It starts with Idio banning a nazi .

And boy are both sides mad. Carp seething at idio for banning the nazi, rightoids at idio like always, and idio3 seething at carp because of carp being carp. Who will win? With either one be removed, or will both be removed by for maximum drama? Find out when they come come into this thread and sneed. More at 11.

Oh?? You need to go to a town 50 miles away and don't have much time? No problem fam, you can go like 80 mph before a cop even GIVES A SHIT. That highway isn't anywhere near you??? Babe, you're so silly. They all connect and we can get you from A to B in record time, nw. Just listen to Siri and take exit 279B.

And those big scary trucks?? They aren't allowed in the fast lane. 😎 We even post cute safety messages on light up billboards so you don't forget to buckle up (the government cares about you, you don't need God).

God bless the US interstate highway system (especially the Stevenson Expressway) and God bless America.

Marseygen

While I do not agree with everything he says (especially about trans ppl), he has been a great contributor to the rdrama community for a year. Just look at the marseys he's made. If he leaves, I'm not sure it'll be worth staying on this site. It would be an extreme embarrassment if the user with the second highest truescore on rdrama leaves because of stupid BS. While I don't agree with his little movement, it would still be a massive mistake to ban him or scare him off.

And it's not like he hates all trans ppl either. He seems to like or at the very least not hate jc.

And why did rdrama abandon radical centrism recently? Why was it taken over by rightoid agendaposters?

Uploaded to Rumble because I used copyrighted music.

I understand it’s an important historical event but it seems like it was just made up and everyone went along with it because they want a day off. I had never even heard of it before a few years ago. Big yikes, I know. I’m working on addressing my ignorance.

Anyone else blown away at how fast Juneteenth became a “thing”?

Fixed the word retcon

Get your dentures ready, stir some metamucil into your monster and make sure you got some fresh depends on, you old fricks, it's time to reminisce.

If you were speds like me and @garlicdoors you probably spent time reading content online instead of touching grass and playing sports or whatever kids did before ritalin, e scooters and tiktok Youtube didn't exist yet, video hosting was incredibly expensive and IRC was still king. If you werent fortunate enough to have or borrow a credit card and get onto the somethingawful forums, you were relegated to free sites.

In no particular order, I remember spending a massive amount of time on

Pointless Waste of Time

Maddox's Best Page in the Universe

Between all of those SA and PWOT were the ones that ate up most time by a huge margin. Maddox was in the top 3 but as a one man show his updates were less frequent. SA had an incredible archive of B list movie reviews, bizarre indie games and actually funny content. Every english speaking nerdy weirdo would have had some contact with SA in these years. The forums were like an neurodivergent library of alexandria. Meanwhile, the front page had Fashion SWAT, WTF D&D, roamin' dad and various short stories alongside the weekend web, where they'd showcase bizarre web1.0 sites.

PWOT had a front page that in my opinion was as good and often better than SA. The content was better written, even though it was slightly more normie pilled. The forums were less active and worse, but the routinely good articles made up for it.

At some point likely around 2004/2005 Cracked, a print magazine that had historically played second fiddle to MAD magazine, decided to retool its content for the web. Who made this choice, I don't know, but they were absolutely prescient about the future of content and their decision would without exaggeration change internet content entirely.

Before cracked the entire idea of content was different. Longform articles were king. Most websites were text with few pictures, hand written in HTML and still mostly called web logs as the term blog didn't exist yet. Most of this was due to bandwidth constraints. Anyone who was online at the time was on dialup, and complex content alienated your viewerbase, not only were load times glacial but it wasn't uncommon for internet to be charged by the kilobyte.

Maddox's content was pretty emblematic of the time.

It was just words, maybe a jpg. The format began to change with the advent of DSL and digital cameras, and so content diversified. Something changed and hosting costs became trivial and websites took full advantage. No longer could you store an entire web ring on a single floppy diskette.

The blogosphere took off but content was still esoteric and cozy. I remember this one guy who lived by the mexican border and would post weird mexican grocery store products, or this one nerd who designed a 555 timer circuit to trigger the camera he attached to his cat's collar. Now you can probably find thousands of hours of cat POV content but he might have been the only one to do it back then.

What does this have to do with Wong? He had cultivated a large following on PWOT and had by this time written at least one novel. His work ethic was admirable and he posted regularly and as far as I know wasn't involved in drama. He wasn't irony poisoned or egomaniacal, like Lowtax or maddox.

Him and most, if not all, of the PWOT writers were hired on by cracked. At first the articles followed the standard format at the time:

But some point around 2006 Wong struck gold with the Listicle format. Normies were flooding the net now, everyone was on facebook, eternal september was irreversible. Youtube was taking off and most sites were pivoting to video. Most notably CH and the Onion, who's content then declined dramatically imo.

It's fun to shit on listicles now but 2006 era cracked was good. The authors wrote long, informed and entertaining articles about all kinds of weird trivia. Traffic to cracked skyrocketed, proto redditors flocked to the site. There were still some essay posts and older style content at this time, but it was getting rarer. The format got clicks, and other sites took note. Almost overnight it seemed that the entire internet was just listicles.

But cracked's golden age wouldn't last. The content soon turned entirely to listicles and the well ran dry. I'm not sure if they ran out of good writers (how many people can condense an entire 101 history course into 6 funny paragraphs?) or if Wong saw that normiepilled content drove more views. Soon the topics were exclusively vidya, comics and pop culture.

Apparently it still pays the bills and Wong is still executive director and has not done anything notable since, to my knowledge. The site exists but the content is the worst it has ever been:

Neekolul apparently she is a streamer. Most of her pics look meh but I liked 3 of them.

However I would not be surprised if she is dumb which makes me sad.

“Ohh celcius is so much better chud!! its OBJECTIVE “

keep yourself safe. why the frick is the boiling point of water objective, and why is it relevant to the outside temperature.

if you really wanted OBJECTIVE you should use kelvin, but you don't. why not? because you dont want to say its 298 degrees outside. but i dont want to say its 10-30 degrees outside.

fareignheit is actually well adjusted for outside temperature, at least in America. the temperature is rarely outside the 0-100 range, although it does occasionally reach there

and i wouldnt care if it were for the smug autists from American vassal states with a superiority complex. you seriously have to be neurodivergent to INSIST on using a system based in HECKIN SCIENCE

E:

Hey friends. You've probably heard the news of DLMO leaving the site after being the victim of a harassment campaign by users of this site. Unfournately we've lost one of our cherised geopolitical experts due to the actions of these users.

For the time being, I've decided that Im going to stop posting drama and will instead post my geopolitical takes instead, until DLMO (hopefully) returns.

Before we get to the post, I liked to tribute this song this song to DLMO

There are many conservatives, and some progressives who fear (and possibly some who dream) that China's authoritarianism is going to outpace and outcompete the west economically and bring in a century of Centralized control

But, this isn't going to happen in the slightest bit. China is collapsing

Thanks to the one child policy China has amongst the worst demographics of any country in the world.

According to official numbers China's population is on track to decline from 1.4 billion to 700 million by century's end.

Leaks and other metrics think it is even worse than the CCP's official numbers suggest. They suspect Chinese population growth is already negative and could drop below 1 billion as early as 2050.

China watchers have know this was coming, and known China cannot sustain its retired population with so few workers and so little wealth

Baring some insane military play, involving not just Taiwan, but old school imperial conquest of large chunks of south-east Asia there's no real way for China to get around this apocalyptic societal problem and even that probably wouldn't be enough

30+% of China's economy is tied up producing one good: Real Estate.

This should be confusing.

How can an economy with a shrinking population be that dependent on real estate?

Supply & demand. Demand is shrinking so prices must be falling

We've all seen the photos of China's ghost cities, hundreds of cities with thousands of massive housing complexes each, almost all sitting empty.

People assume the CCP is paying to build these as a make work scheme, but the truth is vastly, VASTLY Darker.

They're all sold.

The Chinese have near the highest savings rate in the world, yet they don't trust the Stock or Bond market (understandably since there's no transparency)

So all their savings they pour into real estate.

As a result China has the most expensive real estate in the world, by income

Despite a GDP of 10k per person (USD) condos in China average 200k in most cities and creep towards the million mark in others.

Parents mortgage their homes to help make their kids down-payment

Many of the second and third condos Chinese investors buy never get finished

Indeed since living in a Condo throws off the Feng Shui for future inhabits leaving it unfinished actually improves its speculative value, or so they claim

It certainly hasn't stopped purchases

If this sounds like the worst housing bubble ever, it is. The raw force of the demographic decline will inevitably destroy this bubble.

EverGrande was a huge scandal , but now citizens are striking and refusing to pay mortgages on condos that stopped mid build

And this is all without mentioning the Zero COVID policy and the dystopian lockdowns which have only just ended.

China commitment to Zero COVID and grandstanding off the "success" of their early lockdowns, has left Xi and the Party trapped.

The Chinese shot grants vastly less immunity than the western ones...(saying something)

While the Chinese Lockdowns "Worked" vastly better than western ones.

also China might be vastly more vulnerable due to poor air quality and the age of their population

Now that the CCP has finally pivoted away from lockdowns there are hundreds of millions of aging Chinese citizens about to get sick for the first time that have near zero immunity and they're going to be testing for cancer and other disease they ignored during lockdown

China's healthcare was on edge before the pandemic and we've already seen how even western healthcare degraded in the past few years from a mix of the pandemic and bad policy (Like firing unshotted workers during a labour crunch when the shot doesn't restrict transmission)

Think of the huge culture wars western countries had over their implementation and end... the resentments at their enforcement, the emotional commitments and animosity between those who supported vs. opposed

And now imagine ending them all at once, without victory, after sacrificing so much more than even the most authoritarian western country

Only for deaths to spike because everyone's lungs are shredded from chinese air quality

All this will be happening as the economy continue to crash that WILL cause the largest housing crash in human history, and that WILL wipe out the collective savings of the entire country right as 240mil Chinese boomers retire

China doesn't have a meaningful social security system. They can't afford it

Horrible poverty exists near those shiny towers

Third world conditions are everywhere and that's what people will be reduced back to

The world once manufactured in the rust belt too

Soon millions living off well under 10k a year will wonder that their unfinished apartments once cost hundreds of thousands.

WARNING: Foid nonsense

and in the middle of the lane… some people’s kids. Frick

Ummm… those are my kids. And she just learned a valuable lesson. Now she knows what she didn’t know.

Actually her mom LMAO

Darn Theresa you got some dumbass kids…

I would say you shouldn’t reproduce but that’s obviously too late.

BONUS COMMENT:

Is this the same girl that thought she was going to a Mavs playoff game, but turned out to be a watch party?

OP : Yes it is

GOOD NIGHT I HATE WOMEN

post something from the 90s. Here is my contribution. @Landlord_Messiah used too love going too DZ discovery zone as a kid. Zoomers will never understand!

Trans lives matter

>ITT we post our least popular opinions

Post an unpopular opinion ITT. Whichever comment is most unpopular gets 1000 MBux.

If you agree with an opinion, upvote it. If you disagree, downvote it. I'll make a poll with the top few options, then whoever wins that poll will be the winner.

!chuds !nonchuds !downvoters get in here

Let the begin

Dude bottom text lmao

Why can't you losers come up with a great bait idea like you've used to? What happened to radical centrism? Is this site a rightoid circlejerk now (at least that TreeClimber chud is chudded for now)? Maybe I need a break?

I miss 2021 rdrama when there were less chuds and high quality gay-ops were popping off every week. Dramatards were capable of raiding every thread and creating at least one high quality bait sub every week, along with more balanced reportmaxxing. Now it's r-slurred reportmaxxing, gay-ops that fail because nobody knows how to be subtle or launch them without being prepared. There hasn't been a funny drama post in weeks and every post and comment is making me . Don't tell me touching grass will help, because I can't stop thinking about this shitty site. Radical Centrism seems like it's become the minority ideology, being replaced with the most unfunny rightoids possible.

Frick all of you! I need a break and I'll regret posting this later. Please grass me. BTW this has nothing to do with Donkey Kong December, it's a great idea!

Context: reddit jannie gets salty when people talk shit about his people

these kids cool as heck no cap

yes I stole this from /r/redscarepod top posts

Don't cheat, r-slurs. I missed one because I forgot about Washington state (I picked Oregon as bordering Canada but who cares about those states anyways)

Edit2: I'll categorize this list by activity and create sub-categories later today and probably add to it over time. I put it together so it'd be easier for people to find fun fringe drama or otherwise be entertained. Enjoy!

Please comment if you have others to add to the list. I bit off more than I can chew because apparently there's thousands of these, so I omitted ones that were boring, inactive, and/or redundant.
