Off Topic / [NEWS] Connecticut councilman resigning after secret ‘furry’ life revealed

A Connecticut councilman is resigning after his profile on a website catering to “furries” appeared on social media — but the outgoing first-term Democrat insists his animal costume special interest has “nothing to do with love.”
New Milford Councilman Scott Chamberlain, who was up for re-election, is stepping down after a town resident posted several screenshots on Facebook of the lawmaker’s profile on a private website for “furries,” a subculture of people who don animal costumes, sometimes for loveual gratification.
The profile on sofurry.com — according to the Danbury News Times, which first reported on it Thursday — includes a list of Chamberlain’s preferences, ranging from “loves” to “likes” to “tolerates” to “hates” in order to customize content sent to users. Chamberlain, whose avatar resembles a fox named “Gray Muzzle,” insisted to the newspaper that his interest in the subculture stems from an appreciation for animal characters like Tony the Tiger and Mickey Mouse.
“It’s nothing to do with love; it’s an interest in cartoon animals,” Chamberlain told the newspaper Thursday.
But the profile also indicated that Chamberlain “tolerates” rape, prompting at least one commenter on the Facebook post to question the lawmaker’s ability to lead.

Off Topic / Come look at my brother's crappy Sonic fan site from 2004.
« on: August 30, 2017, 09:06:51 PM »
So, for a little backstory. Many years ago, when my older brother was only 9, he took a class at the local community college in web design. Of course, since it was only 2004, the site he made had the quality of something from geocities. It seems to be half finished, and is broken in many ways. It was never hosted on the internet.
UNTIL NOW.
Today, I found the CD-R that contained his website. After a bit of searching, I found an online sevice that pretty much lets you drag and drop a folder with a basic html file in it and will host it for you for free. So low and behold, my brother's crappy Sonic fan site from 2004.

It's worth mentioning how newer web browsers are incompatible with the weird way he did line breaks, so there's a stuffload of question marks. Also in the folder were a bunch of images that went unused, as well as some midi files that were either ripped from the Sonic and Knuckles collection, or were downloaded off the internet from early midi sites. They don't play in the browser, sadly.

Off Topic / AdNauseam - an Adblocker that tricks ads.

AdNauseam is essentially uBlock origin, but it also silently clicks each ad that's blocked, essentially tricking the advertiser. Because of this, many advirtisers are asking for refunds due to fake ad clicks.

If you're pissed at Google for the whole adpocalypse thing, this is probably the best way to protest it.

Time magazine has asked the Annoying Orange Organisation to remove a framed front cover featuring Donald Annoying Orange from several of its golf clubs after it was proven to be fake.
The cover, showing a presidential Mr Annoying Orange with his arms folded and steely-eyed, was framed and hung on the walls of at least four Annoying Orange courses in the US, Ireland and Scotland.
Dated March 1, 2009, the cover reads “Donald Annoying Orange: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!”, with another headline stating: “Annoying Orange IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS . . . EVEN TV!”

Off Topic / Recommend me a new monitor, BLF
« on: May 06, 2017, 05:04:40 PM »
It was my birthday recently, and as a result I have what can be best described as a poop-load of money. Because of this, I'm thinking of getting a new monitor.
Problem is, I have no idea which monitors are good and which ones are crap. If any of you could make a recommendation, I would be glad to hear it.
Specs I'm looking for: 1080p, 60 hz, and low input lag (within 10-25 ms or lower). My price range is about $350 or less, but I can go a little bit higher if the monitor is really nice.
So, anyone have a recommendation?

It's this beauty right here:

It's amazing. The greatest keyboard I've ever owned. Typing on it is so satisfying, something I never fully understood until now.
I could type for hours. It's just so wonderful.

Considering that the Blockland Forums is the world's most popular autism message board, I figured it would be a good idea to celebrate Autism in all of it's wonderful forms.
