September 9, 20205 yr @blacklab just got a warning for shitposting in the boat battle thread in DT. What exactly did I do? Which post was the shit post? I scanned the thread and i posted three times: posts #65, 67, 146. Only thing I can think of was the use of "DotARd" in #65? Little feedback, please?
September 9, 20205 yr yes, Dotard. Is it that hard to say "People not in the parade" the thread is about boats sinking, not politics
September 9, 20205 yr It's fucking hilarious that thread and entire board is trying so hard to "no politics" current events that are directly instigated by political actions and actors. It's like trying to talk about football while ignoring all of the off-field stuff and coaching decisions. Keep up the good work, bob. Don't want to harm any snowflakes feelings and protect their right to fly "fuck your feelings" flags without mockery. Real nice safe space you've built
September 9, 20205 yr I would also like to contest my five warnings for shitposting. I don’t want those going on my permanent record.
September 9, 20205 yr @captainant. Yet, some of us posted in both the political boat parade and non-political one . It’s not difficult to discern where ‘that line’ is IMHO. I started posting in CR again at the beginning of July. I’ll admit straight up that it is better than when I quit it a year ago. Most conversations have been just fine- just have the right mindset and don’t go guns a blazing and shit. Not difficult. The non political threads seem to irk some folks... for whatever reason, I don’t really care. Both boards serve a purpose, IMHO. It’s not any act of courage to post in CR. Lol.

I guess my point is that the bare facts of the event in question are themselves political. It's frustrating because folks will echo the party line and talking points in DT, and then cry to the mods when called out on it. It poisons any possible conversation because it's leaving out critical context for why something happened on the first place. DT is rife with shitty right wing facebook conspiracy disinformation which is apparently exactly what the mods want in their news and current event board

DT is rife with shitty right wing facebook conspiracy disinformation which is apparently exactly what the mods want in their news and current event board People in the DT thread wanted to discuss the happenings on the Lake, as they occurred and how things...um... went down. There was discussion of the time it takes for a watercraft to sink, impact of wakes and such on the shoreline and docks/ marinas, whether one of the rescuers was actually clothed, etc, etc. There's a good portion of the board who doesn't want to discuss the freaking POTUS 24/7. Why is that such a fucking crime, or in some folks' estimation, a lack of gravitas? It's a beating if that's not what people are looking for. The CR provides ample opportunity to take those shots.

Ignorance is bliss, and many DT posters are ignorant motherfuckers, so you make a good point here. I get it, it's a safe space, not a place for full discussion of current events
September 9, 20205 yr One of the new boards is going to be covid and the other is going to be a soft ban thunderdome like douchebag central was.

They just don’t want to be beaten down with others’ political rants. Picture a Westboro Baptist Church protest. Then imagine yourself (and several others) standing around in dorky clothes holding up “God Hates Fags” signs. That’s what I feel like when I see many of you post in DT. If you wanna call me willfully ignorant or a safe space pussy, do you really think that sways me to your side or makes me want to engage you in any discourse? No. It makes DT untenable. LMAO, pointing out how Trump's actions as president directly impact and instigate current events like Rittenhouse shooting protesters, our dogshit COVID response, and the worsening of our water and air quality is like holding up "God hates fags" signs and we're basically westboro church? You poor thing, how do you survive in this world with such a delicate disposition? Oh I know, by sticking your head in the sand and acting like all is well when it's not for the majority of the country. Sorry that reality is ugly, shit is pretty fucked if you haven't noticed. Current events and the discussion of them tends to reflect that. If you don't like it, maybe fucking do something to make it better instead of shouting down things that are inconvenient to hear.

None of those are facts but rather your heavily partisan opinion. Political opinions belong in the Cloak Room. That's the liberal safe space. Just stay there or quit fucking crying. Many of us want the DT to stay on facts and not be clogged up with partisan bullshit. It's not that hard to understand...even for you.

What I found in Denver was that the restaurants bought most of the skirt steak. The bavette is a bottom sirloin cut. A butcher shop would be your best bet, but a bigger store with a butcher on-site might have it. It is also called a sirloin flap. It grills up nicely. Edited September 10, 20205 yr by washparkhorn
September 10, 20205 yr Shit posting, and trolling when done right are some of the best, most entertaining reasons to come to Surly. I think there are posts that probably are flat out shit posting, but hard sarcasm is not shit posting IMO, and at times is the best response to a post that is so stupid only a shit post or a troll are the proper response. I've been banned a few times in the last few months for shit posting, and I still don't know what the offending posts were. Someone using the term dotard is shit posting in a thread about people in sinking boats adorned with TRUMP flags ? I'm not sure I agree with your police work there Lou....... Unless it's just a flat out, super personal attack on someone I think it's all fair game to a point. I really hope this place doesn't lose too much of its Wild West feeling, cause when it does it's dead. (Cue the Marcus Aurelius Rome is a republic gossamer speech to Maximus).

September 10, 20205 yr No bit, I know it's "Scotty doesn't know", just fun to get Rex to say "Scotty! Christ!" out loud at his desk. Donnie Doesn't Know was intended to convey that other people fuck his wife and his favorite daughter and he doesn't know about it. This whole thread is beyond bizarre even for Surly standards. Anyway, I really feel like CR posting outside that forum is way down across the board. But obviously others feel differently. Edited September 10, 20205 yr by Lobo
