This literally is it. SJWs never progressed socially past elementary school and absolutely require an adult to tell them not only what to do, but what and when to feel. Peter Pan syndrome but worse (Mary Poppins fixation?)

MrGoatflakes this is exactly what i’ve been saying. we need to stop leading kids by the nose. they should be taught to think for themselves and to make their own choices. when you tell someone from birth what to do, say and think, they will either resent you for being controlling or become mindless.

This comment game me vietnam flashbacks...

@@brendan5260 yep, if you insulate people from the consequences of bad decisions, you rob them of the opportunity to learn to do anything better. Unlimited second chances are a fantasy that evaporates when you inevitably succumb to old age, which havens sooner than everyone thinks. Trying to protect people from every bad consequence is Oedipedal and robs people of life. Not that I believe in people starving in the streets...

LMAOO THIS COMMENT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD

How many? YES!

lmao nice

what? i don't get it

@Gäłøxy that only works if you say something "smart" in response. you're wrong, better luck next time.

That's an awesome idea

To be fair, one of the main reasons Twitter got so toxic is that most of Tumblr migrated there after Tumblr banned porn.

collect all of the twitter users in 1 room and throw a letter that says "hitler did nothing wrong" and watch them tear eachother to bits like rabid wolves

I would go in a heart beat, that would be hysterical

Make sure no one is allowed to leave for the duration of the con and not hire any security staff. It will be like an IRL version of Twitter with life or death stakes. And put cameras on the walls to livestream the whole thing.

My favorite ending is the ball pit ending

KingYertleOfTurtle I can imagine it now: "confused at the apparent abandonment of him by his coworkers, Stanley stepped into a huge room just off the corridor from his office. a room Stanley had never been in, or heard his coworkers even mention, for it appeared totally unremarkable save for the fact that it contained nothing but a small inflatable ball pit. even more befuddled, understandably so given the circumstances, Stanley decided to waste valuable time by jumping in, perhaps as a protest against wanting to do something more meaningful with his life. but of course, given that Stanley was in what seems to be a state of shock-induced procrastination, it seems unlikely that Stanley wouldn't want to at least get moving again and go through the door at the end of the ball pit room. *cough* I SAID Stanley finally decided to get up and move the story along a bit."

I read that in Stamper's voice.

quixotic rage Tbh a lot of it is pretty chill. But with the events they were advertising (Nightvale reading, steampunk band, the fact that they called it a 'con') its obvious they were trying to pull in the nerd crowd (no offense). I remember people sharing and making fun of the event and it's attendees on Tumblr but really didn't get a good look at the whole thing until now and I gotta say, this funniest shit I've ever seen.

Dana Baldus they got cucked too

Dana Baldus thats pretty standard for any con really. Promise room and food. get a spot on a cold floor with 10 other nerds, they run out of food on friday, cant find the people to get paid on sunday, whoever runs it has you on block by monday.

Only standard for shitty failed cons

Yeah, that's a situation where you convince the other helpers to leave as soon as they run out of food. They need you, not the other way around.

It's okay, they all probably preach communism. They should get used to going hungry.

Yeah. It got worse when everyone from tumblr invaded Twitter and pushed their views into every part of the internet. All because of a pron ban Still it seems things are shifting to be better now with a lot of these people being called out for the stuff they do

Heh! I might start paying again just for that reference.

In my faith, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" they encourage us to read the doctrine ourselves, and get our own testimony of the truth. They're very clear about what is the truth and what isn't, but they want us to ask questions so we can get answers. They even put up essays online about some of the ugly truths of the early church. Granted those essays aren't nearly as damning as all the accusations surrounding those accounts, but the Church cites all of their sources (in all of their writing) so people can actually fact check it.
