In general, using the red cross anywhere except for a medical facility is forbidden, since attacking red crosses is also forbidden, (to stop people from bombing (field) hospitals) and this stops people from abusing that rule by just putting red crosses everywhere to confuse the enemy.

I… I don’t know tbf.

is discobot actually a robot?

2506

Yes, discobot is a chat bot.

2507

That was actually from when I edited the picture, to create this thingy:

Also, that Tumblr post is not the source IIRC, just one of the more popular images containing it.

Hey @blackjacksike, I noticed you sometimes sign your posts with (gabeN). I’m curious as to what it means.

2509
gabeN is the shortened version of Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve, which is the company that posseses Steam and that made Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress 2, etc (though some games weren’t entirely their idea, they still helped making them). In Team Fortress 2, in the commentaries, the first comment you hear is from Gabe Newell. At the end, he says “Thanks, and have fun!”, which became my favorite quote from him. I think at some point, he refers to himself as ‘gabeN’, but I don’t remember if it was from that quote.

What image was your creation? The worm head or the cut head? IF it’s the worm head, does that mean that guy on tumblr had already been on this forum? Who would that be then? Hmm… .

I bet someone had to straight face walk up to the general and be like “this is a Naruto run sir” (begins to Naruto run).

I still don’t understand. “Remarked a public high school teacher when asked about her school”… .
Remark meaning : Notice or mention/comment.

Nope, I really don’t understand. I first thought that was about a “belgium” joke, but now I see it’s impossible with the definitions of ‘remark’. What did you mean, @Magic8Ball04? Explain more clearly… .

2513

He’s using the mentioned meaning. Remarked = said but fancier

It still doesn’t explain his sentence. Confusion… .

“gaben” is heard in the half life 2 commentaries where he says his email, which is his first name Gabe and the first letter of his last name Newell. So when you pronounce gabeN@valve.com it sounds funny and became a meme.

Why do I have to keep explaining Internet culture here all the time? How are you accessing these forums of you don’t have Internet?

I’m going to guess that this is a reference to American culture where porn is very widely blocked at schools with very strict browsing filters, and at the same time not much is done to block violence (also school shootings may have something to do with this joke).

I think we should add yes/no emojis, because sometimes I’m unsure if someone is answering yes/no to my question with a thumbs up emoji.

2520

Thumbs up is yet, thumbs down no. It’s that easy. It’s only very sometimes used as ‘agree/disagree’
