I've known that trick to crash computers for years now, and I think anyone that took their time to Google "how to crash your computer" would know that too.

Do they actually think crashing computers permanently damage them? I thought they'd be a little more tech literate than that.

The guy who added that in was permabanned, just so you know.

It's more of an liability issue, from my understanding.

Sure, it's an Darwin Award for going through with it, but you never know what people will sue for, nowadays.

Not fucking surprised.

Every day we stray further from God's light.

I couldn't help but act confused at the last sentence in this part of an article about a YouTuber for children. The way they chose to announce this fact is quite weird:

Shit has hit the fan! (Archive)

Fighteer wants to have his cake and eat it. A volley of vicious insults, followed by the permabanning of anyone else who is mildly snarky. It's a contradiction; a child can see.

It gets dumber. He offended the sizable leftist contingent on TVT after driving all the conservatives out.

My opinion was expressed about the video, not about the members in the thread

Bzzt! Wrong answer, you cunt.

You said that anyone calling for economic justice is either a MAGA troll or fellow traveler.

Fighteer insulted the fans of Jim Sterling just by arguing with them. Both sides started throwing shit. Feelings were hurt, but not his. He was forced to apologize.

And today, Fighteer has brought on the second coming of this and everyone's feelings are being grievously injured.

Now, who wants to see their take on consoomerism?

There are Jim Sterling fans on TVT? Now I know who keeps sending xim gross comments on YouTube

 

[Captain Syrup]

There are Jim Sterling fans on TVT?

You know the answer. He's a talking head on YouTube who spoon-feeds opinions, like a momma bird.

I tend to go easy on Sterling, but the preoccupation with internet blowhards is very tiring. And hypocritical.

Well, yes. They like everyone who isn't alt-right. And one of the other mods combed through the thread and started censoring posts.

 

[Moral Decay]

It's beautiful how Fighteer can be right in a few small ways once in a while, but not without backlash from his own army of autists. They all deserve each other.

I don’t know if other people will see this as stupid (or possibly just gross), but I do. TvTropes is a site (almost) entirely driven by volunteer efforts put forth by fans, and as people have shown over almost 500 pages here, not even always well meaning or useful efforts.

The fact that they pop this up on every page you visit while using adblock, and the fact that it does not go away on its own irritates me on the same level as fan-translators having patreon. I understand hosting costs money. I have a website of my own. But you are trying to make money off the contributions of other people’s work, and I don’t like that.

anyway, that’s my stupid rant. maybe I’m alone on this, but it does drive me nuts.

Just use NoScript. It blocks ads without triggering the guilt-tripping.

But the guilt-tripping is kind of funny, though. At least they didn't resort to making the wiki private, yet.

Can't they just, I don't know, run a fundraiser or patreon to avoid this shit?

Going by the latest Jimquistion tweet, you're probably right.

Since when has that ever stopped people? Though the better question I have is "How much do the servers cost anyway?"

 

[Captain Syrup]

How much do the servers cost anyway?

We got trouble!
Right here in Troper City!
With a capital "T" and that rhymes with "G"
And that stands for "Grift"!
