    It’s interesting read the economic outlook in this thread juxtaposed against the general economic outlook I see in other places or holistically, which generally seem cautiously optimistic. The interest rate and sky is falling outlook makes sense for folks living in this industry currently, and I get that, but as another poster said these rates aren’t historically obscene. And basically having to operate at any environmentally other than the all time lows in rates we’ve seen the last 20 or so years and it’s apparently the end of the world. I feel for you guys, but as someone not in the industry, watching the level of hand wringing here certainly doesn’t match the general economic outlook i see generally, elsewhere

  2. @blacklabdo you see now the real temperament and dysfunctional personalities that a handful of posters have that I've been trying to explain? They always want something or someone to be a scape goat, are never satisfied and will cry and be irrationally emotional about everything if you don't align the stars to their exact political and value system preferences.

    These are the 2% of this great website who make the CR an echo chamber by an outsized use of the neg bombing (which we've discussed at length earlier this week in another thread so no need to rehash here) and now they want to make the DT an annex of their insane fiefdom.

    @Captainant @Beau Vine @Js1 @Wally Fairway  @Brian Fantana

     

    People complain that DT is a safe space for people on the right because I allow them to post political things there.

    Now people are complaining that I don't allow political news there.

    Which is it?

     

    There's a couple of reasons I shut the Trump thread down.

    1. You guys act like fucking 5 year olds joking about it, trying to get a rise out of me ("I wonder if he'll ban me if I post the home alone 2 tweet?"), the very definition of trolling. You don't really care if there is a thread there, some of you just want to be jackasses.

    2. The same shit will be posted in that thread and the thread in CR. I fucking hate reading two threads about the same topic and having to scroll past the same tweets/posts over and over. 

    3. No matter what, people will start making political opinions on that thread, our team, your team, but obama, but biden, etc, and I nor the other mods have fucking time to police another fucking huge thread. It will mirror the CR thread in short order.

    4. You people act like it's a crime against humanity, worse than the holocaust that you have to click one button to get to the CR, like surly is going to empower a political movement that's going to take over the world if you can't post it in DT. Newsflash: the board the thread is in doesn't fucking matter. I'm not empowering facists by making certain threads go in the cloak room. I'm keeping politics in one place.

    5 This has been the rule for 16 years. I've seen multiple message boards blow up and die due to politics taking over threads all over the board. I know you guys think we do a horrible job at it, we do the best we can. It's a thankless job and frankly sucks.

    6 The majority of the board feels the way I do. Yeah, yeah, bad survey. If you're so confident people feel the way you do start a thread here will a poll about how people feel political topics should be handled, word it however you'd like to. I am eager to see the results.

    And for the record I am fucking ecstatic Trump and Paxton are getting drilled. I hope they both go to prison for the rest of their miserable lives. People who support these two criminals are a fucking stain on our country. 

    Blacklab, do you think it's any coincidence that it's the same posters over and over (half of which you explicitly call out above) who still can't figure out how to use a message board and co-exist?

    Look who it is, that you are having to explicitly call out, who don't know how to use a message board properly:

    Finding unrelated posts to neg is bullshit and should be punished but if you really dug your heels in on a thread and posted 20-30 times over the same bullshit you know is going to annoy the posse you get what you get. You always hover around 100 + rep points so it’s easy for them to gang up on you over petty shit. Either learn how to pick your battles or start posting a bunch of tit pics to build up a rep cushion

    I enjoyed it quite a bit.  From what I'm seeing in various corners of the internet, I hold an unpopular opinion as "The Scuttlebutt" was one of my favorite things in this version.

    My daughter and her friends loved the movie but hated they changed Scuttlebutt, to your point.

    I have no idea what that means.  But it looks and sounds top notch.  Several years on this site the previous one and by lsat count, about 1 neg a month on average.  But high five, man.  

    Been meaning to ask, what does YGIFS stand for? Quite the departure from Lobo

  7. And I want to thank everyone for this conversation happening here, because it really is the dozen or so usual suspects who deputize themselves as knowing what's best for this community, and they all happen to be on this thread and getting to hear from the real sheriffs themselves that their necro-negging and auto-negging is harassments and not allowed, and most importantly we get to keep those from distracting and derailing the good, informative and substantial threads in the main rooms.

    I don't get it, is Skooma a real drug or is it a slang street name for a drug? I googled it and it seems like a fake drug in canon for video games and middle earth fantasy novels.

    I mean, let's be real. I'm sure you remember his posting as Chrispy, where he was posting wildly disgusting shit on the reg and was actively proud of being an awful person. Just because he, with each new handle, has been smearing on a thin layer of frosting on his shit cake of a post history, doesn't mean he gets a pass now when he tries to appear genuine. His baseline is still to argue in support of very deplorable shit.

    I guess it makes sense that he would fool blacklab, who admittedly doesn't understand any of this and should probably just stay out of it entirely, but it's not my board so whatever.

    Reasonably stated and rationally written, unemotional different opinions and beliefs and values than the majority of the board = “I hate this guy he’s horrible and deplorable!”

    What happened to having a little counterbalance and perspective in a variety of topics. You certainly don’t have to agree and you certainly don’t have to like it (and I don’t even care if you don’t respect it), but you should be able to tolerate such differences. I say that but the reality is half the posters are “if you vote for R you are literally a nazi” or “if you buy a Tesla you are supporting racism and a racist”.

  10. The man who just got the Madden cover's self-promotion as senior in high school. I mean, it's definitely inspiring in an anything can happen kind of way and work hard and bet on yourself and get lucky:

    My name is Josh Allen, a quarterback out of a small town school in the Central Valley called Firebaugh. I currently stand a 6'4" and at 200 lbs. I have obtained a 3.8 gpa throughout all my high school years, while playing 3 varsity sports. I currently have no D-1 offers due to the competition of our school, however I have a few walk on opportunities. I led our team this year to a school record of 10-2, while breaking numerous individual records as well. I believe I have what it takes to have a successful collegiate career, wherever I may go.

    report the posts that it's done on and put a note in the comments

    I reported yesterday as it was happening, in real time. Maybe since you are the Sarge and have reiterated the digging-deep-into-the-history-negging-because-trying-to-single (or triple-handedly) ban it will stop for a while, before the usual suspects are emboldened and get mad at something non-inflammatory that I say. Goodness knows I'll remember to post my NYT link next time, though.

    I generally get the sense that @hayden_horn is more like the cop who turns a blind eye despite knowing the law when it comes to this stuff, but maybe I'm wrong and he was busy with his day job.

    I don't think I've seen you do this, so no not talking to you.

    Mullet is on his last leg, one more russian talking point and he's out.

    Most of animal smoking posts are completely innocuous. Yes he has some completely shit opinions but the fact he isn't liberal enough is not a bannable offense. 

    Other than these two I can't think of another recurring shit poster such as Ray Pugh that I don't ban on sight

    Multifandom Fanfictions — I don't want to hear anyone complain about  Wanda...

    I'm sure you have the access to see, but essentially @Captain Ron, @Chopper and one or two others who escape me are so a) emotionally fragile and b) technologically deficient to where they don't know how to use the ignore button, that they just went deep into completely innocuous posts and negged while crying into their gallons of bluebell.

    I was wondering if there are professional business plan writers and if they can be hired for a reasonable fee. I am sure google would pull stuff up but vetting those random names would be time consuming.

    Background: I see a large number of special needs patients. They are on Medicaid which only pays for subpar treatments. For a long time, I've contemplated starting a not for profit arm of the business so that I can provide better care for this patient population. But, I haven't had the impetus. The time and effort would be a drain on my main practice. As I am getting closer to retirement age, though, I think having a lasting legacy would be nice. And the service would benefit Austin and the surrounding areas and the business may be able to expand to other large Metropolitan areas in Texas.

    I am pretty confident that I won't have any issues raising money for the business. But before I ask high net worth individuals for money, even if they are friends, I should have a business plan. I could write it but I would prefer to have a professional do it.

    DM sent.

    Moving this reply to an appropriate thread....

    Buddy, I am not trying to censor or ban you. Tell me how many negs I've put on your posts relative to the number of posts you've made in the Elon thread. I'm not stalking you or trying to run out of the board. 

    However, I am going to continue calling you out for your lazy and bad posting style of making huge claims and saying "it's from a source!!" and then mayyyybe linking the text, but never a link to the article. That's basic discourse 101 my dude. Wanting you to be a less shitty poster isn't campaigning for a ban. 

    Now on the other hand, I HAVE reported GRUhorn repeatedly because he thread shits constantly. And posts articles with sketchy sourcing. GRU does that with intent because he's a fucko. I'm pretty sure you do it because you're lazy and don't like thinking that hard when you aren't getting paid for it. 

    What I'm saying is: be better. You're a fucking Texas grad, not aggy. 

    My bad-- you are right, it was Captain Ron, not Captain Ant!
