Try getting a reservation at Dorcia now!!

What the fuck. That's it, we're shutting it down

I wouldn't do that because that would feel weird,

I mean, it's basically homemade spam. It's kinda weird.

Hi there, mod here. I want to acknowledge that you appear to not be a spam bot, just some decent dude who wanted to make some posts.

I appreciate you wanting to contribute. Would you do me a small favor and slow it down a bit? You're getting a lot of reports. I recommend quality over quantity. Take the time to double check your titles. Keep it to like single digits a day for a bit. Avoid reposting topics. Etc.

That'll all go a long way, rest assured.

This is just the current tech's version of a timeless problem, though. People have always been able to just say shit and cause problems because others believed them.

Examples:

Emmett Till was lynched back in the 1950s due to a lying white woman, becoming an iconic part of the civil rights movement.

In the late 1930s, the War of the Worlds story freaked a bunch of people out when it was first broadcast.

In 1897, Mark Twain's death was falsely reported enough that he publicly commented about it.

There's also the Great Moon Hoax in 1835.

William Anderton is a famous example of fake news from the 1700s.

we've even got fake news in ancient Rome involving Octavian, Marc Antony, and Cleopatra.

People will always be doing this dumb shit, whether it's a town crier, a printing press, or a social media site.

The key is to exercise critical thinking and promote its use to everyone.

1. fish are pretty dumb.
2. a plastic translucent cup let's predators see the octopus inside. The harder shell is opaque and just looks like every other shell.

Wonder Woman disrespecting a classic like Con Air by associating it with these dip shits.

Put the bunny back in the box.

Can confirm, it's fuckin obnoxious.

We're open to kind and good words from anyone. The issue is always the other words.

Utter nonsense. Geese won't own cars.

They'd steal them.

The people who picked Point Of Sale as the term for these systems knew exactly what was going to happen. I cannot be convinced otherwise.

Truly one of humanity's greatest accomplishments.

Woooow. That's just unbelievably stupid. What's even more depressing is that people actually fall for this shit.

I keep seeing his have and confusing him for Dale from Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

Like, without Alan Tyduk, the evil wins.

Good ol 77. Truly the best vault.

Are... Are there others?

Makes sense. Trolls tend to be that way.

No, the problem is preventing the fascist from getting into the office. Fuck the corpse, we'll Weekend at Bernie's it if we have to. Let's bring the focus back to the fascists. All this talk about replacement is just a blatant diversion from that.

It's been a few hours, I guess they've got nothing to say! Shocking!
