if they make one stupid joke/nod to the fact that Ariel is black in the new little mermaid movie I'm gonna be so disappointed. surely they know better, right?

things that make you go hmm maybe putting the internet into the hands of one or two giant mega-corps isn't a great idea and maybe we should fix the system that allows DDOS to occur

damn it. this is such a frustrating thing to search. 100% of the results are just people telling you that you should never have 150 concurrent queries and that OBVIOUSLY you have a dns loop somewhere.

bitch, i have a very large network, which includes at least 2 archivewarrior devices and my wife's work computer which spams DNS requests at a mind boggling rate when not connected to the vpn.

SOMETIMES WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WE NEED TO ACTUALLY ADJUST THE SETTING. BITCH.

one of my favorite media tropes is someone on cable news trying to explain what 4chan is and inevitably fucking it up

something very cool about asking stable diffusion to make its own icon for itself.

@gme some people care a lot

i picked that image cause his reaction video to the WOKE trailer popped up when i was trying to search for it. he was big mad. claimed it totally wasn't her skin color, it was the "disrespect" for the source material.

remember when the most annoying thing online was an sjw chastising you for saying something vaguely problematic online?

i long for those days. now we have to listen to chuds like this be aggressively upset about the fall of western civilization cause the little mermaid is black now.

the thing about endless bewjeweled is that theres no shame in fucking up a 4 or 5 stack. there will always be more stacks.

i think thats beautiful.

@straw ok that makes more sense.
