‘You can’t pause the internet’: social media creators hit by burnout

Jump

  • How does one unintentionally eat a tide pod? So you tell the guy when you're checking in at the ER "Homie and I were just playing catch with a tide pod and I was yelling at cousin Mabel to get off the dang roof and it just dropped into my mouth and I swallowed. It was a one in a million shot doc. One in a million."

    More likely they did it intentionally and didn't want to admit to it to avoid embarrassment. That or one of their dumb buddies thought it'd be funny based on some Tiktok they saw so they dropped one into someone's bowl of Doritos.

    Either way all I was doing was correcting a false statement you made about children never eating tide pods. Because they surely did.

  • Piracy is like an Eye of Sauron thing. You don't get big and ubiquitous like Napster back in the day or you get pounced on like Aragorn clanging his pots and pans. You wanna stay small and quiet undermining the very power they desire like Sam and Frodo :>

  • Children were never eating tide pods either

    Yes they were. Because some people really are that dumb.

    The same year, nearly 220 teens were reportedly exposed, and about 25 percent of those cases were intentional, according to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers.

    So far in 2018, there have been 37 reported cases among teenagers — half of them intentional, according to the data.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/01/13/teens-are-daring-each-other-to-eat-tide-pods-we-dont-need-to-tell-you-thats-a-bad-idea/

    And that's just reported numbers for teenagers. I can almost guarantee you the number of idiots that ate one and didn't know how to call poison control is much higher.

  • If your "job" is to convince brainless zoomers to eat tide pods or convince them to try DIY plastic surgery with hammers, maybe burning out isn't a bad thing. Maybe we're just seeing nature healing itself.

  • Remember when we made fun of the Mypillow guy for spouting election conspiracy bullshit? Man, those were good times.

    Sure, it feels better to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole than realize we probably shouldn't have put up an animated corpse up against trump until it was too late.

  • Dear God no. Refund Disco Elysium if you can. Some shady asshole ended up stealing the game from the original creators so any purchases you make ends up lining the pockets of the thieves.

    The original creators have actually encouraged people to pirate the game instead.

    Check the mega thread here to get started. The game is excellent, just don't give your money to the slimy suit that stole the game.
