  1. there's the main problem right there: we don't have to assign fault for addiction. it's not your fault, crash, but it's all of our responsibility to help where we can and sometimes even where we can't. you can't monetize grace.
  2. i'm pretty good at that this time of night
  3. i once planned to go to the tippy top of kolner dom but it was really fucking windy that day and i was half drunk most of the way up and decided to go back down and get full drunk and eat halve hahn.
  4. nah. they aren't stuck with the nerd. the nerd understands the role of student government. they are stuck with the gaslighting jock asshole who promises a coke machine in the cafeteria.
  5. he shit on a girl's head during a threesome. it's beyond a bit creepy. it's a bit trafficky and a lot rapey.... and bonus there's a pee tape allegation. who might want a pee tape? brock lesnar probably allegedly. it's fucking wild
  6. lol come on yall. biden hates immigrants. remember he's old-school protectionist union boomer and always will be. that's why he's silent on weed also. he won't do a damn thing.
  7. unemployment is at record lows. how many people are working 2+ jobs? how many side hustles are out there? probably the wrong thread but the wealth is flowing upwards at an exponentially increasing rate. I'll expound more on the enshittening thread later. but all the value metrics are totally fucked. it's right there for fox to point out but they cannot because they've trained their viewership over decades to look at meaningless economic metrics and salivate and many of the rest of us also fall for it. you can't unring pavlov's bell one you've imprinted that training.
  8. but the us economy isn't kicking ass. that's what's so funny. they painted themselves in a rhetorical corner. they can't do a deep analysis into our sham of an economy because to do so would unmask them far more more than usual.
  9. they had a lot more than eggrolls and lemonade
  10. it's almost as if this dude is on hard drugs or something
  11. watson has just one real mission: be Austin's old white father. i am serious. that's it.
  12. no fucking shit. it's embarrassing as fuck
  13. the fact of the matter is that magazine formats are generally dead. si tried to stay relevant with plus size and teams during a me too and lgbtq revolution but the ship sailed when girls gone wild became a thing. then mobile phones have us access to all the media and who needs a fucking magazine?
  14. what i mean by yall aren't moderated is that we barely fucking moderate anything aside from hate speech and blatant trolling/shit posting. yall know when you do it. we certainly do not moderate viewpoints or opinions and i'll have real words with anyone who thinks differently. i don't take much seriously, but i do believe in the ethos of this community. i can also believe that ethos might change over time, especially when we start talking in decades-long timeframes when major societal changes are also happening. that means, hey, yeah, we started off telling each other to die in a fire, but then someone real got hurt, and that stopped being funny. so we stopped doing that, pretty much largely as a community. most of the changes tried, failed, succeeded, abandoned, tried something else, etc, have all been with a fuckload of input from this community. so, think about this place as that, if you will. i think that's what @immamac was getting at in the cloak room post. now, it's my unvarnished opinion that he picked the absolute worst example of behavior to point out bad acting on the other side, but here we are. the main problem is that we have a larger civility problem in this country. we talk past each other too much, without realizing that someone is on the other side of that equation. i do it all the time on here. i've been fucking terrible about it in the past, and i've done plenty of regretful things. my way of atoning is to walk forward and try to do better. and that's all immamac wanted, i think. but the real problem with cloak room is what goes unsaid as much as what goes said. what the poster in question did was pretty much the definition of trolling. add into that the obvious and not-so-obvious misinformation posters, and patience is low for bullshit. "oh hey guys, i'm new here, but i have strong opinions about this discussion, and i strongly disagree with your BROAD ASSERTION A. look at this dodgy as fuck ass source i'm presenting as truth! behold BROAD ASSERTION B" "uh, hey new guy, that site is some partisan bullshit looney tunes crap. got something legit to back that up?" "oh, man they told me about the cloak room and you guys and how disingenuous you are!" "no, really, new guy, please back up broad assertion b." <new guy disappears> "no, hey, new guy with strong opinions and shitty sources, can you back up that broad assertion b?" "oh, hey guys, i've been busy. let me type up five posts not backing up broad assertion b. hell, i might not even mention broad assertion a at all, because, i don't know" "no, new guy, all you have to do is answer the questions, you stupid fuck." "i think i'm being bullied." immamac enters room, sees guy bloody on the ground, "jesus, guys, he's already dead" "SHUT THE FUCK UP OVERREACHING MODOWNER WITH OBVIOUS BIAS" "no, new guy, bullshit source aside, please back up broad assertion b, or we have to conclude you are a troll" "yep, i'm being bullied, and everyone warned me about the bully piles in here, so i'm not going to even bother re-asserting or acknowledge BROAD ASSERTION A and i'm the fuck out of here, deuces, libfucks!" BOARD BLOWS UP IN RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION FROM EVERYONE OVER TERRIBLE MODERATION EVEN THOUGH NOTHING WAS ACTUALLY EDITED AND NOBODY SUSPENDED i mean, what the actual fuck. yes, the thread was derailed, but it was not derailed by an honest attempt at a trade of opinions. it turned into a shitfest because new guy poster brought piss to a shit fight. you can't show up with flat out bullshit, present it as fact, then throw up your hands and blame everyone else for not understanding your intent. that's gaslighting yall. sorry, immamac, i'm with you on sentiment, you just picked a weird as fuck situation, imo.
  15. the funniest bit is how all yall act like yall are moderated in any real way.
  16. i agree with you 100% but biden has fumbled this issue away because he thinks other issues of his have his priority. but letting Republican governors shape the narrative is weak af
  17. biden fails on the border and immigration for goddamn sure
  18. pretty sure someone at some point got their shareholder value though long as that shareholder value is protected in the short term, fuck long term business success
  19. lol at the torchys stans in here. talk about pinche gringo tacos.
  20. I'm going to start suspending people who start posting names without links or evidence because this shit is fixing to get fucking b a n a n a s
  21. jesus. but i had to laugh at that bowling alley video. the person that gets under the score table - they must teach that. when i was there i experienced one "major" 4.7 earthquake. i was teaching a kid and the earthquake hit. his mom was waiting in the waiting room. did she come get him? no. she got under the fucking table haha
  22. yes. I'm suggesting that we look at this issue with solution oriented goals, not those made up as barriers just because. I'm suggesting we merely come from a perspective of humanity and sympathy not hard hearts. I'm simply asking what if we decided to do the good thing and begin with the baseline assumption that these hordes are actually human beings seeking a better life. can we help them find that? why don't we?
  23. game should be over jesus fucking christ
  24. uhhhhh the fuck?
