VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

[benjipwns]

Please be okay Manchester. I saw my first concert at that arena, back when it was the Nynex. Saw a fair few others there too, for the six or so years I was living in Manchester. I still miss that city.

Been to many shows there. Adele last year and The Weeknd just a few weeks ago.
You don't think something like this would happen in a venue you have had many happy memories at.

All my friends in the area seem to be safe, including a friend of mine who has been to over 2000 concerts, who was my number one concern, obviously.

It was probably like a car back fire sample that got piped through the speaker and blew it up and everybody shat themselves creating a mass panic (i hope!).

If it was an armed dude going nuts we would of heard about it sooner than an hour, think about the last times a terrorist incident happened it came out really fast.

It's weird nothing about this seems like a bomb in terms of the lack of damage and nobody saw the blast.

reporters from on the scene apparently

Man if it is just a stupid accident that created a loud noise I'll be upset as fuck.

won't someone think of the GAF first responders?

I hope it ends up being just that stupid balloon pop, not a real thing.

I am in the city centre at the moment. Fortunately I was not near the venue, but the sudden palpable atmosphere here is rather surreal and terrifying, made worse by the constant sound of sirens nearby. Everyone has just stopped talking and are glued to the news, afraid of moving.

username/post combo 

[benjipwns]

Sooooooo....according to an eye witness on BBC News (inside the venue), the concert had just ended when the "noise" occurred. And then someone screamed "it's a bomb" and then panic ensured.

She reports that there was no smoke, light, or smell from the noise....just the "sound " (from her point of view, at least)

Wow, if true. they need to figure out who yelled bomb and prosecute.

this dude is indeed getting upset as fuck:

So it's a fucking loud noise and everyone got terrified right? Like what I said earlier? im fucking pissed

We're not in fucking mecca this is the UK. This is fucking bullshit.

Is it another one of those threads where people seem to care more about the ethnicity/religion of the perpetrator rather than the lives of the victims?

[benjipwns]

I'm a very anxious person but walking around Manchester City centre the past few days I could just see so many opportunities for terrorists to strike whether it's the main high street which had zero police presence on Sunday or the train stations where zero checks are made of luggage. I'm due to go home to Scotland by train on Wednesday and I'm already thinking of asking someone to pick me up by car if possible.

[benjipwns]

Absolutely disgusting!

Ariana's concert is thematically about female empowerment, acceptance, gay rights, tolerance and other progressive ideas that terrorists hate... so this might have been very deliberate choice.

okay, no topping this one

[benjipwns]

So that "my rich friend doesn't look at grocery store prices" guy got upset that his friend didn't check the price of a coconut?

A coconut is what, a couple bucks maximum? I'm assuming a range between $2 and $5 depending on the season and your geographic location. Who gives a shit? I'd do the same thing. If you get to the register and it turns out to be $20 or something, you can always have it put back.

You're not factoring in the social cost of having to tell the cashier you made a mistake and then she tweetbooks it to everyone and then everyone in the world knows you're shitty at pricing fruit. Not to mention that the store wins the transaction in that case.

We ask for $749 million in damages your honor.

Even with 19 killed, and 50 injured, that's still one hell of a nail bomb. That or the bomber just got in the absolutely perfect spot to do the most damage.

I think the nail bomb wouldn't kill people under a certain radius, just injure. It would be the panic that ensues.

what if someone threw a gravity star first tho

find out where he lives and punch him in the face, make sure to break his nose so that his medical bills will be more than what he conned you

GREAT ADVICE !
Also make sure to make an accurate estimate of the cost of his forthcoming medical bills while in a brawl to know when to stop !

Unrelated, but never do these transactions at your home. He now knows where you live and what's inside your house.

I mean I get the sentiment and yeah it's not ridiculous advice but it's not always convenient or feasible to conduct transactions in a public parking at 3am. Lots of scams on classified ads but really 90%+ of transactions are probably going fine and most scammers are not hardened burglars or serial killers.

It's also kind of a dumb observation on my part but you get the feeling that GAF is looking too hard for thread backlashes at time. They're trying so hard to find something wrong with OP ("You should have just scammed shop owners with your fake bills !"  )

Goodness fucking gracious.

Slightly game-related aside to this awful event- Tom Philips from Eurogamer tweeted last night about how awful it was, and the only reply to his tweet was by this guy implying that if it was a terrorist attack, there would be some sort of white uprising against muslims and immigrants etc.

I look at this guy's profile and he's a full on racist, retweeting English Defence League, white power stuff etc, so I reply to him and call him out for hijacking a terrible event for far right political gain. Anyway, a few minutes later I try to find Tom Philip's original tweet and... he's blocked me. Like, a journalist from Eurogamer blocked me because I confronted someone else for being racist. If he was annoyed by the tweet notifications, he could have just muted me- the blocking implies he agrees with the Islamophobia being spewed by the racist guy.

[nudemacusers]

Me me me me

I think it's safe to assume that Tom has better, more productive things to do with his time than deal with internet garbage people.

It's impossible for us to have this discussion here without degenerating into awful generalizations about multiple different religions, cultures, and movements.

Says the forum that will label you a Nazi for not disavowing your mother because she voted for Trump, a "gator" because you dare question the high authority of blow hards like Anita whateverthefuckherlastnameis and a misogynist because you like tits in your video games.

And, actually, you can have discussions about controversial things when stupid people shit post and derail etc. It's called moderation. Something NeoGAF has gone from subjectively bad at, to objectively terrible at. NeoGAF moderation is literally locking threads while hiding behind anonymity, and posting snarky one-liners, usually taking shots at how fucking awful the community of "GAF" really is.

 

[Raist]

This is an amazing post.

The only reason religion is fading away in the west is because we don't force it on people, and most importantly because we also don't try to stifle it. Repress people's views and opinions, especially in a matter religious people view as more important than life itself, and you'll run into extreme reactions. We need to get governments and education systems into a place that teaches both science and religion, allowing everyone to make up their own minds, and not judge anyone one way or another. Religion will never vanish because spirituality is a big part of being human and we all get in touch with that through various means. But by not enforcing or persecuting religion we should be able to reach the sort of happy balance we (mostly) have in the west.

How about a nice cup of No, Fuck off.

I can't tell if the OP is exclusively "shaming" Katy Perry or assuming that the Migos are white.

Yet another example of a cisgender white heterosexual using the culture of a disenfranchised people to line their wallets. I’m fine with never hearing another garbage song by these performers ever again.

You wanna know who I ain't holding up as a bastion of progession in regards to LGBT shit and well anything? Migos.

Not Offset, not Takeoff, not Quavo. Is it a surprise that three niccas from Atlanta ain't exactly LGBT friendly?

That shit about protecting their image was dumb though, you did a performance with Katy "Turning into Miley Cyrus" Perry where she was the most stereotypical whitest person doin the ugliest dab in history.
