I like to think that I'm just sleeping on Kiwi Farms' couch until I can find another forum that captivates me the way SA used to.

Came across this funny little moment of realization in the PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds thread. It's like they don't even realize how pathetic the forum has become.

To be a fly on the wall of the conversation where he tries to apply for a server.

"So, you want a private server. Alright, let's hear your pitch. Sell me on it."

"Well, we're the same forum that used to harass people in various games a decade ago."

There is a GBS thread about a prison re-entry program. I am suprised at the about of homophobia and transphobia aka some real talk

What people who are trans might be suffers of abuse

Homophobic, maybe a little, but I don't see anything transphobic. Those posts seem uncharacteristically reasonable for gbs.
 
Lowtax has been tweeting some communist shit without a hint of irony. I assume ZDR has now officially removed his skin and is wearing him like a coat
 
Yeah it causes a feedback loop. Once you pick a side you'll get more positive feedback from that side and the negative feedback from the lunatics at the far end of the other side will push you even further
 
There is literally nothing wrong with antisemitism.
The term is counter-semitism, ok.

Oh no, much simpler. The goon money isn't flowing to allow him to live his lazy lifestyle for much longer so as a person without any skills he hopes for a communist revolution to get free gibs.

Jokes on him, he would be among the first against the wall.

It's actually far broader than Twitter, you can see it on any site. I'd recommend logging into Free Republic or rationalwiki to see what 19/1o years of hotboxing on your beliefs will do to your mind. Combined with other issues and this is producing a generation of batshit insane people, It's why I make a point of taking a lot of stuff on the farms with a pinch of salt.

Speaking of money problems lowtax posted an announcement that forum revenue for the summer is 8% of where it's supposed to be. Since Xenforo 2 has been delayed he decided to use money raised for the forum migration to keep the current forums running. He's totally not using it for personal expenses!

Modern companies make money off of data mining and feeding you content. It builds your own personal echo chamber. It's capitalism at it's finest. We all get better and more efficient on our way towards automation. It's automated consumption, or at least delivery.

What on earth was that thread supposed to be about?

lowtax has an abortion of a mcmansion he's tryna sell because mangosteen, hope and e-cred can't pay its million-dollar mortgage. apparently you need a source of income other than dead gay forums and 15 year old jokes to live his jet-setting ambien-and-child-support lifestyle.

despite his stupidity i genuinely feel bad for him sometimes, he could've been a contender but ended up as just some internet has-been stuck in 2003. people remember the internet culture he helped create but nobody gives a shit about him.

I don't feel bad for Lowtax at all. He could have cashed out for millions but instead chose to die on a hill of his own arrogance, fuck him.

He is going on a tirade in GBS right now, things must be pretty bad.

What's funny is he is still completely ignoring any rational advice and is just complaining about his inability to do anything while ranting about krusty the clown or something. I give SA till January.
