ramdom thought thread revival

[funyuns]

if everyone has a tattoo then does not getting any tattoo become the new counterculture

[skunk ape]

Feel like that's an ian mackaye quote. Anyway, i think the answer is no, but tattoos have flattened enough that having or not having one isn't indicative of something either way.

I have a tattoo which means they're not cool.

[ramdomthought]

if tattoos are not cool does that imply that not having tattoos is cool

if so

is a TDF thread too close to a [redacted] thread? asking for a friend

I am unable to keep up with Discord. In theory, I enjoy the UI and the way communication works on there. Still it just feels daunting to keep up with? I can't just check in for twenty minutes a day and get the gist of what's happening in my social circles, which are partly made up of irl friends and partly internet people with similar interests. It feels like I have to devote a big chunk of my daily screen time in order to really interact with anyone. There's no hopping into conversations. I think I prefer the slower pace of 1 on 1 chats.

I need a wiki or something that explains insider jokes and channel names before I can even think about participating in Discords without getting a headache

bring back irc

is this in general or c-t's discord? feel like 6/7 days theres like 5 messages total and then 1 day a week things will go OFF

It's very rude to post cap C content on discord when you could post it here instead and revive this moribund forum.

[rjbman]

yes but everyone keeps talking about how i shouldnt post [redacted] content on care tags. haters.

[bels]

Posting on discord instead of care tags dot org is basically cosigning neoliberalism.

[bels]

Ryan can we make it so that we just read in the discord chat like it's a thread? Could work I'm sure discord federates.

[Trench Witch]

it's very easy to keep up with the care tags discord because nobody posts in it

beautiful balmy mid 60s day here. got a ton of shit done, decided to go to a park nearby and walk a mile or so to this one bench in between two lakes. perfect zen spot. dreams of sitting and being a vegetable with a few tacos, sparkling water, and a book.

get there, as nice as i hoped

until i sat down and the mosquitoes sucked me dry

i got eaten while i was eating

[titkitten]

the two main draws of ct discord are bikeposting and pirxposting

[ramdomthought]

i installed discord on my phone once. was using it for some dumb groups which was cool

a bit later i met up with old high school friends i lost touch with for an old-school "lan party" in town. I like these guys but there's a lot of reasons we haven't really kept in touch (no ill will, just different lives).

they threw me an invite to their discord. I accidentally kept notifications on. One day while I was getting groceries, the phone screen was responding to the notifications. Apparently the context-sensitive replies that were on the notifications were being pressed by something in my pocket.

I got home and had a bunch of people justifiably giving me grief for responding bizarrely to a conversation i wasn't even remotely involved in


i no longer have discord on my phone
