I think this is a racist image. This man is black for gods sake. JFC 00:23. Jun 12
| “ | ...Truganini grew up with tragedy, her birth mother had been killed by sealers, she was later raped by sealers with her first fiance dying while trying to save her from them, and in 1828, her step mother and two sisters, Lowhenunhue and Maggerleede, were abducted by convicts and taken to Kangaroo Island, off South Australia where they were sold as slaves. | ” |
| “ | When Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur arrived in Van Diemen's Land in 1824, he implemented two policies to deal with the growing conflict between settlers and the Aborigines. First, bounties were awarded for the capture of Aboriginal adults and children, and secondly an effort was made to establish friendly relations with Aborigines in order to lure them into camps. | ” |
- It's on Commons so all you can do about it is not include it in any articles. If you want it deleted, you can't whine to me, only the commons admins, and that'll be through the deletion discussion process whatsimafoozlie. Why do I like being an IP address? I should quit wandering around naked but I dislike wearing my clothes, why? 99.240.156.249 (talk) 03:44, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- I think if it was listed on VFD and we had a vote to "delete" it we could then decide that that image could not be used on our wiki. We could enforce that if we wanted to. ... Why do you like being an IP address? I could guess, but I don't know. Do you want me to guess? I will if you would like. I would like to know, what your guess is first though? JFC 03:56. Jun 12
- I find it oddly liberating. Perhaps IP addresses are God's innocent, and the farther up one moves in the ranks, the more forbidden apple baggage one collects, or something. Admins smell funny; I've never heard anyone deny that, and several have asserted it, so it must be true. It is also provable by logic. They often find themselves with 'no time' to have a life or carry out its basic functions, such as showering and eating. They are positively disgusting, not just physically but in their behaviour and thought. Think of the tasks they must perform - are they not... er... I don't think I like where I'm going with this. *squirms* But in any case, it makes me want to barf sometimes. I'm not sure what 'it' is, even. Something about blocks. I hate blocks and those block link things. But no, that isn't it, that's not it at all, I did this when I was an ordinary user. It was simpler. No fancy-wancy user rights and signatures. I have no bloody idea what any of this means or why. – Llwy-ar-lawr (talk • contribs • logs) 04:21, 12 Jun 2014
- I will take that as you asking me to guess, so I will guess... 'Admin Burnout' is something to consider. For each admin, depending on where you sit on the scale between UN:JOB and User:Jesus F Christ/JOB it can be more or less stressful. Unfortunately, Uncyclopedia has seen a cycle of watching promising new users emerge, grow up, write loads, and improve the wiki in various other ways, and then become a fantastic admins... For a few months... Then they are gone. I think perhaps by pretending to be an IP you are just a little bit pretending to be gone. Perhaps a little like you were when you removed your name from UN:AA recently. I call it Admin Burnout. I suggest that because you are the new admin you are feeling the burden of 'everything'. That perhaps might be how you perceive things, but in truth, actually there are still other admins around, but they are just a lot more lazy than you are currently. I would suggest you make a sockpuppet but I don't think you would be able to hide your identity for long. Then you just end up looking like some asshole who swapped accounts and no one thinks is funny. ...and just look at how bad that can be. JFC 05:52. Jun 12
- That's a lot of it, yes. I have a sockpuppet but I created it while logged in as me so I have no way of hiding who it is. I also used it for voting and stuff and that led to yells on irc, so that'll be over with. I could make another one but I'm not interested in getting in trouble; if I were using a sockpuppet, I'd want to go around replacing pages with stuff like 'Is this how you get banned?', 'Simsilikesims is a sockpuppet of <insert name here>'s mum' and that sort of business, because I've been rather short on it. I haven't done a good blanking of anything important since before I had an account. But there's more to it than that; that was a digression to nowhere. I feel disgusted with myself for being what I am. I have these images of someone with a mask and a blood-stained apron holding a trash bag with arms poking out... I don't know really. If I knew, you probably wouldn't want to know. It would get very long and very dreary. – Llwy-ar-lawr (talk • contribs • logs) 20:38, 12 Jun 2014
- Ah! That's OK then. All perfectly reasonable reactions. Blood-stained apron images? All the time... People used to see different things in the past. Depending on where they lived. In many places they saw lizards, in other places giant birds in the sky. Sometimes, people saw 'little people'. Depending on where they lived they saw different things... Some saw Elves or Imps. Some people saw demons. If you had lived in Cornwall a long time ago you would probably have seen pixies. These days most people don't see the elves, imps or pixies. Instead a lot of people see UFOs, and a few see lizards. Some see Blood-stained aprons. Me personally? I saw two demons and was frightened. They scared me. But I choose to ignore them because I knew that they were a manifestation of my own mind. The demons did not like being ignored, and when I went back again they had gone because it was not fun for them anymore. I know they are still out there though, and will always be. JFC 22:59. Jun 12
