I would also like to encourage people to check out the SNES Classic Reddit board for some serious cringe.

What you have here are a lot of...passionate Nintendo fans who have never once in their entire lives not gotten the toy they wanted. The end result borders on psychosis. If anyone remembers when No Man's Sky got delayed and that guy called 80 Gamestops. It's a whole group of people like that.

I was working holidays as the mall. I pulled out of the parking lot, and at the first light this woman rolled down her windows and started yelling at me. She accused me of cutting her off and said I was a horrible driver and God knows what. Well this was around 11:30 and I had just worked a ten hour Holiday rush and wasn't much for having this shit. I don't even know if she was right, but I certainly didn't try to do anything.

I let her scream, and then after the light let her drive ahead of me. As she stopped at the next light I floored it behind her, slammed on my horn, and just barely swerved past her left and then turned so she couldn't follow me.

It really wasn't very nice, but I can't say I regret it. I was worried I would get fired the next day but nothing ever came of it.

...bitch.

That link was hard go copy on my phone..

Sorry man. There was a much smaller link I saw after but I was gogogogoing and that was the best I could do. Blame Gamefaq for their 80-character word limit.

Also how did everyone do?

Nowinstock.net ACTUALLY WORKED and I crushed it. Got five and am done Christmas shopping. I almost bought 12 just because, but decided I didn't need them and someone would want them more.

Go here. Make the 10 bets he did.

Basically this is horse racing, except the odds are capped at 13 to 1.

Basically there are betting favorites that are more like 90% to win. But they are presented with 50/50 odds. People have figured out how to parlay these near guaranteed winners with every other bet to make it so you have a 20% chance of losing everything, 30% chance of being neat even, and 50% chance of winning big.

I still don't super understand how it all works but it's broken and incredible.

I also RS'd a 200k stamp today. Already almost at 1 mil!

One kind soul gifted me his old account a few days ago. In two days using the food bets I turned 50K into 600k. It's basically a 80% chance to 4-7x your money.

It's pretty cool, but I'm mostly bummed that the lack of users has led to a collapse of the restock market. Basically no new players = no one doing fetch quests = the market for non active items has plummeted. Oh well. At least there's still Kass Basher.

Also for anyone who played the game in the past, I highly recomend you check out this AMA with the site's founders. Man, they do not like Viacom.

I prefer tournaments at bars as it cuts out the under 21 crowd and also scares away a lot of the super weirdos because there are girls there.

I don't want to be rude, but the Smash community contains a lot of...people who have difficulty with social norms/facial expressions, and those people can be difficult to handle.

I checked it recently and apparently I had been frozen "for my own protection" since they thought my account may have been compromised

I put in a ticket to get it back, but it's been over a month and I still haven't gotten a response.

I had the same thing happen. Logged onto a 2009 account and it was locked. No idea why.

I'd like to play again, but the site buts bullshit holds on your account until it's six months old.

There's also this super OP way to make money involving daily betting, but the bets you can make are your accounts days x 2. So a 17 year old account would be over 10,000 points a day I could bet.

On the Cracked writers forum they give bonuses to the top 10 articles. Like five years ago you had to have over 1.2 million uniques to make it.

Now 300,000 is the top.

What happened is that sites like Google and FB cracked (heh) down on clickbait thanks to all those dogshit sites like Upworthy that are now making you angry thinking about them. The major change was that number of clicks was de-emphasized and instead length of time on the page was made more important.

More specifically, the sites made it highly punishable whenever a user clicked a link but then immediately left the page, as that meant they were not being given what they wanted. You can see how this could fight clickbait as all the "You'll never believe what this twelve year old said to his rude teacher!" bullshit is usually not read all the way through.

For one reason or another, Cracked got swept up in this ban, and their numbers crashed overnight. I think they may have been punished for being owned by E-How. You may remember E-How for being complete trash and going bankrupt once Google essentially blocked their entire site. Also dank memes.

That prechy shit comes strait from David Wong. I read all of David's forum comments, which is basically his daily blog.

The best way I can describe David is that he's the smartest person I've ever known, and yet he still thinks he is ten times smarter than he is.

Also the guy has a pathological hatred of teenagers. I swear to God that every time David dislikes or disagrees with someone he accused then of being 16.

I think a lot of it involves simply how the internet -and what gets views on the net- have changed. The way any modern site measures success is via unique visitors. If you read every article Cracked posts each day you are roughly as valuable as the guy who clicks one Facebook link, reads one example and never comes back.

The problem this leads to is that the content that makes people read each day and the content that makes that one Facebook user click are different. Notably those things include political commentary, sex articles, pseudoscience, and a few other topics. If you look back to the "golden" days of Cracked, the topics written about seemed more focused of being funny and entertaining, and less on "engaging viewers".

Also, the guy who runs the place, David Wong, has slowly but surely grown more liberal, and that shows in the content on the site. For some reason the site runners completely deny their liberal slant ("All opionions are political!") but it's pretty obvious to me and most everyone else that the site is pushing a serious agenda these days. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Facebook market they're trying to entice is primarily Democrat.

This response feels a little rambly, and to be honest I can't quite put my finger on what's changed that I don't like. I guess it's mostly that I laugh a lot less and am annoyed a lot more.

I'd say when a girl postponed there was then a 33% chance of that date happening.

1/3 she just doesn't want to meet
1/3 she really did have things come up, but then it just doesn't happen
1/3 it does happen

Don't take it too hard if there's no date. Tinder is very much a numbers game.

No one talks about it, but Neopets introduced achievements (avatars) in 2003, and had a free-to-play model by 2006. It was a game ahead of its time until it very, very wasn't.

I think the problem was that the site was already on the way out around 2008. By the time F2P apps became the next big thing in 2012 Neopets didn't have the resources or designers to do a full reboot. That sucks because I think a fully mobile Neopets would be making all the money right now.

Instead it's the same website we had in 2005, and that's just to bad.

I was reminded of Neopets because they announced new avatars for completing a couple stamp pages (so expensive!). I get an Email whenever that happened, which is like once every two years.
