  • What discussions happen on discord?

    You ever have an issue with anything and you find the answer on some random reddit discussion that ends up in your search results when you’re looking around?

    Discord isn’t really like the older methods of chatting, where people used platforms to chat for the sake of chatting. Entire communities from forums decided to just upend everything and move into discord. Niche software and other files are often shared among discord communities, or assistance for said files and programs is offered only through specific discord communities.

    The platform is still better than anything we had back in the day, it’s just that for some reason people have decided that everything needs to be stored in there.

    Anyway, I don’t see much changing. People will probably attempt to take this culture onto whatever new platform they move onto.



  • women don’t wash their hands as often

    I could believe this. Not saying the men’s are much better as I’d say they’re definitely just as bad, but my wife used to tell me horror stories about the women’s restrooms before she swore off ever using one again outside of emergencies.









  • World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That’s really where it starts for a lot of people.

    The American Civil War is mostly where you’ll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There’s a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it’s impact on the course of the war.

    Falklands? I want to assume that if you’re British then you’d like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.

    French and Indian War? I’d just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you’re currently living in the area that it occurred.






  • I really don’t like short-form media. Sure, these people have always existed, but this really promotes it. There’s no room for lengthy explanations either in the video or outside of it in text form.

    Say what you will about blogs or youtube, but at least people have text space to add citations and references.
