Yeah I also feel the same about celebs, like from the corona thread, I've said a bunch of times I really don't wanna hear you talk to news stations about your struggle and having some of them have some form a breakdown inside of a mansion, get over yourselves, it's all about attention and remaining within peoples minds for them, any agent should be telling them to shut the fuck up maybe donate a little to get a bit of a roasting now but then later on use the good person bucks to kick off your career again. The free concerts are cool I guess, but don't go on the news the next week expecting to get a fucking high five.

The one video of celebs singing Imagine, did they say or do anything else after that video hoping for people to praise them? Thought that video was sent into the wild, mostly eviscerated but they stayed quiet after that, probably at the pleas of their agents to do so.

This is what the imbeciles said:

To be clear though, staying on the old vBulletin software was not an option for a few reasons:

    vBullletin 3.8 runs on an old version of PHP that is at “end of life” and is no longer supported. It is also very slow. We originally attempted upgrading a few sites to the newer versions of PHP, but it caused many many problems.
    vBulletin does not support IPv6. As many ISPs begin moving users to IPv6, vBulletin would actually not allow them to register or post, as it was built when this did not exist and does not recognize those types of IPs. This was causing existing users to be unable to post in many communities.
    vBulletin was built in 2004, and does not support modern web APIs or frameworks, and is not responsive on mobile devices. Continuing to hack away at old software just didn’t make sense anymore. We were literally playing ‘whack-a-mole’ with bugs and end of life cycle code.

People who are good with computers, is any of this garbage true?

[Pissy F Benny]

I’m not good with computers but I can tell you with full confidence that it’s a load of shit

[Nintex]

It's true,

Vbulletin is likely running on an old PHP version, PHP 7 is much faster
IPv6 is a non issue because most IPS's should also support IPv4 still. In fact I don't see us transitioning away from IPv4 ever
Vbulletin indeed does not support the fancy new web tech thingies that developers these days like such as Javascript frameworks and REST APIs

[james]

We currently use standard UTF-8 smilies. This helps greatly in keeping things fast loading and standardized across device types. We no longer run custom GIF files for every single smile which is terrible for web performance, and fast-loading websites. We should avoid running custom sets of smileys or using an Album to post smiles from. That will really bog download speed, and eventually, Google will de-index those pages for being slow.

This is also probably bs right

IP v6 is bullshit. It's migration still hasn't happened despite saying for like 15 years or so that people should get on it.

vBulletin being old and getting off it is valid for security concerns. Could not give a shit about responsive design when you can do that yourself.

This is dumb yes. Unless you're on 56k those mini gifs won't matter much.
If you're worried so much about performance you could just create a sprite sheet to reduce the amount of HTTP requests for different files.

In addition to building websites and online communities from ground-up, VerticalScope acquires established enthusiast-oriented web properties and domain names on a regular basis.

Unlocking Value

Often, enthusiasts start a website or online community in their spare time or after work. After years of work, the founder may want to move on to another venture and be rewarded for the countless hours of hard work they invested into their site.

Hi there
Welcome to a platform unlike any other.
While other social platforms focus on connecting family and friends, our users are brought together by the products and passions that inspire them. Our communities are a place to read reviews, ask questions and get answers, from engaged subject-matter experts and enthusiasts.

[benjipwns]

We're focused in 6 unique verticals that all have one thing in common: highly active consumers.
From Automotive to Powersports (think motorcycles and ATVs), members and visitors to our communities discuss the entire product lifecycle, from shopping for a new model, maintaining it, customizing it, selling it, and shopping all over again. Our other verticals include Outdoor, Home, Health and Technology, where people ask questions (and get answers) about everything from fishing lures to the latest tech gadgets.

Honestly i feel like 4 more years of Trump will piss people off so much that the backlash in 2024 will be an even more progressive candidate than Bernie. Look at what 8 years of Obama gave us.

If that happens, you can seriously count my ass not voting for President in 2024.

You don't get it, do you? If Trump successfully wins a second term, it's fucking over. You can kiss even a remotely liberal agenda on a federal level gone for at least a generation. Nothing a President does with a stacked conservative SCOTUS does will ever hold. I don't even want to imagine Congress. What the fuck am I voting in a President for aside the down ticket? And you're getting an attitude with me? FOH. This election is the last damn chance we got for the foreseeable future.

That time for trying something different is over. It's hilarious how so many on Era shat on Sanders and his agenda regarding practicality and electability, but people are now wondering about the prospects of 2020 with Biden now. I held my nose with Hillary, and got supremely fucked with Trump on deportations with my family, my personal health declining and finances. There isn't an immediate future for me if he gets a second term. I can't even guarantee that I might live long enough to see a Democratic Party and it's base finally get it's head out of its ass. What the fuck am I hoping for? You may have that privilege and luxury. I likely won't have any luxury in a coffin.

[benjipwns]

NOTE:

I want to start off by saying that I am not a doctor or expert in this field in any way so take my opinions with a heavy grain of salt as my thoughts are based on my own personal life events & circumstances, and if you have serious inquiries about this subject then I would consult a mental health professional instead of this thread. This is partly a personal venting thread, but mostly I would like to discuss what kinds of lasting affects hovering & controlling parents can have on people well into their adulthood with other people from this community who have been through this issue first-hand like myself.

Venting Time:

I'm currently a millennial living at home with my parents like many of my generation are stuck doing. I've lived there my entire life, and even through college as I lived close to school & couldn't afford a dorm. So I'm 27 years old and I've never lived in an environment away from my parents. Naturally, it has caused some negative effects to my mental health over the years. I'm going to start with my Mom. She is someone who clearly is scared to death of making mistakes. Growing up In my household, mistakes weren't acceptable. You had to do everything right. My Mom would take control of everything I had to do, hover over me while I did, and second guess every choice I made throughout until I eventually just gave up and did what she told me to do. It was like this for all big homework assignments, work applications, taxes, etc. Pretty much anything important that would have some kind of repercussion if I messed up. I remember every time we had to sit down together to get something done this feeling of restraint would fall over me and I would become antsy and on-edge until we were done. I would be talked down to like I was a little kid through the whole process because my Mom always felt like I wasn't taking things as seriously as she was. I was, I just wasn't taking her seriously anymore. That's where my Dad comes into the picture. He's my Mom's personal dog to sic on me and my siblings whenever we do something that she doesn't agree with. Normally, he doesn't give a shit, like at all. We're not his problem whatsoever so he says. He goes to work, pays the bills, and checks out from any parenting tasks other than discipline. But he can't stand my Mom getting emotionally distressed every time we finally stand up to her a little bit about the hovering. So she goes to my Dad and spins it off as disrespecting a parent which unleashes the hound so to speak. I've never not known a time when this cycle of dysfunction wasn't a normal part of my life. Like all struggles, it took a long time to recognize that it was not normal and start working towards a solution. That happened for me about 5 years ago. Since then, I've noticed that my life is much better when I just don't include my parents in it. I don't talk to them about anything really anymore, and sadly it's kind of been bliss. I can't escape it all the time though. My Mom still swoops in to control things when the chance arises. The past couple of days, she's been on my case about getting my taxes paid which I would've gladly done already if I had my tax documents with me, but I couldn't because she had them (because they were important and she couldn't risk us losing them, forgetting about them, etc.). I decided to get the payment done today after my job's work-from-home tasks were done, and again I had to push to get her to let me do it myself. I happened to made a mistake during the process (ended up paying a little more than I should've, easy fix) so my Mom immediately returns to "treat him like he's 5 again" mode, started bawling her eyes out like this mistake was the end of the fucking world, and sics my Dad onto me like clockwork for "never listening to her". Holy shit. I'm twenty fucking seven. I'm an adult who made a mistake so let me be an adult and fix my mistake. That's how we learn and grow as people.

tl;dr - I've lived at home with controlling parents for 27 years with no breaks, even college. You can imagine how that's gone.

Discussion Time:

I'm sure everyone has their own stories to tell, and I would like to focus on the effects that parents like this can have on a person that can stunt their growth as an individual and cause repercussions through other facets of their lives. For me, the effects seemed to boil down to a few key discussion points.

- "Why do we fall?" & The importance of not being afraid to let your kids make mistakes

I often feel I have learned so much more about life from films, books, etc. than I did from my parents so I'm going to start this with a quote from Batman Begins, "Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." This feels like it can be the hardest thing for parents to accept and prepare for. Your kids are human, humans will make mistakes, and some lessons in life can only be taught by making mistakes first. Failing and picking ourselves back up is one of those lessons. Parents should prepare kids to think things through so they can make good choices and avoid stupid mistakes, but give them the freedom to fail and learn how to fix them as it's a critical life skill in my mind. I feel my parents have never wanted me to learn that skill. For me, this fear of failure that my parents have instilled in me from birth has had a lasting impact on my ability to take risks in life. You can't pursue a career without taking risks. You can't find love without taking risks. I now have neither. I remember the first big risk I took that failed and it caused me to basically shut down for months. I often wonder where I would be today if I'd had the freedom and encouragement to live my life to the fullest without mental shackles.

- How little things have drastic effects of showing no faith in your kids

Branching off of the last point, this inability to take even small risks and succeed has led to a steady decrease in my confidence over time. Now, combine that with years of parents feeding you doubt over your ability to handle simple tasks by taking control of them out of your hands, and you've got yourself an individual who simply does not believe in themselves. Life is a serious struggle and if they don't believe in themselves then how can they be expected to make it on their own? If your parents don't believe in you then how can you believe in yourself? Some give up without a source to refuel that sense of self-worth. Some will go looking for others to feed that self-worth which could lead to someone potentially dangerous who lies to falsely feed your self worth and keep you around.

- The "They're just being a parent" excuse

To put a pretty bow around the previous two points, this is the response that most parents use to put a bow around all of their toxic behavior. They're worried that you will be ok, and somehow that makes what they do ok, so you're expected to just let it go. This is what gets you to accept it and let it last for decades without a fuss. Parents, I know you're worried, I have no doubt I'll be worried about my kids when I'm older, but please don't let it get the better of you. I'm very glad that I had the epiphany that I had about 5 years ago that got me out of this behavior being normalcy mindset and started me down a better path. I now feel I am in a better position to be a good parent in the future.

Your Turn

I know this was a long read, but I'd love to hear what thoughts others have on this subject and it's talking points, or even if you have a story to tell as well. I'd like this to be as honest and judgement-free of a topic as it can as I know it can be a very personal and sensitive subject to talk about. I often find that my thoughts become much clearer and easier to understand and discuss once I start writing them out. It's helped me with many things over the years.

Look at this fucking moron being all "concerned" about the wage slaves while he's taking his morning stroll

"I go for a walk every day (alone) and have noticed that in my small rural Ma town (halfway between Boston and Providence) that blue collar workers are still doing their jobs like nothing is happening. Landscapers, movers, construction workers, etc. None seem to be paying any attention to social distancing. There is a big undocumented population the next town over and they would probably be among the most vulnerable to getting the Coronavirus, on top of that they have no insurance.

It’s very concerning. Anyone notice the same?"

Scroll up, if that's not what I think it is then what indeed is fan service. Or weird people service.

I really think this is not helping alleviate whatever people have been saying on Tifa (hypersexualized) and the way she is modeled. It's objectifying and I would go as far as saying that this is slightly done in poor taste. She looks amazing, but come on, that's a bit out of place.

Tifa was my favorite growing up, and I feel like this throwing oil on the fire.

I know "Why" they do it, but I'm constantly annoyed by JRPG's recent insistence on switching to first person views and almost becoming Visual Novels when addressing certain characters. This isn't a shop menu or something, it's just the dialogue choice before going down into the basement. It's weird because it's like there so that the people can imagine the characters are talking "to them" I guess but I always think it's silly.

I hate that Tifa gets so sexualized, I see her design and think she looks like a badass.

Switching from 3rd person to 1st for this shot is incredibly suspicious, why do that at all... if not for fan service which is too much to accept apparently, even though Cindy had her underwear peeking out for some reason, SE does this...
