GBS 2.0 was what drove me away from the forums for years, and I only really came back in like 2016 after the culture had started to swing back towards "being a little poo poo for laughs is pathetic actually"

I definitely still miss having a good current events forum, GBS 1.0 was good at being that. Now D&D is just absolutely tedious and C-SPAM is great for blowing off steam but also the intersection of every conspiracy theory ever.

The takeaway from that too is that bank transfers done using the official API were done using an exact string match for the guild name instead of a unique ID for the guild.

Oooh I love sparrows! They’re extremely perfect borbs. Hopefully they stick around for more of your standup routine soon!

Still remains

As someone whose childhood was entirely free of religion I'm not sure it is possible to express how insane and terribad the Abrahamic faiths seem to me.

Fundamentalist extremists of every stripe are pretty terrible. I think it’s awfully shortsighted to view it as an innate trait of religions of that specific ancient shared origin and not the broader problem of authoritarian (religious or not) leaders acting like authoritarians.

Like compare Reform Judaism to hasidism and they’re two wildly different practices and belief systems, because the reform community isn’t ruled over by a bunch of authoritarians who use religious extremism as a means of social control.

Also I’m a reconstructionist because y’know even reform had too many rules for me. :v:

As someone who was once an edgelord internet atheist, I don't think I can express how humbled I am by how faith can be a source of joy, hope, compassion and self-esteem to the marginalized and oppressed. Especially those who live in communities that use aspects of that same faith as an excuse for oppression.

Also this. I really have limited patience for internet atheism because they judge the worth of every religion by the absolute worst people who claim to practice that religion.

Like just to put it in perspective there are maybe 75,000 Satmar jews. Out of 14.8 million jewish people worldwide. That’s half a percentage point of crazy fundies, they’re not representative of Jewish practice.

Continuing the religion derail,

UUs are good people. So are quakers, and I know for a fact that outside the sphere of Christianity you can find the same concentration of “atheist or not traditionally theist” people in reconstructionist jewish congregations.

Although really the very concept of god in Judaism isn’t the same as the Christian version of god to begin with, I have atheist friends who are modern orthodox and have no trouble reconciling that with their practice.

And here’s a bird for your time.



On the topic of goon guilds though, FF14’s are really good and probably have the lowest concentration of assholes I’ve ever encountered in an MMO. Everyone is just super kind and supportive.

Also P&W was fun because we were just there to run off the 4chan elements and with full communism in the game it was extremely easy for us to pool resources and become a powerhouse while all the individual channers and nazis stubbornly refused to cooperate with each other.

Here at Something Awful we've realized that killing politicians isn't actually very funny until you get to something like the scale of the french revolution. There's just not too many laughs to be had when one shithead will be replaced with another equal shithead - it's far funnier when you're actually swapping the heads around.
