Thou'st see-eth me rolling, thou'st hating.

The gentlemen amongst the homes are always tough.
If thou arriveth speaking in insults, we shall verily receive gossip from your allies.
I only knoweth to be an honest man.
Do not quoth mine words, for I haven't spaketh.

I miss how fun Fark was before I became aware of how conservative the mods are. The more of the conservatism I saw, the more I realized the place was not really for normal people and I felt like an intruder. I was so happy to find Reddit.

Also everything being in a single thread often resulted in me giving up on bothering. And the contrast immediately attracted me to Reddit (I think I went from checking Fark daily to just never going back when I discovered Reddit, at least not until the API changes).

Interesting. Because they didn't share your viewes, you felt they weren't "normal" people?

Then you found Reddit, which (at least today) is fairly left wing. And you're happy you found it, because it's filled with people who share your views.

they didn't share your viewes (sic)...

Correct. Racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and other conservative bigotry are not views I share with conservatives, so I felt it would be best to find another place.

you felt they weren't "normal" people?

Correct. I do not consider harmful conservative ideologies to be consistent with the ideologies one would expect from normal people. Although, I concede that conservatives likely consider their own bigotry to be perfectly normal.

You can find those views literally anywhere online with varying degrees

No offense, but you sound like a typical online conservative who thinks all leftists are commie loving, America hating, flag stopping, socialists vegans.

You obviously hate an entire group of people for some views that are not shared by all. This is dangerous and I would encourage you not to paint with such a broad brush.

Though I realize as I'm typing this you've already convinced yourself you are right and anyone who disagrees with you is wrong so this is a futile effort on my part. Safe journey.

Take it to the limit.

I still can't believe they made a movie based on this one, and it was just a crappy rom-com and not a true time travel thing.

Fark and Slashdot.

Someone on Lemmy had posted the gold spray paint huffing guy the other day... that will never not be funny and sad simultaneously.

I learned about the world trade center attack on Fark. All of the major new sites crashed so people were using it to share information in real time.

I miss how fun fark photoshops and similar threads were. Haven't though about !!!11eleventy111!! I a long time.

Yes, but let's keep the good parts. This is a great start.

Do Sports by Brooks models count?

I use Fark daily, except for the days that the squirrel with big balls decides to get drunk (servers go down)

You sure type well for someone who can neither see nor hear, Anne.

/ Nothing is obscure on fark

I summon Bevets!

Oh boy, when he would get into it with Fark's resident Israel apologist Tatsuma. What a shitshow.

I'd rather have PocketNinja.

Seriously it would make my year to read one of those nonsense posts only to scroll up and see who duped me.

I had completely forgot about Bevets...

/pulls summons bevets card

I have an old 1TB hard drive from 2010 that is full of these kinds of memes. Caturday, Ya rly owls, the whole works. I should stop by Fark and see how it's doing.

Never used fark, though it seems I would have got right in. Sad to think of the good times I probably missed out on.

I still browse Fark daily, if that’s what you mean.
