  • Not particularly.

    There was so much to deal with back then. So many different rule sets to follow, so many differences in each community, so many sign-up and on-boarding processes for posting or contributing each.

    I miss the internet itself from that time period, and I realize that there is a certain community feel that is missing due to how congregated the current internet is, but I still don’t really miss forums specifically all that much.












  • A spokesman for the Pokémon Company International told the Daily Beast, “We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”

    It’s pure damage control. It’s a shame to see it.

    Don’t get me wrong, there could be a take down request going on in the background, but that’s futile. DHS and ICE are federal agencies. Taking on federal agencies is near impossible for a variety of reasons I won’t get into. The process is entirely in the governments favor, and always has been, even prior to a fascist regime taking over.

    Given all that, it would be much more comforting to see the companies involved speaking out a bit more, but that’s asking for too much I’d say.







  • Sure, if they’re abandoned.

    The issue is that we have so, so many stray cats. So, so many cats left in shelters. We do not need people to breed more cats just so people can have their very expensive and very specifically bred designer furbaby. We need people to take care of the ones that already exist and are already struggling.
