Crime?

....molotov crime?

CRIMES AGAINST AUTHORITVE OVER REACHING GOVERNMENTS?!?

*feral anarchist noises*

"Sherlock please solve this crime", "Sherlock please solve that crime", "Wah wah wah, Sherlock, solve all my problems!"

What about MAKING problems? What about COMITTING crimes?! Where's the PASSION in the youth gone!?!

You all make me SICK. I commit a crime EVERY DAY. While you do what, whine and cry? THAT'S the problem with the youth these days. Too many "cry me a river" not enough "crime revere"!

Bellatrix: --purifying wizarding bloodlines by--

Camera.

Cuz y'all broke mine the other night.

Quick ! Think of a word you like ! 

Not necessarily your favorite word, it doesn’t even have to be a word you usually like ! Just a word that right now, at this moment, you look at and think “ooh what about this one”.

It can be a word you find funny, pretty, strange, scary, anything really ! You don’t need to tell me why you choose that word (though I’d love to know if you want to tell me), just give me a word ! 

(It’d be lovely if we made this into a chain but there’s no pressure <3) - origin, tagged by @whatnext2020

Well, don't mind if I say so, but the other post was getting too long (and linguistically homogeneous)

So here's a word that is neither long nor english:

пиздец

Adding just a pinch....

This could've been us. *cue dramatic flop*

[bewitched-bullet]

Just some casual anarchy, nothing to be concerned about

Quick question did anyone else start crying because of this drawing of Aled or just me

'Quackity probably didn't even know!'

It's his server. If he actually doesn't know, then that's a problem. It's neglect of the people who play on and work for this server. This dude can't constantly say how proud he is of his project and then not be involved enough to know what is happening behind the scenes.

People weren't allowed to talk about Wilbur or Forever because it was seen as CONTROVERSIES. That is actively protecting abusers from being deplatformed! That's also not controversies; those are actual abusers who hurt people and shouldn't be swept under the rug!

When you want to start a project that is about connecting people from different communities and in different languages, you can't make your admins sign an NDA! You can't force them to not talk to each other when it comes to said projects and therefore stop them from knowing about events soon enough.

This isn't some school project where someone puts zero work into it and then takes all the praise for it. This is about people who try to make a living out of this, and paying them minimum wage is vile. They do so much work! And the admins on Twitter who look for clips and make edits, etc., don't even get paid AT ALL. One admin drew a commission and never got paid for it!

Also targeting certain Eggs where the streamer will have the most emotional reaction just for content is disgusting. It gives off emotional manipulation vibes. Some streamers were actually in distress because of this and all for content!

One admin was afraid to talk about the 🍉 genocide (don't wanna get this into the tag cause it's more important to use it to spread awareness) because they feared getting fired! Don't you see how fucked up this is?

I just can't believe that Quackity wasn't aware of ANY of this stuff. And again, if he was, that's just as problematic!

I really hope that all admins will start a strike to finally get the payment they deserve. I hope the CCs playing on this server aren't aware of any of this (but considering how some said how tiring they felt from the egg stuff only for one day later to praise it, I doubt they don't know at least a bit). I hope Quackity finally has the fucking balls to talk about this. Just ONCE he should open his mouth and address this.

And if y'all don't see it the same way, then I have lost all hope in humanity.
