i have infinitely more respect for draft dodgers than the suckers who capitulated 👍

they should make special patches and bumper stickers and hats for vietnam draft dodgers the same way the veterans do. maybe then i would actually offer up a salute. im hitting the discount button for you my friend.

➡️ Content warnings on fiction are a courtesy. 

➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'

➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.

➡️ You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.

I do, however, want to point out that I am 10x more likely to skip a fic that has Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings. You get burned enough times, everyone pays. And I promise, if you don't use a warning (and I mean the big ones--major character death, rape, etc.) when you should have, I will never read another fic you write. Never.

So remember that when you click that button. Just like me reading your fic is a choice I am responsible for, whether or not you properly warn is your choice, but that choice doesn't happen in a vacuum and it has consequences.

100% you always, ALWAYS have the right to skip a fic that is tagged "chose not to warn."

The tag is there to warn you that the author only wants readers in their audience who are consenting to be surprised.

Writers who tag "chose not to warn" are generally not looking to maximize the audience size of their story but rather to present their story in the most authentic way that feels right to them.

Most writers who tag "chose not to warn" will be glad that you skipped their story if you are not someone who wants to be surprised, and happy for you that you chose to take care of yourself.

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.

Can you say one of your younger friends or family who is rude, rascal and violent is cute because of their appearence even if they were adult!?

Please imagine;

You are around 60 years old, and your son in law around 25 years chases you at full speed then bites and beats you every day, can you say he is cute!?

been thinking about fantasy/scifi rule systems and free will

the truest and realest words ever spoken on earth

Floigan will do for SEGA what Mario did for Nintendo.

huh

This thread feels like a Graggle Simpson thing but no this is actually one hundred percent true and the Sega president really said that. About this game that when it came out egm gave a 1.67/10 and edge called a major part of the gameplay "relentlessly painful" "suffering"

is a man not entitled to the sweat dripping down his own balls?

‘No!’ Says Lil Jon, ‘it belongs to the window.’

‘No!’ Say the Ying Yang Twins, ‘it belongs to the wall.’

calling a work of fiction "saccharine and masturbatory" to indicate that it is awesome. just like sugar and cranking off

Don't use Project 64.

Hey all, a new extremely dangerous vulnerability was discovered in Project64, a very popular N64 emulator. If you emulate N64 games, I highly highly recommend switching off P64 for an alternative, such as Mupen.

I get the sentiment here, but version 1.6 is far and above the most popular version of P64

Losing it at this

hearing "the ps5 is in the latter stage of its lifecycle" and laughing myself sick. NO GAMES

we're up to 13

genuinely hard to look at. heartbreaking
