Better advice: don't click links from Vansterdam. Ever.
You'd be safer clicking asian_XL's links...

I dont know, maybe i have over reacted but knowing a family member who has epilepsy and seeing it happen everytime for the last 5 years isnt fun for me. In fact im pretty sure it isnt fun for anyone. Im just a bit sensitive on that shit, thats all.

I feel for you because I'm sure it must be hard dealing with it but the caution has to be with you and not us for this matter. It would be next to impossible to spoiler every link that has flashing that could cause an epileptic seizure.

Hell, this is RS, I bet I could stack a dozen spoiler tags with a warning on each one not to click the link inside, and 99% of users will still click it. Quote:

Realize where you are and take a little responsibility for your own choices and actions.
That is all.

That is all. | Honestly, i disagree. You would be surprised on how many people would think twice when they see a spoiler tag and if they still clicked it, the moment they hover their mouse over the tag, theyve already taken responsiblity. But in this case, its just a link that possibly could trigger seizures.
I have absolutely no problem with the guy screaming or popping out, but rather on the flashy lights. Really, theres no "surprise" to ruin on just a flashy thing.

When did we think the storm WASN'T legit? They've been warning about it for a week now.

I think right now we are just making light of the situation since it's not really out of control and lucky its dieing down as well.
