Jesus, I love dropping by here only to stumble upon stuff like this. It really makes my day. 😍 🙏 🤣

rustydrifter10 said:It was an idea we toyed with for a bit, but we’ve decided to pull the plug on it—at least for now. I honestly don't know what the future holds, but for the time being, that option isn't going to be spreading across the Reddit community.

Honestly, don't even bother listening to her.

rustydrifter10 said:I think there was a thread somewhere about that "thank you" feature—there was actually quite a bit of buzz surrounding it. At the end of the day, though, it’s entirely up to the owner, and they haven't said a word about it yet.

I honestly think the owner should just sell Reddit to the community. If we all owned the place, they wouldn't even need to bother with advertising. If anyone's interested, we could always just put together a PDF of the classified ads.

Andy, think about it—you could actually make a killing. 😉

rustydrifter10 said:He doesn't care, honestly. It’s just that there's no budget for a new server right now, so he's avoiding anything that might strain the current setup. I'm not entirely sure how much of a load this would actually put on the system, but maybe there's some other reason behind it too.

If he actually follows through on selling us that server, we can get to work on setting it up. There’s a massive amount of decent hardware just sitting around the country right now, gathering dust while everyone obsesses over the latest iPhones and high-end smartphones. It's a waste.

rustydrifter10 said:This forum was originally pitched as a free space for everyone to hang out, but man, things have changed. It’s been a long time since we first launched, and looking back, the whole vibe feels completely different than it did just a few years ago.

Everything’s different now. Times are changing.

So, I decided to take a break from the pill the other day. Now my gut is absolutely killing me. And when I say gut, I mean I honestly can't tell if it’s my ovaries or my testicles acting up... I remembered Dr. Ginić once mentioned how spinal pain can radiate down to the groin area, so now I'm stuck trying to figure out if this is withdrawal symptoms or just my back—which, for heaven's sake, is aching because I sleep all curled up around my cat 😍. 😁 I was wondering, did any of you deal with intense pain after stopping birth control? Just trying to mentally rule one of these two possibilities out. I don't want to go crazy thinking it's just ovulation
.
And yeah. I've also realized my wetness has completely vanished since I stopped taking them. I get frustrated and turned on, but there's zero moisture... nothing. My libido has just tanked 😢. Honestly, maybe taking a break was a terrible idea... 😠

That was a really solid, well-reasoned argument right out of the gate.

Linda Roberts2 said:I honestly don't get why anyone would hold a grudge against America. But if we're looking at it realistically, for a nation to actually wield significant political influence on the global stage today, you really need a population of at least 32 million people. If current trends continue in the US, we’d probably need to see about 14 million more Chinese immigrants coming in to hit those kinds of numbers.

Don't worry, they're on their way.

Why would someone hate America? Because the whole idea of it feels like one big illusion. We aren't even mentally unified enough to truly function as a single nation or a cohesive people. Everyone just has their own little local version of what the country should be—I mean, when some tiny tornado hits a town in Ohio and people act like it's a holy war because they're defending "their" specific patch of dirt? Give me a break. Historically speaking, every leader has been a hypocrite, and that hasn't changed much in the last decade. As for the people, we're a messy bunch—fragmented, resentful of others' success, and prone to cutting corners. People cling to illusions and flirt with all sorts of extremist ideologies. There's zero sense of the "unity" everyone loves to preach about. Oh, and we passed that referendum recently? Yeah, plenty of reasons to despise a place like this when it's filled with such shortsighted people.

Lisa Hernandez3 said:It isn't.

Look, I’ll just say this: don't get all worked up over me using "PMS-y" as an adjective. I was just using it as a metaphor for being moody. I didn't realize it was hitting such a nerve with you right now. I also didn't realize you were a girl. 🤷

The reason why? :nocomment:

I'm gonna go wander around the forum for a bit. Catch you later. 👋

Brian Edwards78 said:Strile didn't just start handing out warnings out of nowhere; he flagged those posts only after spending the whole day debating me and Nicholas King. These girls haven't "lost their minds"; they're acting out because they can't wrap their heads around the fact that someone would actually lie about something like this. Looking through rose-colored glasses is a nice way to see the world, but reality is pretty gray.

Besides, I got flagged for trolling too—even though I wasn't trolling, while the mod who told me to watch my mouth walked away scot-free. Another thing is that the crew still can't grasp that there are genuinely awful people out there who invent elaborate stories just for attention, and they naively believe everything they read online. An account with three posts where the first one claims they won't be able to love again, and the next two on Walnut discuss groupies, can't possibly belong to a victim of sexual assault. In the unlikely, tiny chance that it's actually true—they need much more professional help than anything a forum can provide.

Whatever, we aren't all here to investigate everyone's history. Look at it this way: even if it is a troll, someone who was actually assaulted could have used the thread to their advantage. I'll admit you have a point, but I'm not defending the chauvinism you were using there just to highlight how we're being played—you could have handled that more appropriately for the topic. Surely you realize sexual assault is an incredibly sensitive subject, right? Is that why some of them went off the rails?

Furthermore—okay, that one girl deserved a warning, just as much as you did, because she’s "privatizing" the discussion by bickering with you. But not in a way where you, Nicholas King, and Strile spend all day consulting each other about it. 😲

Lisa Hernandez3 said:Give me a break.

By what logic are these "girls" losing it? Because they're having mood swings and can't help being rude in comments when they disagree, or because they escalate moral debates to some cosmic level and start insulting people? If you're curious, I also suspect the original post might be fabricated. I'll leave open the small possibility that someone just writes in such a cliché way that it sounds like a scripted trauma. But in my opinion, that wasn't the moderation criteria back then; rather, both sides (both the author and slafko as the "instigator") were protected from further "trolling."

That's it right there—the sensitivity surrounding sexual assault. As for that shame comment, that's a total mood-swing warning. Maybe Strile or whoever was flagging people misread the post, and instead of letting the insults continue, they just handed that other person a red card.

Nicholas King said:🤦

If you were looking for a perfect specimen to prove just how messy this forum administration is, you couldn't have picked a better one.

The guy basically wrote, "I think the OP is fake." Even if he’s right—and I’m pretty sure he is—and even if we didn't have rules against acting out, it's still unclear where in his sentence he justifies why people should be allowed to go wild.

OT: Look, author, reporting a post very often leads to someone getting sanctioned. It’s totally unclear how an admin is supposed to "prove" anything differently.

Yeah... now that I look at it, I guess I did screw up a little😁. But I still feel vindicated regarding the administrative mess here—unless I'm wrong again and you're actually allowed to spend all day arguing with admins about thread moderation just because you're a regular user. I'm sure you're valued for being witty, but maybe you should get officially hired so you actually have the legitimacy to weigh in on moderation decisions. Just a thought. Unless I'm tripping again, in which case I'll just wait for your next witty jab at my massive stupidity.😁.

Daniel Ward87 said:Can you give me an actual example of what you mean? It’s pretty tough to give a real answer when the question is this vague. Honestly, it's hard to even comment on something that general.

I can handle this. Check out that thread about the assault case—the one they moved over to psychology after everything devolved into a nut-filled mess. Michelle Alvarez8 basically exposed Soraja Ol Over Agen, and then the girls just went absolutely ballistic. Naturally, they’re the ones who ended up getting banned. Here are the links: I’m still trying to wrap my head around this whole situation. Honestly, I don’t think anyone really gets it yet. It feels like we're all just staring at the pieces on the board, waiting for someone to make a move that actually makes sense. Jacob Martin52 mentioned something earlier that sort of hit the nail on the head, but even then, it felt incomplete. There’s a lot of noise out there, a lot of people shouting about what they *think* is happening, but if you look closely, the logic just isn't there. It’s a mess. Anyway, I'll keep watching. We'll see how this plays out.Honestly, I’m still a little lost on this one. It’s just not clicking for me yet.
I honestly don't think people realize how much weight this carries. It’s one thing to talk about it in theory, but when you're actually standing there, facing the reality of the situation, everything changes. You start questioning things you thought were set in stone. It's like that feeling you get when you realize a "sure thing" was actually a massive gamble all along. I've been sitting here thinking about what Jacob Martin52 said earlier, and honestly, he’s got a point. We tend to overcomplicate these things because we want to feel like we're in control, but sometimes, we're just spinning our wheels. I tried explaining this to Daniel Ward87 the other day, but he just gave me that look—you know the one. Like I was losing my mind. But seriously, if we don't address the underlying issue now, we're just waiting for the floor to fall out from under us. It's not about being pessimistic; it's about being realistic. Sometimes, being realistic is just a fancy way of saying you're prepared for the worst.So, you deleted him, fine. But what’s the deal with handing out warnings to these other guys? They actually claimed that Michelle Alvarez8 deserves a ban and called her post an absolute embarrassment. Seriously, Daniel Ward87, give me a break. It’s completely unprofessional. It feels like the mods just wait until they're having one of those moody, irrational days and then start throwing warnings around whenever they spot something they don't like, even if they aren't quite sure what the actual problem is.

brightcanyon53 said:We should just move all the posts from before 2011 onto a separate drive. Then we can set the Forum search engine
to only look at the main server and that specific drive. That would probably make managing these 7,000 users a much smaller headache.

Even better—just hire a few freelancers to go through and scrub everything prior to 2011, keeping only the threads and posts that actually serve a purpose.

Well, look at me... I don't think I've ever dropped this many posts in a single thread before. 😲

So, my post on the nut forum got nuked today just because I mentioned that men are generally hideous creatures. 😁

Honestly... this whole policy of deleting posts is just kind of a joke. 😳

p.s. when is that new documentary finally dropping? 😁

alright.

That’s weird. Is this just some glitch in the system, or did you guys go ahead and delete them?

Look, I know I’m not supposed to say it, but there is absolutely no way I’m going to start smoking just to fix this, and I definitely don't want to be on birth control. Right now, I’m on Logest and honestly, it’s a nightmare. My legs are cramping up so painfully, not to mention these brutal mental PMS swings. When I first started taking them, everything was fine. But now? Good grief... 😵

Anthony Barrett37 said:hey hollowtrucker77, just give me a ban for trolling so you can finally shut this thread down🙂

since when is this kind of stuff allowed here? 😕
I mean, I got flagged for one troll post, but then there's this... what even is this? 🤷

Just sitting here with my afternoon Jane Doe session. ☕

I mean, yeah. What does Jane Doe have to do with Jane Doe anyway?

Edit, edit, edit!! This one's actually pretty good too 😁:

Bradley Sanders4 said:Jane Doe in Tennessee! 👋 👋 👋

Jane Doe:

Whatever. I just want some Jane Doe stuff and a wheel. (Which one should I pick? 🤣)

I’m feeling violently happy today. It’s that weird, aggressive kind of good where you feel like you might actually tackle someone just because the sun is out. Not that I would, obviously. I’m far too much of a coward for that. But there's just this restless, overwhelming energy buzzing under my skin, and I can't quite shake it. It's almost unsettling. says:
I'm just over here thinking about this one. 😳 I use it to stay in the game longer.
I still find myself using it for just about everything.

Haha, I remember when you absolutely nailed him, just like Jane Doe did. Okay, maybe I don't have the exact date burned into my brain... 😬

We need this. 🙂Yeah. 😳 It can be used for just about anything. Kind of like you. 😛

Sam Green73 said:Honestly, whenever someone gives me that kind of look—you know, those pouting lips—my first thought isn't that they're upset, it's that I want to do something else entirely.

In my opinion, Durica is definitely the type who loves to pout.

You get what I'm saying, right? It's Jane Doe. 😁

hollowtrucker77 said:Yeah, I still think you guys haven't stumbled upon anything truly iconic regarding John Doe yet.
They’re all just pretty mediocre, harmless types—though I suppose that’s a bit of an inside joke for anyone who actually bothered to read John Doe’s stuff.🙂

Jane Doe, what exactly would you even moderate?
I mean, I'm not sure we even need a moderator for these high-level, formal debates anyway.

How is this even possible? This is incredibly weak.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything that went down in Lucca. It’s one of those situations where you just have to sit back, take a breath, and process the sheer absurdity of it all. Honestly, I'm not even sure where to start. says:

Jane Doe is spot on. 😁

Hey everyone! 🤣

I know you’ll probably shut this thread down immediately, but I really felt the need to bring this up. I was just finishing one of my more mindless posts and realized how much I missed 🙂:.

Is there any actual chance we could get that emoji added back?

Thanks!

p.s. It feels like the old habit of using :something: as a workaround when a specific emoji didn't exist has pretty much vanished from this forum—and honestly, everywhere else too. It's a shame. A weird little semantic phenomenon, really. 🤔 😁

Look, hollowtrucker77, you’re really obsessed with this one topic and you just won't let it go.

😲Am I really that captivating? Is that why you're stalking my posts, reading everything, and commenting on all my nonsense? You even left that comment over on Reddit about how nobody wants me around.

And then there's your little critique of my personality. Why would I care about your opinion on me needing therapy, your sexist outbursts about how I should "use my mouth," or your comments about my brain being wooden? For an admin, you're incredibly rude and unprofessional.

Yesterday, you went way too hard trolling me. As an admin, you shouldn't be allowing that kind of behavior. It’s hypocritical, and honestly, it makes it look like you're biased in your role.

I'm suggesting you just stay away from me from now on, if only for the sake of some peace on this forum. If I actually break any of the site rules, feel free to sanction me. But trolling me simply because you can't stand me is just childish. Are you trying to bait me into getting banned?

🤷Just a heads-up: if I ACCIDENTALLY get banned or suspended for making this post, considering you started every single one of our three or four run-ins, you could always just take the fall yourself. Like I told you once before, I don't forget a debt.

Also, I've noticed you always have to have the last word. So, I'm expecting a massive rant here. Go ahead, let it rip—I'm not going to keep reading this thread anyway. I wanted to address you publicly because I find it distasteful to DM you, and frankly, I'm not sure why I wouldn't hit back when you're harassing me. I'll refrain from commenting on what I've concluded about you based on your behavior so far. It feels a bit pathetic to stoop to your level. I think the old saying "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" applies perfectly to you.

Thanks for reading. Hopefully, this is the end of our digital interactions.

Hey. I was trying to go sign my name, but then I realized I can't even drop a link here. What’s going on? 😕

Oh! Just ignore that. My signature finally decided to show up. 😬

slywolf45 said:Honestly, I basically did that to myself.

It’s not exactly like we're at Yellowstone or anything.🙄 😛

God, I love you. 😍

hollowmason64 said:I’ve personally washed my hands of LSE. You guys managed to completely wreck the vibe back at the start of the year with those new moderators and that whole new policy shift. It used to be a great place for some decent banter, but now it’s just this weird, messy cocktail of teenagers, US politics, and amateur psychology. 👎

I honestly don't get how the moderators can just sleep at night while they're deleting threads asking what actually happened to the old LSE. 😲
I mean, whose ego did that moderator bruise? ☕

Thanks for posting this. Honestly, I’ve given up on complaining about how rudely they yanked my thread away. Not that I’m surprised, though. I pretty much saw it coming. 🙄

Now that you mods and admins are actually around to listen: kiss me es, people. I’m just telling it like it is—the old LSE was the gold standard, and this current version is absolute garbage. My main PDF file has turned into a total disaster. 😢

Look, I’m telling you: don't bother going there. 🙄 Why wouldn't I? I absolutely love LSE. Honestly, I had the most incredible, wild times there, especially hanging out with you guys—Aaron Harris2 and slywolf45. Remember how much fun we had?

Look, you guys are seriously overdoing it. LSE has always been a massive catch-all space—mostly off-topic, sure, but occasionally we’d stumble into something actually educational. Now? It feels like sterile gauze held by total fascists. Do you guys at least get some kind of kickback for spending twenty-four hours a day being this pedantic? I mean, there has to be some sense of satisfaction in all this, right? Or are you actually into this fascist restructuring? Since you can't go out and play Stalin or Hitler in real life, I guess you decided to settle for being dictators on a message board instead.

Yeah, seriously. What’s the deal with stripping the emojis out of posts? We used to build entire arguments around them. Now they’re gone, right along with that pathetic excuse for bold text in signatures. I can't even format my signature the way I want anymore. And don't get me started on those "I second this" comments. If you actually have something to say, then put in the effort and elaborate on your opinion.

Bring freedom back to LSE! 🙂
