Why is the chess assotioation such big abbies anyway? That's just pretty f*cking stupid. Yu-Gi-Oh on the other hand, despite being a card game partially meant for kids, are way more mature than a sport considereded "proffesional"

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info!

I blurred out the names of the people for the sake of their privacy. I saw this thread while scrolling through the subreddit. I'm not sure how to feel about the orange person's comment in particular. It just feels... wrong...

No, on laptop. Why?

Oh, ok. Yeah I completely get it.

Though I do just sometimes have those weird feelings, like with how so many people just look the same aside from the name, that I'm not really talking with other people. Yeah I know that's very silly and unusual but it's just kind of a weird feeling I have, like I'm speaking to a mass conglomerate or a bot instead of a normal, living person. I guess I just got so used to people having their own, detailed profile that someone not having it feel strange and unnatural, if that makes sense.

Maybe you should try a different profile pic? Sometimes photos online can be wacky like that. It could also be in a bad format. I usually download photos and save them on my desktop. Usually this way it let's me set up profile pics.

Also, swag profile name. Terraria is the goat

I'm sometimes too scared to ride an escalator. What if my shoelace gets caught up in a gap and I'll go into an accident?

I mean, yeah while I agree with you on the fact that we shouldn't just not be allowed to post things for adults online because minors may view them, I have to say that I do also agree with the fact that maybe leaving horny comments on non NSFW posts may not be a good idea. I mean, NSFW tag exists specifically to inform people when something for adults is present. There are many people who like the subreddit but also want to know which posts have adult content and which ones don't. I mean, porn and written erotica have NSFW tags on them almost always and some of the horny comments that can be found on 196 aren't much different from erotica and fetishization.

They grow up so fast...

Yeah, which just sucks. It used to be an amazing place, yet due to people leaving after the API changes and a horrible way of handling the situation by the mods, the community just seems to be scattered so much that it no longer feels like one. It felt like a safe place but now, after all of the debacle, it's just impossible to wrap your head around.

We had a good thing going. I really miss that.

I feel like there should just be a new seperate discord for r/196. As it stands, the current options either are too unofficial or are like 196cord, where it's a mish mash of two completely different communities with oposing personalities. While 196 seems pretty calm, friendly and is in general pretty down to earth, the other one has a lot of LARPers and pretty hostile to people and even besides that, the mods either don't care or are clearly not in the right mental headspace to moderate.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the reply!
