I tried being a moderator on a forum once, and after alerting admins and the FBI about csam less than a week in, I decided I was done being a moderator.

It was a forum for RC stuff, mostly diy rc planes.

Unfortunately, therapy only helps you cope, it doesn't let you forget.

Cop: stop resisting! He's got a gun! bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

Cop: I feared for my life, I smelled the crazy drug and everything went black, the sun was in my eyes, et cetera

Interviewer: did you just literally say "et cetera" like you're reading from a script?

Cop: I don't recall.

Wait no, driver's white. Carry on.

Even IF we are ALLOWED to vote next year and beyond, and IF we manage to pull our heads out of our asses, we will be fixing this mistake for decades.

And if we aren't allowed to vote.... Well, I hope we remember the cure for fascism soon. Actually strike that, it implies I'm willing to wait 1-3 years to find out, I want the people to remember the cure now.

I can only imagine what bullshit I'm going to hear over the next few years about why the US isn't doing well but the EU and Canada are.

I've had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.

The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.

With the way most translators I've used work, it's easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won't.

That's my thought process anyway.

Never had anyone who wasn't pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I've had tons of conversations with people I'd never have talked to otherwise.

See, he ASSUMES there's "no way to win" and that this judge will always, regardless of anything else, strike down things because they're "against republicans/trump/whoever"

Why?

Because that's exactly what they would do, are doing, plan to do in the future, and can't imagine a world where someone else isn't just as shitty as they are.

Projection. Insecurity.

I mean, there's no way to win, but that's because this is one of those things that can't be ignored and absolutely should result in consequences. I'm not hopeful that real consequences will be had though.

The indomitable human spirit.

Also known as "the ability to exist out of pure spite, because FUCK YOU I ain't collapsing over THIS bullshit."

Current us administration: Let's close the department of education and make secondary education all but impossible.

Nothing says "we are a free and open community that welcomes others" like moderators banning discussion of poor moderation.

Yes, I do understand what the rule is there for. No that doesn't make it any less hilariously shitty.

hider to wear all black clothing and be small.

Now I'm imagining a chibi style anthropomorphic plane wearing all black clothes trying to be sneaky.

You did this to me.

Armada and Armada 2.

I really like RTS games.

Oh well the answer is obvious, as Ellen Mosque once said, no plane is actually a stealth plane because cameras can still see them, so canards obviously don't make a difference!

I came here for certified noncredibility, not verifiable facts.

Whatever the fuck I feel like, damn.

Nosey ass search engine...

Lower Decks has become a comfort show for me and as soon as I finish it, I want to start over.

If you feel like you have to ask, you probably already know the answer.

I say "trap" but I don't kill anything, and they don't die.

It's just a sacrificial post I keep near the wood I want them to leave alone.

They're alive and well in their 2x4s

Oh don't you worry, I'm just waiting for the day she speaks directly to me about these things because I will absolutely whip out the Bible and inform her that she has no right to speak in my presence, nor is she permitted to attempt teaching.

If you're gonna bring your bigoted book into it, it's fair game for me to use too.

It's not owned by me, but it's tended by me for now. I also am tending to my parents yard this summer, and trying to transplant clover around their yard. Sofar the patches are still green but it's not quite growing time yet to see how well it'll take hold.

I don't understand why everyone in the aviation community seems to hate canards and atthis point in too afraid to ask why...

No I am Unidan Gallowboob!
