    Look, I participate in the Covid CR forum.  And a great deal of it is just trashing Trump.  I gleefully participate.  But if you want news or stats, you do have to wade through a bunch of shit to get

commie pussy is not infantile, when you think about it. 

-onboard, probably.

I've been very adamant over the years about the shag and here. You neg someone in the CR because you don't like the way they think, you're a pussy. I'm sorry, but that's a fact. If you believe the government needs to control every aspect of your lives, including the means of production. You're a semi commie/socialist. That's a fact.

I would say I need to tone down the trolling, but it's so fucking easy....

 

Yeah, but you're so bad at it yet think you're really good at it. Sad

Why would you neg someone other than for they way they think? Are you negging bassed on punctuation or grammar?

Ever consider I followed the Russia stuff so closely because I expected them to obstruct justice at every turn and cover up the crimes?  Nah, that’s just crazy talk.

Perfect post. No amount of evidence or truth will ever change your agenda. Hypocrisy be damned. 
 

 Just a relentless troll pushing his narrative regardless of facts. Everything wrong in the world today.

Mueller knows everything

Mueller knows nothing because reasons

Sessions is coordinating with Russia

Sessions is protecting the investigation

Rosenstein is defending the Republic

Rosenstein is the single biggest disappointment in American jurisprudence

 Steele saw the crime of the century playing out in front of him, and he should be considered a patriot

Steele's reporting was really just peripheral the whole time

 

He is just a leaf blowing in the wind.

And the 20 Surly Socialists (see the DT poll) eat it up because it confirms their biases and has created their safe space to explore their superiority.

I‘d like to think I was instrumental in preventing this site from becoming an alt-right shithole

You weren't, not even close.    No matter what, we were never going to be TexAgs.

As a matter of fact, I'd like to give credit to Blacklab for not letting the Qanon shit infest this board like it did TexAgs and a bunch of the SEC boards, or maybe it was also because most of us were too intelligent to fall for that shit.

I just know that we never had threads with people hanging on every stupid fucking gobbledygook message come out of the Q twitter and subreddits and how said messages would somehow validate their life choices.

Edit: And as of a few weeks ago, there were still true believers on TexAgs following that shit.

I read that thinking of the Elie Wiesel story about the woman thankful to God for not being made like the Aggies.  I give thanks for that everyday.  What a strange way to go through life, being so proud of being so small.  And that they would read that and think, 'We ain't small, we're the biggest school in Texas' would make me even more thankful.

Negged for “bassed” instead of “based”.

You call it a prank.

I call it a money-making venture that takes advantage of the gullible.  It's Art Bell and Alex Jones taken up to 11.  It's just without the Filipino wife or the male supplemental vitamins, and is instead online advertising, t-shirts, bumper-stickers, etc.   

Even now, I'm still pissed I didn't jump on that little gravy train.  They managed to hit all the right notes at the right time.

It's a conspiracy theory, actually a collection of them, that has yet to have any proven successes, even though the folks behind it have tossed out actual dates and supposed (specific) actions on the part of the government.  They are vague about a lot of stuff, leaving it to be interpreted by its followers.   Stuff like "Trump was playing with his left cuff during his meeting with Senate leaders, which is a sign that they going to be arresting the child traffickers that are using alien technology at Area 51."

Also, they release shit in code to protect their "sources" (some really high-ranking official) and the code is easily broken by its followers and then reposted everywhere, which makes their followers feel really special (DRINK MORE OVALTINE!) but it begs the question why pretend to protect the source by encrypting messages in a code easily broken by people who get around on Rascal scooters.

And TexAgs loves it.

Oh, and it came out of 4Chan.

Honestly,  the fact that it came from 4Chan and that TexAgs loves it, are the only two things that are important about it.

Imagine if, during your 116 years on this planet, the least interesting and least intelligent and least funny people you've ever encountered in all your travels and experiences all amalgamated into a single website---it would be 4Chan.  It's the Dark Web for those who don't like Dark People.

Remember when you were in the China Marines there in Shanghai - turns out your houseboy had 4 great-grandsons who decided to start a website.

Actually it was 4Chen, but they screwed up when registering the domain.

Yep.  I've had plenty of times of sleep deprivation in my life - military, working multiple jobs, being a parent, but I never deprived myself of sleep to post on a message forum.  And especially for weeks on end.  At one point, it looked like he was getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night, if that.

You seem to know a lot about it

Damn, that is a bitch movie. Katy would be proud.

Meh, Bama Chick is one of the worst posters on this site. She definitely didn't go to Harvard. We would all be better off if everyone put her on ignore.

 

[mention=3]blacklab[/mention], thank you for all that you do.

 

 

 

Seems to me DT ought to be like the front page of the paper: news, with a healthy dose of snark.

CR is more like the editorial page.

Regardless of how political is a topic, the partisan politics of CR can overwhelm the subject matter rapidly.

Identifying stupid/ignorant people in this country has never been easier.  It's one of the few positive trends we have going for us right now as a nation.  

Also, I tried to buy 'shrooms on there once.  It did not end well for either party involved.

Lol.....tell us the story

The alt.right has the best bullshit pastures, I'll just leave it at that.  I think I met Robert Johnson out there...somewhere.  In all that cold and darkness.  

the number of literary references you miss on a given thread bottles the mind.  Still somehow, I think you'd make a fine tutor for EMAW.... ;) 

 

Seems to me that the people in the DT just don't enjoy hearing reality. And the reality is that people are dying of Covid, getting beaten by the police, protesting and rioting, even fucking sports(you know, that thing we all came to this website for in the first place) got cancelled, so this is their version of "America being great" and it fucking sucks dick. And if you even try to point it out one little bit they come at you like you hate America and shit.

I don't think it's that many people in DT.  We are, after all, a group of people who will try and get our coaches fired when we aren't happy.

It's not even close to the sunshine pumping you see at places like TexAgs.

I posted in CR on Shag and Surly for 12 years.  Traded paint with most anyone willing to have a discussion.  No worries. I respect many of the posters with whom I have frequent disagreements on policy.

About 2 years ago the 'community' changed.  I toughed it out for a year and finally said, "Fuck it."

 

The people in denial of the existence of cancel culture just see what they want to see.  I'm done trying to convince them how fucked up it is.    In the end, with regard to posting in forums, IDGAF about what you think you're entitled to, keep the politics in CR*.

*aside from the last 7-10 days exploding in our country and BL/ Imma allowing a wide berth for everyone in hopes of allowing for venting and candid discussion.

Yeah no, but you sure seem to be gleeful about the death tolls, and people rioting...
