    I've sent an @ or PM out at podcasts without expecting them to read it or respond, they likely get at least dozens of those daily.

    If those messages are telling people how to do their jobs, I would highly recommend stopping that!!

    So it's never alright to make any public comments about what you think creators should do? Is it alright here because we're smaller? Even though we've been publicly quoted by like Austin Walker or Ethan Page? We've even had people here make suggestions for podcasts and such made by people that post on the forums regularly who definitely saw it, is that not allowed?

    DMing someone unsolicited advice is extremely invasive and unwanted, it's even worse when it's aggressive, I legitimately don't know how this is a struggle!

    I don't think the message/advice was as aggressive as the response, in that example.

    I also think a lot of people don't think messaging famous people is the same as messaging an average person. And I'm pretty sure places in Tumblr or Twitter have ways to block/ignore messages from people you're not expressly whitelisting (but maybe I'm wrong?). I wouldn't do something like the clipped message, but I lean more in the direction of it not being a big deal than you or Reese do, obviously.

    Any time I make something I usually ask everyone that sees it for input and usually get none, so I've definitely got a different viewpoint.

    well on the flip side, I don't think that response was at all aggressive. It was a funny joke, made in response to one example of a question/comment that I'm sure he gets a lot, knowing D&D nerds..

    And to your other point - maybe people shouldn't differentiate so much between messaging 'famous' people (and 'internet famous' is a LOT lower bar than 'actual famous') and not-famous people???? It's not cool to be more of a jerk just cause someone has an audience.

    It is, mainly because I would (until he tragically stopped vanity searching after he signed with AEW) regularly tweet about his matches without tagging him, but by writing "Ethan Page who is definitely reading this tweet," and waiting for him for inevitably like the tweet

    Ethan Page who is a pro wrestler who, even among pro wrestlers (a profession which, being made up almost of image obsessed carnies, and thus, is full of vanity searchers), was for many years known for the ferocity which with he vanity searched his name

    You could tweet the name Ethan Page and generally he'd like it within at most a few hours

    the post-4chan internet gossip sphere that the cult of Chris-chan spawned is honestly some of the most toxic shit I've ever seen in my couple decades on the internet

    if it gives you any idea, K*wi F*rms, the place what routinely drives people into depressive spirals or even suicide, and even has active threads on at least one former PA forumer, is a spin-off of the CWCWiki Forums

    Youtube tried to recommend a lot of videos from, and apparently this is a real term, "Christorians" who cover whatever the latest deal is with the creator of Sonichu.

    Honestly at this point it feels like putting someone with mental health problems on display like at a freak show and I can't say I'm not uncomfortable.

    I feel like they don't condemn the voyeuristic behavior they are talking about and instead are kinda just feeding into it by focusing so much on the target of said behavior instead.

    It's gross.

    I've been binging a podcast call Let's Stop There recently (formerly Amazon Book Club). Dunno if it's been mentioned here before, but the idea is that they pick up a (generally free on amazon) book and read the first, 25%, 50%, 75% and last page of it in an hour and try to make judgements based on just those 5 pages

    If you like podcasts that are chaotic messes, where hosts leave mid-episode to deal with cat shit and the other hosts narrate, where each book feels like a fever dream, then I would recommend it

    The hosts aren't particularly negative about the books they read and I think the author of Bigfoot Cop isn't out there trying to win awards so it's all in fun

    That appears to be a preliminary report, despite the 100% reporting tag. Ballotpedia has the total votes at around a thousand for both the Democratic and Republican primaries in the district, or about 10% turnout. Not terrible for a local primary.

    The democratic candidate for Governor here is named Blood, which is pretty sick.

    Sadly, the only way she'd win is if fucking Herbster, who lost the primary to the non-trump endorsed dude, runs as a third party and splits the r vote. Which would be hilarious.

    Probably the funniest (in a depressing way) primary story I know was a few years back the state rep for the chunk of PA I used to live in lost the R primary, then just ran as and "independent" in the general and won cause the Dems didn't even bother to run someone.

    I live in Alaska where Republican Lisa Murkowski lost the primary for a congressional senate seat to a far right candidate, only for that candidate to get embroiled in some scandals, so she ran as a write-in and managed to win.
