Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

It's great how many of the I STAND WITH HONG KONG slacktivists are sucking chinky dick. China wouldn't lie, comrade.

I was going to say, months ago these slack-jawed faggots were lining up to throw shit at Winnie the Poo, Tencent and Blizzard's/the NBA's handling of their CCP overlords. I guess pumping yourself full of horse piss does a number on coherency.

Funny thing is even then they were hypocritical shits about it. Huge screeching fit about Blizzard because muh hung kung, but couldn't be quick enough to throw money at Chinese companies such as Epic and Grinding Gear Games - companies that Tencent are big investors in.

Got the usual whining about how it was a false equivelancy, and impossible to boycott everything because something something under capitalism, etc.

Fuck off. Don't jerk yourself over moral stands when it involves luxury products.

Like 12 years ago there was a bigass thread in one of the subforums about giving up shampoo and switching to "natural" products like Apple Cider Vinegar. They would talk about how it would be greasy for a month or so but then it was "totally fine to not use shampoo ever again". Goons have always been gross.

Not apple cider vinegar, as that shit is acidic and will make your hair weak and brittle. You don't need to wash your hair every day or even every week.
the tl;dr is that unless you are genetic lottery fucked, your body will stop making as much oil when you stop stripping out the natural oils with soap every day.

So it is true you don't need to shampoo your hair every day.
The part that goons forget is you still do need to rinse out the dust, dirt, and dead skin and use hot water to get your human oils to flow over the hair
as well as brush & comb if you aren't washing or you will look & smell like a greasy unwashed goon.

tl;dr Like most things, Goons take something with basis in truth and twist it to justify being worthless unwashed sacks of greasy skin.

Remember when goons were going on about the diva cup and how enivormental friendly it is?

People are even shitting all over chloroquine as treatment option just because Trump talked about it. Let that sink in. They talk shit about a promising procedure that could save a bunch of lives in a fucking global pandemic just because Trump mentioned it, instead of hoping that it actually will work. How fucked in the head have you got to be? It's no place for politics. I do agree Trump is no expert and should have never mentioned it, but that's no reason to shit all over the option itself, and it's especially no reason to extra-hope it won't work just so Trump will be wrong.

I hate Trump a lot, but I hope to hell that treatment works. Also, don't do like that one idiot did and eat aquarium cleaner, because it's not the same thing

I hate Trump a lot, but I hope to hell that treatment works.

I think his handling of the pandemic has been appalling but I hope he gets his shit together and starts managing the crisis effectively because the alternative is too awful to contemplate.

It doesn't matter right now how much you hate any national leader. The only thing which matters is whether or not they're providing strong enough leadership to turn this around.

Trump is acing it compared to Trudeau, who still hasn’t banned entry to Canada from China and tried to sneak a provision into the financial aid bill last week that would have given him and the finance minister (a convicted criminal who broke multiple laws related to investments, BTW) a basic dictatorship until the end of next year!

I don't think you get how wild-eyed rage reinforced by a constant internet feedback loop works. I've seen internet leftists come back with "No, the Soviet Union killed 35 million civilian NAZIS and they were right to, stupid!" We're talking about people who look at a graph of political leanings by age group and fantasize about killing everybody over 50, including their own parents, because 55% of those fucking olds voted the wrong way.

If it's not actually some kind of goofy ass April Fool's joke, it seems too ridiculous to even be that--but there is currently a bloodbath across the moderation staff over an apparent coup attempt that supposedly involved McNally and others trying to gain physical possession of the server for SA in coordination with Lady Ambien citing Lowtax's absenteeism and mental health during the divorce proceedings and a ton of mods have left weird revolutionary posts before getting 100,000 hour probations and bans. Burt posted an angry thread before getting the boot too.







And here's the Burt post, which was stickied in GBS and seems to track:

 

[Manah]

It's just the current staff's attempt at a joke.'

If it was serious, he'd have pulled the admin/mod status of all of them and permabanned them.

Also, Reene made a stickied post about "Forum changes are coming!"

(spoiler: they're not very funny.)

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

Can't even shanghai a server from a dude in a booze/pill half-coma.

Fucking goons are worthless.

edit: April Fools, of course. Always hilarious.

On one hand Fluffdaddy is gone and my heart breaks on the other hand Burt sexual is gone so I cheer.

What happened to Bread and Roses? Is it just Cascadebeta screaming into the void now?

 

[Fox Hound]

This reeks of bad April fools joke.

Say what you will about them, they kept us the fuck out successfully (mostly).

 

[X Prime]

They're playing this "joke" to the hilt.

 

[blablabla]

the forums are down i was reading the military history thread. for fucks sake this is the unfunniest aprils joke ever

 

[The Grognard]

Say what you will about them, they kept us the fuck out successfully (mostly).

The same thing will happen to it as happened with Postplace and WDDP. Over time, their purity spiral will eventually cause a true believer to become a disbeliever and as we all know, such folks will end up leaking a lot of shit just out of spite. Considering it's full of IDPOL wonks, it's not gonna take long since every last one of those fuckers is Slashie-tier crazy.

 

[The Grognard]

I think this coup attempt might actually be legit.
