Yeah, I've seen that too from my experience with Teamspeak and (to a lesser degree) Discord. Don't think it's entirely out of trying to be liked, I think in voice comms there's at least a bit of social pressure/norms at work.

 

 

Things get more complicated as we have had some users catfishing as females (likely out of a want to be desired idk) and acting overly crazy or sexual and causing a ton of drama on the discord chat. 

 

The online space is a weird space 😅

I really like Discord -- and think it would work well for a BOT server.  Because you could break the chats up into little subs.  Sometimes that chat moves so fast, and it feels like I just can't keep up or keep a thread going.

No shit but evil laughing nonetheless.

are you on a normalish Discord Server?

 

The one I have has like a girl from Russia who is a crazy communist and then one guy pretends to be Alex Jones and there is one person who self identifies as a Baguette  🤣

 

 

(90% of the Users are pretty normal lol)

That park probably hasn't been at capacity in years.

Yep, that happened at least twice (allegedly) in the teamspeak I admin'd. One time it caused hella drama because the person got caught (allegedly) only when they didn't have their voice mod turned on (allegedly), and only one other person heard it, so the guild actually got split into a "OMG, X is a dude!" camp and the "you guys are so mean X is a girl!" camp. Half the guild actually left over it.

To this day I'm still not completely sure what the truth was because I told everyone that it was a guild internal matter (which it was, confined to guild channels only) and I wasn't getting involved. (thank god I didn't have to)

The other time it happened it was confirmed, less drama though because it hadn't been going on for long.

Getting my cast on today.  I am so excited!  Sturdiness for my foot.  I am hoping the doctor has purple casts.  😀

 

So last night I paid $6 to watch The Hustle.   I enjoyed it.  I laughed a lot.

Tele do you know about Furries? 

 

 

Actually we had one user who thought himself to be a raccoon and wanted other users in the discord chat to pet him. (he is gone now lol)

You know what I've noticed since Trump got into office? We don't hear about other dumb shit in the news anymore.

 

Remember Natalie Holoway, Terry Schiavo, Casey Anthony? Neither do I!

Discord is for weirdos though.

My point exactly, Trump and the Media need each other to survive lol

Hahaha, that's amazing. (In defense of furries, they at least aspire to be animate, alive creatures, not regional cooked dough).

Nah, it's pretty mainstream now, at least for young people. Nearly all the high school students I tutor have it installed on their phones/computers.

Even a couple years ago I'd say it would be a big stretch to say it was for "weirdos" - even fairly casual gamers who never got into Teamspeak picked up Discord.

I supported a podcaster through Patreon and got access to the Discord.   I don't go on it a whole lot, but a cursory glance that one is pretty normal

Well I feel Discord like Reddit has sort of cleaned up a lot since 2016 now.

Social pressure / norms (too) often include to be ‚against’ porn or life style or whatever. I have 0 problems with that kind of ‚male‘ or female (some women speak rather direct with no men nearby too) speak - always depends on the ages, bordered too much .... writing like she/he in an objectified way - it can be tricky.

 

But through the eye? That‘s borderline sociopath or psychopath (not sure which one) something (really no idea what the English word for that is) even as a comic in my POV.

For Hollywood Studios most likely. Usually whenever the parks reach full capacity its around the holidays. I know they had to close off Magic Kingdom on Black Friday many years ago because they reached full capacity within minutes of opening.

 

Now I'm just waiting for the pressed Star Wars "fans" to say it's only because everyone wanted to check it out before Dorian (Gray?) blew it away lol.
