Social The Social Thread 3.2.1

Oh I do. I wasn’t even trying to defend her or her actions. Never was. I was just saying it is rude to joke about someone’s death.

Not that I saw you doing that in particular, but…

I do understand there were gripes, if that is even the right word.

That's how it is.

That and personally I just feel indifferent about it despite being from one of the parts of the UK.
London and the monarchy is on a different island. I feel more connected to the Republic for reasons I'm not gonna get into. You really have to understand for me that Northern Ireland is such a different beast from the rest of the UK.

I hope you understand.

 

[Noipoi]

Ok but it is interesting you'd think it's the Europeans on this thread getting mad at the Americans but... no other way around

Americans in the thread when another president dies:

Americans in the thread when people from other countries do the same thing:

Trust me, I do. Very much.

 

[FazDude]

anyway what do you guys think of bionicle

 

[Shroob]

Well, that happened.


It more or less broke Twitter to boot.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Trust me, I do. Very much.

So we good? No grudge or anything towards me?

2 things:

1.

Anyways who's getting Splat 3 tomorrow?

Got the game preordered and preinstalled on my Switch so I’m ready!
Just hope my Inkling amiibo from 2015 still has a purpose…

2. Regarding the news, saying it’s small would be an understatement. That said, try to remember the fellow user. If you don’t wish to mourn then you do not have to, but remember there are users here who may wish to mourn and some of the things being posted here may draw some lines.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I'm fully aware of the s***** things the UK gov't has done throughout history. Just seems that dancing and celebrating at someone's death when their body isn't even cold seems like something I'd expect more from Twitter or 4chan than here. Perhaps, silence is the best route if you don't have something nice to say.

 

[CannonStreak]

Oh of course.....not! None at all.

Sorry, I just had to say of course not that way.

You know I see a lot of people getting defensive over people making jokes about this but no one seems to actually be mourning her

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Yeah, I heard the tragic news...

2022 can screw itself into a black hole any day now.

I literally saw an animation reviewer make a joke about her heir being Bob the Minion so 90% of my soul is dead now.

 

[cashregister9]

It's Great to see the UK add more Gender Neutral bathrooms though.

anyway what do you guys think of bionicle

Bionicle is based here is my ranking of the Toa Teams separated by design.

1. Mahri
2. Nuva
3. Inika
4. Glatorian
5.Mata
6.Metru
7.Hordika

Now I could say something here but I feel like if I did this thread will actually get shut down

 

[SneakyLink]

Yeah I’ll concede I haven’t seen much mourning.
I know there probably is at least one user who might be mourning so I’m saying it just in case.

There's a great deal of irony in using Jeremy Clarkson here

There's a difference?

Maybe people are afraid to mourn her publicly (on this site) since there seem to be so many jokes and memes.

It shouldn't have to be this way. I mean, I had no connection to her, but to put down others for mourning her is ridiculous. No one should be afraid.

Don't worry guys we're not talking politics, we're talking about people who want dogs dead

Dogs who have access to better food than like half the country, but I thought you Americans were googoo gaga over dogs

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

May you live in interesting times.

It's definitely sad when someone dies

But I think there's several layers of disconnect to be honest


Between a good chunk of this site being based in America
And a lot of people being aware and disdainful towards the royal family's prior actions


I can get why a lot of people are either neutral to downright happy about it.

Honestly that sounds like their problem

Reminder that Queen Elizabeth is not a remnant of colonial times. She was an active participant in colonialism. She actively tried to stop independence movements & she tried to keep newly independent colonies from leaving the commonwealth. The evil she did was enough https://t.co/SDGi0boCzx

Miss me with all the royal defence force bull****, thanks

Basically cis white people and minorities see the world way differently and on days like this it'll show

 

[Shroob]

Like, I should feel a little sad


But I'm also well aware a lot of the horrible things that the British royal family have done in their lifetime so... no?

Incomplete(?) list of amiibo unlockables, click at your own risk.

But if nothing else, every Splatoon amiibo should be compatible with the picture mode that as shown in the Direct, I think?

 

[Jondolio]

I can't speak for the bri'ish but if ny country's prime minister died (well he's not PM right now technically but I think he has a high chance of being re-elected again) I would actually celebrate

Spoiler: i don't think this is spoilers but just in case

Is it me, or do the character models look a bit different from Splatoon 2? Can't quite put my finger on what's off, though.

also why are you robbing us of the full pearl/marina outfits nintendo

 

[Noipoi]

Man, I was gonna put some art on my Twitter today. But no one’s talking about the Pokémon stuff anymore.

Thanks, Liz

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Think it's best we drop the discussion here. Topic's looking a bit too spicy for this thread.

 

[Wario Bros.]

This news didn't make an impact on me but still sad news to hear.

Rest in peace.

I think the people saying we should mourn the 96 year old will be more saddened by the possibility of a Nintendo Direct being delayed by all this rather than the fact a vampire died

well there goes my drink all over the floor


Gwen, you owe me a new bepis for making me spit it out in laughter

Who cares about all that Splat 3 is on the horizon. We ride at dawn Squid Kids

In other news, Gizmo has joined the battle in Multiversus.

As the founder of the Stripe support thread here, I am oblidged to pass along the following message.

ahem

"Gizmo caca."

(joke; gizmo actually looks pretty fun)

That's because the Squid Kids turned into Squid Teens. By Splatoon 4 they'll have turned into adults and be forced to partake in society. No but seriously, the characters in Splatoon 3 are taller and lankier.

A certain Vtuber bought a monkey as a pet



Why would anyone buy a monkey as a pet



Having a monkey sounds like a horrible thing to have as a pet
