Yea, so I checked /r/conservative for the first time today. It was a mixed bag. Some people on there seem normal ("has Trump ever said anything remotely useful on twitter?") others are batshit insane or paid actors ("every since the election this sub has been undermined by the radical left").
I say nuke it. Nuke it all. All of the social media. Even if it means losing reddit which I quite enjoy, just fucking nuke it.

I took a peek there earlier today, there's still a lot of the "BLM was worse/why didn't twitter ban democrats encouraging BLM protests".

Better than TheDonald, which seems to be split between trying to start a civil war and mass suicide

Amazon is nuking parler from AWS, so that site is basically dead. Kinda absurd that it took these tech companies until approximately two weeks before it would no longer matter to actually do anything.

I think I got about 3/4 through the game before I started having issues with one of the devices that locate the helmet. Still need to buy a new one :p

It's insanely good though. It's a shame that so few people can get the chance to play it.

So apparently in GTA6 you'll be able to play as a woman and of course keyboard warriors everywhere are rushing to explain how its evil leftist politics and how it's the death of the series.

These thread titles from bots fit perfectly into Eminem lyrics

Look, if you had one shot keto, or one bill maher oil
To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?

I mean, there's a literal feminist rally in RDR2, I think any outrage related to whamen is a little late lol.

Waking up to a danglars ban is bittersweet.

Many of the recent bans made the USPOL thread much more liberal-dominated, but seeing as how much of the internet is full of rightwingers, I think one center-left echo chamber won't hurt.

you know, I was thinking recently as MF DOOM had passed away recently, I don't think I had ever really talked about my bizarre username. I'm sure by now it's obviously ghidorah backwards, but I actually named it after the album Take Me To Your Leader by King Geedorah aka MF DOOM

it was around the time when I had been banned for a while from TL and thought to come shitpost again but wanted to just have a new obscure identity. I was big into using the IRC around this time, and I don't think any current posters used TL-ABL IRC to recall, but I was pretending to be a Japanese exchange student (using that as some kind of cover to explain my skeelz at dota and being unknown prior) and met some neat friends along the way. I'm still good friends with jaaaasper to this day. Some of the old IRC convos and threads were good and I look back on them fondly, like this masterpiece

https://tl.net/blogs/437765-1437-is-a-known-bully-beware

Anyway, no one asked, but I figured it was relevant to share. Hope that you're all doing well, and I know that it's not been explicitly stated often, but I'm glad that I was given very, very many chances and temporary bans on TL (although I didn't break major rules afaik) and am glad that TL is still around to post on today. Cheers
