Long time Sims 2 player complaint:

Now, I'm happy that a lot of people are experiencing the sims 2 AND 1 for the first time ever, I truly am happy people are getting to play. However, I can't lie that it's a little bit annoying seeing some of the big youtubers play it and their reactions, lack of knowledge on it but pretending they know what they're doing because they played it 15 years ago as a kid? Or how they're now making tons of videos on how to do things or how to play the game when there's a whole community out there who have these videos on their channels, there's no acknowledgement of the sims 2 community and how amazing they are, there's no credit to modders or people who made this game playable while EA continued to ignore our pleas to fix stuff? Am I the only one feeling this way? Idk, I'm not jealous at all, I know if I dropped a youtube video tomorrow, I'd have my community celebrating with me.... I guess I'm just a bit salty and annoyed watching sims 4 players act the way they are about TS2....not like it's been around since 2004 or anything. Smh, I've been in such a bad mood this week (real life related stuff, not cause of the sims lol)... and it's starting to spill out everywhere lol...

Something that’s bothered me about a lot of Poolverine fans is that they do the whole “I’m not an animal” thing for Logan, with nightmares about people (Stryker) calling him one, and then proceed to headcanon animalistic behaviors and attributes about him. He’s a bit more flexible than a regular human, he has heightened senses, he has a super fast healing factor, and he has claws, with or without adamantium coating on his bones (depending on the time period or timeline. Sometimes he has no metal & bone claws.) He’s NOT an animal. One of the things that made me angry about X3 was that they had Beast of all people call him one too, because Hank McCoy would never. But yeah, the fandom leaning harder into that and making him more animalistic (beyond various timeline canon and PTSD induced moments of self preservation) pisses me off. It feels like fetishization. If you want a big hunky man with heightened senses who’s territorial and possessive and shit, read some werewolf romance novels.

pissed abt the new discord mobile update so heres my rant.

the new hud is ugly, laggy and impractical. the lil servers button will ALWAYS have a blue light unless you read every server message which is dumb. they should have an option to turn that off or revert it back to the old HUD (like how reddit has its current site and its "old site HUD" verision), it feels laggy to swap between servers and messages and its slow, making it hard to balance having two conversations at once. you cant even see which people are online in servers by swiping to the side anymore and have to press the search button (which takes a moment to even load, adding more to the lag factor), not to mention, messages look weird now since you ALSO cant side swipe to see whos online/status messages, you must press the search tab and then itll lag to load and show up like how instagrams messaging system does, with it separating the media sent, link and some other stuff. overly complex and unneeded.

not to mention, the new "midnight" color background doesnt even look midnight, you'd expect it to be pitch black on all parts but instead they made it blueish, which is dumb and knowing current discord, they'd put pitch black behind the discord nitro color themed backgrounds (which is also stupid but thats a whole other can of worms.)

overall the new interface is annoying, laggy, UGLY, and hard to traverse, the seperation of areas was unneeded, made worse by the fact that discord themself have said that a setting to make it go back to normal wont be made and if anyone doesnt like it, to delete their accounts. (most likely not caring due to the fact that they have no competition in purely texting apps), it is also full of glitches such as: people being able to send messages but it STILL being in the text box, being so laggy its unuseable and from what ive seen, nobody online is happy as it completely removes all user-friendly access to things and makes it generally hard to use.

quick question. why are y'all reading these books if you clearly despise them? and then why are you proceeding to use FANDOM tags to express your hate?

FUCKING STOPPP.

What’s up with people who don’t like being ‘spam liked’ like I’m sorry for enjoying your content mx. I’ll try harder to hate it now you’ve said to not like it

I gotta be completely honest with you, I'm a little frustrated with the people who interact with this blog. I don't want to be rude, especially not to you the mod, but seeing how popular the added "unsure" and "haven't heard of this" options can be for some polls, I feel like it takes from the poll entirely. For example, the recent one about Sonic Omens. I think that anyone who doesn't have a leg in the race just shouldn't vote, and the poll isn't for them. I feel like including options for people who can't even answer the question sort of messes with the data. I only mean this as constructive criticism, not to cause harm or hate, and I hope to hear your side of it, as well as submitters who make the polls. What do you think?

This, too, is data I must learn. My thoughts are under the cut, thank you for your feedback.

Joking aside, I understand the point, but I moderately disagree.

For the past month or so this blog has been running completely on user submissions. I only edit options to add something I think is missing and will result in unnecessary distress (see: the lack of chill on the first Sonic Voice Actor Poll. Lest we forget.). I do not currently remove options; I presume people meant what they said unless they tell me otherwise.

I do understand that some polls may have a lot of people choosing the opt out option, and that could pose specific problems. I don't think I agree with your example for this: I for one had never heard of that project, so would have voted the opt out option. And while I could and possibly would just ignore that poll, there's a chance someone might just pick or guess any answer if their response is not encapsulated in the options. People are nosy. They want to know the results even if they don't know anything about the topic.

Also, you can always calculate the proportion of the votes that went to each without the cop-out option with some simple percentage calculations. So the data isn't invalidated, the sample is just smaller. That is also data: it tells you many people aren't aware of or engaged with that topic. I think that is interesting too.

Where I could see your point is on more general but difficult things. If I listed a poll like 'Who's better: Shadow or Sonic?' I expect many people would want to click the cop-out option because they really like both, and there I would lose data. Because if they were really pushed, they could probably manage an opinion, but it would be easier (and give the gratification of button pressing) if they can not think about it and choose a 'I refuse!' button.

However, even in such cases I still think it's important that I do not edit people's polls to remove catch-all options if they have listed them. For all I know, the submitter was actually interested in capturing data on how many people would refuse to answer, and would be dissappointed to have that option removed.

My final note is I have found myself feeling quite protective of my submitters, especially those I suspect are regulars. This is not a massive blog being overwhelmed with asks. I would have given up already without them, I used nearly all of my ideas to get to past the first 100 polls. So if the polls are mislisted, contain errors, or you have grievances with them: raise those with me, that's my job. Give the submitters the kudos for providing the entertainment. I am not the last person you should be rude to but the first.

I don't want to ask voters to do anything except vote honestly, even if the answer is they don't know, and share questions they like. If they could continue to refrain from starting barfights on my posts that would also be swell. But I guess enthusiasm is appreciated.

Those who've read my essay here, please do leave your thoughts on the subject in the replies - I will be reading with interest and will let it impact my own polls, if not alter the submissions. Genuinely, thank you for the ask and your interest in the data we're making here, I am pleased that you are invested and like me want good data!

“For if there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.”

~ Albert Camus, Summer in Algiers

"We may experience a part of our self that constantly complains. Nothing is ever right. This attitude blinds the soul from perceiving the great richness of the inner and outer kingdom.

When a student begins to realize how much they are always complaining, and how much this colors reality, a kind of remorse opens up, a sorrow, because they understand that they have blinded themselves.

Such remorse leads to repentance, or inner turning. Whatever the universe or humanity has done to you may have generated bitterness within. Now there is a great and profound sweetness. Repetition of Ya Shakur (Thankfulness) is an antidote for dissatisfaction with the falseness or incompleteness of the world.

That veil that has made this universe into a place of deprivation, a place to be constantly complained about, has been removed. The whole universe becomes an oceanic goldenness. It started as a drop of honey, and it becomes a golden universe. The heart is opened, and there is sweetness and gratitude for every moment you breathe."

~ Wali Ali Meyer et al, 'Physicians of the Heart'

Is there anyone writing RWBY smut on this site that doesn't exclusively or near-exclusively feature Jaune?

Like, I get that the guy was the audience surrogate in the first two seasons, but god damn it's nothing but him when I go looking!

Wish I could choose between dinner or a shower, but it has to be both. Both of these things need to happen.

Youtube, I wanted to look up different versions of Hubert Parry's "Te deum". Hence why I used the terms "Hubert Parry" and "Te deum" in the search bar. I was not interested in other versions of the "Te deum" by composers such as Charpantier, Stanford", or Haydn (hence, why I used "Hubert Parry" in the search bar), nor was I interested in the piece "I was glad" by Hubert Parry (hence, why I used the term "Te deum" in the search bar).
