MegaGatts: Dec 12, 2004; The Enteroctopus dofleini, also known as the giant Pacific octopus (GPO) or North Pacific giant octopus, is a large marine cephalopod belonging to the phylum Mollusca and is tripping balls.

The for real answer is a a bit over a year ago GBS became such groupthink fuckers people were giving away money they were going to use to buy christmas presents for their children so a guy in bumfuck alabama could open a hotdog stand. There was seriously a goon who gave 1500 american dollars to a guy who, surprise surprise, turned out to be pretty racist. The goon gave some half assed justification and if it were a better forum he would have, rightfully, been bullied until he cried. Instead the worst kind of liberal tards agreed it was a cool thing to do and gave the guy thousands of dollars.

The second half of it was a mod in TVIV made a little girl touch his dingdong and people were being banned and probated for bringing it up. Then with these two things the mods just said "gently caress it" and turned GBS into a nomans land that lasted for a few months. Then some minor rules came in like keeping a bunch of dumb poo poo confined to the colorful thread. Now we have this. It's a mean place that lost 2000 people from it's pre NU GBS peak but it's better for the most part. I would be nice if more people posted though.

Am I the only person that is bothered by Chrome's inspector showing you the defined font stack but not the actual rendered font? Not that this is applicable because Open Sans is the only defined font, but still.

If I recall, GBS had like a "Hey let's just loving act like FYAD for a day" and no one listened to the mods when they said stop.

Now it's the wild west of SA, including how it smells.

The Dennis System: Aug 4, 2014; Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
