eyebuydirect told me they were putting the finishing touches on my glasses on the 5th and it’s the 10th now. i’m gonna scream i want my new glasses!!!!
>>294835 >>294842 Microsoft/Outlook. Tons of Brazil, Russia, India, all overseas but I'm sure it's VPNs. I think I'm pretty secure, it's just unnerving seeing all these attempted logins. Seriously an onslaught. Multiple attempts all day and night. I'm a boring anon, kek. But I know my email address wound up in data breaches just like almost everyone else, I was just surprised at the sheer number of attempted logins. How often do you n0nnies change your password? Mine is a bunch of gibberish of course.
i need the site back up so i can bitch in the employment thread!!!!!! my current job is making me want to off myself (but i wont do anything because i have a cat) so thoughts and prayers i actually get a callback tomorrow i cant fucking do it anymore
>>294863 >Now I feel better about having complimented people’s hair when I was a cashier kek; I did it to be nice and social but later wondered if doing stuff like that is creepy
Giving out compliments to young girls and women is always good imo. Women supporting women. I always feel so self conscious in public but when I've been complimented on my nail polish color it's just made me happy for hours, kek. I guarantee that girl or woman you complimented on her hair or makeup or eye color or whatever felt the same way.
>>294915 I believe they got a free trial, so you could test that to see if you like it. But, from what I've seen, people tend to prefer other services when it comes to chatbots/using AI for yume purposes.
Don't mind me, just pondering the fact that all of our female admins have gotten much more shit and years-long personal attacks than the moid OG admin who picked out farmers to date and gave mod logins to cows in addition to doing everything the female admins have been criticised for/accused of (ghosting the site, having meltdowns, controlling things from behind the scenes despite pretending to have stepped down, fraternising with cows). How come that even within our ranks, women get the short end of the stick every time. Most of the women admins have had longer runs than OG admin too. I don't understand. The explanation has to be either misogyny or newfaggotry.
>>294863 girl on girl compliments are kino, i love them, it makes me happy getting complimented on an outfit or makeup or something (from a girl) so keep building up your fellow women nona
it comes from an entirely different place than “”compliments”” from men. men are not trying to build your confidence they’re trying to poke it with a stick and see if it pops like a balloon kek
>>294922 >>294915 I never tried novelai but if you have money and plan to spend it, I highly recommend claude opus. A lot of people use it for rping but it's generally amazing for creative writing, prompting it to write stories, ideas etc. I do not recommend gpt for more than just brainstorming, since it's boring as hell.
I hate when I click an interesting video but the scrote has his face taking up 25% of the screen and he doesn't even have the decency of being attractive. Do voice only why are you subjecting me to this? I refuse to watch actually and will leave a comment advising him to not show face going forward
>>294961 I really like tapioca pearls, the texture is so good and they’re only slightly sweet so I can eat so many without my stomach hurting. Add those to a lavender or rose milk tea and you have nirvana in a cup
>>294961 Popping fruit pearls can be pretty good, although I'm more traditionalist when it comes to boba and prefer tapioca pearls. I enjoy taro flavor the most. Not a fan of the other types of additives (also cause they freak me out)
>>294961 i love me some aloe or fruit flavored jellies, I really like the texture, they're like firmer jello. Though I feel they definitely aren't as versatile as the traditional boba, like I wouldn't want aloe or other jellies in a more traditional tea flavor, but they're fantastic in fruit milk teas or smoothies. One of my faves to get is a pina colada smoothie with mango jellies
>>294963 i’ll have to try those. the popping boba seems second popular to tapioca. >>294962 kek are we the same person, lavender and rose milk tea are my all time favorite and i get excited everytime i see them on a menu. also, i love coffee with some light lavender syrup once in awhile.
>>294880 I decided to pull my tarot cards on why lolcow is down and pulled masculine court cards.. I got code of conduct/cease and desist but idk what that means, if it’s hosted by cloudflare wouldn’t it make it obvious it would be taken down for “hate speech” made on the website because their TOS?
this is gonna sound so autistic but i rp on twitter to get my yaoi fix but lately i feel so insecure about my writing. then i lose my desire to go on which stagnates my accounts which goes back to me being insecure since i don’t get interactions. i love rping but god does my bpd ruin it for me. anyways thanks for letting me vent nonitas.
>>294967 cease and desist aka Kathy has finally found a pro bono lawyer to take us all down. I’ve been predicting this from day one! pack your bags people, we’re all going to jail
>>294974 Imagine soygirling and seething over a pack of cards with pretty illustration on them. I love my cards and wouldn’t go without them, stay in the dark you dirty filthy spiritless hylic
>>294979 What drama? If you’re referring to the unannounced ongoing maintenance, and/or potential issues, we’re in the dark about them. All we have been told is that they encountered unexpected problems that were taking longer to fix than they had originally anticipated.
>>294979 Nothing really, just some spats starting and then people either getting autobanned or permabanned off the website for being a farmer. Some have decided to leave completely, some are still stinking to these bunkers, some have tried invading other I sites like fujochan and got immediately banned off by the fat koreaboo moderator on their /ot/ board. You’re not allowed to post certain keywords mainly used on lolcow. Cerbmin claimed they would be done with maintenance over the weekend but it’s already passed and has been about 2 weeks since it’s been down? Just my guess. Nothing interesting, everything is just stale, sanitized, and boring, just like it has been for years now no matter where you go on the internet.
>>294967 aww n0nna you inspired me to try too. i used the nostradamus pack and got the fool, VI of moon, and II of stars. i think the cards i pulled definitely reflected the users more so than what is actually going on with the site. the cards i drew gave me: feeling nostalgic and maybe a bit disillusioned about the past of the site while experiencing some sort of new chapter. i’m not huge into tarot myself but it is still fun and can give meaning to events!
>>294979 Literally no one knows anything, it's supposed to come back up tonight but it's been delayed the last few times and we're not getting much info about what the problem is. It's giving us a 403 error now instead of a cloudflare page which is new from a few hours ago. This bunker has been pretty normal, there was some sporadic infighting and some autobannings and subsequent split offs into other bunkers on other boards.
I put off important things all day but finally cleaned my house some. I wish I could be productive and enjoy my free time, instead of just feeling frozen in laziness all the time.
Also I'm excited to see everyone back on lolcow when it comes back.
>>294981 it’s a good card but it’s hard doing a single pill for your future since your future is full of possibilities, wheel of fortune means you’ll obtain success and fortune but it’s not linear, it comes with ups and downs, tests and limitations that you must pass to get to the next level, wheel of fortune is one of my person gambling cards as well – will you win or will you lose? what path will you take? will you sink accidentally into the quick sand or manage to hop over it? very trickster like card, also can talk about the wheel of dharma (samsara) which is just birth, rebirth and death but if you pass it’s tests, you will be rewarded, but if you don’t, you’ll get stuck into the chaos again >>294985 cute, which deck is it? fool means new beginnings which is interesting and could go either way, will we have to find a new beginning elsewhere on another website? ngl those three cards reminds me of a holy mission or pilgrimage KEK >>294991 kek >>294992 i’m crazy but sometimes i just wanna chill and read my cards man, ty
>>294948 I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I've done it multiple times and my adhd just runs wild to the point it's overwhelming and I jist go right back on it.
>>294994 >>294995 i’ve read a bit into qanon and while it’s clearly just a troll-ops targeted towards gullible boomers there was some interesting information that came out it especially w/ pizzagate with those leaked emails between politicians using codewords like pizza, pasta, obviously referring to their taste for baby flesh and blood and child “prostitutes”. idk what those cats and ducks mean, i honestly think he just posted it there to garner attention kekkk maybe he’s just shitposting? what’s odd is that i only searched up “cat and duck story” nothing else on google just now and besides a bunch of videos for children there was this?? odd >>294998 nvm, i believe it though, people used to do that but with rats during the great depression, they’re bringing in people with great depression poverty mindset and learned behavior from this dysfunction so i wouldn’t be surprised
>eating ducks and cats >haitian kek okay, i’m about 80% sure this is true because my family is carribean and i’ve heard crazy stories from that country that would make me believe this
>>295009 Is junkuchan an actual cow or just some spaz that gained attention during lockdown? I’ve been seeing them mentioned in threads (somebody posted their friend finder profile pics?) and can’t tell if somebody let a cow into the bunker or if it’s been in here with us all along
>>294994 I think this is in reference to the conservative fear of Haitians eating peoples cats, so this image is depicting Trump protecting the cats and ducks I think.
>>295008 There have been migrants in my state/town since before they hit Ohio. If they were really eating people's pets, the issue would've come up everywhere, not some random town in flyover country.
the lc diaspora has been absolutely embarrassing since the site went down. demanding things and whining to mods from other imageboards when they have zero obligation to, constantly powerleveling when no one cares on an anonymous board, revealing theyre like the cows on lc. this is pathetic go touch grass. feels like its the people ruining lc who are the loudest
I wouldn't exactly say I had a nightmare, but it sure made me wake up uncomfortable. Dreamed I was at a small, very casual party when a former friend showed up. She seemed to be able to be polite and friendly enough at first, so a part of me hoped we could mend our former friendship. Then she started talking about how she wanted to show us how to "buy clothes similar to Taylor Swift" or something like that and demanded to use my phone instead of her own to show everyone on a bigger screen. For some reason I had a bunch of kiwifarms tabs open, which she recognized and started making fun of me and calling me pathetic for browsing KF. Then she was…somewhat friendly again, but still holding onto my phone. Later in the party she claimed to have found a vlog I supposedly did years ago but didn't remember at first, but then it hit me that I did a cringey but fairly innocuous one on a bus trip when I was 14. She kept claiming I was actually 18-19 in the video so I would look like a complete retard in front of everyone, despite me trying to show proof that her claims were false, and then she added that she sent it to all our friends and everyone thought I was embarrassing and pathetic behind my back. I don't even browse KF nor have I ever even considered making a vlog in my life so I guess dream me is a bit cringey kek but damn was this an uncomfortable dream. The embarrassment and discomfort is still hanging over me.
I previously took my antidepressants right after I woke up without eating anything and I always wondered why I still felt like shit. Today I took them after I had a nice secret breakfast at work and fuuuuuuck I feel amazing
>>294993 I know it's a bit random, but what does that pattern on the pic you posted means/stands for? it looks cute and I kind of want it as a small tattoo.
>>295051 You should try to brute force it. When I started drinking black coffee I was gagging for the first few weeks. Then you get used to it and it becomes delicious, I love some properly filtered black coffee mmmmm
>>295087 I'm just done. What's the point of using /ot/ now since all threads are broken and now I can no longer read through old threads? There's seriously no point because now /ot/ is just gonna be newfags infighting and baiting and that's that. So why should /ot/ even be allowed to stay open? Seriously it's so obvious Cerbmin and jannies want LC to have no off topic boards at all, so they should just finally close /ot/ and get it over with. I'm not gonna use LC for a long time after this I'm actually really upset and disappointed and angry.
>>295098 Not sure how this answers the question. "Bong" also refers to people from Bongland, aka the UK, not Serbia. Also I don't think Cerberus was canonically British in mythology.
>>295065 omg my tin foil is it was Blake Lively’s team. There were some really weird posts in there the last few weeks trying to make out that because people didn’t like her hair we were massive misogynists and pro-Johnny Depp. In other words, definitely not familiar with lc. Last ditch was using all that deadpool money to take down the board! I won’t be convinced otherwise.
I’ve really enjoyed the bunker as usual (well, the chill euronons morning chats), thanks cc
>>295002 not sure where to start but he dated or tried to date multiple farmers and way before we ever had a discord we had an on-site chat and he was e-dating a mod on there who accidentally used his real name once. he would make drastic changes on a whim even if they made no sense and had a loose mouth so if you emailed him or talked to him in chat he'd divulge all kinds of shit in a stream of consciousness rant while refusing to be present on the site. he stepped down because he got drunk and raged out about spam on the site and gave lc to a friend but then he kept running things from behind the scenes for multiple admins that came afterwards because he was never willing to give up control. yet with all that and his first name being known he never got half the scrutiny and dox attempts of any other admin that came after him.
>>295142 the best thing he did was being extremely intolerant towards disruptive posters. he proudly talked about using 'idiot traps' to trick users into identifying themselves and posted their personal information. none of the current day chronic baiters would have survived oldcow, it was much more ruthless. they're only as annoying as they are because they have nothing to fear with the new admins. you'd piss someone off and get catfished until your nudes or other personal photos get posted and no nice admin would delete them for you, it was a female admin after him who made a rule that you can't post revenge porn and leaked nudes. he abandoned the site for long periods of time and let it be run by 2 overzealous farmhands who outed users without double checking which eventually led to him firing the whole team. he was technically proficient but only wanted to work on passion projects like fun gimmicks instead of implementing quality of life features.
I’m really sad but not at all shocked at all the images we lost. You run on old technology, you’re gonna get hacked. Tinyboard is old. None of our previous admins wanted to go through with updating the site, and look what happened because of it.
>>295152 one admin tried to move to a more modern code base and when she showed the unfinished prototype she got so much backlash because it was too ugly and threads weren't ported yet
>>295152 I was thinking something like this was gonna happen. I think the hacker story is bullshit, and now in the /meta/ threads you can't even question it because the tards are there to wk Cerbmin and eat his ass. It's so annoying.
>>295155 No, I haven't been banned yet on LC and I have a VPN so I can just evade. I'm just annoyed that Cerbmin disappeared again after giving us a bullshit update.
>>294925 >>295142 >yet with all that and his first name being known he never got half the scrutiny and dox attempts of any other admin that came after him. I can think of several good reasons. >lolcow back then had fewer "radfems" and "femcels" than it does now and was broadly more relaxed when it came to gender relations (e.g. no specific rule against moids) so the double standard would not have crossed many farmer's minds >most users on lolcow today joined after 2019 so have no clue what went on or what the site culture was like In all honesty I didn't really start checking /meta/ until a few years ago and wasn't a sh0efag either so I was mostly unaware of what was happening around the time.
>>295160 there was a rule about men, but it wasn't as strict as now. anyway, my point is that all admins have been called cows and there are vendettas against every female admin even if she has stepped down years ago and all their mistakes are regurgitated still to this day even by farmers who by their own admission weren't around then, but the one moidmin is untouchable and nobody is ever curious about him.
>>295161 >there was a rule about men No there wasn't, not explicitly at least. You can go on the Wayback Machine and see for yourself, it doesn't pop up until 2018—that was about the time that "radfems" had found a home on LC. >there are vendettas against every female admin There's only been vendettas against Oldmin/Shaymin, who was still in charge when this new generation came around. Regina (you'll see the name pop-up) was never admin as per >>295147 There have been (excluding "Cerbmin") at most three unique admins, but only one that most farmers have known—Shaymin. 90% of current farmers don't know enough about lolcow pre-2018 to critique or scrutinize those admins, hence why Ian doesn't get as much shit as he deserves. It's also the reason why newfags get excited when farmhands or the admin throw them a bone—because they haven't been here long enough (or don't know enough of the lore) to develop a general suspicion of the people behind LC.
>>295165 You are literally wrong about most of your post. If there weren't vendettas against other admins, then how come this site has been used as a proxy method of attacking other admins even before oldmin? You guys will make excuses for the way you put moids on a pedestal, just look at the way anons are talking about the cuckboard admin when they were banned by female staff on other woman owned ibs. It's hypocritical.
>>295169 you misread my post, there were other admins beyond the ones you listed, they just weren't in full control. they were still the figureheads of the community and targeted as such.
>>295165 In April 2016 OG admin posted a "reminder" which implies it's been brought up even before that: >Men who use this website and randomly announce they're male are the same as women who use /r9k/ and randomly announce they're female. They just want attention.
>>295168 What are you going about? I've never seen anons go after any admin that wasn't some variant of Oldmin or Cerbmin (again, because most anons joined in 2020 or later). The only farmers who ever mention Ian's name are oldfags or users who know the lore. I don't understand why you're so adamant that there's a giant plot against mUh wIMmeNz when it could be more easily explained that 99% of current farmers have no idea who Ian is. >>295171 Soz I deleted the original post but I know what you're referring to. However, that doesn't change that 90% of current farmers have no idea who those people are (or the fact that they were stand-in "admins" rather than normal farmhands), which is why they don't get criticism, and fewer still know who Ian is. You get it? >>295172 That doesn't imply men aren't allowed, though. I don't even think they're still technically banned on LC, they just aren't allowed to announce themselves. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that LC was not a radfem haven back then like it is now and farmers cared less about
>>295173 i already clarified this too. even newfags jump onto hating on the former female admins and indulge in reading up on their milk and ask questions. but nobody outside of what is happening ITT rn is ever curious about the details of OG admin dating farmers and shit like that. it's been brought up before and always results in crickets. it's more fun to hate on the girlmins and some users won't stop spreading their vendetta wherever they go. if you go to old lolcow hate threads on CC you can see them try to find out personal details about any of the older admins down to regina but there are zero questions about the moidmin, zilch. i'm not saying it's some grand conspiracy against the female admins. i only posted my observation and made some people defensive i guess.
>>295173 If you weren't around when the site first launched and the first major admin drama involving spoony, just say that. You clearly aren't an oldfag and can't remember the admins that came after ian, because they were absolutely discussed on this board and previous threads.
>>295174 IDK anon, I guess we aren't viewing the same threads. From what I've seen, newfags aren't very interested in lolcow meta-lore to know anything before Oldmin. I've seen some farmers bring up Ian and all the other drama but what is that good for? He's no longer admin and (allegedly) has no involvement with modern LC. That's why none of those conversations go very far—there's nothing new and nothing actionable. All it does is give oldfags and farmers in the know reasons to be suspicious of the site's staff. >>295175 I still have no clue what you're going on about. Is this some game to prove who remembers the most about lolcow's 10-year history? If so, I'm not that autistic and couldn't care less; I've been on this site since it reincarnated from SR and have already said that I didn't concern myself with /meta/ spergery until a few years ago. I don't care who was admin when, just that the anon I was RT thinks that anons disproportionately rag on female admins over Ian and I've said about 100x that it's because 99% of farmers weren't around for the shit that happened before 2019 and don't care to know what happened. I don't understand why this fact is making you so upset.
>>295176 i think you still don't understand what i'm trying to say. of course none of these conversations are actionable or new. i wasn't trying to make this a debate or argument though so i'm not trying to challenge you on anything, just saying we're probably misunderstanding each other. i appreciate that you've had a normal conversation with me about this without the usual craziness that often happens now.
>>295177 Looking back at your responses I think now I see where I was misreading—I don't visit cc too often nor do I read the lc hate threads so I didn't realize that was what you meant. I'm pretty restricted to the cow boards and honestly never realized /ot/ was a thing until like 2022 KEK. Also kept getting your replies mixed up with the other sperg. >i appreciate that you've had a normal conversation with me about this without the usual craziness that often happens now. Kek I appreciate the comment. Once you get to a certain age you stop reacting in that edgy asshat kind of way that many younger users still think is cool (well, unless the other anon gets belligerent first). I get the sense that many users are probably minors or very young (<20) adults which explains the primitive and overly simplistic way of thinking, overconfidence and braggadocio, and inability to control themselves and not infight over petty shit/take bait.
