  1. If that could functionally neuter rep in CR, I’ve always thought that that would be a good idea.
  2. there's video of trump peeing on desantis
  3. facts are demonstrable, the idea that debating them and demanding honest engagement in their debate is toxic or mean is what this discussion started from and is literally why so many people were having a hard time wrapping their heads around imma’s issue that people in CR are too nasty, generally. Demanding to bring your own facts and refusing to support them is peak entitlement.
  4. No idea if it was good or not but I remember Rockin Robin existing.
  5. Nobody helped this guy find a suit?
  6. I’ve had this on in the background, how has nobody scored, wtf
  7. I think outside of the context where it was raised here, the idea that people should be more open and less assholish in the cloak room would probably be generally supported. It’s complicated to do that in general because of what has happened with political discourse in general as well as the weaponization of misinformation in social media generally, and the general fatigue from the societal breakdown since Trump was elected in general. But it is bad, like a bad marriage full of resentment wherever the blame lies.
  8. i've been keeping my office humidity at 50%. It's bananas how quick it drops when I open the door this time of year - just checked and the rest of the house is at 25.
  9. It seems inconsistent to underline that this is a site where we make vulgar and tasteless jokes in your argument that we should be kind and gentle with morons in the cloak room? Honestly I think that that is what throws people here - if you want to create a safe space OK but why here for this specifically?
  10. are we talking about what happened to LHL or slorch's tangential example of hyperbolic criticism of elected officials?
  11. There was an era were I think dad was low key giving me bate material. I wound up with an issue of SI from the grocery store. It had this whole shoot in it I kept that magazine for a long time.
  12. i assume that the profitability issue is one facing all niche messageboards, even ones with fairly heavy traffic like this one. I don't think that the solution is in catering to to the "I can't help but look at the politics section and also I am a giant fucking pussy about it" demo.
  13. Nuance like that is what makes slorch slorch.
  14. If you were capable of independent thought like you think you are, you’d do it instead of these stupid fairness heuristics.
  15. You’re not entitled to your own facts dude. You get tripped up over the idea that one “side” might be consistently wrong, which is what you’re going to do here, but the conversation is about bringing falsehoods into a conversation and then crying busy when they are challenged with truths.
  16. I can understand the desire to make the board welcoming to everyone. It just doesn’t work for a politics board in today’s political environment where one side lies about virtually everything. Challenging those lies is necessary - ignoring them is how we got to now. Make a right wing echo chamber, ban all politics, whatever, but right now you’re twisted up, I don’t know how people are supposed to ignore him when he keeps coming back, and you’re blaming the people refuting falsehoods for derailing the conversation.
  17. Maybe a [safe] tag for busy posters with dubious sources
  18. So was the game all in his head? Is Wayne Brady real?
  19. Also, not a movie but Freaks and Geeks deserves a mention.
  20. Kinda on topic of this tangent and the overall thread - the premise of Booksmart is that the two uptight type A clarinet playing girls realize that the kids who partied and had social lives *also * got in to Yale and MIT, and that perhaps they fucked up. So they have one night to get all their partying in before graduation. It has Jonah Hill’s sister and is kinda Superbad-ish in a lot of ways. If you haven’t seen it, it is one of the more enjoyable films of that sort (or any kind of comedy) in the past 5 or however many years.
