I can't figure out snapchat.

I recently rejoined Facebook for the first time since 2011 due to it having groups that I can't find anywhere else (Canadians in Australia) and my friends list is a ghost town. No one under 40 posts anything. Weird that it killed almost all forums but may not outlive SA.

BTW, when you overhear your co-workers giggling about some "weird" porn thing they just heard of and you come over and it's the tamest bullshit you can imagine like cucking or a threesome, try not to wonder just how much you'd freak them out if you told them half the poo poo you've seen on this god forsaken website.

My sister-in-law had a party for a big promotion and they rented a margarita machine. I had no coherent way to explain why that was so funny to me.

I've built probably 10-12 dozen of these machines in my day so I can field any of your questions. If you're looking for blue prints, I've never drawn any. I know some of the new-jack magarita machine enthusiests like to plan everything out before hand, but if you ask an old timer like myself you need to just start building. If you have an old juke box that would be a good place to start.

And also try not to turn this thread into an old school vs. new school magarita machine building style argument like all the other threads.

edit: Here's a picture of one of my most recent rigs. She runs at about 8 mpm, which is pretty good considering it's built from an old drill press and a transistor radio.



Sadly, a lot of the increasingly absurd pictures have vanished.


I pretty much can't even see the word margarita without thinking of industrial pumping equipment and "margaritas per minute"

I'd like to know exactly what site it was that linked to the USPS goldmine when I was back in high school. I'd have never heard of this place if not for that. I think my account was one of the first things I got on my first credit card.

I would say at this point in time, the way SA has ruined me is in how I react to my gf who not only reddits (at least she only reads, doesn't post poo poo), but watches a poo poo load of youtube including the likes of rooster teeth and worse, philip defranco. Oh, you're watching those cool dudes again sitting around a table talking about nothing and making millions for it?

1) my humor has darkened significantly, but so have my friends so we're still on the same page. Literally anyone else though? Nope.
2) Any other website appears to have worse userbases. Either people are too fanatical, fragile, or so new to the internet that they sign their posts, use ... too much, or designate sarcasm with /s or something.

I wanna get my friends to join SA but the one guy I purchased an account for went directly to one of the more insular, elitist subforums Cinema Discusso to talk about whatever and got a bad taste in his mouth. I think that pretty much ruined it for him.

my other friends say they miss reading forums, but don't want to join SA. They just read reddit instead. :smith:

Honestly if most goons weren't so bad at learning new technology a lot of the shine would wear off SA because most of the most popular threads are either just people reposting content from other platforms (the Simpsons memes thread, any .txt thread or news thread) or are glorified chat threads that would work better as a Discord channel for the same handful of users that keep going to it directly from their user control panel day after day. It's also why goons think every other meme ever made originates here because it was just the first place they saw it at.

I don't do this but between having seen the creation of Slenderman (that and Obama's inauguration are the only history I've ever watched in real time) and Lowtax mocking Slenderman games on Gaming Garbage I have zero fear of and mild contempt for Slenderman. And anything SCP-related. And by extension a lot of horror movies. For comparison, when The Exorcist was re-released in 2000 and I caught a glimpse of the spider walk on the stairs and slept with the lights on for a week. I was twenty years old.

This is somewhat true. However I would say there are still some more serious threads on SA that tend to have a much higher quality of discussion compared to places that allow anyone to post for free. Discord could be a replacement for the people that chat but there are still lurkers on SA with or without accounts and they may not get the invite if a discord was put together.
I think there are still things that set it apart but the comfort level/habit of going to SA for these things probably explains somewhat more of the loyalty of its members compared to the actual content. At the same time there is some degree of camaraderie here and in jokes that people only get if they've been here a long time, or if they've learned about them second hand. People take that for granted but it really is unique and can't be totally replaced without losing something, however intangible it may be.
I'm gonna miss this shitass place when/if it's gone before I am. Even if it has warped my brain in some ways. That's the way I likes it and I ain't a-changin fer nothin dag nabbit

What the gently caress is wrong with you man? Did Lowtax kill your pets? I haven't seen a single post out of you that wasn't just making GBS threads on the website/goons or being the most depressing motherfucker on the planet.

For an actual reply to your nonsense diarrhea I don't recall goons trying to take credit for anything that didn't originate here offhand. Maybe some examples?

The AUG thread changed titles and I forgot about the dog cockteeth. That's a thing I'm never telling or showing anyone because they wouldn't find it blackly funny and would just think I was a horrible pervert to even know about its existence. And god forbid I try to explain or unpack that poo poo.

I mean, people at my work are just now learning about 2 girls 1 cup. They aren't prepared to learn about cockteeth, much less able to comprehend the mind behind cockteeth or why it's so horribly hilarious.

I've seen too much. And there is always more. Every day I stray further and further from my peers.
