (After S1); but I usually prefer stuff like Always Sunny or The Good Place because the characters being more...bad people? Kinda works for me better.

Community. It's a 6 season long meditation on the art of TV & Film-making, as well as humanity in general, through the lens of an increasingly delightfully absurdist Community College. There's just something so /cozy/ about it.

Right, well, we think we're bringing in someone new for the role. Purchase? Ray Purchase? Please come into the booth.
