Cosplay and RP is hardly a cause for concern - this article is taking it as if there are seriously a cabal of stalker children.

Yeah, this. I’ve worked too many years in retail (primarily in a suburb) to not feel the same. Kids may logically know it’s wrong, but they have the empathy and impulse control of a gnat.

There are #killingstalking musical.lys, which are dark-themed (artistic? emo?) videos showing boys putting knives to girls’ throats.

We wait till it breaks, THEN we replace it.

No it doesn’t. “Declarations of war” are a formal process put in motion by a nation’s government, and backed up with authorized military action. Not shit talking.

I’ve hardly ever played online (weak connection). I’m interested to change that, but not if it means dealing with neckbeards and shitty, unsupervised teens.

They might like to ignore this, but having pornography of you floating on the internet could cause some serious problems if it crops up.

I am not. Nowhere near it, either. Perhaps there’s an artist out there who just makes “local” wall art for businesses?

....Everything is awful.

So, “Conkers Bad Fur Day” for a new generation then.

And, for whatever godawful reason, the movies leave out Firenze, the hot centaur who becomes the astronomy professor. He was the character I was most interested in seeing (being a teenage girl) and they just....cut him out. Which makes no sense because he saves their lives on several occasions - meanwhile Colin Creevy…

There’s a local coffee chain in my city - one of the locations has a massive collage of the city skyline that actually managed to be interesting to look at. If they ever went out of business and I had a ton of wall space, I’d like to buy it.

Am I the only person left who has never bought anything from Amazon?

I wouldn’t call it abusive, just toxic. She likely knows that LW is in a relationship, but she either doesn’t care or (worst case) is the type to get off on being a homewrecker. She’s also probably realized by now that LW is weak to her advances, and basically just keeps his info for whenever she needs an easy lay.…

I wonder if this is the start of an overall trend back to the “XTREME” pop culture of the late 90s - skateboarding, BMX, energy drinks as meal substitutes, post-punk, etc etc.

Oh  gosh, you just had to drag those from the cesspool of my memory, didn’t you?

We keep them around for emotional support and guileless companionship. The type of relationship one has with a pet is completely different from one someone can have with any human, be it friend, lover, or relative.

At the risk of sounding like an Old....um, duh?

...or Satanism. Or trying to deliberately murder children.
