People always freak the heck out about "omg if you buy a dog from a breeder PI will freak out at you because gotta save the homeless pets!!" and then I know those people have literally not read PI in like 10 years bc lol, literally everyone there has gross weird inbred breeder dogs

PI is poo poo ya but for diff reasons also the DVangels quit the offsite after a big baby tantrum because I wouldnt stop discussing the rules of dog fighting and their bodies were never found

p much PI chilled out about pet stuff like 5 years ago but no one was around to notice

I don't think PI has ever *not* had an offsite in some form or another; but the moderation style got really weird and strict because no one knew what to do with PI (actually this contributed to the weird furmom thing, because anyone who just laughed at people being stupid and moved on was probated; if you didn't type a carefully and politely phrased 5000 word essay about exactly what was wrong with the pet care or problem being posted about you got accused of trolling or shitposting and probated to heck) so while there has always been off sites, PI has p much been totally abandoned because everyone was tired of being forced to post like really serious catmoms Or Else

Theres a new mod now who is prob thus far the least insane since Lioness and it's I guess sort of better but the enthusiasm is gone

poo poo attitudes like this are how you get problem mods like Aatrek. Breed for function in the line, don't just churn out mods and admins to make a quick buck, you sick gently caress.

Please make a PI thread about this, it now has the moderation style PI always wished for but no one knows what to do because we are Very Triggered by posting anything but Serious Cat Facts under threat of ban so PI needs really good threads like this


(I have been posting in PI for a billion years, and 3 of my 4 dogs are from ~breeders~ and I raise and kill my own meat animals and I don't give a poo poo where anyone gets their dog ever, and like 90% of PI is the same, please come post your pet store puggles because no one cares anymore and now we'll just say "cute puggle" as long as you do not pretend your puggle is rare and fancy)

Look I don't see the issue. I just let them run wild in the concrete bunker in my yard. I only occasionally go there for the writers meetings and sometimes I feed/beat them.

I prefer to leave the sub forums for the locals (unless I'm one). No point getting probated for being funny.

I once posted something vaguely positive about Cesar Millan in PI but little did I know that he's the love child of Hitler, Stalin and Satan who put dog training back 60,000 years. You see, dogs are not natural born killers with a fairly strict hierarchy that makes them unstable if you spoil them like furry surrogate children at all.

I'd like to think they just really hate Mexicans.

Games & Lets Play are surreal.just the amount of earnest thought they put into literally the simplest & most lowbrow form of entertainment going is amazing.
maybe im playing them wrong but there are like 2 games (portal2 & gta5) that have plots/characterisation that are a hair above the shittiest of B-movies, yet those guys will have multi-page analyses of literally everything that gets released no matter how banal.

Games is a weird forum in that you'd expect it to be full of people who actually like to play video games, instead of overgrown babies who reactively hate everything in their complete waste of time hobby.

I remember there was this one webcomic that was treated as GBS royalty. It was called "The Perry Bible Fellowship". The plots were easy to understand, as such that even a 6-year-old would immediately get it and laugh. Then GBS read way too much into each comic and wrote pages and pages of meaningless analysis and vitriolic diatribes about poo poo that wasn't there in the first place or even loving mattered. I call this "PBFing".

Imagine there was a forum to "PBF" movies, tv shows, and video games. It would be cinema dicusso, the tv iv, and games. And they're full of unlikable elitist turbo-nerds that post nothing but dumb garbage to reaffirm their own boring lovely lives. seriously I'll never understand CD's collective erection for pacific rim and that terrible dredd movie. And reading the Breaking Bad thread in tv iv was like that scene in pi where the guy drills a hole into his head.

TCC - how many goons in that forum have died? Seriouspost stop doing drugs they are bad.

BSS is exactly what you'd expect from a forum full of elitist comic book nerds. its just sad.

I remember PI had those two people with the President Camacho-looking dog and wouldn't stop posting terrible opinions. That was pretty weird. I'd like to imagine PI has mellowed out but the amount of PI'ers having to come into the thread and defend their normalcy is telling.

in conclusion, *fartzzzzzz*

It's funny because you think that if you spent all your free time doing something you'd probably do it because you like it but the most common posts are bitching about some facet of the game or trying to break games down into the most optimal way to play them, thereby sucking the fun out of them

But FYAD? Not a loving clue. I'ts like a machine just generating random sentences and images.

I've never been to Pet Island but apparently it's so loving weird that it can Agent Smith other threads when you mention it.

Goons in Platoons is really really weird and full of people who probably would have been happier just doing the shoot up a school + suicide by cop thing talking about how much they like killing browns and hate themselves.

edit: actually Let's Play is the weirdest. I still can't believe people do that for entertainment.
