I mean, chaos sounds like fun, so why not?

[PunksDead]

why imgur gotta take away the HD -_-

[tp4tissue]

I just don't 'get' those kosmonaut caps...


Please don't hate me, but they just look like something a 3rd-graded would throw together in art class.

that's not nice... be nice

[nubbinator]

I mean, chaos sounds like fun, so why not?

That it is.  Besides, I think the freeloader problem is a bigger one than chaos.

Freeloader problem? Like people only coming here to hoard our knowledge?

That's sad :( GH is awesome!

[Michael]

Why do you need to constantly ****-talk slack? You do realize it isn't GHSlack, right? It's CTRL ALT slack. It's ok to have an IRC for GH, but it's not ok to have a slack community for ctrl alt?
Jesus christ shut the **** up already.

[demik]

What's a good circlejerk without some opposition

[Air tree]

Being honest, I still go on the slack off-topic room.


Still, Demik2016

No, as in people who only take and never contribute or join secret Santa's and never send a gift or are always asking for free stuff but never give anything away.

I have given away keyboard cases, games, caps, and brobots on here before. Please don't talk out your ass.

Additionally I participated in the previous SS with no issues (I think I got ewk? can't remember)

Also, why am I letting you drag me down on my weekend.

Haha, **** off

I was talking in generalities, but if you want to make it about you, go ahead.  Freebies is a beg for **** thread, multiple people have bailed on SS and forced myself and others to make up for it, and more than a few people **** talk and complain constantly without providing any measurable benefit to the community.

People who do that are really low. Like acceptable to look down upon low.

Why you gotta fill an unpopular GH opinions off topic thread with drama, folks? Phooey.

Recently went to another photographing forum... THEY HAD TO APPROVE EVERY SINGLE POST. W T F. (caps intended)

Defeats the purpose of a forum, if you ask me.

That I have been effectively bullied out of the GH classifieds by petty little kids and their sore little buttholes, and when I go elsewhere to help pay for upcoming medical expenses they follow and thread crap there as well.
With zero information, consideration, and seemingly a lack of anything better to do this small group of online bullies just follows my digital footprint around and ****s on it.
Generally I don't care since these folks are of such little importance and their crap stays contained, but when it comes to my actual health you are activly harming - you are a genuine ****.

aaaand cue the standard crying gif and automated secret santa response disregarding the previous 3 years of being a contributing member, but let's focus on that one bad thing forever

They are *not* actively harming your health.

[noisyturtle]

They are *not* actively harming your health.

Keeping me from being able pay for the medical care I need sooner rather than later is actively harming my health. I can sell other things, and will, but they are a drop in the bucket.


I shouldn't even have to explain myself, having to fight people to sell my own possessions is pretty frustrating.

[demik]

You know what's so great about problems related to gh?

We can just leave and bam, no more problems!

The day something on here is actively bothering me and my health.. yeah I'm out.

If someone was going to buy it at that price, the people in the thread wouldn't bother them.

I can't even sell my own **** that I own and bought to pay for a procedure I need that sort of has a time frame on it before it gets bad. And yeah, that's why I took that sale ouside of GH because I knew the ****ty response it would get here. And it happened anyway. Internet bullying at it's finest - when someone can physically harm you with their ****posts.

If you need healthcare, don't blame text on the internet for stopping you from getting it... but maybe stop acting in a way that puts you into those situations in the first place.

You can't sell it why? Because some ****ing nerds are going to cry?

I thought you had more balls than that. I like a lot of people here, but **** if anybody is going to dictate what I sell my **** for or not.

That's a good point, **** the haters. If you're gonna get to the top you got to step on a few heads (or at least their unformed fontanelles.)

Haters gonna hate anyway. That's why they haters. Can be enormously frustrating though, I get that.

It's not even about "haters". It's idiot following a hivemind to fit in. 99% of the users have zero interest in buying anyway. But they gotta look good in front of others so that maybe.. just maybe somebody will come running and say "OMG USE! YOU ARE A MODEL CITIZEN SO HERES A CAP AND A HANDJOB!!"

It's **** like this that makes me legit leave the net for awhile.

Does the cap fulfill a particular purpose DURING the handjob? I'm lost here.. probably my imagination running wild

okay shut the **** up about ****s/boobs/noisy.

move on to actual unpopular opinions

[demik]

Unpopular mod opinion

When we get a warning they gotta be more specific than "attacking users". Maybe a pm with a link to where we attacked said user.

Also no anon mod account. Stand behind your actions. And stop deleting posts unless it's spam. Just warn users.

Unpopular opinions :

Making profit is fine.

People should stop whining when people make profit.

People should stop feeling bad about making profit.

Money is important to most people.

Also, blacklisting users that sell your caps for profit is stupid. Yes it's your product but they paid for it so you are nobody to tell them what they can do or not.

Why are you to tell the cap makers who they should sell to?
