The famous post “I shat myself in my maths exam” has been deleted
Heartbreaking. Gone but not forgotten - its memory lives on
Your integrity is inspiring and that’s why I have so much respect for you. Keep going champ with trying to improve yourself.
I’m happy you had fun on your camp getaway - we missed your great posts on wasteof!
I just went to the greatest camp I’ve ever been to
Please read all of this as it’s important
On Monday I drove to Liberty University with my friend @/grunklebillsback to go to Student Life Camp (https://studentlife.lifeway.com) with our church and about 1000 other kids. Let me tell you, this camp was unbelievable. There truly is no way to get across how good it was if you weren’t there.
God did incredible things, including bringing 6 kids from my youth group to him. (Quick sidenote: there were about 1100 people there, and our youth group had 45 people there. Extrapolating this leads to about 145 people who were brought to Christ this week!!) He was truly at work this week. I truly think, if any of you were there, you would instantly be convinced that God exists. The events of last week are impossible to refute if you actually witnessed them.
This was a once in a lifetime experience. Every single leader, including those who had been to hundreds of camps before, said this was special.
And this is not even getting into the lore (ask me about Elevator Man and the 9th floor sometime!)
Last week was the pinnacle of my life so far.
But God really convicted me of something. You guys were put on my heart very strongly.
So I have to admit: I have wronged you.
I have not walked in love towards you.
I have not been gracious and kind, especially in my speech.
I have put my own interests above yours.
I have been prideful, mean, angry, hateful, and negative.
I have not been Christlike in any way, shape, or form.
So, I deeply apologize for this. Please forgive me. I have done wrong to you.
It is only through the power of Christ that I can overcome these sins. I know most of you aren’t Christians, and I’ve probably put a bad taste for Christians, but I’ve acted wrongly towards you and others. Please forgive me.
Hot take: The Opera GX twitter account is actually the cringiest and unfunny account to ever exist
Yeah Pepsi is a great replacement instead of vapes, and I hit the Pepsi for energy before I hit the griddy!
Why hit the vape when you can hit the griddy - suggested by @dertermenter
Just sent my vigorous and stern contact us essay to the Scratch Team to question over my unfair bans
They will do one of the following:
Give a generic reason to why I was banned (what the alerts say)
Agree with me that they’ve made mistakes and that they will unban me early (extremely unlikely)
Tell me that my contact is message was too insulting (it wasn’t) and ban me permanently.
Not answer
What do you think they will do?
banned again from Scratch, this time for a week.
The way the Scratch Team have treated me is disgraceful. Both bans are bullshit.
Hot take: the scratch team moderation has got way worse in the past year, I’ve received way more unfair/harsh alerts (which are also too vague) and I’ve also seen new Scratch Team members making way more mistakes than they should be, despite them getting training. Does the Scratch Team need to implement more training for moderators?
I understand that activity is high, but it is lower than in prime covid where moderation seemed a lot better, it was near perfect imo
when you get banned from Scratch for the dumbest reason of all time:
This is my favourite riddle due to how challenging it is:
If you were a blind person, how would you tell someone that you were hungry?
I would personally do a motion of me eating, seems the best and clearest method.
-1 sports are great for you physically and mentally and watching them is thrilling/entertaining for a lot of sports (football especially)
and money shapes a lot on how good your life is, we all want it
Things people like way too much:
Sugar and carbs
Money
Sex (also porn)
Sleep
Celebrities
Watching sports
What else?
You ever see a decision and think, “yeah, that’s the worst one they can do” and then they do one even worse?
Sure sure temporary blah blah blah BUT THIS RUINS THE ENTIRE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A BIT
HOW has a social media become pay 2 win?
Food hot take #11: Fizzy drinks suck. The fizziness ruins the taste of the actual flavour. Squash is clear.
Also of course they are extremely unhealthy and some artificial sweeteners have links to cancer
1 Month on from my last food hot take…
Ignorance is bliss. Some days, I would like to go back in time and never have any of the controversy every happen.
And yet, it made me better as a person. I now innately understand why and how the internet sucks, and I can try to actively fight against it.
I understand why some people don’t like me for trying to go against the grain, but it’s obviously much better on many levels to do it this way.
I want to make a YouTube video explaining the reasons why the internet sucks, and how I would go about fixing it.
I love how people don’t like anything even remotely logical online. It’s like the internet is tuned against trying to understand all sides of an issue.
It leans very, very heavily towards tribalism. I’ve seen it a lot. It’s because you have a lot of choice about who you associate with, so you usually choose someone who agrees with you.
This tribalism leads to you always thinking that you’re right (because you’re only listening to people who agree with you constantly).
That’s one of the big reasons why i personally try to follow and interact with everyone. I don’t want to be surrounded by yes-men all the time. I need people to disagree with me.
This lack of negative feedback is one of the biggest problems with the internet. And like I said, it comes from the choice you have about who you listen to.
So really, the huge connected network of the internet (which connects billions of people) really leads to less communication between groups, less sharing and debating, and more tribalism.
Instead of hearing from everyone on earth, you only hear from the people you agree with. You just hear from more of them, not less.
Basically, one of the big reasons the internet sucks is because most people choose to only hear from people they agree with.
