I don’t really know where you’re getting the idea that nobody can joke anymore on serious matters. I see it all of the time, go look at Reddit for example and browse r/news. There’s always at least 50 people making punchline jokes on otherwise serious matters.

The problem is when people expect their jokes to fly in the faces of communities that explicitly state that they don’t want that crap around. Then when the people who joke around are offended, in come cries about freedom of this and freedom of that. Dude, it’s one community, cut it out and go elsewhere. Not everyone should have to tolerate your low-hanging fruit kind of humor.

And a lot of the time too, is that people absolutely DO NOT know when something is stepping over the line. It’s the fault of the individual for not making the line apparent, but when they do, there’s a point where joking is not warranted.

I would’ve loved to have a paypal alternative if so many damn services would adopt them.

And no I’m not talking Google Pay or Apple Pay. They’re just as bad.

Out of everything we have today, Discord is arguably the best we’ve got.

Nobody cares about Skype anymore as much. VK Messenger, which is ICQ’s successor, looks like trash. Telegram used to be very great but did take some morally questionable steps, yet still gives the user an awful lot of power. Zoom is garbage. Microsoft Teams is garbage. Facebook Messenger is garbage.

So if I had to pick, Discord and Telegram is the best we’ve got now.

Yahoo! Messenger shut down in 2018
MSN Messenger discontinued in 2013
AIM Messenger discontinued in 2017

ICQ was really the last of them and it’s ending quite an era. This is, officially, the end of the Messengers.

Accidentally?

Do you respect your own patience by wanting things to just run? Yes - Windows. No - Linux Distro Hopping.

Do you have a fair bit of programming knowledge and a sponge for a brain? Yes - Linux. No - Windows.

Do you love corporate overlords? Yes - Apple. No - Linux. Maybe - Windows.

I’m disappointed that instead of cheering for healthier diets, people deciding to turn to healthier lifestyles, eating less, eating healthier .etc

People are upset for price rises on things that give you only seconds of enjoyment and packs you poundage.

This is more than enough to turn me off from the idea of neural anything in the brains of humans. Especially if it’s all being ran by a fledgling sycophant like Musk.

Even if it’s not drastic, I don’t want to know what the worst case scenario would’ve been.

The world isn’t going to end by nuclear warfare.

It’s not going to end by a great famine.

It’s not going to end by an asteroid.

It’s not going to end by a cataclysmic shift of some sort involving space that’s out of our control.

It’s going to end by plastic.

I don’t hate veganism.

I just don’t like the militant and pompous attitude that some vegans seem to possess, that they feel that they have to flaunt their vegan lifestyles on others over.

Yes, go eat as many vegetables as you like, go eat meat alternatives and whatever. You do you, eat what you want. But I don’t want to ever have someone like that coming up to my face and tell me what I’m allowed to eat in their eyes.

It took 35,000 lives for the US to finally do this?

Yup and another. Oh what a cute little name you have there. Did you peak in middle school when you thought of that name?

Ah yeah, found the shit poster.

This guy is only talking about ANNUAL prices. Yeah of course they’d be freaking expensive, dude. But, really, if one were to pay monthly with ads and know how to block them (seriously, you’re only shooting yourself if you go along with ads), the numbers isn’t too bad.

Good for you but nobody cares. Was that written by a bot, you stupid bastard?

I’ve been hearing about this guy on the radio and how he’s complaining about wokeism and the challenges of comedy that has to do it.

Nobody ever found you funny, Jerry. And if you think you were the star of the show named after you? There were more characters better than you on there.

Police are not therapists and psychologists.

And I don’t understand why any woman votes conservative, knowing that conservatives actively want to destroy their rights. They already done so with abortion.

Mice. Often times they’re branded as rodents and for a reason, because they tend to carry disease on them and aren’t around your home just to be cute either.

The internet is ‘dead’ anyways, what’re you talking about?

People frequent like the same 5 sites anymore. Privacy is clinging onto a thread. Porn has too much influence and control in terms of content. Users are two-faced pricks at a given turn. Too many verification/captcha systems. Too much data farming. Flat, dull and feature-less website designing. Anything that was remotely good got shut down or plugged with ads.

The bots are just the death knoll.

Oh, remember the time when people once thought that bots on the internet was a conspiracy theory? Bet they feel like fools now. Like in this report here
