Perhaps not the whole world, but I’m many/most countries, the larger structures, like government and business, absolutely are anti-intellectual. Nice to have an academic friend group, but that doesn’t change the fact that capitalism makes education less accessible in order to rely on an undereducated workforce, and then politicians push it even further for the sake of easy control.
Yes, the internet is much bigger than it was in 2003, and it needs more complex protective tools. The fact that you haven’t noticed cloudflare when it is working is a sign that it is, well, working.
And the fact that your favorite sites aren’t down more often is yet another sign. Downtime due to DDOS attacks alone would be so much greater without cloudflare than downtime due to cloudflare currently is. Your perspective is a pure lack of knowledge and an excess of confirmation bias.
Thank you I am glad it’s clear
Yeah, the commenter considers himself a legend, but he doesn’t get the joke in the image. It’s funny because his comment is unexpected as a response to the original poster’s caption.
No way, never. That’s just not who I am.
A “little bit” doesn’t begin to cover it…
Ah thank you, I’d somehow missed. Much appreciated!
But isn’t the comment from 2012? I didn’t know if there was a specific connection or reference in it
What’s the context for the capped 4chan comment?
I think he probably meant laserdiscs
Lolol would love to see the studies on this. You seem like you must be a doctor or something, with this well backed-up, unassailable scientific truth. We got an expert over here guys!
There are so many different definitions and connotations with it both regarding the kink/lifestyle and the more traditional origin of the word. There’s something embarrassing about your wife cheating on you without your knowledge (and typically due to some shortcoming of the cuckolded party), and with that being the oldest and traditional definition, it makes sense that it wouldn’t have a positive connotation.
Then you have the cuckolds who actually like to be emasculated and demeaned, who often talk about not being allowed to fuck their own wives and how superior other guys are at it. Seems like these guys want to be embarrassed by it and freaking flood the internet with porn of them being belittled, licking up creampies, doing a whole bunch of shit that people are obviously going to react to, and that’s sorta why they’re doing it. As someone with no interest in that, seeing it all over online feels similar to furry culture, which is easy to understand why it gets jokes and dragged on.
Then you have the more swinger-y cucks who still have sex with their wives and stuff, but aren’t really the first thing people think of when they think “cuck,” since the other types are much louder and more notable. And still within this category, there’s definitely a suspicion among non-cuckolds that some of the guys do this because they can’t satisfy their wives, or because their wife wants to more than they do and they just go along with it. While that may not be true for most couples who actually engage in it, it does make it easy to see where some more traditional folks could find discomfort/humor in it.
A lot of the reality flies in the face of these stereotypes, like couples I know where the guy has been into it and the girl has not, but it’s still easy to wonder (with a bit of comic derision) why some guy is so desperate to have someone else fuck his gf, especially/even when it isn’t even for her. Absolutely not endorsing any of these beliefs, but mentioning them because it feels pretty obvious to me that/why a lot of men would consider many of the different types of cuckolding embarrassing or something to make jokes about.
It’s evolving, just backwards
Pixelated photos of Joe Rogan, wigs photoshopped onto Putin to make him look like a woman, and a claim that he is a nondescript bearded man who, in carrying out a clandestine operation, stood next to Osama in a published video? This is the stuff of crackpot dreams, like the video that went viral a decade ago claiming Osama and Obama were the same person.
