I am seeing far too many closed-minded, rude and seriously hateful people on an assortment of communities. People are so damn whiny about everything. An update to a game that changes a couple things "THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE AND DISGUSTING, THEY RUINED THEIR GAME." Someone is religious: "OH YOU STUPID SHEEP HOW COULD YOU BELIEVE SUCH OBVIOUS FALLACY." Someone dislikes something popular: "YOU'RE NOT A REAL (x)!" Anybody gets any semblance of criticism for anything: "YOU'RE JUST A JERK, YOU'RE A BULLY AND I HATE YOU. BLOCKED AND REMOVED."

Oh, and don't get me started on the shitstorm I see every time someone brings up the FACT that "everyone can be discriminated against." "UH BULLSHIT THERE'S NO SYSTEM OF OPPRESSION AGAINST MEN, WHITES OR CISHETS. CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE, JACKASS." Or even "ALL THESE DUMB SJW'S ARE JUST A BUNCH OF DEGENERATES AND THEY SHOULD ALL DIE." Or what have you.

Right. Great representations of your groups/works, folks. Sure convinces people to love you so much. If your opinion is abusive or hateful to someone, your opinion is wrong. There may be no definite moral code, but doesn't respecting others even if you disagree/don't relate (especially when you voice it) get you farther than hating or abusing them? The world will never be perfect, but the question remains valid.

This. So much this.
This so much.

^when a group I belong to does this and I feel tarred with the same brush

Troubleshooting on the net

The question is quite clear followed by completely unrelated answers

Oh you have a problem with your Android tablet?  Let me tell you about my phone
Here's an ad for some crap I'm selling
Have you tried doing the thing you said you tried first?
And then tacking on the end some request for praise of their mad skillz

THAT TOO.

So many ideas, so much time, so little ability to put them into serious words.

Broken link

Because of these very issues I'm loathe to even suggest it, but...

Maybe we need an Ask for Technical Advice thread?

My optimistic side says "yes there are so many techies on here" my pessimistic side says "yeah, why not invite the vampire in the house?"

There's a Tech Board!?!?!?  O.O

Oh My Dog!!

Next you'll be telling me there's an entire Serious RP section I've completely missed!

OT:  Every time I see the floor of my laundry more washing appears.  I swear it's not mine!

Last night, I was told I was gonna get bitched at today, so I've been trying to not leave my room at all until my dad goes to bed. I have to go to the bathroom and would like to get something to eat, but I know I'll get spotted and have no escape, so I'm just doing the pee dance in my chair.
