Somedays I wonder if that was driven by actual rightwing sentiment, or by a desire to just destroy and hack everything. Go back to the days of gaming American Idol to push Sanjaya, or the gags of gaming other polls to like, send Bieber to North Korea or Pitbull to Alaska etc.

Like, they realized they could do a lot, and just keep finding ways to go even further.

I look at what TFG is doing nowadays and honestly if it wasn’t a system I depend on to live, it would be easy to mistake him for some kind of grey hat hacker exploiting every single hole he can find in said system in the worst possible way in order to compel people to close them.

I will say this, too… 4chan’s opintel is completely amazing. The way they were able to track Shia Lebouf’s HWNDU by doing things like… correlating airplane noises with flight patterns is like… beyond next level.

SSO?

Easier xposting

I’m still trying to find a link to the sauce

Hot take, but I dare say 4chan was the source of as much of what’s good in internet culture as it was for much of what’s the worst in internet culture.

Rickroll, Caturday, the modern meme format, reaction gifs, “TLDR”, Anonymous (well, the good versions of it), spoderman, Rule 34, trollface, rageface, quite a bit of pet abuse justice, … they may have even successfully set back AI chatbots nearly a full decade with their gaming of Microsoft’s Tay chatbot… quite a lot of modern Internet slang such as win, fail, an hero, based, copypasta, creepypasta, “god tier”, lulz, moar, sauce…

The thing about anarchy is that it brings out both the best and the worst.

Why then did she say she didn’t care? She clearly cares a lot.

I don’t know if there’s more context, but at least as included in the article, it’s “feel free to take anything that’s useful and use it/submit it in any way” but that’s quite clearly not what she actually meant.

She repeatedly says “she wants out” but yet she apparently doesn’t really want out because she still wants to be in the creds. For not caring anymore she’s caring a whole lot.

Also:

Go ahead and do the thing, I don’t care.

does the thing

HOW DARE YOU DO THE THING, WHAT AN ASSHOLE
